This week Reid and Dan Isbell sit down with Music Row legend, Michael Heeney. He's the man behind some of your favorite songs, including "These Boots" and "Love Your Love The Most" by Eric Church. The guys dive in with Heeney on the current status of music row, an epic story that includes him passing out with a few country music legends, and what it has been like having a hit song, every decade, for the last five decades. The episode ends with the "Isbell Twin" world debut, a song written by Michael Heeney himself honoring Reid and Dan.
