Songs of freedom and desperation, of abundance and privation, of transcendence and depravity, wrought from the steel strings of NOTLCO founder Wes Houp’s well traveled guitar. Buy it from Amazon, if you like. Or if you don’t like that, buy it from Down in the Valley. Younger folk might choose to listen on Spotify.

Travels with Jo is a youtube series that follows Danny and Jo Mayer as they utilize public and alternative transportation to get around Fayette Urban County, Kentucky. Along the way, father and daughter visit off-beat places, tell off-beat stories, and do other off-beat things. Equal parts Anthony Bourdain, Dave Shuffett, and Norwegian slow tv–along with a dash of off-brand regional history–Travels with Jo will introduce viewers to a whole different bluegrass.
