I went to the kind of small Christian college that still required chapel attendance, and one morning, scheduled in the midst of all the pastors and inspirational or motivational speakers, we had a presenter who came dressed as Saint Patrick. He did nothing but recite Patrick’s autobiographical Confessio. He never broke character, even using his staff to prod awake a student who had fallen asleep in the first row.

Each week in God and Country Music, Nick Rynerson gives country music a chance and examines the world of Americana, folk, alt-country, and popular country music.
