While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Cutting Deep

Cutting Deep #13 - January 14, 2026

By Raegan Neufeld

Published January 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM CST

We were due for another country episode of Cutting Deep, and this time around it’s a mix of songs from the 80s and 90s. They come from albums like Alabama’s “Roll On,” Dolly Parton’s “White Limozeen,” The Judds’ “Rockin’ With The Rhythm,” and Chris LeDoux’s “Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy.”
