WEBVTT - Wynonna Judd 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.440 Welcome, Welcome, Welcome back to the Bob Left Sets podcast. 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.640 My guest today is the one and only why Noona Judd, 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.880 which thanks the first question. I always thought it was Winona? 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:30.720 Is it Winona or why Nona? Seriously, it's what okay? 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:35.080 I I heard that the inspiration was the song Rude 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:39.640 sixty six. Is that true? It is true that it's 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:45.120 the Root sixties six. I was named after Whynny Harris Um, 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.720 a black blues man, and Ray Benson gave me my 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:55.440 name back when I was twelve or thirteen. Okay, how 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.080 did you encounter Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.920 at aged twelve or thirteen? Interesting story. I ended up 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.200 in Austin, Texas with my mother and she was dating 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.680 one of the band members, and we would go every 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.160 night and sit and watch Asleep at the Wheel and 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.360 the fabulous Thunderbirds. And I grew to love Ray Um 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:22.039 as an elder, and he just took me under his wing, 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.360 and he loved me, and he had no idea I 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.880 sang by the way. I was very shy, and I 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.000 think he was just such a loving person that he 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.920 took me under his wing. And he and my mom 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.240 both decided that I wanted to change my name anyway 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.520 because Christina was just a little too boring. Okay, you 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.600 know there are a lot of famous musicians like Elton 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.160 John although we legally changed his name Roles Cooper, and 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.760 their regular life they go with their given name, in 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.680 his case Red or Vince. Do your friends call you 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.520 why no? No? Or do they call you Christina? They 0:01:55.560 --> 0:02:02.200 call me why um? Christina? Uh is long past. That 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.240 was my go to school years high school. I think 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.880 I ended in tenth grade Christina and became Winona and 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.160 officially when I got my first check, Bob, I um 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.640 changed it legally to Winona. And when I got my 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.320 first check for twenty dollars singing here in Nashville, and 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.560 so I decided, okay, it's time here we go. Okay, 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.840 if we looked at your passport, what is the last name, 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.280 uh Judd? At this point, you know what, that's an 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.160 interesting question. I'm gonna have to go back. Is my 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.680 passport Christina Claire Simonela? No, it's why Nona Ellen Judd 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:43.120 because I changed it legally. That's right. I am a Gemini. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.680 So I have two names for two people. Here. Are 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:51.480 you into astrology? I mean I I believe God created everything. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.880 So hey, I'm I can go where you lead me. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.280 I can go where you leave me. I'm not quite 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.960 sure where I'm going, but you're going when you better. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.000 You're going to Mexico to the Girls Just Wanna Concert. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:09.520 How did you get involved in that? That's a great question. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.639 While I have a huge following and people just love music, 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.200 and Brandy Carlyle and I are joined forever. She's very, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.400 very dear to me. When Mom died, I went on 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:26.040 tour and Brandy became my right hand and uh literally 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.240 my left lung. She became so immersed in the tour, 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.480 knew every song, knew every breath, knew everything, and I 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.560 just we got really close and I just love her, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.640 and she invited me because she knows I'm really fun. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.720 And I've pretty much done it all at this point, Bob, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.320 at least at least twice. You know, I've done cruises, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.720 I've done Hell's Angels, rallies, I've done the presidential six times, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.240 president singing to and this is going to look good 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.400 on the resume because I'm going down to Mexico and 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:04.880 sing my Alma. She's crazy instead of Mama. He's crazy. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.520 So here we go. Okay, so there a couple of questions. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.920 How did you literally meet Brandy Carlisle. Oh, I met her. 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:18.960 Let's see, when was the first time. I'm trying to think, huh, Brandy, 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.840 When I met Brandy? What year? I think it was 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.919 two years ago. I met Brandy and all of a sudden, 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.600 I don't know how to explain it other than two 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.400 spirits collide and she's the closest thing to a sister 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:38.200 I've ever had. Okay, occasionally you talk to another person. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.440 This is audio only, just for the people playing the 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.240 home game. Who are you talking to? I'm talking to 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.320 my right hand Lindsay. Because I don't do well with dates. 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.359 I could tell you what you were wearing, and I 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.240 could tell you what we were doing, eating and playing 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.800 what game. But I have a hard time remembering because 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.960 of my history or my my history. I have so 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.800 much that happened so fast, and so my brain has 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.839 a hard time remembering specific scheduled dates. So let's stay 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.600 with Randy for a second. How did you literally get 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:14.360 connected with her? Well? Through music and I she came 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.440 to Nashville. Um, I met her with Tanya Tucker as well, 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.240 and we just became fast friends. And when Mom died, 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.159 she literally stopped what she was doing and flew in 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.320 to sing at the memorial, and um, you always remember 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.680 who your people are there at moments like that, your 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:35.480 wedding or a funeral. Um. And Brandy became literally the 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.560 person that I sat in the um dressing room and 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.680 just wept openly because she and I trust her. I 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.880 trust her with my life really professionally and personally. She's 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.840 been to the farm, We've been on a side by 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:54.400 side together talking about Joni Mitchell and just loving music 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.520 and UM, I want I'm working on a song with 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:03.680 her right now. You say you're fun. Can you expand that? Well? 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.760 I think I have a little bit of a reputation 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.920 for being really serious, and I think it comes from 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:14.520 being stuck on a bus with my mom for ten years. Um, 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.520 and I I will say I lost a little bit 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.320 of my joy because everything was really strict and specific. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.960 And I was raised She's a tough sum bitch and 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.960 I was raised with her, you know, being the boss lady. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.680 And when I became solo, I went out and got 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:34.960 a tattoo and Bota Harley if that tells you anything. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.800 And since then I've been trying to get away with 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:43.279 as much as I can legally, and I just really try, 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.479 I try really hard to not take all this so 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.440 stinking seriously because it gets really old, really fast. Okay, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.919 so by time this year's because the event and the 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.800 plia is literally just a couple of days away. Are 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.919 you going to be the type person who's hanging in 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.600 your hotel room? Are you gonna be available? You're gonna 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.080 be drinking, You're gonna be smoking, and what's why? No, 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.400 They're gonna be like down in Mexico. You tell me, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.920 I'm so ready to I bought a wig for eighties night. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.960 I think I'm gonna wear Spandex because you know it's 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.920 coming back, and I'm gonna they want me to do 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:22.200 stuff like show up and do bingo and shoot, I'm available. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.600 Let's put it that way. Brand If Brandy were to 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:28.360 call me up and say we're doing um, you know, 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.640 a congo line, I would run down and do it 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.200 because I'm I think it's really important in this day 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.680 and age to connect with people and more intimately, especially 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.840 because I think the business is so wacky that I'm 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.800 looking to literally meet the girl who says I have 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.600 no idea who you are. She's probably twenty something thirty something, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.880 and she has no idea. And the only reason she 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.600 knows me is because of Brandy. That's the person I'm 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.840 seeking out. So if she calls me and says, hey, 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:59.480 come to the bar, bring it okay. So where do 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.760 you live right now? I don't want the address, but 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:08.000 you know, generally you can go on YouTube and find it. Um. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.320 So I live on a farm. I bought land in 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.880 ninet for dollars an acre, and I live on a 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.760 five acre farm that's next to my mom's farm, and 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.120 we have a compound. Ashley lives on the land. I 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.360 gave her a house and she lives on the property, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.040 and my mom's right next door her house. I talk 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.080 about her still like she's here, which is interesting. Um. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.120 And then I live on the other side. It's sort 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.640 of like a v if you were to make a triangle. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.920 That's the strongest force in the universe. And we live 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.760 in a triangle and we have a lake that separates us. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.240 And how far is this from so called civilization? Let's 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.040 see here. I think the smallest town is about three 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.320 or four miles away, and it's tiny. No stoplight, people 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:57.080 walk right, horses, and it's just it's like genteel. It's 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.600 just a really cool little town. It's like what Aspen 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.720 probably doably was when it first started. And then you 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.720 go into town, probably ten miles into Franklin, and that's 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:11.320 our big city. And for those who were not tennessee, uh, connoisseurs, 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.679 Franklin is how far from Nashville. Let's see, I would 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.040 say Franklin is about forty five minutes to an hour 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:21.520 from downtown Nashville and then music Row. I would say 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.440 I could make it there in about forty two minutes. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:30.360 Sure not it's forty three. But okay. You talk about 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.800 having a very strict mother, one would think you wouldn't 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.280 live on the same piece of property. Well, there's a fence. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.600 There's a really good fence. Um. You know, that's an 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.400 interesting thing because the more I see the story from 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.319 where I'm at right now, now that she's gone, as 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:56.800 much as I did to get away from the strict um, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.720 she was really all I had. You know, some people 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.680 would say, you know, Stockholm syndrome, you're gonna go crazy 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.480 there for a minute. And then some people would say, well, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.960 they just didn't know any better. I think I think 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.240 it was the way it was in my life. She 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:17.080 was so centerpiece. In other words, I worked for her. Um. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:22.200 Everything was about yes ma'am and no ma'am. Okay, you're 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.120 on the farm. How social are you, whether seeing people 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.640 in person, staying in contact with eye, message or however 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.920 you might or you more of a home body doing 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.680 your own thing. I'm an I'm an omnivert, which is 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:41.800 both omnivert. Uh. It depends on the day. It depends 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.720 on whether or not I have on makeup. I'm a loner. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.760 I walk in the wilderness. I have eleven dogs and 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:51.840 close to forty animals, and so I have my farm life. 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:57.640 We grow a garden. We are home bodies. Yet I'm very, 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.240 very used to going into town and how having a 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:04.280 burger at the local diner there and people know me 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.920 first name. You know, how's it going? When? When does 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.240 your tour start? Would you like a hot dog or 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:15.600 a hamburger? And here's a coke? And it's just small town. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.640 It's awesome because people don't really care because a lot 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.360 of us live out there. Just so you know, Bob, 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.600 we live in It's sort of an area where next 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.600 to me, is Carrie Underwood down the streets Riba. There's 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.160 a bunch of people out there that have decided they 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.960 want to live out on the land and not be 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.880 you know, downtown Nashville. And you see you have a farm. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.720 We talk about a garden. Uh. You know, are you 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:44.160 a gentle person farmer? Do you have horses? You go 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.040 out on your a t V? Or you just have 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.560 enough land so you don't have to be right up 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.360 next to the HOI POI I'm in it to win it. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.840 I'm I'm in the mud. Um. The garden is my life. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.719 When it's planted. I completely cook. I put in a 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:05.640 pro kitchen. I cooked for forty over Thanksgiving, and um, yeah, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:07.760 you can come to my house and I'll cook for you. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:13.080 I'm known as why Hop. I make a mean breakfast 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.480 a brunch. If you will be uh at the table 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.560 that seats twelve, and we will sit there and we 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.480 will talk about life um on the farm. And then 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.000 I'll turn around and put on my sparkles and my 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.439 undergarments and go out. And I'm, you know, the queen 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.600 of the night. Uh. It's an interesting life. I love 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.280 the farm. I love to get dirty. I lived two lives. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.200 In other words, who are the forty people who came 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:44.200 for Thanksgiving? People that I really like. I decided to 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.440 go with people that I really like this time. It 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.440 was really, really fair and wonderful. These people were as 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.640 close to normal as I've ever had in my life. 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.480 Normal is just in our family, a cycle on the 0:12:54.480 --> 0:13:01.559 washing machine. So I ordered, um, let's see a eat tenderloins, 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.720 and I suvied, and I cooked everything from scratch, including 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.800 the cornbread for the dressing. And I invited my son 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.439 and his wife. My son has been with his girlfriend 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.040 since they were fifteen years old. Elijah is my assault 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.480 of the earth, and um, he's been married now for 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.199 a couple of years. And I invited his whole family, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.760 her whole family. So that was like fifteen right there. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.480 So I I literally ordered enough food for the people 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.880 that are the closest to me. We're hillbillies, I'll be 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.120 honest with you. We don't do fancy. We do paper plates, 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.560 and um, we just hang out, you know. We do 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.480 a bonfire and we sit around and some drink whiskey 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.280 and some drink you know, kool aid, and the kids 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:52.920 come and the dogs bark, and we're we're dysfunctional, okay, 0:13:53.280 --> 0:14:00.040 and it works. Would you cook suvied the tenderloin? It 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.640 was to another method. That's a really good question. I 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.679 think I did it because I wanted to try something fancy. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.640 I wanted to be like, you know, the chef of 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.040 the of the deal. And Thanksgiving for me this year 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.840 was really painful. Um My mama has a cookbook, and 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.520 I went and got some of the recipes from the cookbook, 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.520 and my grandmother and my nana she cooked for about 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.600 forty people on a riverboat every night. So we're known 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.560 for our Southern cooking. And I just wanted it to 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.560 be a little fancier. And I didn't want to do 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.440 it Turkey necessarily because we had it on an alternative day. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.960 I'm the alternative parent, just so you know, I'm the 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.720 one that says, Okay, Christmas is gonna come on the 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.280 twenty one this year, because everybody's got divorced parents, you 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.320 know how it is. Families are um split in a 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.720 lot of ways, and Thanksgiving as stressful. So I did 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.480 it on a day where people just wanted to come 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.560 over and hang out, and it was beautiful because it 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.120 was an alternative to the stress and the pressure of commercialization. 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.680 So how did you learn how to cook suvied which 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.800 is cook in water for those who don't know. It's French. Yeah, 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.040 I learned it from I had a chef for ten 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.840 years and she taught me an awful lot about different things, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.480 and I just thought, you know, it's something that I 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.280 want to do because you can put it in the bath, 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.240 the hot bath, the water bath, and you can leave 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.880 it for four hours in the tech and the tenderloin 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.640 stays at the same temperature for all that time, and 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.480 then you take it out. It's a reverse seer, and 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.360 you take it out and you see her the crap 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.320 out of it on your cast iron skillet. I don't 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.040 do much without a cast iron skillet, by the way. 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:36.000 And then you just are like, wow, this is exciting. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.840 I can taste it right now. I love good tenderloind 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.440 You know you've gone on in your history about your 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.720 relationship with food and body image. Where are you at 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:50.000 on that now? Well, I'll be fifty nine in May. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.080 Where am I with body image? That's a really good question. 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.560 I don't know how to answer that. I will tell 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.400 you I work really hard at acceptance. There's so much 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.520 I would change change, And without going into too much detail, 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.240 I will tell you this, I don't weigh and I 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.080 don't worry as much as I used to. I used 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.160 to worry so much about it. I used to fret 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.520 and just stay on myself, and I just don't do 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.600 that anymore. I have a husband who loves me, who's 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.920 been in my life since I was twenty six, and um, 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.120 I think I'm okay today, Ask me tomorrow. It may 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:29.080 be different. Okay. And in terms of health and exercise, 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.880 you're just doing what feels good or do you have 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:36.760 a regiment or a trainer? Yes, it depends on the tour, 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.560 depends on I'm getting ready to go on tour and 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.200 do three back to back shows a week, twenty six 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.280 songs a night, so I've got to, you know, increase 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:50.280 my cardio. I kind of do it as I need to. Um. 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.560 As you know, as you grow older, you lose muscle. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.200 So I'm having to work with a trainer on the 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:59.760 waits part because I'm not really that savvy when it 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:01.880 comes to working out in a gym. So I do 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.760 have a trainer and I have somebody who helps me 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.040 with that. And then I walk out on the farm, 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.600 I do what's called meditative walking. You know, when you 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.320 walk out in the wilderness, you whether you cry or 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.840 cuss or pray, it's a time to just be in 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.520 the woods. And that's my favorite. That's actually my favorite 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.800 because I don't realize that I'm exercising. I walk because 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.800 it just feels good and I'm going somewhere where I 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.960 love the farm. And is the ground relatively flat or hilly? 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.520 It's both. It depends on where you go on the farm. Um, 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.480 when you get to the lake, it goes up the 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.320 hill and it's an amazing piece of land. I can 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.600 honestly say that it's in the heart of one of 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.919 the most beautiful pieces of land in Tennessee, and so 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.280 many people want to live there. It's again like very 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.480 much like Aspen. It started out. It's a small town 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:55.760 that turned into an incredible, incredibly popular and everybody wants 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.200 to be there. You know, the busses are coming with 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.520 the or addresses of all. Yeah, the tourists are coming, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:05.320 the buses are coming, and people are wanting to come 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.960 out there and be a part of our society because 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:12.080 it's just so different. The sun goes down, then what 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:17.919 do you do. Gosh, it depends. Um, I'm making supper tonight. 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.960 I make supper pretty much every night. I cook for 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.359 my husband. I have a thing about that, and I 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.679 think being married to your manager husband, drummer, band member, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.160 we're together all the time, and I try to pick 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:32.360 things to do for him during the daytime that don't 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:37.200 involve business. So we turn off our phones, we sit down, 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.960 we have dinner. We've been watching you know, Yellowstone and 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.040 all the shows that are on Netflix. I don't watch 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.080 a lot of TV unless it's something, and of course 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.000 I always say it I tape it because I come 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.400 from cassettes. But we record stuff and we watch it. Um, 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.439 if it's nice outside, we go sit outside and we 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.159 do a lot of fire. I'm a fire maniac. I 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.520 love fire. Can't have enough fire places. I do would 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.200 fires as many times as I can per week. So 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.440 it's it's outside. We live outside as much as we can. 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:13.119 And where does the wood come from the farm? Do 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.600 you cut it yourself? And your husband cuts it yourself. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.199 We have a farm manager that cuts it and we 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.040 do log on the farm. That's what kept me going 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:25.960 during the pandemic was logging, and we cut down very 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.200 few trees, and because we've had tornadoes. We live where 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.480 the tornadoes hit us, and so we had three thousand 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.720 trees that we took down out of the farm that 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:40.520 we're blown down by the tornadoes. We're a hearty bunch 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.480 and we get it done okay. And when you're off, 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.359 when you're not on the road and forgetting, as you 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.760 put it, the pandemic. Do you travel for sport, whether 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.800 it be in America, Europe, whatever, or if you're not 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.520 working your home. Absolutely again, I'm a loner. I like 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.639 to be on myself. Um. I love to be with 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.480 the animals. We have miniature donkeys and pigs and chickens, 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.439 and I love to cook and be around people that 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.160 I love. My son and his wife are still living 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.880 with us until next week when they close on their house, 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.480 their very first house, and I like to be at home. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.840 I've designed the house to where I don't have to 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:22.760 leave if I don't want to. We have the studio 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.119 there on the property, so Robert Ware came out to 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.720 the farm and walked into the studio right there right 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:31.800 behind our house. I have a golf cart and I 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.840 go back and forth and we live on the farm. 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:36.919 We live and work on the farm. I had to 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.320 come into town today because our WIFEI is out, so 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.240 we still live in the country where we have to 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:46.120 deal with the realities. Okay, if you're a loner, how 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:52.120 does that work in relationships? Mm hmm, that's a really 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:58.320 great question. I have what I call the dream team 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.760 of people around me, and I'm not really very social. 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:03.920 I don't go out to parties and I don't really 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.639 go to events anymore. I used to back when I 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.400 was in my twenties. And you know, I think it's 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.600 because I'm working on a record right now. I'll talk seasonally. 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.320 We're working on a record right now, we're working on 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:19.040 the tour. I'm working on writing a book and doing 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:22.760 a cookbook, and I'm always working on projects. Like you 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.159 you know, we're always working. We're always doing something. So 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.840 I like to spend time doing that, and then when 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:30.600 I'm not doing that, I like to get away with 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.159 us with doing as little as possible because my life 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:36.880 is so um. I just met with my doctor yesterday 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.160 and she said, you know, let's talk about your adrenal 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:43.880 glands started laughing and I said, I don't know how 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.720 I do it because I have so much energy. Um, 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:50.280 I'm just always doing stuff, man, I'm always looking for 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.600 something to do. Okay, So let's just say it's you 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.720 and your husband in the house. Does he know to 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.400 leave you alone at certain times? You're in your own head, 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.880 you're doing your own thing. He's a cowboy, he's a maverick. 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.159 He's my king. He's always doing something. And I have 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.159 to actually either text him down at the studio and 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.160 say supper is ready, or I have to walk where 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:14.160 he is and say, hey, let's go take a walk 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.159 or do something. And he Tomorrow night is date night, 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:20.600 so we have date night. And he's really good about 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.640 He's very maternal. Yet he is a cowboy and so 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:29.120 he's always eas either riding horses, working on a song, 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:33.480 smoking a cigar and drinking his whiskey, or shooting his gun. 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.000 So he's a pretty busy guy. And so we get 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.240 together usually after six thirty seven o'clock at night. We 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:45.960 sort of have a date every night for supper. And 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:51.560 he tragically lost his leg, uh in a motorcycle accident. 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.639 But you showed me a picture before we started of 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:59.520 him skiing, So how have he and you coped with 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:04.400 the loss of his leg? Well, if you know cactus 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:09.040 mosure um, it's really hard to tell that he doesn't 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:14.480 have a leg. He is the most honestly. I heard 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.359 him complain one time when he lost the leg back 0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.320 three months after we got married, and he said, honey, 0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:22.560 I'm different, and I said, I know that, and I 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.280 took care of him and that We have a documentary 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:30.120 called The Road Back, and we talked about the entire experience, 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.399
