The Ballad of Lainey Wilson and Jessie Murph

There's often an unspoken (and deeply misogynistic) rule on country music radio: never play two female artists back to back. In this episode of Switched On Pop's country week, we aim to do just that. Looking at two artists on opposite ends of the country music spectrum – traditionalist Lainey Wilson, and genre-bending Jessie Murph – Nate and Charlie try to understand the state of female country through their respective songs "4x4xU" and "Blue Strips."


Songs discussed:

  • Lainey Wilson – 4x4xU
  • Jessie Murph – Blue Strips
  • Lainey Wilson – Country's Cool Again
  • Lainey Wilson – Heart Like A Truck
  • HARDY, Lainey Wilson – wait in the truck
  • Jessie Murph – Gotta Hold
  • Jessie Murph – Gucci Mane
  • Jessie Murph, Sexyy Red – Blue Strips (Remix)
  • Zach Top – I Never Lie
  • Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats
