Ricky Koole and Leo Blokhuis explore the craft of country music in their new show.

They search for the soul of the genre, for the songs that show the honest and vulnerable side of the singer without embellishment, the songs that tell it like it is. The The Soul of Country is all about the classic "three chords and the truth": songs that have a simple musical structure, but sing the basic human emotions in beautiful melodies.

From well-known classics like Jolene and Behind Closed Doors to obscure gems of the genre. Ricky and the band play them animatedly and compellingly, Leo provides surprising context. The Soul of Country offers a warm and surprising take on country music and through it is a plea for humanity.
