The Castellows are three sisters?Eleanor, Lily, and Powell Balkcom?who started sharing their music on Instagram just a couple of years ago, and now they seem to be everywhere. Their newfound success has led them to a fast-moving career in Nashville and to the recent release of a new EP called A Little Goes a Long Way. With beautiful harmonies and lyrics about a simpler way of life, many of the songs pay tribute to the sisters? roots in rural Georgia, where they grew up spending weekends on the lake and singing hymns at a small country church. Sid talks to the sisters about how their music career is helping to carry on a family name, their love of Georgia football, their grandmother?s cooking, and how homeschooling gave them the time to focus on their music.

Emmy Russell was born in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, and grew up touring and performing with her grandmother, Loretta Lynn, as well as her mother, Patsy Lynn. She doesn?t sound much like the ?Queen of Country,? but Emmy has a beautiful voice and plenty of talent as a songwriter. On an episode of American Idol earlier this spring, she wowed the judges with an intensely personal song that caught the country?s attention?and earned her a ticket to Hollywood. It?s called ?Skinny,? and it touches on her past struggles with an eating disorder, as well as a deep lack of confidence that?s kept her off the stage. Now Emmy is finding her own voice and looking at a bright future in music. Emmy talks to Sid about why she had to take a break from the family business for a few years, what Loretta taught her about songwriting, and the famous guitar she gave her at the age of 15.   For more info visit: southernliving.com/biscuitsandjam Biscuits & Jam is produced by: Sid Evans - Editor-in-Chief, Southern Living Krissy Tiglias - GM, Southern Living Lottie Leymarie - Executive Producer Michael Onufrak - Audio Engineer/Producer Jeremiah McVay - Producer Jennifer Del Sole-Director of Audio Growth Strategy & Operations Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, José talks to Sid about the many kitchens of his childhood, how cooking for those in peril is both an act of relief and a chance to learn, and how longer tables are perhaps the closest thing to a perfect place on Earth.

Bethany Joy Lenz was born in Florida and grew up in Texas, which is where she first got involved in the performing arts, carrying on a tradition she inherited from her grandparents. Her family eventually headed to New Jersey, where her Southerness drew the wrong kind of attention from some of the girls in her class, but she made it through the experience and eventually landed on the hit TV show One Tree Hill. Now Joy is living in Nashville, writing and performing music, editing a publication called Modern Vintage, and hosting a podcast with her One Tree Hill co-stars called Drama Queens. If that?s not enough, she?s starring in the new Hallmark Original Movie, A Biltmore Christmas, which is based on a trip back in time to the famous North Carolina estate, and she?s working on a book about her years spent in a strange cult.

In this week?s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Miranda Lambert, a woman who?s fearlessly blazed her own path through country music. Growing up in small town Texas, where there were seemingly more churches than people, she encountered every aspect of life thanks to her supportive parents and family. Her loving parents were private investigators and often opened their home to clients and other people in need ? especially women who needed a safe place to escape to. And these encounters provided inspiration for much of the world weary songwriting that may have sometimes outpaced her own lived experience early in her career. But while she?s been standing firmly on her own two feet for a while now, she still has an impressive intergenerational support system of women who back up her confidence and now she?s got a cookbook that pays homage to them.

Dolly Parton was last on the show back in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, and we talked on the phone about her Christmas traditions, her childhood in East Tennessee, and her incredible work getting millions of kids to read through the Imagination Library.

She told me all about her lastest album, ?Rockstar,? which features 30 rock and roll classics, from covers like Prince?s ?Purple Rain? and Bob Seger?s ?Night Moves,? to some powerful new Dolly Parton originals. She?s also just released a new book called Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones, which documents more than six decades of outfits, costumes, and iconic looks from a career in the spotlight.

Wynonna Judd was one half of one of the most famous duos in country music history, and she?s also been plenty successful out on her own. She was last on the show nearly three years ago, back during the height of the pandemic, and a lot has happened since then. On April 30th, 2022, the day before the Judds were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, she lost her mother, Naomi, to suicide, an event that upended her life and shook the world of country to its core. But Wynonna is back on her feet, and she?s dealt with the emotional turmoil of that event by reconnecting with her fans and focusing on her music. She also talks about becoming a grandmother and shares a little bit of a brand new song. This episode includes mentions of suicide.

Lucinda Williams was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, a place she would memorialize in one her most famous songs. But she didn?t stay there for long, moving with her folks to a string of college towns where her father taught poetry and literature. Her peripatetic life and her mother?s mental illness led to a sometimes difficult childhood, but music gave her an outlet, and her raw, honest lyrics have made her one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters to ever come out of the South. Despite three Grammy?s and countless other awards, she?s never fit neatly into any particular genre, and she never wanted to. Now she has a new memoir called Don?t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You, and a new album called ?Stories From a Rock and Roll Heart? ? her first since having a stroke back in 2020.

In this week?s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Jason Isbell, a four-time Grammy-Award-winner who?s known as one of the best songwriters of his generation. Jason Isbell was born to parents who were still teenagers in a small town in North Alabama, and as a result he spent a lot of time with his grandfather, who was a Pentecostal preacher and a guitar player. By high school he was immersed in the music culture of Muscle Shoals, and in his early 20s he was playing to sold out crowds with the Drive By Truckers. As a solo artist, Isbell has become known as a poet of the rural South who?s not afraid to speak his mind.

Billy Reid was born and raised in Amite, Louisiana, but he?s called Florence, Alabama, home for more than 20 years now.

In this week?s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Miranda Lambert, a woman who?s fearlessly blazed her own path through country music. Growing up in small town Texas, where there were seemingly more churches than people, she encountered every aspect of life thanks to her supportive parents and family. Her loving parents were private investigators and often opened their home to clients and other people in need ? especially women who needed a safe place to escape to. And these encounters provided inspiration for much of the world weary songwriting that may have sometimes outpaced her own lived experience early in her career. But while she?s been standing firmly on her own two feet for a while now, she still has an impressive intergenerational support system of women who back up her confidence and now she?s got a cookbook that pays homage to them.

In this week?s episode, Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Living Magazine, chats with Steven Satterfield. Raised in Savannah, Georgia, he grew up as the only member of his family allowed in his grandma?s kitchen. But while he was interested in cooking from a young age, in a way, it was his time as a touring musician in the ?90s dream pop band, Seely, that led him to be a career restaurant worker. He went on to open a James Beard recognized restaurant called Miller Union in Atlanta and just released his second cookbook, ?Vegetable Revelations.? Through it all, though, collaboration proved to be key, though it also doesn?t hurt that he got to meet Mick Jagger.
