Kirsten Warner's in the studio, paying tribute to Max Merrit who died this week and playing Max Merritt's "Slippin' Away". Plus two queer country artists - music from people who love country when country doesn't love em back. Standout track was "Banshee Moan" from Shannon McNally - a graduation shout-out for three winners - not on the playlist (by mistake) but came after "Whiskey In My Whiskey" by Felice Brothers.
