Singer songwriter Ben Earle is offering Country fans a fresh take on the lives and careers of their favourite artists.
Country music has always been closely tied to the land from which it sprung, and as a result many of the best Country songs tell us stories with a strong sense of place; be it Dolly’s Mountain Home in Tennessee, Tim McGraw’s Nashville, or Cam’s Redwood Tree in California.
We’re taking this one step further by better getting to know our favourite Country stars through the places that are most important to them; the landscapes that have shaped them, the places that have opened their eyes to new possibilities, the people who’ve crossed their paths and inspired them to capture their story in a song. If their lives were a stack of postcards, where would they be from?
We also dive deep into the songwriting, to find out more about the places that have inspired some of our guests most beloved songs.
There’s a saying; we are everywhere we’ve ever been. So meet us here every Thursday to hear real stories about the places that have made the biggest and brightest Country artists who they are today.

Our journey begins with…. Cam! Grammy award winning singer songwriter, Camaron Ochs, is where we go for deep healing. She is one of the greatest storytellers around, so who better to ask about the places who have made her who she is today?
Cam takes us to her Grandparents’ ranch in Southern California where her Grandpa first taught her to play the piano; we climb up the redwood tree in her parents backyard where she thought all her big thoughts as a child; and to the banks of the Nile where she started to heal a broken heart. She also tells us about the “humanness” of Nashville that she likes so much, and the elements of country living that feel so right to her. Of course, we talk about what it was like working collaboratively with Beyoncé, and we dive deep into her songwriting; the places and people who have inspired her most powerful songs - including the guru she met in Nepal who inspired one of the tracks on All Things Light!
Listen to the songs discussed in the show by searching for our Country Roads Podcast playlist on Spotify. All episodes are also available on Youtube - @CountryRoadsPod - and you can follow us on Instagram @countryroadspod for more stories behind the stories of Country’s finest song writers.
