In this episode of The Cowboy Perspective, Neil Dudley engages with Josh Weathers in a profound conversation that spans Weathers' personal life, career, and deep-rooted influences. Born in Arlington, Texas, Josh Weathers shares his musical journey that began at 19 when he found a guitar in a buddy's garage. The turning point came when his father, shortly before passing away, encouraged him to pursue music. Weathers' narrative intertwines his family's legacy, revealing his father's unconventional path from living overseas to playing football in Brownwood, Texas, and his grandfather's notable efforts during the Vietnam War era.

The conversation shifts to Weathers' embracement of the cowboy lifestyle, influenced by his grandparent’s ethos and his own experiences in rodeo. Dudley and Weathers delve into the significance of integrity, hard work, and the cowboy perspective on life's challenges and opportunities. Weathers touches on his transition from music to missionary work in India with his wife, where they founded a school, demonstrating his commitment to make a meaningful impact beyond his music career.

Their dialogue also covers Weathers' musical influences, the shifting landscape of country music, and his recent resurgence on social media platforms, thanks to his dedication to sharing his craft.
