Ben Earle from The Shires sits in

The Shires' Ben Earle sits in, playing the best country music around, with new songs from Miranda Lambert and The Highwomen alongside classics from Lonestar and Dolly Parton.

Ben Earle from The Shires, with an hour of the best country music, songs that you can't hear anywhere else!

Tonight he has new music from Miranda Lambert, Lauren Alaina and country supergroup The Highwomen alongside classics oldies from The Highwaymen, Lonestar and Dolly Parton.

Plus Ben reveals the link between singing cowboy movie star Gene Autry & Willie Nelson's son Lukas, and - after Lil Nas X & Blanco Brown - discovers that the history of country trap is a bit longer than you think!

While regular host Bob Harris takes a break, Ben is in the hot seat for the month of August. He is one half of The Shires, the UK's most successful country act of all time.

This is his Radio 2 presenting debut.
