Acclaimed biographer Jimmy McDonough’s new book Gary Stewart: I Am From The Honky-Tonks goes deep into the rough-and-tumble life of Stewart, one of country music’s unsung greats. My own first exposure to Stewart came via an incredible cover of his song “She’s Actin’ Single (I’m Drinkin’ Doubles)” on Wednesday’s 2022 album Mowing The Leaves Instead Of Piling ‘Em Up. The cover quickly became one of my all-time favorites, and it piqued my interest about the source material. So I’m excited to share this new essay from Wednesday’s Karly Hartzman discussing her love of Stewart’s music and reflecting on McDonough’s book. —Chris DeVille
