Val Storey and Larry Cordle

Episode 257: When you live in Nashville and chase the essence of country music, you find it's very much alive at residency shows like New Monday at the Station Inn. That's where master musicians Val Storey, Larry Cordle and Carl Jackson play a range of original and classic songs that connect country to bluegrass. It's magic, especially because of Val Storey's remarkable voice. She's the best country singer most people have never heard of. And after decades of singing for and with others, she has an album of her own, produced by star bluegrass songwriter Larry Cordle. Val and Larry sit down together to reflect on a long friendship and why some voices need an extra push.
