I have no idea. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.399 I just watched the people to wear the same color 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.720 I'm wearing. When they cheer, I cheer. That's how I 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.080 know when it's time that well. So, I mean, you 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.840 have this new song here, and you know I was 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.760 out at stage coach whenever you played because and so 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.280 I got to hear it the first time. I'm gonna 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:54.680 play some of this. This is life's about to get good. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.880 I get you with the new song here and it's good. 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:01.720 So so what are you what's in your mind right now? 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.440 So here you are? You're back? Like, do you feel 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:08.000 like there's a pressure to it? Yeah, but I'm cheered up, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.800 you know. I listened to the song and it cheers 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.280 me up, you know, makes it puts me in a 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:17.000 good spirit and really does for me what you know 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.400 the song did for me when I wrote it. You know, 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.640 it just picked me up. And so it's getting after 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.280 a really good start in enjoying the process again, you know, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.320 jumping in and feeling happy to be here again and 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:38.839 grateful and in a good spirit about about you know, 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:44.080 life and career and trying to do it all. Um, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.760 there's just so many challenges in coming back to something 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.359 you haven't done in a long time. So yeah, the 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.599 song makes me feel like I'm ready and happy and 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.800 feeling good. How do you pick a comeback song? Because 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.200 I'm sure you have lots of songs, I mean you 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:04.719 you got a bunch of songs, Jeff, how do you see? 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.839 And I just want to get it? So how do 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:12.039 you pick? Say? Uh, well, this song really does tell 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.760 it's got a very melancholy story. On the one hand, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.040 you know, I wasn't just broken. I was shattered, are 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.480 the first words. And it's just it's all about betrayal 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.960 and and all that, you know, all that bad stuff, 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.159 but it's also about seeing the light at the end 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.800 of the tunnel. And the song opens up. I mean 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.000 it's it's got this really bouncy music to it with 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:40.159 this melancholy story, and it's I chose it because it 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.680 tells the truth about where I've been in the transition 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.159 and where I am now with it. Um And I wrote, 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.080 you know what, writing is very cathartic for me. I 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.839 I this is a good example as a song that 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.880 I've written that that is truly about me and my 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.320 life and and what music does for me. It pulls 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.320 me out of my slumps. I want to it right now. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.120 I'm gona play the whole thing here. It's World Premier day. 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.559 Shania Twains here, so I'm gonna play live. It's about 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.240 to get good. It's the world premiere.

Oh so tip, don't 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.120 leave your water bottle in here because someone will grab 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.480 it and sell it. They like when you when you're 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.200 really famous, like you do, you have to worry about 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.039 things like that, like you have someone that's always watching you, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.320 like don't leave forks or tip the proper amount? Do 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:30.680 you worry about that kind of stuff. I do not 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:35.480 overthink fame. It's just life's too short. Like if a 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.000 valet takes your car, are you like, oh, for sure, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:39.840 they just told somebody to day valet Shanai and I 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.839 only tipped them twenty bucks? No? No, I mean I 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.119 just don't think about those things. You know. I forget 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.640 who I am most of the time. That's what I 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.840 really prefer to do. Um. I just go about life 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.360 and until somebody reminds me of who I am, I 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.320 forget who I'm gonna like it twin. We haven't told 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.360 you f I. So you know, you have this entire 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.440 class of female artists and these here, and you know, 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.280 the last five, six, seven years, you're like what they 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.000 grew up listening to. I mean, you're what they admire. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.520 And I was like doing. You brought at Kelsey Ballerina, 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.240 who were very close to and you got staying together. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.760 We were in California and for her that that's like 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.280 a life changing thing even for me, like you're what 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.160 I listened to on the radio. It's it's like a 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.600 flashback for me. You know, um years ago in concert, 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.640 I had so many little kids at the shows. And 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.560 then I just never even imagined or projected myself into 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.480 the future, thinking that one day, um, they're going to 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:45.800 be the you know, kids in their twenties at my shows. Um. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.080 Sometimes they're still there with their parents. You know. You 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.680 see the two generations together. And sometimes it's just the 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.800 group of college kids coming together the party and it's 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.480 and they'll say, oh, you were my first concert. I'm like, 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:01.000 I'm thinking, wow, okay, you're you're an adult. How is 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.800 that possible? Um? So yeah, I know it's true. It's 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:09.040 this whole generation of college kids, um that went to 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.280 my shows when they were little or you know, listen 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.760 to my song from the car Seaton back. You know. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:16.840 I want to ask you about this. I remember reading 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:21.200 when you had vocal cords the issue. Yeah, I guess 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.880 I was in college. Right after college. What happened? So 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.760 what happened your vocal cords? Because you have surgery right Like, no, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.600 you can't, this is not you can't. I can't repair 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.640 it with surgery. So it's still a thing. It's an 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.520 atrophy thing. Yeah. Yeah, I was tick. I had lives Sussies. 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.040 I got hit by a tick and wow that major 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.840 vocal cords bad. Yep, it's it's um. You know, lives 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.600 sudies can really get to your neurological system. And it's 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.320 I don't make a long story short, and all the 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.640 testing that I did, UM finally because the vocal cords 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:59.800 look normal from in a regular UM exam, but um, 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.760 I I've got slight atrophy on both chords. Um. The 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.760 nerves are damaged in there, and so I had to 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.480 get five long needles. You get five long needles into 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:19.640 your larynx and then they read your your nerve um activity. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.640 Yeah that's what that's what um. Yeah, And so I've 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.280 got a bit of extra on both sides. And it's 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.040 it's really really makes it really tough. I've I do 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:31.160 a lot of vocal physiotherapy basically, so that's a lot 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.720 of warm up. Then before you go out. Well, I'm 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.480 trying to get the warm up down right now. I 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.000 need about an hour and a half to warm up, 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.319 and I can't do any spontaneous singing like if I 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.160 if I was this thing like right now, I would 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.320 sound like a din and cow. I really need to 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.600 And that's really a bummer for me because sometimes I'm 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.439 in a club or whatever and I feel like, you know, 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:49.559 I just want to get up and see where I 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.320 wanted to do karaoke and you know, get into the 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.600 whole thing. But I could really damage myself if I 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.679 did that, so um, and I don't want to damage myself. 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.920 I don't have nodules or anything that you know, the 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.040 typical sing or something. This is from a lime Lime's disease. 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.280 It's a nerve damage and it's really a bumber. I'm 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.560 stuck with it for the rest of my life. But 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.840 so it just takes a lot of work. It's like 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.520 a permanent injury. Yeah, it's gonna be weird to just 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.040 even singing knowing you have because I have a lot 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.600 of friends and professional athletes and like they've they've torn muscles, heart, 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.080 but they say even the mental part of it is 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:22.640 so hard because they don't even want to press on 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.840 it because they're like, what if even though they've done 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.840 all the problems, but if it gives out and it 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.360 is like that, like if I don't warm up and 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.840 really prepare it is I always do refer to it 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.480 like a knee, like a bad knee. Um. And you 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.240 never know when that he's going to give out on you. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.640 And that happens to me when I'm singing. Um, Like 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.720 I wouldn't be able to be an opera singer for example, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.280 because you know, but because I'm running around and I'm 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.320 I can add live and I can, I can, I 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:51.679 can work with it, I can, I can manage it. Um. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.920 And I'm just so determined, Like I couldn't sing for 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.719 a long long time and I could barely yell out 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.880 for my dogs. It's really really because the air escapes 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:06.880 from the you know, it's very technical. Um. But I 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.679 was just really determined to get to the bottom of 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.200 it and find out what I could do about it. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:15.920 And little by little I realized that I could do this, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.839 I could do it again, and UM, so now I'm 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.320 not going to give up. Now. You know, it takes 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.360 a lot of work. I have to say, it's a 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.000 lot of work, and I do get to you know, 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.960 scourage some days, like an athlete with an injury. Um, 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:30.480 you do worry, is that is it going to give 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.280 out on me? When I'm on stage. Is it gonna 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.520 Is it gonna be there for me when I need it? Um? 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.079 But I feel really good just talking about it too. 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.760 That helps me psychologically with it, and I accept it. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.880 It's just part of who I am. Now. I want 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.840 to ask you about people crying? Could I make people 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.480 they meet you they cry all the time? And how 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:50.880 do they How do you get used to people crying 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.000 when they meet you because you're royalty inside of our format, 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.080 your royalty. Well, you know, my mother used to always 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.640 cry whenever I would sing every time at kitchen table, 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.880 A good cry, like mom, you know. Like so I 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.560 would say, at the kitchen table, I play our a 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.800 new song that I wrote. You know, I'm like ten 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:14.000 or something. You know, she cried, and then you know, 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.760 I'm on stage, I sing a song. She cries. We're 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.840 at a house party somewhere, sing a song. She cries. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:23.760 I mean, she would always cry. She was always very 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.120 emotional about I don't know what what it was, whether 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.280 you know, and what does do all mothers do that, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.840 like cry all the time when their child performs. I 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.120 don't know, but my mother always did, and so I'm 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.080 used to it, and I appreciate. I learned to appreciate 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:40.800 it at the time as a kid, I'm like, oh, mom, 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.120 come on, and you've heard me sing a million times, 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.280 you know. But I've really learned to appreciate the connection 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.760 with people and what and what any emotion said it's 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.440 to something people. I want to play a clip here. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.520 These are people that have all covered you. It's gonna 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.199 be tough. See if you can tell who this is. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.400 You're all very famous singers. Go see if you can 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:08.720 tell who's covering you. Okay, clip number one, here you go. 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:20.640 That's Miranda Lambert. Oh it's Carrie. Yeah. Okay, it's so easy. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.120 Once you're told, you can hear it. Alright, try another one, 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.520 Sha Twin in studio. Dang it, you stumped me on that. 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.600 I hate that name the artist it's covering you. Number two, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:39.320 that's it's just that I don't know. It was the 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:44.960 southern I don't know. They both have that southern thing. O.

Okay, of course I know who 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.520 this is. I'm joining the blame. I know the voice, 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:14.480 and i've the name's leaving me. Oh that's nice. I 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:21.240 like you, Luke Brian, thank you. Yeah, and audios obviously 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.120 fantastic too. I think I've recorded that from their sock 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.640 cell phone. Really. Yeah, that's got a cool scratchiness to it. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.600 I'm go, way to go, Luke. That was good to 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.560 give you one more about another dude. No, I'm gonna 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.800 keep d Yeah. A lady dude, no, lady. That's what 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.680 I am. In my family, I'm a lady dude. Why 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.440 is that? I don't know, because they're always calling each 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.880 other dude and I I guess they thought I was 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.680 feeling left out. So my son's like, you're a lady dude, mom, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.320 and I do all the lady dude things. I mean, 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.640 I play street hockey with them, I play basketball, I 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:57.400 play soccer. I'm a lady dude, I think, are you kid? Yeah, 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:59.720 so I'm one of the dudes because you know he's cool? 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.200 Eyes like, does he know you're cool? Does he know 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.200 you're like? I don't know if he would go so 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.080 far as saying I'm cool. Um, he's he's a big 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.600 support or big cheerleader of mine, and he's really but 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.240 you know, he doesn't really get into the whole fame thing. 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:21.040 I'm just mom. Yeah. Yeah. And are his friends like 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.360 your mom, Shania Twain. Yeah, they kind of are a 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.040 little bit, not not all of them, they're kind of 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.440 they're really supportive, you know, supportive as well. Um that 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:33.640 that's his life and that's his world. Um. But I 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.880 think the cool part is more that I'm I think 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.040 maybe I'm a cool mom. Um. I don't think that 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.160 anything has anything to do you know, all that aside, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:44.800 you'd still be a good mom. I'm not really sure 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.680 how cool he thinks that the friends ever ask you 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.160 to sing at the wedding, because I always feel like 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.320 that would be really awkward, like if someone's your friend, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:58.320 Like no, you know, um, they they have you know, 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.480 I done that. I know I know I have done that, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.760 but never like not in like a band setting. You know, 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.440 I'll just like get up and do a little a 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.240 few lines of something, you know, just to to do it. 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.400 But yeah, no, that does happen. The karaoke is the worst. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.720 The pressure on you to go anywhere where anybody's singing 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.480 because everyone's like if she's going to get up and sing, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.640 But now I can't do that, even if I wanted 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.320 to that. That is kind of a bummer. Um but yeah, 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.600 you know, because I got to warm up, I just 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.080 can't get out up there, and like, you know, do it. 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.200 I want to know about this new music. So, I mean, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:28.720 you have a whole record, it's going to come out. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.720 So how many songs we're putting on this thing? I 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.240 recorded twenty one? Um, it was very hard to bring 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.840 it down, and sometimes I regret bringing it down to sixteen. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.400 But you know, I'm ready to get back to the 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.960 studio and make another album. So well that head start. 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.080 You're ready to make another album, I am. I've got 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.880 so many songs in there in my head, you know, 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.920 in my heart. Um, but yeah, there's sixteen on this one, 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.480 and um, I'm excited for more to hear it. So 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.680 today's the world premier day if you missed it. And 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:02.960 she and I have been here for a while. Here, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.240 she has a song. Here, life's about to get good. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:13.119 We're playing it all day today. So what are we thinking? 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.320 Like when's the record coming out? Like all I see 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.720 her vague times and like late summer, early fall. It 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.240 is like, well, it's mid falls September. Um, I think 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.960 the exact date is the twenty nine. Are you giving 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.080 us an exact month day, September twenty nine. Yeah. Yeah, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.119 I'm planning on stick and do it. Dang yeah, and 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.960 you out playing, that's all you're saying. I was like, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.639 dang that it was really good. Nick Jonas up there 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.040 with you too, I know, it was like, yeah, I 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.040 was on the side. I was like that, that's the group, man, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.919 that's those they were kids, you know. When I was 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.600 do when my man, I felt like a woman thing. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.080 What is your amy? What's your song? When you think 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.080 of what's your song? Who's bet of your bitsfen under? 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.920 And that's the first thing just my head. So yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.520 for sure. I wrote that in a little bush cabin 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:09.040 in Canada. Buy my wood stove. Really yeah yourself? Well, 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.439 I wrote it, and then I wrote that before I 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:16.159 met Um, and then when we met that was one 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.920 of the songs I pulled out of my hat and 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.200 Um and then we finished it together. I don't really 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:27.000 even remember what we did collaboratively on that, but everything 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:28.639 in the hat at that point, you know, once we 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:32.520 were collaborating a songwriter. So what is your quintessential Nationville story? 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.000 Because you hear you know, I did a hundred stories 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.400 about you now, like you just pack up moved down. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:44.720 I did. I literally drove here from Timmins, Uh, put 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.639 everything in the back of my Jimmy that was my 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:52.000 vehicle at the time, and loaded that up with everything 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.359 I could possibly put in there laundry basket. I mean everything. 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.720 I mean I was. I had no money and I 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.400 just drove the the three days um to Nashville, and 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:05.800 I think I got a little bit of cash from 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.600 the label. I got a put a you know, first 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.440 and last month's rent um on an apartment in Brentwood. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:17.600 And here I was, did you were you famous in 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.600 Canada already before you came down, Like, did you have 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.520 a bunch of Canadian money like Loony's Oh she had 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.120 no money? No? No, I had no money. I had 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.600 no record, No, no, my my record. I was signed 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.520 to Nashville, not Canada. Um I didn't have a record 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.480 deal in Canada. I had never released a record in Canada. 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:40.400 I was still a stage singer, a club singer, singer, songwriter. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:47.919 Um so I went straight from that two Nashville and 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:49.720 how long until you hit you moved here, and then 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.720 how long until you had your first big hit? Because 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.680 people think people just move and go, snap, there's a hit. 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.520 I did very fast on you know. Um it was 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.760 like a year. Wow. Yeah, didn't sweep you up like whoa, whoa, 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.959 whoa before before you kind of realized what was going on, 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:10.840 you were a star. I mean I was so ready 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.760 for it, because first of all, I was already by 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.640 the time I was really what you would consider famous. 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:23.040 I was thirty. I wasn't young. I mean I spent 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:27.159 my whole youth preparing for that. So it's not like 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:28.920 all of a sudden I was, you know, twenty two 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:36.480 and famous I was. I was thirty. I um, you know, 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.960 I guess I'm I don't know. I mean, I didn't 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.000 have any recording experience. I didn't have any fame experience, 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.560 but I had spent my whole childhood and all of that, 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.840 all of my twenties working toward it. Um, you know, 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:52.080 singing in bars and at any time type of show 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:56.200 that I could get into, festivals, writing, writing, writing, writing, writing, 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:59.440 I mean I really, you know, I wrote all the time, 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.320 you know, by my self I was just a sol writer. 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.040 So by the time I made it, I was so ready. 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.120 I mean, by the time I met Mud and made 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.919 that first record with him, I had a whole stache 0:21:10.920 --> 0:21:14.320 of songs and it went very fast that record. You know, 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.000 I think my song is honey I'm Home, like when 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:22.360 I think, I just like I just love the paste. Yeah, yeah, 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.480
