*If you would prefer to listen to this piece, you can find the podcast version here. In the last year or so, I’ve “returned” to country music (I spent a few years listening to primarily Christian music) … I can probably thank Mackenzie for this shift. While much of country music is ridiculous or silly… Continue reading Buy Dirt
