Since moving from their native Michigan to Nashville in 2020, Greta Van Fleet have become a vital part of an exciting new Nashville rock scene. All four members of the group — singer Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist Sam Kiszka, and drummer Daniel Wagner — join us on Nashville Now to talk about their unlikely evolution from a band indebted to classic rock to flag-wavers for an eclectic 21st century sound. They talk about recording their new album, Palace for the People, the changing faces they’ve seen in their audience, and reveal what they think listeners get wrong about Greta Van Fleet. They even break out the harmonica. It’s a glimpse into Nashville’s role as a rock town, through the eyes of a dynamic young group. Country is Here… Nashville is Now.

When you’re a legend like Jessica Lange, there’s never enough time to walk through the major memories and moments of a lifetime of work. But the two-time Oscar winner did her best on a visit to the Rolling Stone Studio, where she talked to culture writer CT Jones about returning to American Horror Story for a bravura performance in Season 13, her long relationship with Ryan Murphy, and the early days of her career — from miming in Paris (!) to her breakout role in King Kong (including the subsequent flood of publicity that made her cry) and her career-cap performance in a recent production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night. “I've been incredibly lucky,” Lange told us. “I love acting, and I've had decades of being able to do it, which has been a joy for me. … It all was a great adventure. I'm so grateful that [it] came my way.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Earlier this month, Vince Staples joined Rolling Stone’s residency at New York’s historic Cherry Lane Theater for an onstage edition of our classic conversation series, The Rolling Stone Interview. Speaking with Rolling Stone’s Jeff Ihaza, he brought his subdued and pointed wit to the music business, life on the road, and the expectations placed on Black artists. His latest album, ‘Crybaby,’ is adventurously genre-agnostic, carrying the frenetic energy of punk, funk, and jazz. Staples discussed the making of the record, touring with a live band, and how working on his Netflix series, The Vince Staples Show, changed his approach to music. Vince Staples on the boundaries of hip hop: “If you say that utilizing certain sounds is abandoning hip-hop, then you don’t know enough about hip-hop to have a conversation about it. Because it doesn’t make any sense, literally.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Senior writers Brian Hiatt and Angie Martoccio join contributing editor Rob Sheffield in the Rolling Stone Studio for a deep dive on our new list of the 200 best rock songs of the 21st century. They go through the methodology (most acts only get one song, with a few exceptions), the arguments (not everyone loves Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag"), and the various subgenres represented (from emo to pop/punk to garage-rock revivalists to dance-rock to classic-rock survivors). They also explain why the list was broad enough to include pop stars and rappers along with the bands you might expect, and break down the top 10 in detail. Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s been a good year for Christopher Abbott. In February, he was nominated for his first Tony Award for playing Biff Loman in the revival of Arthur Miller’s Death of Salesman. In late July, he welcomed his first child, a daughter, with partner and fellow actor Aubrey Plaza. Weeks later, Marvel announced that Abbott will take on the role of Charles Xavier (Professor X) in the highly anticipated X-Men reboot coming in 2028. And most recently, he stepped into the boots of Adam Trask for Netflix’s buzzy, eight-episode adaptation of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. One on its own would be a feat. Together, they represent a banner 10 months — and there’s more on the immediate horizon. Abbott stopped by the Rolling Stone Studio to discuss it all, as well as his favorite artists right now (he cues up Drake before boxing), the project of his that he wishes more people had seen, and his disastrous attempts to sneak into auditions as a struggling actor.

Brad Paisley may have written and recorded some of country music’s most humorous songs, but the West Virginia singer-guitarist is also one of its most serious voices. In a special episode of Nashville Now recorded at Paisley’s home studio, he speaks candidly about his song of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, “Same Here,” the opioid crisis in his native Appalachia, his opposition to a proposed Nashville data center, and his commitment to helping those in need with his charitable market, The Store. He also lets us into how he wrote a buzzy new song for South Park, shares his favorite memory of Dolly Parton, and reveals how he helped get William Shatner back into the studio for the actor’s new album Love & Other Mysteries. It’s a wide-ranging conversation with one of country music’s modern-day greats, only on Nashville Now. Country is Here… Nashville is Now. Check out our Hear Now playlist on Spotify, updated weekly.

The 27-year-old songwriter also discusses her love for Steve Martin and Nathan Fielder, her song “Phoebe” and how many times she’s been asked about watching ‘Friends,’ and her real-life friend, Gracie Abrams.
