is a series and a podcast that looks at the stories behind some of the songs we're playing on our new music discovery stream, .

On this episode, Eric Hodge chats with Sarah Shook of Sarah Shook & The Disarmers about her song 'Dwight Yoakam' from the album Sidelong.

Shook says 'Dwight Yoakam' is a song of irony. It tells the tale of a person being left behind not for a famous person, but for someone who can sing like a famous person.

"That song is very unique, in that it's the only song I've ever written where I cried the entire time I was writing it."
