After Hours: Country Detours — with Jeff Long

Jeffery Ryan Long

Every Thursday, Country Detours travels through the evening inversion mists along the backroads and byways of blues, soul, and country-western music. Songs with the salty tang of greens and crispy pig skin, the easy glide of a cool beer from a wet bottle. Country Detours with Jeff Long — Thursday nights, 10 p.m. to midnight on HPR-1.
