Craig Morgan teamed up with brothers and podcast hosts Dan and Reid Isbell to deliver a powerful acoustic rendition of an emotional early 2000s ballad. Together, the trio covered “One More Day” by Diamond Rio on a recent episode of God’s Country. The Isbell brothers said they could've sat with Morgan for several more hours while they listen to his storytelling.

“One More Day” served as the title track of Diamond Rio’s 14-track studio album that made its debut in 2001: “One more day, one more time/ One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied/ But then again, I know what it would do/ Leave me wishing still for one more day with you/ One more day.”

Morgan and the Isbell brothers also took “a deep dive” into some of Morgan’s most memorable hits throughout his decades-long career, including “Almost Home,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” and “That's What I Love About Sunday,” to name a few. Morgan, an ARMY Reserve member, also shared “stories from the battlefield, his journey to the Nashville music scene, and his memoir, God Family Country,” during his appearance on the podcast.

Dan and Reid — who have written music for Luke CombsMiranda LambertScotty McCreeryJon PardiLainey Wilson and others — started their weekly podcast this year. Guests appearing on the show so far include HARDYDustin LynchColbie Caillat and others.

“One of our favorite things about country music has always been how intertwined it is with the outdoors,” Dan and Reid Isbell said in a statement when God’s Country launched. They hope to “bring the outdoor enthusiast or country music lover an up close and personal look into the minds of some of the best songwriters and artists of the genre — a place where they can be honest about struggles, relationships, their connection to the outdoors, the music business, family, whatever they feel comfortable talking about. We can’t wait to see where this partnership will lead and who this podcast will reach.”

The iHeartPodcasts/MeatEater show is available anywhere you listen to podcasts, including in the iHeartRadio app. Select country stations will broadcast the show between 7-11:30 p.m. local time on Sunday evenings. Find God's Country here.
