Pigs in a Podcast

Jamie Coffis talks by phone with Brennan Leigh, a new artist here at the pig - and we're quite fond of. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it's easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of greats like Guy Clark, who colorfully endorsed her flatpicking: "Brennen Leigh plays guitar like a motherf******," and David Olney, who described her writing as "tender, violent, sentimental, foolish and wise.

Her new record, "Prarie Love Letter," was produced by Robbie Fulks.
