Too Country for Country Music? – Shane Profitt, Madden Metcalf & Cole Goodwin

Too Country for Country Music? – Shane Profitt, Madden Metcalf & Cole Goodwin Live from CMA Fest on the Bottomland‑wrapped pontoon, Mary O’Neill Phillips sits down with Shane Profitt, Madden Metcalf and Cole Goodwin to talk real country music, hunting, fishing, faith and small‑town life. Shane shares stories from his biggest turkey season yet, Osceola hunts in Florida, and the journey of songs like “Long Live Country” and “Comes With the Country” as he heads out on tour with Luke Bryan. Madden dives into his Florida Forgotten Coast commercial‑fishing roots and how working crab boats and Gulf Coast docks turned into saltwater Southern country songs, while Cole brings Pooler, Georgia grit and a roots‑first sound that’s helping lead country music back to its traditional core. If you’re searching for country music that actually sounds like country—turkey hunting, coastal fishing, bass ponds, faith, family, and small towns—you’ll feel right at home in this episode.
