For every pop country artist singing in front of an arena, there's at least a hundred more who are grinding their way down backroads and shitty gigs just to get there. And they all start from the same place: the bottom. Ellen Angelico, who's toured with artists like Cam and Brandy Clark, memorializes their mentor with their six-part podcast series Girl In a Hurry: The Shelly Bush Story. Not only does Angelico provide a biography of Bush, a relentless performer who did not know the meaning of "no," they also take us into Nashville's working class – the grind you don't always hear about.
