Bunnie Xo hosted “Tennessee legend” Craig Morgan on a new episode of Dumb Blonde.
The country superstar — known for career-spanning hits like “That’s What I Love About Sunday,” “Redneck Yacht Club,” “International Harvester” and more — met with the podcast host “for a powerful, emotional, and unexpectedly uplifting conversation,” Bunnie Xo shared in the episode description. “Craig opens up about his journey from growing up in Kingston Springs to serving in the Army and attending the elite Korean Ranger School—experiences that shaped the man and the musician he would become.
“He shares intimate memories of his humble beginnings, his first hunting trip with his mom, and the moment he realized music was his calling. Craig also reflects deeply on his faith, the loss of his son, and the resilience that carried him forward, along with the unwavering support of his wife, Karen, throughout their 37-year marriage,” Bunnie Xo continued. “Craig reveals the incredible story behind his viral hit “The Father, My Son.” Written spontaneously at 4:30 AM and never meant for anyone to hear, the song took on a life of its own after he recorded it with Sonya Isaacs… This is Craig Morgan like you’ve never heard him before.”
Bunnie Xo, who is married to award-winning artist Jelly Roll, launched Dumb Blonde in 2019. She hails the podcast “the ultimate destination for comedy, trending and lifestyle,” promising “hilarious discussions about relationships, trauma, embarrassing moments, and all the realness life throws at us.”
Jelly Roll is part of the star-studded lineup of the 2025 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour presented by Capital One.
