59
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: that was cool, and that's on the album. And then

00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: ship and he played piano on the recording. That was

64

00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: the Country Music crew, what is it like performing in

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: this environment? But they're a different environ.

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: It's a lot of fun.

71
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: I mean, of course on the cruise, there's so many

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: artists and you see them all over the ship, and

73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: you see him in the dining rooms, you see them

74
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: on the pool decks.

75
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're everywhere.

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: And we're walking through the towns of the Port Calls.

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: You see him downtown, so you see a lot of people.

78
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun, and everybody's pretty laid back

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: and there's not a whole lot of egos out there.

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: It's just a lot of fun.

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a festival in a cruise ship setting

82
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: very cool. Yeah, people should definitely check out Your Life

84
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of Standing on the Edge of Goodbye.

85
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: What do you remember about recording and writing the song

86
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: and realizing how special it was.

87
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: It's a little crazy.

88
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I remember writing the chorus, I was on tours

89
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: back on tire, and I had this chorus and the

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: band and I we worked it up and we played

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: it and then we played it soundcheck one day, and

92
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: then the next day at soundchat the crew asked, hey,

93
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: play that sack.

94
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 4: We'll played it again, and then every day soundcheck they

95
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: want to hear it. So all we had was a chorus.

96
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: So we just played it over and over a few

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: times and I couldn't finish the songs. I just had

98
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: his bluff and I got together with Stuart Harris, who

99
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: wrote No One Else on Earth for one on a

100
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: jug and an hour and a half later we had.

101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 4: It was done.

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: It was my first song that I had a hand

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: in writing that was a number one record for me.

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: But it was, but I don't remember recording as weird

105
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: as is.

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 4: I got real sick.

107
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: We recorded that album about this time of year in

108
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four, because the debut album has already it

109

Speaker 4: Record, Wow.

125
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: Sometime during all that we recorded the song stand on

126
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: the Edge of I don't remember Wow. I remember I

127
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,320

128
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: But crazy, isn't it?

129

130
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: all at once then. But yeah, I mean, it's such

131
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a beautiful song. And your vocals turned out so beautifully

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: on that song. And as you mentioned, this also marks

133
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: the thirtieth anniversary of the Faces album. When you go

134
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: back and revisit that era of your music, what stands

135
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: out to you the most about that time and country music.

136
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: Well, I think that I love the sound of the

137
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: records that came out during that time, the producers that

138
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: made to produce those records and my producer, Chuck Howard,

139
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: there's there's something about those records that even today they

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: still sound great. Yeah, you know, a sonically sound great,

141
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: the arrangements sound great. You know, Chuck Hart did a

142
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: great child of my records. There is he purposely wanted

143
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: to do some sounded classic, you know, just he's had

144
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: great textures of great sounds, nothing too gimmicky and writing

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: that kind of stuffer.

146
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 4: So that was pretty cool.

147
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, especially the production on that album and your

148
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: songs that can be so crossover from country too, especially

149
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: with a lot of the ballads. So it is beautifully done.

150
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about your cruise tour and

151
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,200

Speaker 3: war from ten to two and that was and we

187

Speaker 3: program and ended up doing it there for five years.

189
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: But Old Holy Night was part of that and we

190
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,640

191
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,800

194
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: Your Love Amazes Me. I had brain surgery that morning.

195
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 3: Telugh way to get a number one record, but a

196
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: guy's got to do what a guy's got to yet,

197
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,479
Speaker 3: so we had already scheduled from months before.

198
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: To go in and record a few Christmas songs to

199
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: see kind of what we had this.

200
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: Chuck had heard about a Christmas shore in Athens, and

201
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: so were. We set a schedule and it was June

202
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: eighth of nineteen ninety four. With all the hoopla around

203
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: my surgery, we forgot about it. Chuck called my wife

204
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: and said, we've got about this session. I'll cancel, and

205
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: my wife's wisdom she said, no, don't canceler. John needs

206
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: to distract you, which I really did, so we went

207
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 3: in on June Ah been recorded O Come Emmanuel and

208
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: Oh Holy Night, and we just captured something really special.

209
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: Some you couldn't plan, you couldn't make a And if

210
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: you if you can ever, if you find that old

211
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: record or hear it on the radio, that reporting that

212
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: came out on the album in nineteen ninety five Oh

213
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: Holy Night album, there's something I mean. It was recorded

214
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: twenty eight days after I had brain surgery.

215
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, I mean.

216
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's the best thing about events were

217
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: sessions where you know, you feel like canceling, you're not

218
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: really sure if you're up for it. Sometimes the best

219
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: things come out of the sessions or events that you

220
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: feel like not going to.

221
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and once again, recording had no idea. I don't

222
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: remember a word of it. I'll remember being there. I

223
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: listened back to it and I can sort of sense.

224
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 3: But if you hear that recording, that old record, listen

225
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 3: with new years, knowing that twenty eight days before I'd

226
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: had gone through that surgery, and see, if you don't

227
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: hear something real vulnerable because I didn't know what they'd find.

228
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: And when we were in the studio recording it, it.

229
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: Was like it's so magical. It was so emotional.

230
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: The violinist Connie her violin, wool class violinist her violin

231
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: kid going out of tune, and Chuck Howard to produce

232
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: her instracross the headphones. Connie worked doing all with their instrument.

233
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: She said, well, I was sitting in here listening to

234
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: John singering.

235
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: A month ago.

236
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: We were praying he would survive much less sing again,

237
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: she said, the tears are falling off my cheek and

238
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: landing on my violin. Make it and go out of tain.

239
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 3: And that's the kind of stuff you can't wow. The

240
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: scriptwriter for Homework TV couldn't make that up. Yeah, you know,

241
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: it's just there was and so twenty five thirty years

242
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 3: later he could spend it and still feel it.

243
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 4: That's a recording.

244
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely makes you extra grateful when you're in

245
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: the studio recording of songs is now. It's so beautiful. So, John,

246
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: we're on taking a walk Nashville. So a question I

247
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: like to ask my guests and for you, what do

248
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: you think is the most memorable walk in Nashville.

249
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: You have taken?

250
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: Well, two sixteenth Avenue.

251
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 3: I can still remember walking up Sixteenth Avenue before I

252
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: ever had a record deal.

253
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: This this would be pretty cool.

254
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: And then the other walk is a Centennial Park in

255
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 3: the springtime and.

256
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: Nothing quite as beautiful. It's a that's a great place.

257
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, very beautiful. What are your thoughts about how Sixteenth

258
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: Avenue has changed over the years. A.

259
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's not some musical it's condo row and

260
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: it's just it's the inevitable change of thing because one

261
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: thing you can count on, does that stays the same?

262
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,760
