So this is the first 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: time we've done this. Is that I was like, hey, 48 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: let's hear the work tapes of how and so I 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: have them here.

So it was me 54 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: and and Paul did Giovanni and Kevin Bard and uh 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: and and funny story they uh, I'd written with them 56 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: before and um, but they were kind of still making 57 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: trips back and forth the Nashville from l A and 58 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: uh and I had written on the day before and 59 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: it was it was midway through December. I was and 60 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: I thought it was my last rite because when they 61 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: text me before, I forgot to put it in my calendar. 62 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: And so they text me the day before and like, hey, man, 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: are we still good for tomorrow? I was like yeah. 64 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: I was like I was like ready to kick it 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: in Christmas mode, you know what I'm saying. So this 66 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: is the last rite of the year, the last rather year. 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: I didn't expect to have it. And like that morning 68 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: I woke up, I was like, I just I just 69 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 1: want to get my stuff ready and drive home see 70 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: my folks. I was like, I mean it had been 71 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: kind of a It's another quintessential writing story because like 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: people go, you know what, I didn't want to put 73 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: on the record or I was gonna go home, absolutely absolutely, 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: And and so we we showed up and Paul had 75 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: this incredible idea that was born out of some sort 76 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: of like personal experience. Um and uh and I I 77 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: don't want to speak to exactly what the situation was 78 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: or anything like that, but but it was like it 79 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: came from a real place. It was a real idea. 80 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know what, you know, I don't 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: know what this is, but like like I had this 82 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: idea of I don't know how not to love you, 83 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, and I just kind of 84 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: started singing this melody and the chorus and then it 85 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: just kind of all filled in on top of itself 86 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: and it fell out fast. Man. Here is the work tape. 87 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: So this is you singing. Yeah, this is a really 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: bad It's not really. Here's the thing. All work tapes 89 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: are bad, but only in the way of bad compared 90 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: to a studio version. Actually it's pretty phenomenal. So this 91 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: is how not to. This is Adam Hambrick singing, how 92 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: not too? This is before you pitched it anywhere? Right, Yeah, okay, 93 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: so that's a process I want to talk about too. 94 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: So here you go. This is the first time it 95 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: was recorded. But I don't know how not a bad 96 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: when a slade and mad and crying and listen on 97 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: the door back and all they stayed pretty true, Yeah, 98 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: pretty pretty true. They went up, I guess, and um 99 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: like they went up and keep shaded because because he's 100 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: is like a freaking maniac and um and yeah. So 101 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: actually I thought you were gonna play like the work tape, 102 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: work tape, like the acoustic iPhone work tape? Do we 103 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: have that one? Let's say this is so this? Um 104 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: this is like uh we actually so here's a funny 105 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: wrinkle in the story. It's like, um, I cut my 106 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: own version and we were gonna put it out as 107 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: my song. Um so, so my buddy Andrew Droberts produced it, 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: and we you know, we kind of built up this 109 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: track and and we cut my own version. We were 110 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: gonna put it out to kind of XM and Spotify 111 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: and like do all the normal like independent artists trying 112 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: to work the thing and uh and then and then 113 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: it just kind of like had this damas shape thing 114 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: kind of popped up, and I was like, man, that's 115 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: that's the best thing that can happen to me right now, 116 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: is to get get a big cut and possibly a 117 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: big single and all that stuff. And so we just 118 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: so we in faith gave it to them. Knew they 119 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: were going to do a great job with it, because 120 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: I mean, they's gonna be a tough thing though, right, Like, 121 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: you have a song, right, you love it, I'm about 122 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: to play it here. That's the fully produced version, and 123 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna put this out there like this. That's so good, dude, 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: and you're ready and then someone else to say want 125 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: the song? I mean, I know what's Santa, And I'm 126 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: friends with those guys like on a level more than 127 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: most artists. But still it's your song, And how hard 128 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: is that for you to go the song that I 129 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: cut and I it was going to really be my 130 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: artist entry into the game. I'm gonna give away now. 131 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: Well here's here's the reality where I was. So a 132 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: month before I wrote that song. Uh, actually I lost 133 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: my first pub deal. So, um, it was kind of 134 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: like it wasn't like we don't think you're good or 135 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't like one of those things. Was 136 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: just like the end of the end of the term 137 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: and the guy that had originally signed me was not 138 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: there anymore. So you didn't get renew I didn't get 139 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: renewed in my contract. And so but like even though 140 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: the writing was kind of on the wall, like I 141 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: was still at a place where like my confidence was 142 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: a little low, you know, like like I just I 143 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: needed something good to happen. You know what I'm saying. 144 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: I bet they're kicking or something right now. I mean 145 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: they've got they let you go in and you put 146 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: out a smash. Yeah, but they I mean they're they're 147 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: one of the big dogs. They got still money. There's 148 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: everybody I get paid. Yeah. But anyway, so, um, so 149 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: I was kind of inspired. I just, man, I needed 150 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: something good happen, like I was. I was and after 151 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: I after I lost that deal that next That next 152 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: year was really the best thing that could have possibly 153 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: happened to me, because I I walked away from it 154 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: and I just you and I was like, all right, 155 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop trying to outthink myself.

And 331 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: my job was flexible, um and like I could work 332 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: from here and right during the day and like work 333 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: at night and um, and so there was just a 334 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: lot of things just like lined up in this incredible way. 335 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: It was almost like I was just like swept to 336 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: Nashville because during that time when I was making trips, um, 337 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: that's when I got my first cut. It was with 338 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: with Justin. It was a duet with Justin and Randa Lambert. 339 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: As you're talking about, it's called old habits old habits 340 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: at you make any money from a cut because because 341 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: if you're in a publishing deal, oh get you doing it, 342 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: Like record sales go toward recouping your advance, and the 343 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: advance is what keeps you from having to have another job. 344 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: And so I'll explain that to people are listening. So 345 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: and on this before we talked about publishing deals because 346 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't until I started writing songs, I 347 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: didn't know what a publishing deal was. So I know 348 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: people that listen don't. I didn't, and I was already 349 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: in the music business. So let's say I moved to 350 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: Nashville and I want to get paid forty grand a 351 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: year as a publishing deal. You know, it's a tough 352 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: one to go get, but they're gonna pay me forty 353 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: tho dollars a year, and I'm gonna write all these 354 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: songs have to meet my quota of songs. And let's 355 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: just say they said you have to write ten songs. Okay, 356 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: if you write it with another person, the only counts 357 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: to half a song. If you're write it with two 358 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: other people, that only counts is a third of the song. 359 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: So by the time you're done, ten songs is really 360 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: thirty or forty songs, and they're paying you forty grand. 361 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: We'll stay here a year to write songs. By the way, 362 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: usually not that much. It's not forty grand. I just 363 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: get that number out there, right, So, so what any 364 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: money that's made up to forty grand they keep, you 365 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: gotta make that for to grand, you gonna make plus 366 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: that to get any to get paid. So that's why 367 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 1: I cut doesn't make you money, because you're not going 368 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: to make your forty grand, your hypothetical forty grand from 369 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: a cut. And and so no, that's that's that's a 370 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: that's a solid that you know that that would be 371 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: that would be a solid explanation that if you had 372 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: just asked me, I would have a hard time putting 373 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: that together in a way that would make anybody understanding 374 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: I am a professional speaker out on that. Yes, yes, 375 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: I'm told so you do this, and and obviously it's 376 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: a cut, but they get a little money. It's gonna 377 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: be exciting for you because you got a song on 378 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: a record. Now you kidding me? Like that was? That was? Man? 379 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: I thought I thought I had made it. And let 380 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: me tell you why I thought I had made it, Because, um, 381 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: I'm learning increasingly that just like being able to do 382 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: music as a career and not have to have another job, 383 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: is that is the definition of making it. In two 384 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen, because because like everybody's margins are thin. 385 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: But because I mean, I mean, like you talked about 386 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: on that because I listen to your lucleared podcast, we're 387 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: kind of talking about Spotify a little bit, just just 388 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: a little bit um but like the streaming services and 389 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: and all that stuff, Like everybody's trying to figure out 390 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: how that is gonna work. Nobody knows, right, and and 391 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: so while everybody's trying to figure out how to get paid, 392 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: everybody's like really tight fisted and trying to um, I 393 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: don't know. So so being able to do music and 394 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: not have to have another job, being able to be 395 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: creative full time and be in this business and I 396 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: have another job, I mean to me, that is essentially 397 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: the definition of making it. Everybody else who's who's buying 398 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: mansions over here there and then they're in the top. 399 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: It's the point of sleep number. I'm talking about sleep 400 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: number one second, so you've heard me talking about my 401 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: sleep number bed and how great I sleep and how 402 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: much I love my bed. My sleep number setting is thirty. 403 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: And that's the number that when I went into the 404 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: store and I laid down on the bed, they said, okay, 405 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: look at the computer screen. I look at the computer screen, 406 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: ish on my back, show my neck, show my legs, 407 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: and it shows you why you're sleeping wrong, basically because 408 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,239 Speaker 1: we're all doing something not right when we sleep. And 409 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: they suggested that thirty would be the number that we 410 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: would give you, and so that's what I did. I 411 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: never had a change it since, so my sleep number 412 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: is still the setting is still a thirty. It adjusts 413 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: on each side to your I did a level of firmness, 414 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: you comfort, your support.

So 475 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: when I heard Justin cut it, I was surprised Jess 476 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: cut it. He's so traditional sounding, and first of all, 477 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: you have to hear a song and I think, what 478 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: can I do with this song? So he's hearing your 479 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: voice and you know, all of that track and going 480 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: how can I make this me? And he could try 481 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: to make him most you can. It's still gonna sound 482 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: a little bit like how you guys made it.

I don't actually wear my Mississippi 762 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,919 Speaker 1: on my sleeve enough because because I actually did most 763 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: of my like growing up, so like from when I 764 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: was like nine eighteen, I lived in Corinth, Mississippi, and uh, 765 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: and so those people also got in my heart too. 766 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: But but Arkansas. That's where my family's originally from, and 767 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: that's where I so I spent most of my life 768 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: and so like, if I had to pick one, like 769 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: Arkansas is more home, but Mississippi.
