Johnson also opens up about a brutal fall he took in 2010 that nearly derailed his songwriting and even affected his personality. Joshua Hedley, a fixture on Nashville’s Broadway stages, joins us too to talk about his new Western swing album, All Hat, and share the craziest things he’s seen in the honky-tonks.
