Thanks for having me man. 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: Now, as a guy who's been around a while, I 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: I've just for your knowledge, I've been a country music 12 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: fan my entire life, and so I suffered for many, 13 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: many years listening to people's music that others would go, 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: what country, Why do you listen to country? What the country? 15 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: It's something, and yet suddenly it is huge. You must 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: have enjoyed that ride. 17 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I kind of always thought country music 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: was cool, you know. I was kind of gravitated toward 19 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 3: guys that, you know, I thought were a little bit different, 20 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: guys like Ronnie Millsap and Alabama and some of those guys. 21 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: When I was growing up, and you know, I think 22 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,319 Speaker 3: every sort of new generation of artists, we bring our 23 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: influences into the into the genre. And and for me 24 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 3: that was a lot of obviously a lot of country music, 25 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: but a lot of rock and southern rock and roll too. 26 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: And so, you know, I think now when people turn 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: on the radio, turn on country radio. 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: If you hadn't listened to it in a while, you know, 29 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: it's different. 30 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: There's there's things all over the board, from you know, 31 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 3: pop country stuff to now it's you know, it's switching 32 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: back around. Guys like Zachtop coming out that are super 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: traditional again, and so there's a little bit of everything, man, 34 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: And I think it's a it's a fun time. 35 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Is music better for it? Is country music better for it? 36 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: Is it? 37 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: What? 38 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: Is it better for it? The whole experience? More artists, 39 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,199 Speaker 1: more doesn't mean better. 40 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think so. 41 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's it's you know, the old saying, 42 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: it's uh, quality versus quantity. 43 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: I guess you know what I mean. 44 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: It's like, you want to have a lot of great 45 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: artists that are making great records, and you know a 46 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: lot of times there's sort of this almost like this 47 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: flush of new artists that come in and you got, 48 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: you know, all these songs and all these names, and 49 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: it's kind of hard to put a face with a name. 50 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, you know, guys start, 51 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: you know, so the cream kind of rises to the top. 52 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: Guys start breaking through, and. 53 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: You know, and you start to see who those guys are, 54 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 3: and it's you know, it's cool, and those are the 55 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 3: ones that you know, the most impactful, or those kind 56 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: of guys. But you know, now it's streaming and all 57 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: the things all over the place. You know, those those artists, 58 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: those stars can kind of come out of nowhere and 59 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: come from anywhere. So it's just a different time. You know, 60 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: it's a different time than it was when I kind 61 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: of hit the scene. And right now you just kind 62 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: of never know what that next artist is going to 63 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 3: come from. 64 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: You another one of these You moved to Nashville to 65 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: make it big and you did. How the last person 66 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: I interviewed who did that was Luke Colmbs and that 67 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: worked for him, it worked for you. How many people 68 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: do move to Nashville, all those people, how many actually 69 00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: make it? 70 00:02:59,480 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: How real? 71 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: That story? 72 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what the number is, but 73 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta say that, you know, out of 74 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: the people that move to Nashville, you know, and I 75 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: guess it depends on what you're what making it means. 76 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 3: You know, if if making it means you get a 77 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: record deal, then then there's probably a lot of those people. 78 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: If making it means you come in, you start writing songs, 79 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 3: and you start getting your songs cut, for a lot 80 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: of people, that's their goal. And I feel like, you know, 81 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: that's that for me. I feel like the people that 82 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: come to town trying to get a deal, that that 83 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: really get out there and you know, it really happens 84 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: for them on a on a big level. I gotta 85 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: think that that percentage is pretty small. You know, probably 86 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: maybe maybe five percent if if you're lucky. You know, 87 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: everybody comes, every artist, everybody that wants to be a 88 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: country music singer comes to Nashville. Their goal is to 89 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: get a record deal and you know, get played on 90 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: the radio and be able to go tour and do 91 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: all those things. 92 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: And the reality is it's just how hard man. 93 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: Even some of the I mean, some of the best 94 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: singers I've ever heard that have come through this town 95 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: that just for whatever reason, it didn't it didn't happen 96 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: for him, and you don't really know. 97 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: Why that is. 98 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: So it's a tough business man, and and you know, 99 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: fortunately for us, we were one of the few that 100 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: that kind of was able to break through. And now 101 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: we've been around for twenty years, so it's been a 102 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: it's been a good ride, but it's it's definitely a 103 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 3: tough business. And you know, not for the faint of heart, 104 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: for sure. 105 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: Do you believe that if you're truly gifted you will succeed? 106 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 3: I think it depends, man. I think it's the combination 107 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: of a lot of things. You know, it's you know, 108 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: I think you kind of have to be you know, obviously, 109 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: talent has to be there, you have to have that. 110 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: I think you also need a lot of a lot 111 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: of luck on your side, a lot of you know, 112 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 3: surrounding yourself with the right team, I think is really 113 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: key to that. But just because you're a great artist 114 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: and a great singer, great guitar player, whatever it is, 115 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen for you. 116 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: You know, you got to you still gotta have hit songs. 117 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: That that's kind of what moves everything is the songs 118 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: kind of make everything else go. 119 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: So you could be the best singer in the world. 120 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 3: But if you don't know how to pick a hit, 121 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 3: you know, it's just for Sometimes it just doesn't happen. 122 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: Okay, you got twenty years under your belt. Now what's 123 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: a hit today is to say what was a hit 124 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: twenty years ago? And how's that changed? And how do 125 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: you know? 126 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: I mean, I think for me personally, it's probably changed. 127 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: Just from a standpoint of when I cut my first album, 128 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: I was twenty seven, twenty six or twenty seven years old, 129 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: So obviously there's some songs that I cut on that 130 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: record that now you know, at forty eight I wouldn't cut. 131 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 2: But I think ultimately it's the same. 132 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: I mean, you want something, you know, you want a 133 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: song that says something you wanted to kind of to me, 134 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: I like to cut songs and it feels like I wrote, 135 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 3: you know, something that I wanted to write, and you know, 136 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: and it has to be melodically cool, it has to 137 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: be lyrically something that I would say, and I think 138 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 3: sonically just something that's easy on the ears that you 139 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: want to listen to over and over and over. And 140 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 3: I think, you know, it's a combination of a lot 141 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 3: of those things. For me, anyway, that's the way I 142 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: look at it, you know. And now i'm you know, 143 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: trying to cut songs that maybe, uh, I don't know, 144 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: for lack of a better term, have a little more 145 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: meat on the bone than they did when I was, 146 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: you know, a twenty six, twenty seven year old kid 147 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: coming up in the business. So but back then we 148 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: were doing songs like Hicktown. You know, it was more 149 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: fun and just trying to establish like, hey, we're country music, 150 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: but it's it's kind of in your face rock and 151 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: roll too, And it was a really fine line of 152 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: trying to let people know that that's what we did. 153 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: But then it was also we could have those songs 154 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: that had some meat on the bone like an Amberillos 155 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: guy and those kind of things too, and all that 156 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 3: was on the first record. So I think consciously, for me, 157 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 3: that was something that I wanted to do in the beginning, 158 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: and the older I've gotten, you know, you try to 159 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 3: focus more on like the you know, the the real 160 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: songs that have a great lyric and you. 161 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: Know, you feel like they're going to be around for a. 162 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: While, and some of the little tongue in cheek things 163 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: i'd stay away from a little more than I used to. 164 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: But different time in life. We're years, twenty years down 165 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: the road at this point. 166 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Does it get easier as success hits you or how to? 167 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 168 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: I think it's it's hard to get success, you know, 169 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: and I'm sure you've heard this before, but it's hard 170 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: to get that initial success. You know, you wait a 171 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: lifetime to get that, and then all of a sudden 172 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 3: it you know, at least in our case, it kind 173 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 3: of came out of nowhere. After you know, however, many years, 174 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: fifteen years, all of a sudden it came out of nowhere. 175 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: And then then you've got to kind of maintain that. 176 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: So now you got all these expectations of, oh, well, 177 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: your last album did this, and you had this many 178 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: number ones off the last album and it's sold this much. 179 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: So anything that doesn't do that on the next record 180 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: is not considered a failure. But you feel like, you know, 181 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: you're kind of losing a little bit of momentum, and 182 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 3: that's not always the case. I just think as you 183 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: get older as an art is you're not the shining 184 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: new penny anymore, you know what I mean? And you 185 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: kind of have to like find ways to reinvent yourself 186 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: a little bit. And so I think it gets a 187 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: little harder to keep the momentum going and kind of 188 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: stay on top. But but it's not it's not real 189 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: easy to get there. 190 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: And then initially either. 191 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: Way, does touring fit into this because I look at 192 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: your schedule, man, you uh, you working your ass off. 193 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I love the tour. I mean that's 194 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: why I got into the business. I love making records. 195 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: That's fun. But I do that so I can go 196 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: tour and play those on the road, and so, you know, 197 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: all the other stuff has kind of worked. The touring 198 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: side of it, to me is the fun part that 199 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: I get to go and you know, jump on stage 200 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: with my band and hang out and have fun and 201 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: you know, play for people. That's why that's why I 202 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: started doing it. That's what's fun for me. And you know, 203 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: so to me, man, as long as people are coming 204 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: out and interested in what we're doing, we're gonna go 205 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: out and keep trying to get better and you know, 206 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 3: come up with cool ways to make albums and go 207 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: out and tour and give them something that they haven't 208 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 3: seen before and that's the goal for us every year. 209 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Fantastic.
