¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾'s Songs We Love Podcast

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

This time we take a look at Amy Ray's 'Didn't Know A Damn Thing,' from her latest solo album Holler. The song starts off like a country song complete with banjo, pedal steel and two-step back beat. But as the lyrics build, out comes a story about a white kid growing up in the Jim Crow South.
