I guess my dad played a little 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:09.520 bit of piano. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.079 But my mom's side of the family is very musical, 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.600 like her brother was always running around the house as 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.440 a little boy with a guitar in his hands and singing. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.240 So your uncle her so yeah, my uncle. Yeah, So 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:20.400 we have music in the family. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.000 Yeah. What did that affect you to get into it 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:24.880 or was it kind of a resource once you knew 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:26.679 you love music that you could also be like, oh yeah, 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:27.960 uncle Jimmy played. 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:28.560 Yeah. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.880 Well what was cool was like, really, up until I 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.920 started singing, like, I really didn't think about my family 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.800 like musically, you know. I was like, I didn't really 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.960 use that resource until I started music, and then I 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.720 was like, oh, this is amazing. I have like some 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.720 built in mentors in my family that can kind of 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.320 help me through it. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.520 But no, it wasn't until I started. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.800 Singing at fifteen that I really kind of would go 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.560 to them with advice and stuff like that, which was 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:49.040 really cool. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.240 Did you love singing even younger than that and you 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:54.640 just thought, well, this is the thing you do for 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.080 fun and a loan. When did you start to go, 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:58.320 you know, I think I want to do this in 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.480 front of people, not as a career. I just wanted 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:01.880 to do it in front of people one time. 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.400 Yeah, well, I actually never wanted to do music as 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:04.760 a kid. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.800 I was not the type of like kid that was 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.000 running around the house like singing and playing, you know, 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.160 an instrument my whole life. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.560 My brother was tragically. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.720 Killed in a car accident when he was twenty three 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.840 and into twenty seventeen and I was fifteen, and we 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.360 were we had gone to sleep one night. I have 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.440 a sister and my parents. We were together and we 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:23.680 wake up in the middle of the night and the 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.560 police are at our door telling us that he had 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.799 been killed in a car accident. 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:27.160 And so. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.719 Life pretty drastically changed in like pretty much overnight, and 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.440 we were obviously so heartbroken and devastated. And I think 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.440 I remember having this very vivid moment when I found 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.400 out that he had been killed, that I realized that 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.560 I had to make an impact on this earth with 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.960 the time I had left, and so for me, that 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.480 was that was music. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.920 It just kind of came out of nowhere. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.279 And my parents had never heard me sing before, my 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.560 siblings had never heard me sing, and actually sang for 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.440 the first time in front of anyone at his funeral 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.640 when I was fifteen, and so kind of singing at 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.359 the funeral, really, I just remember having this feeling like 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:03.800 this is what I'm made to do. 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:04.640 This is what I'm supposed to do. 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:06.440 But up until that point, I had never seen in 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.680 front of anyone before, and I had no interest in music, 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.400 like doing it professionally. I wanted to be an astronaut. 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:12.480 I wanted to work for NASA. 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.160 Very different different Are you saying what a beautiful name 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.680 is your brother's funeral? Why that song? It's your first time? 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.920 I spoke at my mom's funeral, and I know there's 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.640 like eighty thousand different emotions pulling you in different ways. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.400 I was nervous I was going to not say something right. 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.320 I was obviously extremely distract because my mom had died. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.040 There were all these things, so I chose my words carefully, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.080 and then even then it didn't go like I thought. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.120 But when I wrote it, I felt like I had 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.520 a reason I was writing what I was writing. Why 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:44.600 did you pick that song to sing? 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.279 I think for me, it was this moment of realizing 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.800 I had to trust God in this horrible loss in 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.159 my life. Like I had a moment right after we 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.960 found out that he had been killed that I remember 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.599 thinking like, if I do not put my faith in 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.839 trust in God, I'm not going to survive this loss. 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.719 And so that song I had, that song had just 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.800 come out like maybe two or three months before he 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.359 passed away, and I had never even really listened to 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.159 it up until that day, and it just was in 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.320 my mind. It's you know, on like Instagram or something, 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:12.880 and it was in my mind. And so I just 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.520 remember like listening to it the day he passed away 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.560 and feeling like there was such a surrender in that 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.960 song of just surrendering my pain and suffering to God 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.800 and asking like, Lord, I'm I'm choosing to trust you 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.520 as hard as this says, I'm choosing to trust you 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.240 during this hard time. And I felt like it was 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.760 just like it was just like a sacrifice really for 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.919 me to the Lord, to be like I'm doing this 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.080 for you, you know, but in that he guided me 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.280 on this such you know, such a beautiful journey I've 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.520 had so far, and literally all started from that moment 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:41.880 of putting my trust in him. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.200 In that moment you chose to sing. Is just so 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.680 interesting to me if you just never wanted to be 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.719 a singer, because you could have said stuff. You could 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.799 have like, did you know you could sing? Pretty? Cause again, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.400 if you know, it's not like I want to go 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.360 to my mom's funeral and juggle on how to joke, 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:57.840 but I don't do it well enough to just be 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.880 like everybody watch. Yeah, yeah, so singinging? Why did you 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.200 think that you could go up and sing? Did you 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:04.960 have confidence in your singing voice? 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.680 No, I really, I don't know how to explain it. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.880 It was just like I just had the strength to 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.400 go do it, and it was so It was so 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.440 interesting because my sister played the piano at the funeral 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.360 and she couldn't even get through her piano performance, but 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.160 I got through. We had two funerals for him, and 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.200 I got through both of them without crying or breaking down, 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:21.920 which is another thing. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.080 I had a phrase and do that. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.680 Yeah, But I think it was just like I like 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.800 my soul knew I needed that in that moment. I 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.080 guess it's the only explanation. So singing was like healing 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.720 for me. I think it just helped me heal and 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.560 kind of put things back in perspective for me. 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.120 And yeah, it's crazy to think back. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.440 On crazy to think that that's where you went, that's 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.360 where you are now. Yeah, that was the first time 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.160 you went there, and that you didn't, you know, crack 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.679 it all while singing. I remember when I was speaking 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.480 in my mom's funeral. She died in her forties, and 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.080 I remember speaking and I lost I kind of I 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.680 started cracking yesterday crying a little bit, and I talked 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.440 for a living. But this is different because it's real, 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.960 Like this what we're doing. Here's goofy. It's fun, it's awesome, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.240 but it's you know, we go out and have our 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.560 real lives after this. And so I started like crying, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.880 and everybody in the audience. I was on a comedy show, 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.320 but everybody in the sitting in there, they started to 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.080 feel bad for me because I'm struggling through it. And 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.080 somebody left their cell phone on and it starts to 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.560 ring and it was an old song I remember as 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.640 Jim Crochy and it's like, you don't tug on suit, 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.720 and everybody started laughing, and I was right back on, 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.680 right back on, and I needed that to get through. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.800 So when you said you were able to get through it, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.080 I mean I kind of emoted out loud. I was like, oh, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.360 there's no chance. But I feel like, in the same 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.520 way that you said that, somehow you got through it, 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.439 and you know, you know, you know how you got 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.160 through it. Like I feel like, I don't even know 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.280 if I made called that phone. Maybe the thing just 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.720 started playing, and it's what kind of put me back 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:50.240 on track. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:51.000 He said. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.680 It is a very difficult thing to do, and it's 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.360 just wild to think this is that is what started 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.959 this for you, this part of your life. You'd never 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.400 want to do it again. But something has come from that. Yeah, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.200 that is that is Yeah, that is so special. My Jesus. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.720 Did it come from that situation? 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.600 Yeah, I had been writing for I moved to nashvillehen 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.120 I was seventeen, right out of high school. I well, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.040 I moved when I was I guess eighteen, but I 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:19.720 signed a record deal when I was seventeen in a 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:20.680 junior in high school. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:21.240 That quick. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.160 Yeah, it was so fast. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.320 And then my whole life just turned overnight. And then 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.160 I moved to Nashville. I graduated high school in twenty twenty, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.880 so only four years ago, which is crazy. And then 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.680 started writing songs. And at that point I had already 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.520 written like maybe one hundred and twenty songs for the record. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.559 And then I walked into a writing room one day 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.400 and I had that title in my head, and the 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.480 other two writers I had never worked with before had 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.840 the exact same song title No, never spoken Wow, And 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.320 so we were I was like, I want to write 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.360 a song about called my Jesus, about what it means 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:51.880 to have a relationship with him, and they were like, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.160 we had that exact same title too. So we wrote 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.600 the song like within maybe an hour or two, and 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.680 then we walked out that day knowing that it was 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.040 something special. But I would have never ever dreamed that 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.880 it would have done what it did and impacted the 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:03.880 people the way that it did. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.560 Do you ever sing the song that you sang at 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:08.600 your brother's funeral again? 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.400 Yeah? I actually did it on my tour that I 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:12.080 had this fall. 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.280 It was so special, it was such a special moment, 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:16.880 and I played the piano like I did at the 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.000 funeral and everything. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:18.440 And it was really cool. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.760 When did you start to learn music, because again, if 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.200 you're just singing for the first time at fifteen, did 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.560 you already have any piano background at all? 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.079 Yeah, my mom forced us to take piano lessons as kids, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.880 so we all three took piano, and I had been 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.120 playing since I was like five or six, so I'd 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.240 had kind of that background kind of going into it. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.040 So I was able to play the piano at the funeral. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.720 And then as i've now, you know, become an artist 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.760 and everything, it's helped a lot. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.679 Just having that background. It was almost like it was. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.520 Always meant to be and I just had. I just 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:42.280 didn't realize it. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.959 You know, what did you not expect about being an artist? 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.000 Because now you're having to do a lot of stuff 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.840 that you don't see whenever you see the people being 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.400 interviewed or like, what's been the biggest surprise about what 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.600 you have to do as an artist that isn't out front? 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.960 You know, I think I I just didn't realize how 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.240 much hard work it was, you know, like the sacrifice 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.720 the artists have to make, leaving their families, going on 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:11.199 the road all the time, sacrificing things that most people 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.400 don't have to, you know, But the reward is so 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.160 great because for me, it's like getting to see how 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.000 my songs like specifically impact people's lives is really what 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.680 keeps me going and what drives me to continue on 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.960 because I think music is so powerful and it has 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:29.360 the opportunity to literally change someone's life, and so's that's 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.080 a really special thing that kind of makes it worth it. 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.680 But definitely, like the travel and the sacrifice, I didn't 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.079 realize was it at. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:39.680 All the album Rebel that's out in April. How is 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.880 it different than the other work that you've put out 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.400 just from looking because I haven't heard the whole thing yet, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.520 but would you have recorded like songs about whiskey on 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:50.840 a Christian Yeah? 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.199 Yeah, it's so interesting. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.080 Like this record for me was really healing to write 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.120 because of my brother and everything. And like the last 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.800 record MYI G's, this record was a lot about my 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.400 brother Jacob and our memories together and this record was 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.079 really just like a new chapter, you know, just a 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.200 new season, and so it was really healing for me 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.640 with my brother to write it, and just kind of 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.520 felt like I kind of healed and moved on a 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.600 little bit with it. But no, like these songs just 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.760 it's so authentically me, which is so interesting. I feel 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.560 like people are kind of wondering, like are you leaving 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.200 Christian music or are you going to country music? 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:23.440 Whatever. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.480 It's like it's just an extension of who I am, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.320 just in a different way than the last record, if 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.080 that makes sense. Like the last record was, you know, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:35.760 country sounding but heavily Christian message. This record is still 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.040 my faith based message, but with a little bit more 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.040 country added to it. Just my roots, kind of going 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.040 back to where I came from and the things that 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.440 you know, make me come alive. And so yeah, like 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.760 songs about whiskey, it's just like I love that song 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.320 because I think people are going to see that title, 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.800 but then they're going to realize it has such. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.120 An interesting twist to it. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.400 But yeah, the record is I'm so excited about it 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.439 and I can't wait for it to come out. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.400 Know you and Chris Tomlin did a song together, and 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.240 I know Chris a little bit, love them. He's like 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.000 the gratitude ever. 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.400 Yeah, he's so sweet, And. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.720 I asked him if he's held to an unfair standard 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.800 where people think that like he's closer to Jesus than 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.240 they are because he's always preached, and they have this 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.320 expectation that he needs to be perfect all the time, 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.080 and he's like, yeah, it's a real thing, like because 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:16.720 he's not. He's like, I'm very flawed. Everything I do 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.400 is just like anything that you do. Yeah, And do 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.640 you ever experience that where you feel like you can't 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.959 actually have or show and present a normal life because 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.760 of what the expectation is as a Christian artist in 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:29.720 the work that you've done in the past. 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.600 Yeah, there's definitely an expectation there. I think some people 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.160 don't like to talk about it, but I think it's 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.480 just I always just liked, like when fans come up 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.439 and they're like, you know, you've saved my life, I 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.119 always like to just be like, well. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:42.240 I really didn't, you know. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:43.920 I just kind of like to remind them of like 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.200 where that's coming from, that it's not me, but it's 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.719 the Lord. And I think people just, yeah, I think 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.480 they do have an expectation of that. We somehow, as 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.600 Christian artists that are on stage are holier than everybody else, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:56.880 which is not true at all. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:57.640 We're all the same. 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.120 So you ever say a bad word? 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.880 Yeah, I don't know. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.360 Please, okay, I'm just asking, just asking. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.760 I would love for you to sing for our audience. Yeah, 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.760 would you do God and Country? I think that would 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:12.120 be a fun one. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.880 Yes, introduce you guys here absolutely. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.559 This is Chris and Andy. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:16.400 Guys, they're the best. 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.000 Good to see you, guys. You're vote, you're like, you 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.080 know what. Sometimes in a like a singing group if 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.000 they have or a duo, they're like dressed the same, 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.160 but they're absolutely opposite. It's like the clean cut guy, 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.320 but like his opposite, like he's got long hair, but 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.680 they look kind of the same, the same colors. Like 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.920 it's like if Destiny's child, you guys would be that. Yeah, maright, 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.480 here's Ann Wilson and this is God and Country. Great job, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.880 okay 'letna say this. The album The Whole Project comes 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.520 at April nineteenth. Rain in the review is the single 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:51.920 which you guys are playing a second if i'd be 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.400 playing now, we'll come back with Ann Wilson. Are you're 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:56.400 not related to lady right? 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:57.080 No? 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.000 If people ever ask you that, do you know? Wilson's 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.160 also a pretty common name. But are you like Brian Wilson. Now, 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.240 none of that, Okay, all right, Ann Wilson is here. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.360 We'll come back with her next. 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:10.760 On the Bobby Bones Show. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.720 Now. And I think it's the perfect time for you 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.120 to exist in the musical space. And I'll tell you why. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.840 It's only recently, in the last couple of years that 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.920 you've been able to see artists do multiple and be 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.960 in multiple places and it be accepted. Meaning and you're 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.360 not the same, although very very similar, you and jelly Roll, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.760 meaning I'm kidding, you're not like jelly Roll, but you know, 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.440 jelly Roll is a guy who can He's still relevant 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.560 in the hip hop space, but he also can do country. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.840 And nobody's fighting to be like you're this or you're that. Yeah, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.080 and you are an extremely gifted country artist, and you 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.480 are a proven Christian artist. And I think it's a 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.680 great time for you to exist because you can exist 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.000 in both spaces. And I know I have friends that 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.880 are prominent in the Christian space, and for them, for 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.320 a long time, slightly less now it was almost like 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:00.920 a terf or where people would be like, you can't 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.760
