Episode 147: As a literal child of the 1970s country outlaw movement, Waylon Payne had access to opportunity and temptation, and for most of his 48 years, temptation won. While immensely talented as a singer, songwriter and actor, he struggled with some harsh drug addictions and personal trauma. On the new album Blue Eyes, the Harlot, the Queer, the Pusher & Me, Payne chronicles his crash, his recovery and his return to the functioning world with incredible candor and grace. He's an extremely forthright conversationalist too. Also, a catch up with Ben and Dorothy of The Danberrys, a married duo from Nashville who've been through a journey of recovery of their own.
