Secretly SocietySongs: Ohia 'Didn't It Rain'Every writer has a story about the assignment that got away; for music journalist Stephen Deusner, the story was that of Jason Molina and Songs: Ohia's 2002 record 'Didn't It Rain.' In 2014, on the wings of Secretly Canadian reissuing 'Didn't It Rain,' Deusner pitched an ambitious oral history featuring some of the people who knew Jason best and might be able to lend some humanity to an artist who had always been mythologized — often by himself. Sadly, the piece was not published at the time, but nearly a decade to the day after its inception, the oral history was iss...

Inner StatesSouthern Rock, Midwestern SoulThis episode first ran on August 28, 2022.For music critic Stephen Deusner, songwriters fall into one of two camps. There are the ones who have something they want to tell you, and then there are the ones who want to figure something out. For him, the longevity of the Drive-By Truckers comes from their residence in the second camp. For decades now, they’ve been writing smart, complex songs whose characters add complexity to our picture of rural America, especially the South.

Big Talk – WFHBThe South & the Drive-By Truckers: Stephen DeusnerHe listened to the Drive-By Truckers on his headphones as he walked, daily, to the local coffeehouse in Birmingham, England. The band’s songs and lyrics made him think of his own hometown in the American South. So Stephen Deusner decided to write a book about the alternative Southern rock band. The book, Where the Devil Don’t Stay: Traveling the South with the Drive-By Truckers, is about much more than a musical act; it’s about the American South: what it was, what it is, and how we perceive it.
