Larry Fleet teamed up with brothers and podcast hosts Dan and Reid Isbell on a moving rendition of “Where I Find God” on a recent episode of God’s Country.
Fleet, a Tennessee-born singer-songwriter, was “taking [God’s Country] to church” when he performed his 2021 ballad on the show: “From a bar stool to that Evinrude/ Sunday mornin' in a church pew/ In a deer stand or a hay field/ An interstate back to Nashville/ In a Chevrolet with the windows down/ Me and Him just ridin' around/ Sometimes, whether I'm lookin' for Him or not/ That's where I find God.”
“This week Reid and Dan host hit songwriter and artist, Larry Fleet, out in God's Country. Larry shares the meaning behind his signature hat you see him wearing, which ties back to arguably the best burger in Nashville. The three of them bond over growing up on four wheelers without bounds and give the reason behind why they must love their kids more than their parents loved them. Larry shares his Nashville journey with the guys and how keeping his faith has helped him continue through it all. The episode ends with them harmonizing ‘Where I Find God,’ which was written by Larry.”
Dan and Reid — who have written music for Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Scotty McCreery, Jon Pardi, Lainey Wilson and others — started their weekly podcast in early January 2024. Some of the first guests to appear on the show include HARDY, Dustin Lynch, Colbie 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.”
