I mean he's maybe 169 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: fifty four, and you're talking about a dad with kids 170 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: that are probably getting ready to go to college. Okay, 171 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: And how about Anthony keatings Hot Chili Peppers doing they 172 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: have a new record, It's listens a top five. I mean, 173 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: they're from our childhood. But the rock world, there's not 174 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: a lot there. I'm sure there's a lot of bands, 175 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: but that that format doesn't really put up superstars right now. 176 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: The occasional Anthony Keats is fifty eight, and he's so 177 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: ripped and it looks good. I don't know if he 178 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: still is he's got to be, or if it's like 179 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Tipping thing where he always just is even if 180 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: he's not a tipping so ripped. Did you guys ever 181 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: see that video of of the Chili Peppers playing somebody's 182 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: kids elementary school? No? No, this happened like maybe four three, 183 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: three or four years ago. I think it was Chad Smith, 184 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: the drummer, his kid at the principal asked like, hey, 185 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: what the band come play or whatever the auditorium and they, 186 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean it was a Chili Peppers set like the 187 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: kids school. I mean, Anthony Keatons was jumping up and 188 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: down the rock in his head and Chad Smith was 189 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: just going crazy in the drums. Fleet was doing this thing. 190 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: They did not hold back, and all these kids are 191 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: just like, Okay, see, I don't know what this is. 192 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: That would be like us as kids and Ario Speedwagon 193 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: shows up and we don't really know because we're too 194 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: young to even like that music. We know our parents 195 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: like that, and we're like, huh. I just feel like 196 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: if someone's gonna play at school like that, they would 197 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: be like all right, children, not then, and they're like, 198 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: I gotta Google that coming up, we'll talk to Diana Carter. 199 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna hit this real quick. On the other side 200 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: of this, songs meant for other artists, which is the 201 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: music topic we'll talk about here, Songs that were made 202 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: for other artists and didn't then somebody else cut and 203 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: Kevin big hit. So we'll talk about that coming up. 204 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: If I want to talk about country hits that were 205 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: meant for other artists. Now, I saw this article on 206 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: the boot, pretty fascinating article. Some of these have heard of, 207 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: and I've even talked to some of these artists about it. 208 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: But some of these blew my mind too, because sometimes 209 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: there's an artist or a manager who says it's probably 210 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: not for you, and then they don't cut it, and 211 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't for them, Maybe it wouldn't have been 212 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: a big smash for that artist, and then someone else 213 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: gets it and it goes on to be a big success. 214 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: So it's just hard to imagine some of these songs 215 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: that are so defined by the person singing them being 216 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: as memorable within it. But but I'm sure some of 217 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: them would have been. So let's talk about the stories 218 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: behind some of these songs, and then would it have 219 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: worked with the other artists. I mean, this is almost 220 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: the same argument as an actor that turned down Yeah, 221 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: and then we saw the movie. We're like, no way. 222 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: Tom Hanks couldn't play Tom Cruise in that movie, but 223 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: he could. Here. You go up first, Johnny Cash, take 224 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: Me Home Country Roads? All right. This song was originally 225 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: intended for Johnny Cash. The song's co writers Bill dan 226 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: Off and Taffy Niver intended to sell it to Cash, 227 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: but when John Denver heard it, it was like, I 228 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: gotta have this song. They all worked together to rework 229 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: the lyrics and it eventually became then Verse signature song, 230 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: Let's try it. I mean, it sounds weird, but I'm 231 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: sure you would have made it work. This song, though, 232 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: makes with Johnny. Again, this is all speculative, so I'm 233 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: not right. There's no way. There's no right or wrong here. 234 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna saying, pretty dumb, I don't think it 235 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: would have worked for Johnny Cash because I don't think 236 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: this song is a It would have worked fine, But 237 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying I don't think we had been as big 238 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: of a hit because he had so many hits that 239 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: I think it was just falling into the context of 240 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: Johnny Cash, because there was nothing that screamed Johnny Cash 241 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: in this song except just another good song. John Denver 242 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: this song, he made it about him. So I think 243 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: it worked for John Denver because it was John representing 244 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people singing about his life, where with 245 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: Johnny he sings a lot about that all. I just 246 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: don't think it would have been the same good point, 247 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. You're just saying it probably wouldn't have been 248 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: as big as it was for John Denver for Johnny Cash. 249 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: It wouldn't I have been as impactful on Johnny as 250 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: it was for John River because Johnny had a on 251 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: a hit, But it still would have been a jam 252 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: tell you Me Home? You know, June you take this last? 253 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: So Diamond Rio had this song unbelievable. Oh, this song 254 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: was meant for George Jones. I hear it right, don't 255 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: you hear? Um? What's the car one? Who's like earn uh? 256 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: The George Jones car one? What's it called? That's not 257 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: hot Rod Lincoln. I'm drawing a blank, but I don't 258 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: know it's it kind of sounds like this, Yeah, I 259 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: don't know, you don't know what I'm talking about. I 260 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: hear no this. I can totally hear George Jones doing this. 261 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: That's an odd one. Okay, here we go. Do you 262 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: find the song like he's talking about? Yeah, I don't know. 263 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about. Dirk's Bentley has 264 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: four one he was gonna get Whiskey Lullaby. Oh wow, 265 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: would be good. This is one of my favorite country 266 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: song of all time. And finally drink away, drink a beer, 267 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: which is Luke what's per sable? Then watching airplanes watching 268 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: and I Drive your truck Lebryan. Now think about this 269 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: for a second.

Does he have 271 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: a song that's as big, like as as any of 272 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: those four that's his long lasting and saying riser what 273 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: was I thinking? Yeah, I would have I would have gone, Um, 274 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that he does. I'm just throwing out 275 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: the big hits here, because Whiskey Lullaby is a massive 276 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: twenty five years song I Drive Your Truck one the 277 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: CMA for Song of the Year. Maybe he maybe he 278 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: is up there with watching airplanes to drink a beer. 279 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, I mean and I even he's such 280 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: a deep all his songs are deep, you know. I 281 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: was listening to one of the way here, like it's 282 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: it's just it's not your regular country song where it's like, 283 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, just to tell I'm telling you a story. 284 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: It's always like I saw a tree and it reminded 285 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: me of this, like you know, it was always like 286 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: a little one level deeper, and that's kind of what, 287 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: um what what's the first song you said, Whiskey La 288 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: by Is. I mean, that's a deep, deep song. And 289 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: then the last one, I drive your Truck to Me. 290 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: I think those are the two that he would He 291 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: would have done really good with the two in the middle, 292 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: though I don't really see Dirk's doing that. I wonder 293 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: if he'd made it a duet. Whiskey which was a 294 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: big deal and Alixe Cross is freaking awesome. Brad Paisley 295 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: and Alice Cross had that one before the two recorded 296 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: it the song staff for three years. Dirk's listened to 297 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: it but decided to pass on it because he never 298 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: heard it as a duet. Via the Boot Chris Stapleton 299 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: and Jim Beavers, who've done a podcast with is a 300 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: friend of ours who yeah, has written a bunch raging 301 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: idiots stuff with us. Yeah. He also also wrote but 302 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: he wrote drink a Beer Beer, and the song was 303 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: pitched at Dirk Spentley. He turned down the track, which 304 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: was big for Luke Bryan. Derek Spenley almost took Watching 305 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: Airplanes a song was written by Jim Beavers and ultimately 306 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: went to Gary Allen. Gary Ellen is probably glad he 307 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: got it because it's a big hit for him and 308 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: Lee Bryce's I Drive Your Truck was another song that 309 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: almost went to Dirk's. He first revealed during an intimate 310 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: concert that he almost recorded it himself. So drink of 311 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: Beer when that came out, I remember Luke had a 312 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: story with that, you know, like his brother had just passed, 313 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: so I mean there was definitely a story to attach 314 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: Luke to it. So now I can't even hear drink 315 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: of Beer without even thinking about Luke and his what 316 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: he was going through at that time. I wonder if 317 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: these artists like a Lee Brice, who did I Drive 318 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: Your Truck? I wonder if it's like, okay, Derek, stop 319 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: saying you passed on it, Like stop saying that you 320 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: were offered it first, because that makes me not seem 321 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: like I was offered it for you. I wonder because 322 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure Derek's Dark's a big star. The big songs 323 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: go to him first, and then it trickles down. Yeah, 324 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: but I think people have to realize that's just the 325 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: business of it. You know. This happens all the time 326 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: where someone even cuts it and reserves it and won't 327 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: let anyone else use it, and then they don't. You 328 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: end up using it, and then it gets lost for 329 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: a little bit and somebody says, hey, whatever happened in 330 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 1: that song that so's Oh, it's still there. You can 331 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: do it now, you know, Like there's so many stories 332 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: like that where I think everyone's just used to that now. 333 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: Jac Owen was pitched this song Big Green Tractor, which 334 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: is Jason a Dean song, but ended up turning it down. 335 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: The song was a big hit for al Dean and 336 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: then She's Got Away with Words. Here you go. Blake 337 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: Shelton recorded this one Jacob and liked a song but 338 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: decided to record it. Didn't didn't record it for a 339 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: good reason, he goes. He said, that's a really cool song, 340 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: well written, but if I record this song, I'm taking 341 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: it literally, and I don't want my ex to perceive 342 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: that I did that to her. It's interesting because we 343 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: all went I was talking about Miranda Araya. He didn't 344 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: write it again, very fitting at the time, and that's 345 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: does I have a lot to do with picking songs 346 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: these artists, yes, can they also tell a story how 347 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: it relates to them, so they're just not going Yeah, 348 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: heard it, thought I had a good, good catchy horse 349 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: and I recorded it right, which would be the story 350 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: for most of them. But if you do find a 351 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: good catchy course you have to make up some story. 352 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: Like the first time I heard it reminded me of 353 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: n was out on this farm and a donkey came up, 354 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: So you just have to you have to create something. 355 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: Then Frankie Ballard was pitched Hillbilly bone. What you may 356 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: know right here down be sad no matter where you're wrong. 357 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: He just came. I didn't win up my stars, but 358 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: he might be kicking himself on this one. That's a 359 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: big hit. But I wonder though, because this is Trey 360 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: Satkins like Shelter. I wonder though part of this hit 361 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: was that it was big stars doing it singing about 362 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: something a bit trivial. Funny. I think if a new 363 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: artist is doing it, people just go who is this 364 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: guy and what is he singing about? A bone or 365 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: for I think there was some credence with them singing 366 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: its Tim McGraw and T Shirt, which is a Thomas 367 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: rhtt song. Here you go now Tom Shot wrote the song. Yeah, 368 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: he said Tim McGraw had it on hold for a 369 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: long time so he couldn't put on his first record. 370 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: Once he let it go, I latched that thing down 371 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: and put it on my second record. Yeah. Now this 372 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: is one where I hear and I'm like, na, Tim 373 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: couldn't pull this one off. I don't know, man, Tim's 374 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: able to pull off some some stuff that you don't 375 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: think you can. Again, it's one of those things where, 376 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: like Tim's older, he's a legend in our eyes. He 377 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: comes out with a song called T Shirt You were 378 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: my T Shirt like brought You Home from the Bar, 379 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: Guns and Roses video, we'd be like Tim, come on, 380 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: But I think his song now, that's that which Keith 381 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: Urban does that with Pink right now, and sometimes they 382 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: do do that. But I just feel like Tim's got 383 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: some more songs that are more his age appropriate. Now 384 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: here's an interesting story carry under What Shows Jesus Take 385 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: the Will as her debut single after winning American Idol, 386 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: But according to Wide Open Country, it was originally pitched 387 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: to Sarah Evans, who didn't like that stupid song. Wow, 388 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: that's a quote. That's pretty lucky for Underwood, who used 389 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: it to kick start her career. Massive song massive. I 390 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: can hear Sarah and singing this too. Lady Annabelleum better 391 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: Dick two, which was a Band Perry song. They passed 392 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: on the upbeat but dark song which became a huge 393 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: hit for the band Perry. They could have done this 394 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: for sure. Props to these bands and artists. Man, they've 395 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: really established a sound for themselves where we can hear 396 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: a song and say, hey, I can see them doing that, 397 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: because it sounds like Lady Annabellum could totally do this song. 398 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: Jason Aldean almost did Drunk on You, which is a 399 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: Luke Bryan song. He liked a song, but he was 400 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: looking for something different the day he heard it, so 401 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: he shoved it aside. It was a win for Luke 402 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: in every possible way. Didn't Luke write that too? Luke 403 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: wrote it. I was pitching it out. Jason didn't want 404 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: it much like the Thomas situation. Said, Jason didn't lock 405 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: it down. He was like, Okay, if you're not recorded, 406 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: I'll record it massive. Maybe his first hit, uh, there 407 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: was the Flyover States. That's Jason Aldean. I'm talking. I'm 408 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: talking about Luke and Jason's first hit was not Flyover States. 409 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't think we can go back to first hit, 410 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: which I'm interested, I would bet. Let me think about 411 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: this because it's basically I think, um, Big Green Tractor 412 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: was this first number one? Do you think I think 413 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: you're probably right Luke's was? Do I okay, alright, good, 414 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: that's right? That sounds right? Is another sound song that 415 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: kind of that tempo. Do you think if Luke, if 416 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: if al Deane would cut a song like this? Though 417 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: we may not, we may not have had the al 418 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: Dean because I mean that's around the time when al 419 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: Dean did get harder and it changed it sound a 420 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: little bit before he was very easy listening compared to 421 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: what he does now. Al Dean had a number ten 422 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: with Hicktown. But why was his first number one? Really? 423 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: And then Amarilla Sky was his third? What was number two? 424 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: There you go? Flowers dates hit me Mike number two yeah, 425 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: he said one in three yeah, Hicktown ye, and Amarilla 426 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: Skuy his first three. Oh why we both sucked and 427 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: I was very good and a fan club Florida, Georgia. 428 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: I'm burning it Down. When they finished co writing Burning 429 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: it Down, they knew it was gonna be a hit, 430 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: and as the now dean, they both they wrote it 431 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: and then it went to somebody else because it wasn't 432 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: in the timing of them making music for themselves. Miranda 433 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: Lambert in Downtown, which is lady Anabellum song here. Miranda 434 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: Lambert had DIBs on this song. Lambert quote very very 435 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: selflessly said, let lady A have it. Wow. Yeah, because 436 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: again this can totally sound like a Miranda song. Martina 437 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: McBride had Independence Day message hit. What artists do you 438 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: think could have pulled this off around the same time frame? 439 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: Tricia faith faith Hill, Yeah, she could have the answer. 440 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward Reebing McIntyre for sure. So Martina McBride 441 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: Cotton Flag for the music video of this song, which 442 00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: it was a great music video. Um. But Reba McIntyre, well, like, 443 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna do this, um. But she 444 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: had it was gonna cut it. You know, we have 445 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: to remember these decisions are tough for these artists, like 446 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: they probably how many times do you think they listen 447 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: to this long before they say should I do this? 448 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Should I, shouldn't I? Or did they just go that 449 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: song sucks? There's so many songs. Yeah, I would imagine 450 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 1: it's much like when you listen to an album from 451 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: an artist that is new to you and you kind 452 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: of like you're just pop it through songs, and there's 453 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: probably a couple songs you passed up prettyquickly that end 454 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: up later on and you go back to us, like, 455 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: it has a great song, Why did I go over 456 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: so quickly? Yeah? I would think the majority are like that. 457 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: But there's got to be something that you know, have 458 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: been floating around, like so and so I thought about 459 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: using it, so and so thought about using it, and like, well, 460 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: there's a reason there's a lot of people listening to 461 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: this song. A Little Big Town almost cut American Kids 462 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: that Kenny Chesney cut Jesus, Sammy Jane Baby, A Little 463 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: Big Town had it on Hold Kenny Chesney, I believe 464 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: he told the story on this podcast. Shane d j McNally. 465 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: He was on a plane with Kenny and he had 466 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of songs and this one. He played this 467 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: one and he's like, man, I want that song. He's like, 468 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: I can't. A little big town has it? They called him? 469 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: Is that Can I have that song? And they were like, yeah, 470 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: the power of Kenny? Yeah. He told us a story 471 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: about how Kenny found it. Maybe either he played a 472 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: form and there was an email situation, it was on 473 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 1: his computer and then that was it. If you want 474 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: to go back and hear that with Shane mcinally he 475 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: episode forty five amazing way back in so and now 476 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: he's on song Land and that's kind of done, done 477 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: his thing there. All right, there you go anything you'd 478 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: like to say, Boy, that's just great. I mean again, 479 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: great job by all these like A and R people 480 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: record labels and artists to just distinguish themselves, because you 481 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: can definitely hear the sound of an artist in a 482 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: lot of these songs. That's pretty cool to me. Do 483 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: you want to do before we go? Uh? Flashback Friday? 484 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 1: Music wise?

You know, you could get a lot for 545 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: twenty grand or something when we were broken waiting tables 546 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: and going twenty thousand dollars. You know, you're talking about 547 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: waiting tables. Did did you ever bartend before you became 548 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: a country music star? I did. What was that like 549 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: for you? Well, honestly, I loved it because I was 550 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: studying to be a rehab therapist, rehabilitation therapists for stroke 551 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: and head injury patients. That's what I got my degree 552 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: in at you t And when I would bartend, you know, 553 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: you have your regulars that would come in, and a 554 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: lot of the times in the afternoon, you'd have a 555 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: lot of older people that would come in, usually gentlemen, 556 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: that would come in and just pour their heart out 557 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: to you, like what's going on in their life. Then 558 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: bartending to me was um, it was always more about 559 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: the relationships. And you knew what everybody's favorite beverage was. 560 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: You know, they'd walk in and you could start making 561 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: it for him. It just made them feel cared for 562 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: and heard. And I know it sounds kind of silly, 563 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: but it was a coveted job for me because I 564 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: really loved the people. It wasn't about the Booze. I 565 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: mean we had a great time, obviously, but it was 566 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: really about getting miss in that time with people and 567 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: just hear their most intimate feelings about life and what 568 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: they're going through, and um taking care of them. I 569 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: loved it. Were you performing at all while you were 570 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: attending bar? I wasn't. I was just in like a sorority. 571 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: We would do, you know, me theater things and just 572 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: whatever we get on campus. And I've seen here and there, 573 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: but nothing really pursued at the time, just kind of 574 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: meddling around in it and getting my toes in the waters. Um. 575 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: But when I was touring, my first big tour was 576 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: Alan Jackson and you know, Strawberry Wine written and everything. 577 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: I went back to Potties, which was one of the 578 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: little places I barked into in Knoxville, and I barked 579 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: in it. After the gig, we played them the arena 580 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: and I went back to Totties and got behind the bar, 581 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: and I was like working like normal. It was awesome. 582 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: So You're going to school your tending bar with the 583 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: goal to become like a rehab specialist. Was it was? It? 584 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: Never in your mind at that point that country stardom 585 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: awaited you, I honestly felt like I didn't know it 586 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: would be in country music for sure, but I knew 587 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: in my heart that I had some kind of calling 588 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: and entertainment, and honestly, I thought it was gonna be 589 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: like television or acting or something because I had done 590 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot of that in high school and in my 591 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: college years that we did, like I said, the musicals really, 592 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: but there were some plays that I did that um 593 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: just kind of set the tone. And then when I 594 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: graduated from college, there was a show that never got 595 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: picked up, but it was like a Thurday Night Live 596 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: type thing. It was a local Nashville variety show, comedy 597 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: show like SNL and it was called Checkmate and please 598 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: don't go find it because it's pretty ad. But I 599 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: got cast in that show. So to answer a question, 600 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: I just felt like it was more gonna be like 601 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: on television more so than in country music. And I 602 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: just wrote songs really about the relationships I was going 603 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: through at the time and what I was experiencing in 604 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: this little journey of trying to figure out which path 605 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: to take and who I was, and that's when the 606 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: music started taking over. So when was it then for 607 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: you that you dedicated, because again, it is quite the 608 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: dedicated thing to do to go, I'm going to be 609 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: a singer songwriter, I'm going to tour. I'm like, this 610 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: is going to be my life and I'm gonna be broke. 611 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: Like when was that for you? Probably I had that 612 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: feeling in college that was a good precursor to this 613 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: struggling artist thing because I paid my way through school, 614 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: so you know, I had to work really hard to 615 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: pay off my foliage. I've worked at painting salons and 616 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: TCB wide, worked pip service for lawyers, and all the 617 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: parts store on Second Avenue and like anywhere I could 618 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: get a job. So the struggle for me was real, 619 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: like just in the real life world of trying to 620 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: be responsible and not put a financial burden on my 621 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: family and working hard to make sure I was, you know, 622 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: stepping up into my part. And that transferred over into 623 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: the struggle of like not getting discouraged when people would 624 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: I'd wait outline. I did the Bluebird thing where you 625 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: waited in the snow, you know, for an hour and 626 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: a half to get in to have an audition to 627 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: be at the Bluebird, and um, I don't know, it's 628 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: just kind of how God's always mapped it out for 629 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: me that, you know, one foot in front of the other. 630 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: Each step that I've taken has kind of prepared me 631 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: for the next step. So I've just been trusting of that. 632 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: And when you quit taking the steps is the problem, 633 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: you know. So we're gonna talk about in a second. 634 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to it here about anniversary of Strawberry Wine, 635 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: but I want to talk a little bit about leading 636 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: up to that. So you're, you know, doing what most 637 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: new artists do, and you're playing a song right around 638 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: your meeting people. Was there anyone, i'll call it in 639 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 1: your class that was coming up the same time you were, 640 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: and you guys hadn't hit it yet, but you look 641 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: back and go, yeah, I knew so and so when 642 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: they were just a songwriter before they had a hit 643 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: or two. Oh yes, for sure. Kenny Chaisney, I met 644 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: him at Tom Collins Music on six when we were 645 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: It's where the like the big White Word Music building 646 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: is now. But there was an old Annabellum house there 647 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: on that corner, and it had a very small parking 648 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: lot in the back, and so we would all just 649 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: spark in there and put your seas in a basket, 650 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: so that if you had to move a car or whatever, 651 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. And and he was blossed me 652 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: in and I was like, who's driving that. I can't 653 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: remember what part it was, but I had a white 654 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: Honda and I'm like, I need somebody to move.

And 657 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 1: we were just baby songwriters. This was probably nineties one 658 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: or two somewhere in there. Um. So he was one 659 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: and Mila Mason, she came out in the nineties. She 660 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 1: was that.

And he 668 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: and I were writing and producing these alternative songs. You know, 669 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: it's trying to be like Atlantis Morris set with sort 670 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: of a Southern Twist tour. And of so, I've known 671 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: Jake for eons and eons um and just Doug Lancia 672 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: was with us in that deal.

Hello Grimey, 674 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: I've known Mike Grimey. He was in that group, all 675 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: of us running around together, you know. So it wasn't 676 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 1: just the artist, it was the community that I came 677 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: up in that now everybody's having a lot of success 678 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: and it's so awesome to see. It's wonderful. What stage 679 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: while you were kind of cutting your teeth, did you 680 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: hear strawberry wine? It was I had done a full 681 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: record with Jimmy Bowen full did I saved my legs 682 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: for this album and we had um. I mean, it 683 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: was a full deal. It was more orchestrated. It was 684 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: very lush, and he brought in David Campbell to do 685 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: all the strings for the album and his dad. It's 686 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: such a cool little recollection of all this. Thank you 687 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: for taking the time. But Bowen as me, he said 688 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: how many strings? He was on the phone with David 689 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: Campbell and he said, how many strings do you want 690 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: on this record? And he's looking at me, and I said, um, 691 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: like all of them. And so they brought the whole 692 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: National Symphony in and they laugh had to be laugh 693 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: about that, and we sat an Emerald sound and and 694 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: did this. Did I shamulate for this record? And I 695 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: asked if I could go overseas and tour first, because 696 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 1: I didn't I knew being from Nashville it could be brutal. 697 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,919 Speaker 1: And I just wanted to have like a total queen 698 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: slate and get all the chinks out and and work 699 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: my live show and all that. So they said yes, 700 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: and I flew over to London, mastered the record and 701 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: did a full tour with UM Jimmy Nail, who's an actor, UM, 702 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 1: with a British band. I've had my guitar and that 703 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: was it. A flew in and had a British tour 704 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: manager and you know, hold all Brits in my band. 705 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: It was awesome flew back, but would have been fired 706 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: and uh we were in limbo for a little while 707 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: label so we we're gonna Scott Hendrix took over. We 708 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: re recorded half of that record that I co produced 709 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: with Bowen and UM. We brought in Chris Farren to 710 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: help finish some new songs, and that's when I brought 711 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: in Strawberry Wine and we danced anyway while they came 712 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: at the very very end of a recute. So we 713 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: kept the first path of Chase that I did with 714 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: Bowen and we just remixed it. Steve marc Antonio was 715 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: an engineer. We came in and added a few things, 716 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: but we kept the strings and stuff that would count 717 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: me in. UM. How I could go through the list, 718 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: but it was once it was I've loved enough to 719 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,760 Speaker 1: count me in Chase. UM. That's how you know it's love. 720 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: And there was one other one I can't remember right now, 721 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: but I love it worth making. That was an original. 722 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,479 Speaker 1: We brought in Barren and s is the last half 723 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: and I co produced all of that, and that's when 724 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,759 Speaker 1: girls didn't get credit. Um. But I worked hard on 725 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,479 Speaker 1: it and he we all did. It was a team 726 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 1: effort to get that record out and after about five 727 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: years it finally saw the light of day as we 728 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,240 Speaker 1: know it now. The whole process was five years long, roughly. 729 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: I think I was find originally in ninety three, two 730 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 1: or three, so I was a development artist for two 731 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,320 Speaker 1: or three years, and then it was record go tour, comeback, 732 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 1: re records, and release. So yeah, it was a long 733 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: long road. I was like, the first single was strawberry Wine. Yes, 734 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 1: the first thingle was related to me I've loved enough 735 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: to Know and we had done the whole video and 736 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: everything for it, and I gotta I was doing Strawberry 737 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: Wine on my guitar and all the radio or and 738 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: we were doing you know, promo, and the phones were 739 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: like nu back then. Everybody was calling in like what 740 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:10,399 Speaker 1: is that song? We want to hear that again? And um, 741 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: I guess the regional started calling the label and saying 742 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: that the you know, fans were responding to Strawberry Wine 743 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: more than I've loved enough to Know. So they changed 744 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: this single and time for a new release, did a 745 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: new video and everything like because the people were screaming 746 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: for Strawberry Wine and they listened and they did it. 747 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: Scott Hinder, it did a great job of turning all 748 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 1: that around. When was it for you that you realize 749 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 1: this was going to be not just a hit because 750 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: that's a that's a building process, but just a massive 751 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: song that pretty much everybody knew. Was there a moment 752 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: where you're like, oh, this thing is a lot bigger 753 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: than I had than I had expected it. Well, the 754 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: thing about that it was, yes, I would say the 755 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 1: arenas that was when it was really hitting home. And 756 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: Alan Jack was such a sweetheart to take us out. 757 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 1: For two years we were out with him pretty much 758 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: and that made a big impact on the exposure. UM 759 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: the video was big deal with CMT and everything, and 760 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: UM doing a lot of television my management at the time. 761 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 1: I was one of the first artists to do Letterman 762 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: numerous times in Leno and all the morning shows and 763 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: all these things, because there weren't a lot of country 764 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: artists period, but much less a new artist that was 765 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,560 Speaker 1: given those opportunities. So it was sort of the as 766 00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: a lined up across the board and just the most 767 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: awareness it was when the lighters started going up to 768 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: these arenas. That's when I was like, what and and 769 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: they weren't just singing strawberry wine. They were singing the 770 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: record like because you know, we say strawberry wine at 771 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 1: the end, and they would when we'd come out. They 772 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: were singing the whole thing, like every song that wasn't 773 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: a single yet, and that was just like, what in 774 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 1: the world has happening? But I still do this day. 775 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,800 Speaker 1: Never dreamed, and I'll be honest that it would have 776 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,359 Speaker 1: the longevity that it's had, and just you know, it's 777 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: in recurrent radio and it's like become this country. It's 778 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: place to free the Stairway to Heaven or free birders. 779 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: So it's like just anthem for country music that I 780 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: still am blown away that I got to participate in 781 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: and be a part of because I know that that 782 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: is a very hard thing to do, and you know, 783 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: it took us a village to make it happen. And 784 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: just such talent. The writer's traces, the Burgan, Gary Harrison 785 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: were so talented, and they told my story, they told 786 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: the world story, and I was just honored to be 787 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: able to put my spin on it and put my 788 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: heart behind it because I lived it too. It's got 789 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: to be pretty cool that even today's young superstars are 790 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: still singing it. For example, Samhank came in a few 791 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago and I was like, hey, you can cover 792 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: whatever you want and he's saying strawberry wine. Like that's 793 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 1: got to be pretty cool to see it continuing to 794 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: inspire folks. It is amazing and now it do not 795 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,480 Speaker 1: take it for granted. I'm so thankful for that and 796 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: all the YouTube videos, you know, all the sweet people 797 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: and talented people that are out there putting it on 798 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: their platforms and things too.

And you know, 825 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the inspiration with me living in California 826 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: at the time, the lyrics, and it's got like this 827 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: Tracy Chapman kind of drone e guitar part in the beginning, 828 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: and it's just really about not being able to shake 829 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 1: someone and you're in this beautiful environment, it's still really 830 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: you're still affected by the person, just like truthfully, toe 831 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,920 Speaker 1: Seela stayed in my blood like for three days. It's 832 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: like a drug. So I try to avoid it if 833 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: I can, but um, and we just put a lot 834 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 1: of truth in that, and we're doing it for my record, 835 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: not thinking a whole lot of it, and my record 836 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: didn't do a whole lot, and but Kenny took it 837 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: and made it dis great, amazing hit, and he told 838 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: me that it was. You know, he was going through 839 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,560 Speaker 1: a breakup at the time, and it just he would 840 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 1: play that song over and over driving up down the 841 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,200 Speaker 1: Hall and in Malibu and it meant a lot to me. 842 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 1: Matresa had done a male version of it for demo 843 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: and he had heard it and he's like, man, this 844 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,879 Speaker 1: just makes sense. So he recorded it. Did you think 845 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,880 Speaker 1: why you call me the other voice? You know you 846 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: got Grace part them, Why wouldn't you call you all? 847 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 1: I did tell him it needs to be a duet, 848 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: and I was kind of waiting for the invite. I 849 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: understand because Grace is amazing and look they you know, 850 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: they have to pull it together with other genres and 851 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: branch out, and you know, she was happening, and um, 852 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 1: it worked out. I'm not upset about that. I think 853 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: that to do at part I did suggest, but it's 854 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: okay because it worked out. I'm just happy again to 855 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 1: be a part of and im the traction.
