Darius Rucker sits in, with guests Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser - Rip & Beth from the TV series "Yellowstone" and the new "Dutton Ranch" - and The Shires join us in session!

We have exclusive music from Alyssa Bonagura and the First Time Flyers with Striking Matches as well, our Horizon Artist is Australia's Mack Geiger, Ernest Tubb has our Reissue Of The Week, and we'll be celebrating the birthday of the King - George Strait!

A highlight of Radio 2's recent Piano Room season, country superstar Darius Rucker is a multi-million selling artist in not one, but two genres! He started off as the lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish - whose first album went platinum 22 times over! - and then transitioned into a solo career as a country star, with signature hits like the billion-streaming "Wagon Wheel", which he performed to huge acclaim at last year's Opry 100 celebration in London's Royal Albert Hall.

Currently recording a new album in London, he's found time to sit in for the legendary Bob Harris, who is taking a break for a few weeks.
