Josh Ross performed at our QYK Guitar Pull and J.R. spoke with him backstage before the show. J.R. asked him if he had to cover one song for the rest of his career what would it be. Josh told us it would be "Guitar Town" by Steve Earle.

Josh says, "He's the reason why I feel like I fell in love with country music. And I just, I love that record even more than, the Copperhead Road and all those other records they had. So I feel like that would be one of my ones...I just, every time that song comes on, I'm like, I'm good. It's like, yeah, I'm good to go. I'm in a happy mood. So I feel like that would be my one."
