15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: to do that one. That's like a FCC fine, that

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: could be my next thing. That's the whole thing we were.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: So you handed the alcohol and I said, hey, why

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: don't I just drink this? Um the first time I

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: ever drinking, And I'll just get hammered during the podcast,

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: be so embarrassed to be that person. For you, I

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: don't want to be that person, I think, and a

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: lot of my friends want to be that person. They

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: want me to get drunk with them because then they

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: have like my my alcohol flower right exactly. Yeah, I mean,

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I love you, but I don't want your

26
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: alcohol flower. It's not my thing. I've never even heard

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: it called that. I haven't totally creepy. I was out

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: with a girl, Um, speaking of alcohol flower. Well, this

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: is a whole story about me drinking, because when I drink,

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: people act weird around me. I don't drink, but people

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: are drinking. I'll oh, I shouldn't drink around you. So

32
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: I don't tell anybody that that I don't drink. So

33
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: I I fake drink. So I asked the bartender for

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: something virginy, and you know, put a little. So I

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: was with a girl and we went out and Ray

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: and Bay who um, we're having dinner with them. And

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: I go to the bathroom and Ray tells the girl

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: that I took out, Oh, you know, he doesn't drink, right,

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: And then she starts she said, I didn't know he

40
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: told her that, And she's been active totally weird around me.

41
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: And that's what it is. It was something else. Yeah,

42
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: I was like, she must know about my rash. You

43
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: must have which is another reason this kind of be

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: what don't you deserve a metal Because it's really hard

45
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I find to be the sober person around a bunch

46
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: of drunk people because no one who's really drunk understands

47
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: how drunk they are. Right, So you're if you're the

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: sober person, if you're drunk with them, then you don't

49
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: have to worry about not having patience with anybody because

50
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: you're drunk too. But if you're sober and everyone else

51
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: is drunk. But I don't know the difference, right, Well,

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: you just aren't hanging around the right drunks. Maybe, So,

53
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know the difference in me, like

54
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: I know the difference in the right. I've never been

55
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: drunk with the drunks. I only know being with the

56
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: stupid people. Like I know, a Friday night, if I

57
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: go out, I'm doing with a bunch of stupid people.

58
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: That's just par for that course, that's what it's going

59
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: to be. So I appreciate that someone in this house

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: will drink it. Well that's what I thought. You could

61
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: serve it. You could serve it to some one of

62
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: your guests. Yeah, or someone will steal it. That's what happens.

63
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: That might happen. I'll go into my bedroom and I'll

64
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: come back and Eddie stolen or somebody from the show

65
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: selling all the alcohol. I get really nice alcost and

66
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: to me sometimes because you keep alcohol in your bedroom.

67
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean, is this something I'm going to my bedroom,

68
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: like to change clothes or something. I'd come out all right, Okay,

69
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: I feel better now. I feel better now. I was concerned. Yeah,

70
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: what have you been up to all day? I've been

71
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: doing I've been talking about this record. Uh yeah, just

72
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: kind of doing my thing. We're getting ready to go

73
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: to St. Louis to do a tailgate, so I've been

74
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: talking about that. And um, what is then interview day

75
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: for you? Like a press day? What does that consist of?

76
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: You wake up? What time today I woke up at?

77
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: So some days it depends on what you're doing. You know,

78
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: if you're doing one of those big early morning shows

79
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: where you're crackte early morning show. See, I got into

80
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: the music business to not have to get up early,

81
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: but then you end up getting up early for stuff.

82
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: You get up early three o'clock. Yeah, that's not okay.

83
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: That's not okay to me, I would have to quit

84
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: my job. What I used think that because I'm not

85
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: a morning person. I just I'm not. It takes me

86
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: three hours to get to where I'm okay. But you

87
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: it's just a balance like do I love what I do? Yeah?

88
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: But do I hate waking up to do it? Yeah?

89
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: And then as it starts like now we've kind of

90
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I've kind of built something cool. Yeah, So it's like,

91
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, if my worst problem is not getting sleep,

92
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I got that's true. And once you're up, it's okay.

93
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: It's the getting up for me. But getting up in

94
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: the dark, I mean, that's you. Really, you really are

95
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: a night person because you get up in the middle

96
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: of the night. That's I'm a night person anyway, I'm too,

97
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: But I mean, and I am that person. If I

98
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: have to get it really early, I'm not the person

99
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: that goes to bed early. I can't do it. I'm

100
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: just a night person. So I'm just not going to

101
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: get sleep if I got to get up early. If

102
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: you're playing a show and you finish at eleven thirty,

103
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: what time? What time is into the set? Usually the

104
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: whole thing usually midnight something like that. What time do

105
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: you finally get down? Probably two wish. Yeah, that's my

106
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: perfect schedule. If I could go to bed, wake up

107
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: at one pm, like that would be so good, Like

108
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: that's my my natural life. I was reading a story

109
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: about that where a lot of jobs, not a lot

110
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: of just but a lot of science is saying jobs

111
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: they're like programming people wrong, that everybody's body isn't built

112
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: for nine to five, That a lot of people's bodies

113
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: are built for noon to eight p m. And at

114
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: the productivity scale, whenever you find what people do best,

115
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: they actually work better at the times of their bodies.

116
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: Makes so much it makes so much sense, so much sense.

117
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I was a I had a nine to

118
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: five job when I first moved to town, and I

119
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: was a receptionist at the record label, and I had

120
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: to be at work at nine. And I worked at

121
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: a label where there was a guy at the desk,

122
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: so if I got there at nine oh one, he'd

123
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: had to sit there an extra hour, so he was

124
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: really ticked at me if I was ever late. So

125
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: I was always on time because I didn't want h

126
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: to be mad at me. And you couldn't leave your desk,

127
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: to even use the restroom without somebody sitting in your chair,

128
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: because your dance on the phone, you're you're the gateway,

129
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, the whole place. And it was really depressing

130
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: for me. Not because first of all, I'm watching people

131
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: coming every day and do what I wanted to be doing,

132
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: so that was hard, but secondly, just that structure of

133
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: this is when you clock in, this is when you

134
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: clock out. I think people some people are made for it,

135
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: and I think some people aren't. And I don't think

136
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: I am. I like people because oh it must be

137
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: so crazy. You just normal ever know what your schedule

138
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be. I'm like, it's kind of different every day.

139
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: But I kind of love that for me, So it's

140
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: consistently different, like there's a consistency to to it always

141
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: being different exactly exactly, and I like that. I think

142
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: I thrive on that. I don't think I would do well.

143
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: I know I don't do well. Did not do well

144
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: in the nine to five. Marcus Humming is a friend,

145
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: a songwriter in town, and he said that he would

146
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: go in you mentioned your your job at Mary Tyler

147
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Moore and he would see you working behind the desk

148
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: early on. Yes, And actually Marcus gave me work, um

149
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: he I did some demos for him, um back in

150
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: the day. Back in during that time period, I got

151
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: to know, I knew a couple of songwriters, and I

152
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: started doing demos after work. Um. So I'd work nine

153
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: to six, and then I would do demos until you know,

154
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: nine o'clock, and then I would go home and go

155
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: to bed and get back up the next day, and

156
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: and then for and then for a while, I got

157
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: a job playing at a bowling alley in Hendersonville, north

158
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: of town. So I would go leave my job and

159
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: I would play from seven to two, and then I

160
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: would get up and go to work the next day.

161
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: So you work a full normal day at five pm,

162
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: then you go to the bowling alley and play for

163
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: five hours? Yeah, what does that mean? What do you

164
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: do at a bowling on? When you play? Do you

165
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: have like a you play sets? So as you play

166
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: at three like three sets? You in a band. I

167
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: was in a band, So I did all the girls songs,

168
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, and you did that for five hours? Yeah?

169
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: For yeah? And was it enough? Would you do to

170
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: get to like pay rent? Are you doing it to

171
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: get in the music scene a bit. I just wanted

172
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: to sing. Yeah, I mean, and I I honestly made

173
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: I think I'd make about two hundred bucks in a weekend,

174
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: which was what I made in a paycheck, you know,

175
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: So it was and it was I was having more

176
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: fun doing that. So eventually quit the job to do that.

177
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: But also the demo work was I couldn't get full

178
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: time demo work having a full time job, so I

179
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: could only sing after work. So it was kind of

180
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: that moment of like, I'm not really making enough money

181
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: to to quit the job, but if I don't quit

182
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: the job, I'm not gonna be able to do the

183
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: other thing. And that was a little transition. But then

184
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: I then I did demo work and it was great

185
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: for me because I learned. I learned so many things

186
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I didn't even know I was learning, you know. I

187
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: learned what a good song was for me. I learned

188
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: what a bad song was for me. I learned how

189
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: to make a song on my own because I'm kind

190
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: of an imitator and I had sung with the radio

191
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: in my whole life. So then you're hearing songs you've

192
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: never heard before and you have to you have to

193
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: make them yours, and it was. It was a great

194
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: training ground for me in a way that I didn't

195
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: even realize when you're a demo singer. And for example, UM,

196
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, Let's say you and I

197
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: write a song and we're like this really good song.

198
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: We'll get someone to sing the demo so it gets

199
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: pitched to artists. Um, are you hearing like the work

200
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: tape there recording like ascette player and then learning it

201
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: real quick? Are you hearing that? And and looking at

202
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: the lyrics sheet and then walking in and seeing it

203
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: pretty fresh? Yeah, I'm hearing. I'm hearing it on like

204
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: a jam box back in the day, um, with a

205
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: lyric sheet maybe usually usually a lyric sheet. And and

206
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: this was the eighties, you know. So I would have

207
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: a ten o'clock at two o'clock at a six o'clock.

208
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: So usually there be three or four songs per sessions.

209
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: So I would listen to the cassette of the three

210
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: songs I had to sing at ten o'clock on the

211
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: way to the session, because I'd usually go by and

212
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: pick up a copy of the day before usually, and

213
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: I learned them on the way, and I was I

214
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: had a really good short term memory. So I and

215
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: I had this system of because you know, in Nashville

216
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: it's the number system, and I was like, do you

217
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: know the number system. I'm like, yeah, of course I didn't,

218
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: but I said I did because I wanted the work.

219
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: And my system was to listen and kind of just

220
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: make these little hieroglyphic lines that no one can understand

221
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: but me about this one, this song, there's a little

222
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: lick here, that melody goes up upon an arrow. Whatever

223
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: I need to do to kind of learn it. And

224
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: then I would sing those songs and then I would

225
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: um usually do a harmony, and then I would get

226
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: in the car and I learned the next three or

227
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: four songs on the way at the two o'clock. Because

228
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: you can't cramming to each of your cramming for a

229
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: test and to each one, and then the next day

230
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: you do it all over again. So sometimes I wouldn't

231
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you what I had sung that morning,

232
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: But if I eventually heard that on the radio, I'd

233
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: find myself singing along with a song and be like, oh,

234
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I did the demo? Is that crazy? So it's subconsciously, yeah,

235
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: it's in here. But you're just sitting. Yeah. So, did

236
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: you ever sing demos of a song they're turned out

237
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: to be a pretty big one? Um I did. I

238
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: did sing a demo for a Lori Morgan song called

239
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: I Guess You Had to Be There. Sang the demo

240
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: for that. Um I sang, I'm trying to think there

241
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: was something else that I did that became a big song.

242
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: But oh, I did a demo for one of my

243
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: very first demos ever was a song that became a

244
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: hit for Sammy Kershaw called dunt Go near the completely

245
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: switch up, totally dung under the water. There a pride

246
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: to demos singing when when it does kind of make

247
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: it because you're like, oh, I was on the first

248
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: level of this. It kind of is. And especially before

249
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: you have a record deal on your own and you're

250
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you're not hearing yourself on the radio, then you just

251
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of feel like, Okay, I'm in I am in

252
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: this business somehow because I'm you know, I'm I'm I'm contributing.

253
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: And then the first time I heard myself on the

254
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: radio was as a harmony singer. I um Kathy Mattea

255
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: asked me to sing on a record of hers called

256
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: time passes by and I could hear my high harmony

257
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: and for me to hear myself singing on the radio,

258
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: that was the first time and it was like okay,

259
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: so every step was like a little step closer and

260
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: closer to where I wanted to be. We just did

261
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: a whole show about background singers and background singers that

262
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: you may not know we're singing background and some of

263
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: the ones that we talked about where recently we're Stableton

264
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: singing with Luke Brian and drink a beer. We went

265
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: back to your so vain from um Carly um Carli

266
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: Simon with make Jagger who just happened to be in

267
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: the studio and was like I'll sing and you know

268
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: he's not credited or when the Beatles did. Uh, But

269
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: we did all this whole this whole show about background

270
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: singers and you may not know who the famous background

271
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: singer was kind of crossing on the wallflowers things like that.

272
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: But like you mentioned, you know, you saying, harmon, do

273
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: you sing background records? That was a step up from

274
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: demo singing when they had hired to come and sing

275
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: the backgrounds of the harmonies. Yeah, and I because you

276
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: were doing something that was for a record label that

277
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: was potentially going to get played on the radio. And

278
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I saying, you know, I think Garth Garth says,

279
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how many songs he's got, but I

280
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: mean I was singing on like a hundred songs of

281
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: his and sometimes you know, it's sometimes you don't know

282
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: it's me, but um. And he did the same for me.

283
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: He's singing on some of my records that you wouldn't

284
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: know he's singing on UM. And then Leroy Pornella sang

285
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: for as I saying with Vince Gill, I sang um.

286
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: I just I mean pretty much because I loved singing

287
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: harmony and I was good at it, and I was inexpensive,

288
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, so as a demo singer, you're like, I

289
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: come in, I know the song, I can sing home pitch,

290
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: and I can do my own harmonies, and you know,

291
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: twenty bucks, maybe forty if there's harmony, if there's more

292
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: than one harmony, and you're out the door. You know,

293
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: So it was a but you add those up in

294
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: a day and it was a pretty good living. So

295
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was I made better money

296
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: doing demos than I did as a receptionist, and then

297
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: I got a record deal, and then I was broke,

298
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, because then you stopped doing all of that,

299
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: and then you you're then you're in debt. And so

300
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: what's funny is, and this happens again to a lot

301
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: of my friends and people I know, is that you

302
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: as your profile goes up, you get poorer totally. And

303
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: it's a it's a weird juxtapossession of here you go.

304
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, well, I check this out, but you have

305
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: no time to do anything except kind of start over,

306
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: and you're not making any money. You know, they don't

307
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: give you an American idol. They don't give you a

308
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: bunch of money as soon you're not a record deal.

309
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: You know, they don't. And if they, whatever they give

310
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: you is to make your record, which is by the

311
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: way alone, because it back and then you pay it

312
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: all back and then you still don't own your record,

313
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: you know. So it's kind of a weird. It was

314
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: totally weird situation. Um. But yeah, and then when you do.

315
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I remember that the first money that I actually made,

316
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: which I never saw the check, but the first money

317
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: that came in was the second album, Hearts and Armor,

318
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: when it went platinum. I remember that there was there

319
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: was gonna be some actual money coming in, and um,

320
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: it went right back into reinvesting in what we were

321
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: doing next because we were going on tour, and we

322
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: were you know, you're paying a band, you gotta you

323
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: gotta bus, you gotta pay for and it's it's a lot,

324
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, so we never really saw it. It's so much.

325
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: I was looking, you know, because I have a comedy

326
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: band and we play some do you know, we do

327
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: a few thousand people and night. It's just pretty good

328
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: little shows and I do stand up and we do

329
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: some comedy songs in the full band plays. But just

330
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: to pay the band and travel every show, it's thousands

331
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars. I was looking at my business manager,

332
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: and you know, because I'm paying my drummer. You gotta

333
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: pay your basis, you gotta pay your tour manager. You're

334
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: paying and by the time you look at the whole thing,

335
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: it's thousands of dollars for every show. And if you're

336
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: new and some of my you know, people have been

337
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: opening acts and you're getting you know, five to seven

338
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: for opening spot one of these tours, right, you're paying

339
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: that to just get there. Oh yeah, you're you're not

340
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: making any money. And I think it's harder, even harder

341
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: now because artists, you know, they pretty much don't do

342
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: a deal anymore. That's not a three sixty deal, right,

343
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: so you don't get so now you're you're used to

344
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: be that, you're you know, your money is, you're paying

345
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: everybody you have, you have all the responsibility, you pay

346
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: all the expenses. You're the last person paid. And now

347
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: a percentage of everything you make is going to your

348
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: record label, including your live show, including your merchandise, through

349
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: every single thing. So it sounds like, oh for me,

350
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: but I think people just assume, oh, they're just all

351
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: rolling in the dough, and it's really it's really for

352
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: ninety five of artists, it's a really hard job that

353
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: has you in debt. I mean, it's it's not it's

354
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: not you have to you have to do it because

355
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: you love it, you know, it's the I would say

356
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: it's the one percent of the one percent who make money,

357
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: because it's the one percent to get to this town

358
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: and be able to just be so good and good

359
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: meaning you've done the work to also be good, to

360
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: be so good that you get a shot and you

361
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: get signed, and that's just a shot. And then to

362
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: be the one percent who gets signed and actually can

363
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: make money and make a longer of it, it's the

364
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: one it's the point one percent of people who can actually,

365
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, make money. It's it's way more difficult than

366
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: I think some people think it is. Yeah, and I

367
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: think I think especially now with there's so many ways

368
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: if you don't have any kind of connection into the

369
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: music industry, there's so many ways now to get your

370
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: stuff out there with social media and YouTube and all

371
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: that that everybody does think, oh, I'll just do this

372
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: and I'll be famous or whatever. And even if you

373
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: become a sensation on YouTube, it doesn't guarantee, you know,

374
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: the the goal is longevity, and that's not easy to

375
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: do these online musicians. I was reading about a rapper,

376
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: young Dolf. I don't know who he was either. Maybe

377
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: you do, maybe don't you see the look in my eyes.

378
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't know he was. He was eating

379
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: at a cracker barrel. It's old Dolf's kid. Yeah, of course,

380
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: and do senor the whole generation of Dolfs. He had

381
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: a golf video. I think he was eating at a

382
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: cracker barrel, and he had five hundred thousand dollars of

383
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: jewelry in his car. There was they bust out his window.

384
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: It was all in his car. They stole it all

385
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: out of there. And I'm like, how did this dude

386
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: make five hundred thousand dollars? He's an online rapper. He's

387
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: a rapper who made it online. I don't know always

388
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: get that money. But some of these YouTubers can make

389
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: a quick pop, but you got to sustain that. But

390
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: half million dollars in a car? Are you kidding me?

391
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: And first of all, where's your business? Where someone telling

392
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: you to not? Nobody was half a million dogs with

393
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: the toury and nobody's te he was half a million

394
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: doges with the jewelry. Besides maybe like Liz Taylor, I

395
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: don't know jewel and in a car. Yeah, so someone

396
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: busted out the window. It was a camouflage wagon busted

397
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: at the crack. And I'm like, get the cracker barrel.

398
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: He's also gonna get the cracker barrel. There's there's some irish,

399
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: so many things wrong with his story. I can't even

400
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: when did like the for you? When did they start

401
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: to be Hey, we gotta get this music online? What part?

402
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: What stage? Um, like a couple of weeks ago, just Tricia,

403
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm sort of in the last man standing. Um. Sorry,

404
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I h it's it's hard because I come from a

405
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: different kind of a different era, you know, of the

406
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: way music was made and sold, and I am also

407
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: wanting to be current, so I want to do things

408
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: the way things are being done. I know people consume

409
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: music in such a different way. Um. And this was

410
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: really the album, This Let's be Frank album was the

411
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: one that I said, Okay, let's just put it everywhere

412
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: because we just what we want is for as many

413
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: people to discover it as possible. So let's put it

414
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: in every single possible form we can, which is why

415
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: if you buy the album or you buy the vinyl,

416
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: there's a digital download inside. We're on all the streaming. Um.

417
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: We just want we just want to get it out there.

418
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I it's tough for me because I

419
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: as a as a listener and a consumer of music,

420
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: I consume that same way. So if I if I

421
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: want to hear a song and I and I go

422
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: to YouTube and watch the video, then I might be

423
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: less likely to buy the record. So what's going to

424
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: motivate me to buy it if I can just hear

425
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: it in all these places for free. But at the

426
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: same time, you have to get it out there for

427
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: people to hear. So, um, we just said, let's go

428
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: for it. Why do I play for the last time?

429
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: This is from the Let's Be Frank album. I have

430
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: it here, I have it on vinyl time I'm in love.

431
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: The last time my love was luck with no Melity.

432
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: This is the next to last track on the record.

433
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: I just look at the track list. You have a

434
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: vinyl you gave me here. Do you listen to things

435
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: on vinyl? I do? You know? What's really cool is

436
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: that it makes me listen to albums again all the

437
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: way through, which is because it's hard to skip. I

438
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: agree with that. So and there's reasons for the the

439
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: way records are made in a certain order. It was

440
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time that I had

441
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: to think about, what do you want to start side

442
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: B with? You know, It's like I haven't thought about

443
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: that in a long time. You know. Is it a

444
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: different order than if you were to stream the record

445
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: that you did the album the vinyl with? Yes, because

446
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: because of that, because you want and on vinyl. One

447
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: of the reasons that we moved away from vinyl as

448
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: a format is because it can only handle a certain

449
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: amount of time on the on the vinyl before it

450
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: starts to lose the quality of the record. Well, no,

451
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: it's it's actually the minutes on the record, so like

452
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: something over twenty two minutes aside, something about the grooves

453
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: in the vinyl makes the sound quality go go the

454
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: other way. So so there's that, you know. So we

455
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: actually had another song. We dropped a song on this

456
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: off of this to make it fit on the vinyl,

457
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: and then I decided not to add it back on CD.

458
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: You can put as many as you want. Um, I

459
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: didn't want to. I didn't do that because I didn't

460
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: want there to be something somewhere that went anywhere else.

461
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: So that's a consideration. And then you have to think about, well,

462
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: if somebody's gonna flip this record over, how does it's

463
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: almost like a a six song playlist on each side?

464
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: Here is come fly with Me, Come Fly with Me.

465
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: That's fly Let's fine. Did you find that songs like this,

466
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: the more legendary songs, were a little harder to do

467
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: because everybody knows them because I would be like, I

468
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: just don't want to screw this up. Everybody knows yes.

469
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: And also interestingly, the big, huge, lush symphony ballads, we're

470
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: not as hard as the lighter like come Fly with Me,

471
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: kind of the jazzy, more rhythmic things, because you find

472
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: yourself trying to think about being cool when you're singing it,

473
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: and you have to not think about it. You have

474
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: to just like you have to go, look, you know

475
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: what to sing, don't overthink it, don't worry about it,

476
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: just sing it. Um. But yes, I mean come Fly

477
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: with Me, one for my Baby, one for the Road.

478
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Those are such quintessential Frank songs, right, so you just

479
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: have to hope that people know that you are just

480
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: trying to show your respect. And with Frank, it's such

481
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: a weird thing because you want to do it right

482
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: because of Frank's legend. However, people love Frank and if

483
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: you don't do it right. I just I danced to

484
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: Frank's Natra song I Dance with Stars, and people were

485
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: lighting me up because I wasn't great at the dancer.

486
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: It's like, how would you disrepect Frank Sinatra? And I

487
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: was like, I'm dancing. This isn't I didn't New York,

488
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: New York, and they were like, how would you just like?

489
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: I dance a good I could a lot of dancer.

490
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: I just liked the song. But I saw then a

491
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: little bit how pissy people would get when you wouldn't

492
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: do everything wonderfully. What you have to do is you

493
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: have to just understand that if you I know that

494
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: my respect level for him and his music is high.

495
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I know that my intention was to make a record

496
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: that was mine but also was a very uh you know,

497
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: specific tribute to him. And there's got to be somebody

498
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: out there that is like, really, what does this country

499
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: chicks thinking doing a Sinatra record? But I really don't care.

500
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of like, if you're gonna do it,

501
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, you go out and you dance your heart out,

502
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones, and you don't worry about what I worried

503
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: about whatever. But it thought because I wasn't for the

504
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: last Um, let's be Frank's out. Um. I should mention

505
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: that first song that we played, that's the one that

506
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: you and Garth wrote, right, is that that's what you

507
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: told me. We talked about it on the radio show.

508
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: No Yeah, we um, yeah that one. So I came

509
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: home with, um, this title in my head and I

510
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: think I told you when we talked before that you

511
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: know Garcia one and all the songwriter Hall of Fames,

512
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, I don't. I'm not really a

513
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: confident writer, and I tend to do things that come

514
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: easy to me, but if they're a little bit of work,

515
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 1: I give up pretty quickly. I'm good at that. And uh,

516
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: writing is one of those things that I mean, I've

517
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: written all my cookbooks and their stories about my life

518
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: and my family, but they're not poems. They don't rhyme,

519
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: they're not you know, I'm not a poet like Garth is,

520
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: but he is. So it worked out really well and

521
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: we worked on this together, and I really I would

522
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: I would not have. I didn't intend to write a

523
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: song for the record. It wasn't didn't happen at the

524
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: same time. But um, when the song was finished, it

525
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: felt like a throwback to another era. So when this

526
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: album came about, it felt like the place to put it.

527
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: It fits with all the other songs too, Like I

528
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: if I would have just played it and not known. Um, yeah, sorry,

529
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm just off the end of a cold

530

Speaker 1: something like that. Do you heard the first time that

557
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: you ever went and sang with him? Or was he

558
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: just wanted the singers you were popping into way? No?

559
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, actually I met Garth Um. It's kind of

560
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: a famous story. Now. We were introduced by a guy

561
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: named Kent Blazie who wrote um if Tomorrow Never Long?

562
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: And I did demos for Kent. So when during those

563
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: demo days, when I was driving around with the cassette

564
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: in my car, UM, Kent was one of the first

565
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: guys I met in Nashville, long before I met Garth.

566
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: And so Kent had a studio in his attic of

567
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: his house and I would go over to his house

568
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and I would sing, and Kent kept saying, I'm working

569
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: with this other guy, and UM, you guys need to

570
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: meet each other. I feel like you guys would really

571
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: get along. And he needed he needs to call you

572
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: to do some of his chick singer demos and like cool,

573
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: and Garth was, um, didn't have a record do it yet.

574
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: I think he had just signed with Capital, didn't have

575
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: an album out yet. And um, so one day Kent

576
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: hired us uh for to do a demo a duet.

577
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: So we met at Kent's house in the attic for

578
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: ten bucks a song. And Garth says he didn't get

579
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: paid anything that day, but I think he got ten

580
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: bucks that day. And um, that was the day that

581
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: we met. So we met before he was you know, famous.

582
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: And I remember him saying, because that day he said

583
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: he went to Bob Dull, his manager, and said this

584
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: girl like you've got to hear this girl sing. I

585
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: UM remember him saying, you know, I just got signed

586
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: to Capital, I'm about to put up my first album,

587
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: and I hope some day, you know, we can work

588
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: together and uh if I'm lucky enough to do well

589
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: and whatever. And remember when he left, I thought, that's cool,

590
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I thought, this guy's got really big dreams.

591
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope, you know, like he's he's not

592
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: even released his album yet and he's asking me to,

593
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, be on his tour kind of thing. And

594
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: then of course he became Garth Brooks and after that

595
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: first album, UM, then he called me to come and

596
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 1: sing on the second album, and so it was songs

597
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 1: like um uh Cole's Shoulder when that on the second album,

598
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: Cole Shoulder was on the second album. UM, I missed

599
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: the Friends in the Places day I was out of

600
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: town on Toury literally missed that day, which really bummed

601
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: me out because there's like everybody's on that song and

602
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: I wanted to be on that record and it wasn't um.

603
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: But fast forward to when I got my record deal

604
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years later, and uh, by that time,

605
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Friends and the Places was out and he was this phenomenon,

606
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, and so he he said, let's go over

607
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: to m c A and go see Tony Brown and

608
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: about seeing if you want to come out on tour

609
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: with me. And everybody was wanting to be on that tour.

610
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it was like the tour to be on.

611
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: And so when we got to the front desk, the receptionist,

612
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: Willie she Um called back to Tony and said Garth

613
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: and Trisher here, and Garth Fondis is my producer, so

614
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: Tony thought it was me and my producer. And so

615
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: I walked in with Garth Brooks and he's like, i'd

616
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: like to want I like to talk to you about

617
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe taking Trisha on this tour, and of course I

618
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: was like yes, you know. So for me it was

619
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: kind of a blessing and a curse because I had

620
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: grown up doing demos. I had not grown up in

621
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: the clubs. I had not come up through learning my

622
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: way in front of a small crowd of drunks. So

623
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: my very first audiences were opening for Garth and you know,

624
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: doing a set in front of fifteen thousand people who

625
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: didn't know who I was. That was my first and

626
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: of course Garth being Garth, you know, most of the time,

627
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: if you're on a big tour like at the artist

628
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: has all their stuff and then there's a big curtain

629
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: in front of it and you've got about three ft

630
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: to stand in front of them do your show, which

631
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: would have been a dream coming true for me because

632
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: I was terrified. And of course Garth's like, here, use

633
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: my whole stage, you know, and I'm like, oh, that's

634
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: so great, So that was it was terrifying, but I

635
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: had to It was really baptism by fire, you know.

636
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: And I had Shees and Loved the Boy out, which

637
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: was doing well, but that was the only song I

638
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: had on the radio, so people spent either the entire

639
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: twenty minutes I was out there getting popcorn or yelling

640
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: for Sheason Loved the Boy, you know, until that was

641
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: my last song. Is that the first song of yours

642
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: that you heard on the radio? Yeah, She's in Love

643
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: with the Boy? Yeah, and play that one a little bit.

644
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: Did you know it was coming when you heard it

645
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: the first time? I remember exactly where I was. I

646
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: was just I was right down the street here in

647
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Green Hills, driving down the road in a had a

648
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: four door Burgundy Honda used and I was driving down

649
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: that road and I heard it come on, and I

650
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: rolled all the windows down, and I don't know why.

651
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: I guess I thought I wanted everybody on the street

652
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: to hear too. I don't. I mean, it was like this,

653
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: you know, just this whole your whole body lights up,

654
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, and um, it was the most exciting thing

655
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: in the world because I had literally wanted to be

656
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: a singer since I was five years old, and I

657
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: remember listening to the radio and my mom's and dad's

658
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: kitchen in our house, thinking I was naive enough to think, well,

659
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: they're on the radio, why can't I be? And I

660
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: think that's part of the reason that I became one

661
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: of those one percent, because I didn't know the odds.

662
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what the odds were, and I really

663
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: just believable. If they can do it, why can't I

664
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: do it? Did you feel when you were working at

665
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: the front desk and people would come into work in

666
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: a profession that you wanted to do, that you were

667
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: as good as they were already? Because I know it's

668
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: frustrating when people are doing what you want to do,

669
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: But did you feel like, oh, I'm I'm there talent wise,

670
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: it's just gotta put in my time. My thing was

671
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: I believed in my voice. I believed that I had

672
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: a voice and that I could sing. But I'm I'm

673
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: basically an introvert. I mean, I'm not like I grew

674
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: up watching Barbara Mandrell on television and she played every

675
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: instrument and she danced and she did all this stuff,

676
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: and I was not. I'm not that kind of an entertainer,

677
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: and so I really thought, um, you know, I'm I

678
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: can sing, I'm a little bit overweight. I don't play

679
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: an instrument. Really, I can play a little bit of guitar,

680
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: but I don't. So I didn't think I had enough.

681
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: I thought, I've got this one skill that I believe in,

682
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: but I don't have all these other ones. So I

683
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: think for me it was I did have a strong

684
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: belief in myself, and I don't think if I didn't,

685
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be sitting here. But at the same time,

686
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: I had all these doubts about the things that I

687
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: thought I needed to be able to do before I

688
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: could be be successful at it. So you felt you

689
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 1: had to develop. Even then you felt like you need

690
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: to develop a bit more. Yet no, no, I mean.

691
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: And I went to Belmont where there were so many

692
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: music majors, and you couldn't you throw a stick without

693
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: somebody telling you what a great singer they were, you know,

694
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: And I was not that girl. And even actually at

695
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: at MTM Records, Um, after I got my record deal,

696
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: there were people at that building who said, we didn't

697
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: even know, we didn't know sang. Really, yeah, so you

698
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: weren't you aren't one of the ones that were like, hey,

699
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: I sing i sing I was not. I was not.

700
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: How did you change that? Then? How did you start

701
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: telling people I sing i sing? I think it was

702
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: because I was shy and I wasn't bold about telling

703
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: people I was a singer. But after working at that

704
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: label for about six months and answering the phones and

705
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: ordering liquid paper and not and watching people do what

706
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to do, I realized, if I don't tell

707
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: somebody this is what I do, if I don't really

708
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: get off my butt and try to make this happen,

709
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: then I'm going to get to do this for the

710
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: rest of my life. And I reconnected. I had UM.

711
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: I had a couple of songwriters, one was camp Lazy

712
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: that I had done demos for, and I UM. I

713
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: just found those guys again and said, hey, I'm trying

714
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: to find I'm trying to get some demo work, and

715
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: demo work was my way out. Once I started to

716
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: get enough work that I could actually quit my job.

717
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Who was it for you that took the big shot

718
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: like you? We went, Wow, this person really like put

719
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: it out there for me to believed in me, when

720
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: maybe they didn't have to. I mean there was, there

721
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: were several were a lot of people. The chain of

722
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: events were the two Garth's honestly, because when I met

723
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: Garth Brooks, he was the person who introduced me to

724
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: Alan Reynolds, his producer, and Alan was really a great

725
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: friend to me because Alan gave me advice based on

726
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: what he thought was best for me, not what he

727
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: thought I could maybe do for him. And he was

728
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: the guy who said you should meet Garth Fundis. He's

729
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: a guy who I feel like you guys really hit

730
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: it off. And Fundus was the one who, when he

731
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: heard me seeing said let's do a showcase. He's the

732
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: one who went to bat for me at the record

733
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: labels and to help me get a record deal. And

734
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: he was the one who helped me get the music

735
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: that was in my head on to tape what I

736
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: what I really wanted, how I really wanted to sound,

737
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: and the music kind of music that I wanted to make.

738
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: So it was it was really all of those people together,

739
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: because I would never met Garth Fundus if it wouldn't

740
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: have been for Garth Brooks um and so I guess

741
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: it really was, you know, ended up being my husband

742
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: the one that really believed in me. That that was

743
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: like the Stargeant telling everybody about me. And he didn't

744
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: even have a single on the radio, so he was

745
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: doing that before. He was, Yeah, freaking Garth Brooks. He

746
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: was just a guy named Garth. He just he was

747
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: a less famous guard probably the time. And he was.

748
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: And then it was like I knew two Guarths. Now.

749
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: Eventually the guy there's a guy who's a tour manager's

750
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: name is Garth and he came in and um did

751
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: an interview for a job, and I told him, I said,

752
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: you're probably great at what you do, but I can't

753
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: know you, like I just can't, Like I I have

754
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: two guards in my life. It's already too weird, Like

755
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. That's a true story that happened.

756
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: That's a lot of guards. I mean, even two guards.

757
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: I know obviously your husband a bit. I don't know

758
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: any other Garths I know. It's so it's so odd.

759
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: And actually if we're all in the studio together, which happens,

760
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: it's very strange, you know. So actually I started calling

761
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: Garth fund As Tennessee because I'm like, I have to

762
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: have like a nickname for you. Because I can't because

763
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: I'd say Guarth. They both with their head around, you know,

764
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: like because they never hear anybody else called Garth. So yeah,

765
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a thing on on this new

766
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Let's Be Frank record. You went and recorded, did you

767
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: say you recorded like with the like the mic that

768
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra used. Does that mic just chill there or

769
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: they like bring it out for special occasions they use it.

770
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, Capital is like a working museum,

771
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: you know. I mean you walk and you think this

772
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: stuff should be behind glass. But I guess it's cool

773
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: that you actually get to use this stuff. But at

774
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: the same time, it's like it's Sinatra's microphone and um

775
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: and the bar stools in there, the straight back chairs,

776
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: they're they're like, there's tons of photos of Frank and

777
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: and Judy Garland and Dean Martin. All this stuff is

778
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: that is the Capital gear, and I guess that's part

779
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: of the vibe. I mean, you definitely feel the ghosts

780
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: in this room when you're in there. But I would

781
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: be afraid to use all that stuff. But I mean

782
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: some of the best microphones, like Nashville, where where I

783
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: make my country records I use. I used this annoyment.

784
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: It's called C twelve and it's a Now it's a

785
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: microphone that I've used for years because I like how

786
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: it my voice can tend to if I get loud

787
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: at either the Michael shut down or the Michael sound really,

788
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: I'll sound really tinny and high ending, and I don't.

789
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: I want it to still sound warm, and that's a challenge.

790
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: And the other thing is if they put a compressor

791
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: on your voice, then you can handle the big lud,

792
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: but it just still shut your voice down. So it's

793
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: a thing. So there's this one microphone that I love,

794
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: and I've been trying to buy this microphone forever because

795
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: there are you can put four the same exact side

796
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: by side, but there's one that's gonna sound different. And

797
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: I've been stalking this microphone for years, and I finally

798
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: I bought it, like last week. Yeah, finally finally they

799
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: sold Um. Not not terrible, but it's it's yeah, but

800
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: hard to get. And it's an old microphone. So so

801
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: this microphone is probably years old. So it is a

802
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: it's that it's one of those things that doesn't that

803
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: that time is a friend too. It doesn't make it

804
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: like old. This is just old. There is something sweet

805
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: about it. And I will say that that that Frank

806
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: microphone was warm and friendly, and it just made your

807
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: voice feel like butter, and you just felt like you

808
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: could sing anything. One of the things that I would

809
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: compare it because I am very particular abou the mics

810
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: that I use every day, right, because I talk every day,

811
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: so mikes are important to me, and also headphones. But

812
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: I would compare them to people who don't. If you

813
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: don't work in music or sound like the you can

814
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: have ten pair of jeans that are exactly the same,

815
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: but one of those pair of jeanes is gonna fit

816
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: you so just right. You may have three pairs you

817
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: own it the same, but that one pair you always

818
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: go back to because it just feels the best. And

819
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: you can't really explain it so much like a little bit.

820
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: You can maybe it fits you a little better here,

821
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: but you're like, oh, this one just feels better, Like

822
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: it fits me better. That's how I describe abology, and

823
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: and the microphone too, and what you hear in your headphones,

824
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: it's so um subjective, right, So it's whatever feels good

825
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: to you. And sometimes it's hard to describe if especially

826
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: if I'm in the studio and the engineer is um

827
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: ask me what I need. Sometimes it's hard to say

828
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: exactly what it's doing. But if you're if you've worked

829
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: with somebody long enough, you can kind of say I

830
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: feel this way or that way and they're like, oh,

831
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: I got it, and they'll they'll figure it out. That's

832
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: the one thing I've really enjoyed about making records with

833
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: Garth Fondis, who we've made it most of our records

834
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: with and we just finished in a country record now,

835
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: is that we've worked together for so long that I

836
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: can tell him something's not right and I don't know

837
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: exactly what it is, but I but something in here

838
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: is bugging me. And he'll usually go, oh, I bet

839
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: you don't like the blah blah blah here, let's turn

840
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: that down. He he knows me well enough to kind

841
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: of know. So we have a language That is nice

842
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: because I can't always articulate what I want, but he

843
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: seems to know. Then. It's funny because the analogy I

844
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: used for that is like if you're getting like a massage,

845
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to say exactly where it hurts, but if

846
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: they like confined it, you're like, oh, that's it, that's it.

847
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: That's right there, Like that's that's how adjusting something that

848
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: you really can't explain is. Yeah, that's for sure. Oh

849
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: you gotta come back a little bit there, right there,

850
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: right there there it is. That's that's also the sound

851
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: I do. I get a massage when you do from

852
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: this Let's be Frank record. Will you do any of

853
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: these songs live? Yeah? Um we we just did our

854
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: first show um at the Rainbow Room in New York, um,

855
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: fitting for the Frank Record. And it was the first

856
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: time I had done all of these songs. And it's

857
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: really funny. You'll find this funny. I think I had

858
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: done a few of the songs, but I hadn't done

859
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: the whole show. And I've been doing a lot of

860
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: press in New York that week, and um, I had

861
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: a long day. It was one of those morning shows

862
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: where I got up at four and then I had

863
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: to show that night. And in about three o'clock that afternoon,

864
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: before sound check, it hit me, I haven't done these songs, Like,

865
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I know all the words. Did?

866
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: They all laughed and the ladies of Tramp. There's a

867
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: lot of verses, and there's a lot going on here,

868
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: and I'm nervous. And as the Rainbow Room innutes New York,

869
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: and so I spent a couple of hours while I

870
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: was getting made hair, makeup, and everybody's coming and asking

871
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: me questions, listening and listening and listening. So I was

872
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: terrified that night because I thought, I can't go out

873
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: of here and this. I've been waiting to do this

874
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: record for twenty years, and I don't remember all the

875
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: words to the ladies of Tramp, like I will be

876
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: I will be carried out of here, you know, record

877
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: on their phone right exactly. Um. And but I did.

878
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: I did find it was a good night. It was

879
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: a good night. But I was terrified. UM. And I

880
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: loved it, like I loved singing these songs. We did

881
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: a few of like we did She's Loved the Boy,

882
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: and we did um walk Away Joe. But I kind

883
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: of couldn't wait to get to these songs just because UM.

884
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: And when we do, when we do a tour, we'll

885
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: do some of the songs that people know me for,

886
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: but we'll also do these. It's just I don't know

887
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: how we're gonna do it because you kind of want

888
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: you're it's kind of changing into a different mode, and

889
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: when you're in that mode, you kind of want to

890
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: stay there. So we'll see how we do it. I've

891
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: done some symphony shows before before I made this record, um,

892
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: and I have some really cool orchestra arrangements for some

893
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: of those songs. But um, so we'll see that expensive

894
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: talking about expensive band orchestra, yeah, I mean yes, I

895
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: mean that's the thing. You know, a lot of people

896
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: don't use live orchestra anymore because it's so expensive. L

897
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: A was good and they get a lot of work

898
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: because they had a lot of movie scores and stuff.

899
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: But um, fifty pieces. I mean, you know, this album

900
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: will have to do well for me to do another

901
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: one because it's really a lot of money and you

902
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: don't have to do that anymore. But I can't imagine

903
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: having done this another way. To be in the room

904
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: with everybody, it's almost like you're all taking in same

905
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: breath in and out, and the conductors across from you

906
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: and he's looking at you for a signal of how

907
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: long do you want to pause here and how and

908
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: you're all working together and it feels like you're just

909
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: another instrument in the room. And I can't imagine doing

910
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: it another way. It was, It's one of the coolest

911
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: things ever. Would you use a prompter, let's say the

912
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: words you just didn't have it? Would you put a

913
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: prompter up? I mean, I hope I've never done that.

914
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: I hope not, because here's what. Here's what I find.

915
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 1: If I'm doing an award show or something and they

916
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: they'll have the prompter. I even if I if I'm

917
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,359
Speaker 1: singing She's a Love of the Boy, which I sang

918
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: a million times, and I know I'm gonna I'm gonna

919
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: look at the prompter, you know. So I feel like

920
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: it's a thing that makes you look. And I've been

921
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: to shows and seeing people use prompter and I find

922
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: them staring at the prompter, and so I don't want

923
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: to be that girl. So as long as I can

924
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: remember the words, and if I forget words, I just

925
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: blame someone else, like I blame the microphone. I pretend

926
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: something's wrong, you know, like I have lots of ways

927
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: around it, or I just acknowledge I totally totally forgot

928
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: the words. Um. I'd rather do that, I think than UM.

929
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: And I have a pretty good memory for lyrics. So

930
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: as long as I do, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep

931
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: doing that. You mentioned Walkaway Joe, and we'll play that

932
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: just for a bit here, A song like that that

933
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:03,959
Speaker 1: you're saying to thousand times, right, do you go into

934
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: a mode of like when you drive, you know you're driving,

935
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: but you've driven this way so many times that you

936
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: probably are doing most of that driving subconsciously? Do you

937
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: do that with these massive songs where it's just like

938
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: you're so comfortable it's hard to not fall back into

939
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: the subconscious place of just singing the song. I mean,

940
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: I would would be lying if I said I'd never

941
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: done that. But the time, I I'm so dramatic, and

942
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: I love a story, and I always make myself a

943
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: character in the story. So if in that in Walkaway Joe,

944
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm a character for those three and a half minutes,

945
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: you know. So I really get lost in the lyric

946
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: of a song, and I enjoy that. That's part of

947
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: what I get out of live performing. So I will

948
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: say that I I'm sure I've done it, but I

949
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: also do really think about this. This is something that

950
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: that I learned on the garth tour, there's gonna be

951
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: somebody in the audience who's never seen you before and

952
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: it's never going to see you again, and the only

953
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: time they're ever going to hear walk Away Joe Live

954
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: is this moment, And so I don't really want to

955
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: be making my mental grocery list while they're in there

956
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: for that moment. And I do think about that before

957
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 1: I go out. So um, I'm sure I've done it,

958
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: but I try not to do it. And Mickey Mantle

959
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: would say, there's always somebody in in the stands who

960
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: has never seen Mickey Mantle before and will never see

961
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle again, So I gotta go out and make

962
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: it special for that person. But it's such a hard

963
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: thing to do because you see you do it so often.

964
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: Do you in Carthey keep to the pep talks? Because

965
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: I've never met either one of you together separately, and

966
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: you're not just awesome, and it's almost annoying where it's

967
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: like I would like to I'd like to catch you

968
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: on off day because that just means you're human. You know,

969
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: you guys have never not been awesome to me. Well,

970
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm more human than him. I mean I think he

971
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons that I have um

972
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: more of a grateful, positive outlook in life in general

973
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: is because of him, because he he looks at everything

974
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: in a positive way. I mean, he will he will

975
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: spend the positive no matter what, And I think that

976
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: I I want to be that, but I'm not as

977
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: much so as him, but I am more so that

978
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: way with him in my life. And I think that

979
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,399
Speaker 1: there's just a I mean, honestly, when you really think

980
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: about it, what we get to do for a living,

981
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: if you really think about it, is so such a

982
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: great job. It's not even really a job. It's like

983
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting paid to have every day be different in

984
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: my life, and I get to go sing and I

985
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: get to basically set my own schedule, and I'm doing

986
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: what I have always wanted to do my whole life.

987
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: So I really, if I complain about that, someone should

988
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: really just punch me in the face. Can I be

989
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: Devil's advocate for a second? Yes, you sacrifice a lot.

990
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: You have a lot of talent. It's not that anybody

991
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: can do it. And you not only have a lot

992
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: of talent because a lot of people have talent, but

993
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: people don't have talent and work ethic, and again it's

994
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: that perfect mixture of the both and also catching a

995
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: couple of breaks and giving a couple of breaks. Like

996
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: it is. I agree with you because I feel the

997
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: same way. But again, it's not like it was handed

998
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: to you and you go out and go you know

999
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: what this this is given to me. I actually appreciate

1000
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: what was given to me, like you work so hard

1001
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: for it. Well, I think there is. I mean, I

1002
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: think it's a Will Rogers quote that something about um

1003
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: luck is disguised in overalls and something. I felt like

1004
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of work. But I mean, I think

1005
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: it is a drive that makes the work feel like

1006
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: not work really, because it's you're so driven. I don't.

1007
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: I always say, I don't feel like I chose this,

1008
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: Like I never I didn't wake up one day and go, hey,

1009
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: I think it'd be really cool to be a singer.

1010
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I was, and it felt like a

1011
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: calling and it was almost It was hard when I

1012
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: couldn't do it because as a young girl and as

1013
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: a teenager in a small town where nobody did what

1014
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to do, I didn't know how to go

1015
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: about it. And that was the most frustrating part. Once

1016
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: I got to Nashville. Then I'm like, Okay, I'm here now,

1017
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna be here and I'm gonna I'm

1018
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: just gonna figure it out. There's a drive there. And

1019
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: I am a person who I like balance. So like yesterday,

1020
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have anything on my schedule yesterday, and I say,

1021
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: to my pajamas most of the day, I play with

1022
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: my dogs, I read a book, I had coffee and

1023
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: I loved it. But I couldn't. I couldn't do that

1024
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: every day. I need this. This has been a great day.

1025
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: It's been a really busy day. I've had the best day.

1026
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: So it's a it's and it's because I'm doing what

1027
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: I enjoy. Yeah, I feel the same way. And I

1028
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: work really hard but also love what I do, which

1029
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: makes me work really hard, which is because I love.

1030
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a nice little circle. Yeah, the

1031
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: recycle arrows almost. It's like, you do have to figure

1032
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: out the balance when you have I don't have that yet.

1033
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody I don't even life balance? Let

1034
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: me know. Um, yeah, I don't know. If I can help,

1035
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: you don't tell them. I don't drink though, because it

1036
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: runs the whole thing. I want to talk abou need

1037
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: that though, Bobby, we have to find you. We have

1038
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: to find you that balance. You need it because you

1039
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: will just work all the time if you don't have

1040
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: a bad Well, that's what I do. Here's my cycle

1041
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: is that I go, I'm gonna work all the time

1042
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: because if I work hard, I gets because called that

1043
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: somebody will like me. Right, And then I work all

1044
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: the time and I don't build my my ecosystem of

1045
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: friends and folks. And so when I go, you know what,

1046
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna work. I'm gonna take a second and

1047
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: I take a break, and there's no go system a

1048
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: friend that folks on me because I haven't built. It's

1049
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: like being a gardener. We're not playing in the garden

1050
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: for my food. We didn't plan an idiot. That's why

1051
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: it's like, that's what I'm saying to myself. And then

1052
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, it's screwed this. I don't want

1053
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 1: to be I don't have system's gonna keep working. So

1054
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: it never end. After you've been through all the Netflix

1055
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: you can watch, then it's time to go back to work. Yeah,

00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,440

00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: everything that you know from abducted in plain Site so disturbing.

1060

Speaker 1: I couldn't I couldn't help myself to Dirty John too.

1062
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: a Disney movie, although usually someone dies in the first

1063
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: five minutes, so that's not good when need to find

1064
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: something else that abducted a plain sight so disturbing, so

1065
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: incredibly disturbing. I'm glad it was only one episode. I

1066
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: would've done in a second one. Yeah. I get excited

1067
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: when I find me too. I get excited when I

1068
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 1: find out a show that I love has new episodes

1069
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: that I didn't know so that I can bange watch.

1070
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: So I just figured out the second half of the

1071
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: last of this current season of Shameless is out and

1072
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: I didn't know it. So yesterday and I was in

1073
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: my pajamas, I got to watch like four episodes in

1074
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: a row that I had not seen, and I was

1075
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: so excited because I love that show. Um, you watched

1076
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: Ted Bundy tapes? I did. That's that's I can't wait

1077
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: to the movie. I can't wait to see the movie

1078
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: movies and it's it's a Netflix movie too, is it. Yeah,

1079
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: so it'll be right right into our even the great

1080
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: isn't The great thing about Netflix movies is that I

1081
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: didn't even tell you they're coming, so you don't sit

1082
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: there and go, I can't wait. I can't wait. It's

1083
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: like boom, you got a movie and I love it.

1084
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: It's ramy. I was a kid. I was in high

1085
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: school when um or Junior High was. It was eighties, right,

1086
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 1: so I was in high school. So when that story

1087
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: was real and a thing, it was before cell phones.

1088
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: It was also really before like serial murders. It was

1089
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: like that was kind of the beginning. So I remember,

1090
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: and one of my best friends who lives here in

1091
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: Nashville is from Seattle, and she she there's that that

1092
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: park that one of the girls was. She was in

1093
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: that park that day and um, she and her girlfriend

1094
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: saw a BW bug drive by and slow down and

1095
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: then they went and they ran, they ran into the woods,

1096
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like, maybe you, like if think you might

1097
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: have seen Ted Bundy that day. Like so it's it's

1098
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: terrifying when you realize that it's kind of happened when

1099
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: it could have happened to you as as a young girl.

1100
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: And also that it was kind of the beginning of

1101
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: this whole serial killer thing. So if you if you

1102
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: were alive during that time, I mean, our kids go, well,

1103
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't even understand it. I'm like, yeah,

1104
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: it was, it was a thing. It was a big deal.

1105
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: The craziest thing about that to me was state to

1106
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: state you could basically go do whatever you want in

1107
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: this state, just jump over the state line, and they

1108
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: didn't share records with each other. You're a brand new man,

1109
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: all right. I mean, isn't he the reason that there

1110
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: became like an FBI database because there wasn't one, right

1111
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: that and also the fact that he escaped jail twice

1112
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: blew my mind. He would practice jumping off his top

1113
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: cell to get his legs strong so we can jump

1114
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: out of the building. Then when he lost all the weight,

1115
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: so we could go through the little ceiling square in

1116
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: the ceiling to get out of me and come on, Yeah,

1117
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: that was crazy. And then I felt guilty when it

1118
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: was over because I really enjoyed it, Like I enjoyed

1119
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 1: the show of it, and I enjoyed learning the history

1120
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: of it, and I'm like, oh, I shouldn't feel that way.

1121
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: So then I watch like five episode of the Office

1122
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: to kind of cleanse myself something I do. Want to

1123
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: talk about this country record that you're gonna put out,

1124
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 1: I'll just call it. I would even call it a

1125
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: country record. I would say, your record another record, because

1126
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: like it's time right, Just is me talking like it's

1127
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: time right? Yes, I mean thank you, I mean yes,

1128
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think what happened, honestly was I didn't

1129
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: say I'm going to take several years off of making records.

1130
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 1: It just the tour with Garth plus the cooking show,

1131
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: which I you know, I never dreamed I would be

1132
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: doing all this other stuff. It's sort of became, well,

1133
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: I'll i'll make a record, I'll make a record, and

1134
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: it just kind of kept getting put on the back burner.

1135
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: And it is what feeds my soul. It is what

1136
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: I do. It is what brings me the most joy

1137
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: of all these things I do that I love. And

1138
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 1: so last year or two thousand eighteen, after the tour ended,

1139
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: I just made it a priority and like I'm making

1140
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: music this year. And that's how the Sinatra record happened,

1141
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: and then I started the country record, which I would

1142
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: call it a country record in uh in May, and

1143
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: we're mixing starting this week. So um, it was so

1144
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: much fun. It reminded me that that whole life is

1145
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: short and get get after it thing. I don't want

1146
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: to wait. I want to just keep making music. I'm

1147
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: not worried about at this point in my life. I'm

1148
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: not worried about how I'm going to get it out there.

1149
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: I'll figure that out. I mean, I don't know about radio,

1150
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about any of those things. But I

1151
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking about any of that in the studio. I

1152
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: was just finding songs that felt good. I laughed a lot,

1153
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: I sang a lot, I feel like my voice feel strong,

1154
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: I feel good, and I just I did what I do.

1155
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: If you're going to call yourself an artist, that's what

1156
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: you do. And then you figure out someone else will

1157
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: help you figure out how you get it out there.

1158
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: Do you guys record a song and songs that you

1159
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: obviously really love and go, oh, that could be the single?

1160
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: Like do you do you now? Are you leaning towards one?

1161
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: You're going I think this is the one that and

1162
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: whatever single means radio highlighted on playlist. You know it first.

1163
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: It's funny because at first I said, and I said, um,

1164
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm not making her. I'm not even to send this

1165
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: record radio Like, I'm just gonna make an album. I

1166
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care about having anything on the radio.

1167
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: And then as I started making the record and started

1168
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 1: listening to the songs and started like I love these songs,

1169
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, this could be a single, you know,

1170
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: And so so we're I'm just about at that place

1171
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: where I'm going to figure that out. But I it's

1172
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: funny because I guess it's ego or it's my own

1173
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: self confidence. But when I hear it, I go, I

1174
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: I can hear this on on the radio, So I mean,

1175
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: that'll be for a group of people to weigh in on.

1176
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: But I feel like, um, I feel like there's there's

1177
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: crea some things. And the cool thing is the hard

1178
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: thing is I'm fifty four, I'm a woman. There's so

1179
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: those are two big strikes against me for radio. But

1180
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: the good news is that there is more opportunity, I think,

1181
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: and openness to do things however you do them now,

1182
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: So it doesn't it's not as well. You've got to

1183
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: be on these three labels, and you can only get

1184
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: there's there's just a million ways to do it now,

1185
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: so I think there's While some things are harder, some

1186
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: things are easy year. So um, we'll see. I'm excited

1187
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 1: about it. Well, thank you. Yeah, I am too, I

1188
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: really am. I mean I when we made the this

1189
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: Let's be frank in the summer, I've been chomping at

1190
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,839
Speaker 1: the bit to get it out, and now that it's out,

1191
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm chomping at the bit to get the country record out.

1192
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: So um, I'm I'm very excited to come in and

1193
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. Yeah, don't send it to

1194
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: me early though, I will not listen to it. I

1195
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: will not send it to early right, not that you

1196
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: were going to, but don't send it to me early.

1197
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: What's good to know because I want to. I want

1198
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: to send it to you and you'll listen to it. Well,

1199
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: My thing is, I think you can be of the

1200
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: industry other people, right, one of the two. And I

1201
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: don't listen to music early because I don't want to

1202
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: be cooler than my people, and so some of my

1203
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: best friends will go won't listen to it. I just

1204
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: I have a rule, and it's also a slippery slope.

1205
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: But but it's mostly about I don't want to be

1206
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: of the industry and it gets me a trouble a lot.

1207
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: You know good and bad, you know Yin yang. But

1208
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: I just I won't because like I like to wake

1209
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: up on the Friday and I'll listen to it before

1210
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: I go to show sometimes sometimes after Never can I

1211
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: hear a full record before I go on the air.

1212
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: It takes an hour. Sometimes it's a weeds A record

1213
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: takes nineteen minutes one of the two. Um, and I

1214
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: like to experience it like my people experience it. And

1215
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: so yeah, like I'm excited if you come in early

1216
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: and we do an interview. This is what this is

1217
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: my moral dilemma. If you come in early, because sometimes

1218
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: let's say you're gonna go to press in New York,

1219
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to talk to me on

1220
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: album day, and you come in on a Wednesday and

1221
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: have to like play the clips. I feel like I'm

1222
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: dirty to my people because but I have to the interview.

1223
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: I feel bad I shouldn't hear this. It's like a

1224
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: baby that covers ear muffs from old school. Well, it's

1225
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: kind of like I will, like I want to go

1226
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: support the artists. So even for myself, like I have

1227
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 1: a thing where I go and buy my album on

1228
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: the first day. It's kind of like that. I mean,

1229
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: I um, and if somebody gives me an advanced copy

1230
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: of something, I still want to go buy it because

1231
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: I want all the artwork and I want I want

1232
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: everything I want to I want to have the original whatever.

1233
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: So I still do that since the very first album.

1234
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: I go and buy my my records every on the

1235
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: on release day. Let me mention trip to tailgate real quick.

1236
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: Tell me about that. So when we were doing the

1237
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: tour with Garth the last one, I guess I just

1238
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: didn't notice it because I mean, I'm a sports girl,

1239
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: so I know about tailgating, and that's the thing in

1240
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: Georgia especially, but um, everybody tailgates for these concerts and

1241
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: they're there all day long and they're just waiting and

1242
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: waiting for the show. So we thought we'd set up

1243
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: a big tent, make it a very cool, very nice

1244
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: tailgate if you want to come beforehand, seven or eight

1245
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: tricia dishes and drinks and games and we're gonna do

1246
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: food demos. It's just gonna be. It's kind of like

1247
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: the ultimate tailgate for about three hours before doors open

1248
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: to go in and see the stadium show. Yus are

1249
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: still giving to the fans. You know that you probably

1250
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: hear it some but you don't get here. People talk

1251
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: about you behind your back that often. But the thing

1252
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: that's said about both you and Garth and I said

1253
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: up to your face a minute ago, you guys are

1254
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: always great, and so we wonder are you real? Like

1255
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: you what's under that skin? I have to get back

1256
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: in my pod later. Yeah, do you walk into recharged

1257
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: like back in like the iPhone? But yeah, I mean,

1258
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: you guys are and I think that for a lot

1259
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: of artists it's something to look at, is that you

1260
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: guys really you know where my grandmaways say, well your

1261
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: bread is buttered and and I've learned from you guys too,

1262
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: And but I also know that my people got me

1263
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: here there. I want to be doing this, I want

1264
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: to be doing the radio show. I want to be

1265
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: doing stand up on the road if it weren't for

1266
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: the people. But you guys are superstars and you still

1267
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: keep that as your number one. That's awesome to me. Well,

1268
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: I think you definitely have to keep in mind that

1269
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: you don't get to go out there and do those

1270
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 1: shows if those people don't show up. You know that

1271
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: that doesn't that doesn't fly, you know. I think there's

1272
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: a real realization of that. And I I'm in a relationship.

1273
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: I keep giving Garth credit, But I mean when I

1274
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: my very first tour was opening for him in and

1275
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: it was like it was like the way to be

1276
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: one on one with him because he was he was

1277
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: He became a superstar, I mean like no one has

1278
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: seen in country music. And I watched him helping roll

1279
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,959
Speaker 1: up cords that load out and being kind to every

1280
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: single person in his path, and I remember thinking, well,

1281
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: he's Garth Brooks, Like he doesn't have to be nigh

1282
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 1: and people won't nobody's gonna say anything because he's like

1283
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: he's the star of the show. But the way he

1284
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: treated people was a lesson for me. And we both

1285
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: were raised by families who would not have tolerated us

1286
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: not being nice to people. But at the same time,

1287
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta hit record and people are opening

1288
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: the door for you and carrying your bags. I might

1289
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: have gone down the path if somehow in somewhere in

1290
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 1: my brain thinking I deserve that, but living with him

1291
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: and being around him, it was a great lesson to

1292
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: see to remember who you are always and no matter

1293
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: what happens to you. And I mean, I really do

1294
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: credit him with that because he and it's genuine. You know,

1295
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: I've known him such a long time now, and I

1296
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: thought at some point the other shoe's got a drop,

1297
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: like I think he's I think he's a He's a

1298
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: unicorn for sure, Like I keep thinking, I'm going to

1299
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: see the other side. And he's just a good guy.

1300
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: He just is. Andah, oh yeah, it's total baby, Yeah,

1301
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: total baby. Yes, he's got a cold, like, oh my god,

1302
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: he's not a good patience. That's what I figured. I

1303
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: knew he's not. There's this weakness. All right. Let's be

1304
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 1: frank Um is out now, and that the new country record,

1306
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: don't know a name of anything. You don't know the

1307
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: name yet. I've got a couple ideas, but I'll probably

1308
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: have one by the next tilet me toss one at you.

1309
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:22,520

Speaker 1: you are a delight, you really are. I love this.

1313
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: been here seven hours really already tomorrow. Yeah, it's like

1314
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: when you start dating someone you talk older than night.

1315
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: That's what he yeah right, yeah, you wouldn't know anything

00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,480
Speaker 1: hands until the country. And no, I won't play it

1323
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: the release at Nashville just so I can come play

1324
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: it for you that day. It's going to have to have.

1325
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: It's so weird to have an artist play music for you, though,

1326
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: because I have to do this thing where you just

1327
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 1: bob your head and act like you're feeling it. This

1328
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: is not what do you do if you're not like

1329
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: what if you don't say you do? You go into

1330
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: it the same way every time when this is me

1331
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: you ready, I'm act right now? Right? M that's it?

1332
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it was good like it's the same thing,

1333
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: Bust that I'm gonna watch you like a hawk. Next

1334
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: time we get together and you're listening to my music,

1335
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: I will know. I won't listen to ask Leslie. I

1336
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: will listen to a song with somebody in front of

1337
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: me out of your mind. So, as an artist, I

1338
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: go and sit with a publisher and a songwriter and

1339
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: they play me their song that they poured their heart into,

1340
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: and I have to say face to face to them,

1341
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just not for me. Should I say

1342
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: that to you record? You know what? Just not for me?

1343
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's great, but it's just not for me.

1344
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: Like the old stuff, you would kill me. It's really

1345
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: that hard. That's your job to do that. It's hard

1346
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: to do. I hate. I hate to make people sad. Yeah,

1347
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: me too, So let me just say already I love

1348
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: every song you're you've made and are gonna make. Thank you, alright,
