WEBVTT - #242 - Clint Black on His Biggest Hits, Experience Doing ‘The Apprentice’ and New Music 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:05.640 M h Welcome to episode two forty two. We'll talk 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.360 to Clint Black and just a little bit. Always fun 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:09.440 to talk to people you love when you were a 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:11.480 kid who's got new music out too. But we definitely 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.600 get into a lot of the nineties stuff before we 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.920 turn the mics on here, Mike, you had asked me 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:18.439 if I had heard the new Dixie Chick song, and 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.319 I haven't because I guess the song came out today, right. 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:22.640 I woke up today and for the first time in 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:24.880 five years, I want to play golf today. Eddie and 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.120 Amy hasn't been and I wouldn't play it. So I 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.120 haven't really done anything. I just you know, we're gonna 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.199 go over music here, but I'm just not feeling a 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.600 lot of music right now, oddly for a music podcast. 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.239 I don't know if if it's because I'm really not 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.200 listening to as much music because I'm not commuting ever um, 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.559 or if nothing's really hitting me right now. And we'll 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.040 go through some new stuff, maybe some of this stuff 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.920 will hit you. But I was more excited talk to 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:52.720 Clint Black about the nineties than I have anything new 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.440 coming out today. You know. Um, I think a lot 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.080 of people are feeling that way right now. Once we 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:02.240 get back to uh what normal, I think some of 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.920 our normal habits will kind of kicked back in. But 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.920 have you been listening to new music at all? This week? 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.760 Is probably like the first week I started listening to 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.280 some new stuff. What did you listen to that's new? Um? 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.280 I listened to like, I've been listening to Machine Gun 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.080 Kelly a lot. And you put out a new song 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.280 today and I was checking it out and it's weird 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.400 because I know him as a rapper, but a lot 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:21.840 of the stuff he's putting out is a lot more 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.319 alternative sounding. Is he's singing, yeah, and he's playing guitar 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.480 a lot, So I like the sound everybody being post 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.600 Malone now basically pretty much like he didn't never, He 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.600 didn't have that sound before. Now it's like he's on 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.039 alternative radio. It's weird. I gotta feel like post Malone 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.959 created that space. Like rapper, but you can also do 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.200 rock if you're not to play guitar, Yeah, using real instruments. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.240 That's all. Yeah, that's all him. Alright, Well, let's start 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:47.520 with some new music out this week, and I we'll 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.480 start with the Dixie Chicks song because you had brought 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.760 that up to me. The Dixie Chicks were supposed to 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.400 put a gas lighter the whole album m It was 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.520 the first record of fourteen years, but it's been has 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.680 been pushed back in definitely because of Corona. But they 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:04.760 did about this new song, and it is called Julianna. Julianna, Julianna, Julianna. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:10.520 You said Julianna. Somehow you said Julianna. I hear is Julianna. 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.400 Calm down. I guess this is the time to remind 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:20.320 you sometimes what's going through your head. It's just a 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:29.800 temperate situation and I would soon be shared. Just put on, 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.280 put on, put on your best shoes, and stra to 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.000 fucking round like you've got nothing to lose. Shoot off, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.240 shoot off, shoot off your best moves, and do it 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.800 with a smile, so then no one knows it's put on, 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.560 put on, put on vibe. I can't really find the 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.480 chorus because I'm hearing it from a random time. Is 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.400 that the chorus? Like that part towards like maybe twenty 0:02:54.400 --> 0:03:00.520 seconds into the chorus, put on, put on and Katie 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:06.359 calm down. You know it sounds like a slightly country 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.000 Florence in the Machine. Oh yeah, it kind of does. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.680 But I was hearing again and I was going, right, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.079 what am I hearing here? Pay play that from the 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.359 beginning again, just with a clip. Guess this is the 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:20.280 time to remind you sometimes what's going through your head. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.840 It's just a temperate situation. Do you hear that like 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.280 the Florence Welch kind of? I mean, yeah, yeah, I'll 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.480 probably like that. I can't tell from hearing this one 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.120 clip of a song, but that sounds like like my 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.680 kind of vibe. They're oddly hard to get a hold of, 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.040 meaning they didn't want to be interviewed or they don't 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.800 want me to interview them. And I think I've been 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.920 one of the biggest advocates, oddly, but I can't get 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.840 any of them to talk to me, which is weird 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:51.320 because usually that's not the not the case, it's the opposite. 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.560 People are trying to get on because of, you know, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.720 the platform that we have. So but the Dixie Chick 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.160 has been weird because I've been like pro Dixie Chick 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.040 forever and they just have like we're gonna wait from Boby. 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.320 Weren't talking to him? Uh, I don't know why. Let's 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.600 go here and Now from Kenny Chesney. This is record nineteen. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:16.719 Is that right? Here's the title track, here and now now, 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:24.680 nowhere in this world, and here's a song called Everyone 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:30.400 she Knows She's and the medico down mood. She's sick 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.520 to something love but the letters just too cold. She's 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.440 a mar Jeans. I mean it definitely sounds like Kenny. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.640 That's crazy. At the nineteen records, I mean, Kenny was out, 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.479 you know, he started some of those guys that are 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.680 just called nineties country. We're still around kicking and they're 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.520 considered nineties country. But Kenny started then as well and 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.520 has managed to continue. Look out. When his first record 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.640 came out, I think I think I looked at it earlier. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.080 It was like ninety one. I want to say, wow, 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.040 was it? I was looking to all his albums earlier, 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.320 just to make sure. Like Kenny and McGraw are two 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.440 guys where if they had stopped after a few big 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.080 records or had kind of petered out, they'd be considered 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.480 legacy acts. But they have just continued to produce, continue 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.960 to put out hits. Man, if it was nine one, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:25.919 I'll be shocked and see studio albums even then says 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.200 early Wow, Wow, good for him. I like Kenny. I 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.159 got to set with Kenny wants or sit with Kenny 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.800 on stage and it was just him and I and 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.719 he played acoustic the whole time and we were talking 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.120 to interviews and make jokes and stuff. But he's a 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.320 just a really good singer. You know, when you think 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.039 of the big singers, you don't think of Kenny Chessen 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.520 that you think of a guy Kenn. He just puts 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.200 out the beach hits and but just sitting there acoustic 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.400 with the guitar, it was surprisingly good. The k is 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.799 Silent from Hot Country Nights. This is Dirk Spentley's nineties 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.000 influenced comedy band. This was always a bit difficult because 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:06.200 the songs are pretty good. They're even good and funny, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.880 but it was always weird to talk to them on 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.960 radio because it's such a visual thing and I would 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.440 feel like sometimes it wouldn't come across like I wanted 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.600 it to on radio because unless you could see them, 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.839 you really weren't getting the joke because it just sounds 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.280 like Dirk dark manly making jokes, and so that was 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.159 this was always the thing that we had to juggle 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:28.040 on the radio with Dirk's as Doug Douglason because he 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.200 would come on and be moderately funny, but what he 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.800 was wearing was hilarious. But people can't see what he's 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.200 wearing when they're listening to live, so that was always 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.000 a juggle for me. I would imagine they're kind of 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.480 done with this project at this point, especially they were 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.000 gonna go on a little tour, but that got cut, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.960 as did everybody else's. But they had songs that were good, 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.800 that were aside from the funniness of it, had good hooks. 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.839 Here is Sorry, Hot Country Nights with Travis Tritt a 0:06:54.880 --> 0:07:09.240 song called pick Her Up Up, Dance Around. You know 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.320 what's funny is the three artists we've talked about so far, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.640 and then we're gonna get to Clint Black in a 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:18.040 second Dixie Chicks nineties two thousand's Kenny Chats and he 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.680 started in right what he said, And then Derk Spanley's 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:27.120 band is that nineties uh pop parody band? I mean 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:33.080 that nineties. It's the real retro in vogue thing right now. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.160 Either you came from the nineties and you're making a 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.040 new sound or you're new and you're making a nineties sound. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.200 As long as you've got some feeling of the nineties, 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:42.840 people are like, oh, I accept that, that's pretty cool. 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.920 Do you feel that at all? Why is that though? 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:50.000 The nineties? Well, I think that's when country music went 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.640 massively mainstream, so all the big stars are there. You 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.640 think it will ever shift to a different decade or 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.119 is just something about the nineties. I think it's that 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.440 that was the Garth, Brooks and Done. I mean, I 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.800 think for a while it was probably the sixties. I 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.680 don't know there was ever a seventies and eighties boom 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.600 maybe you know, but but nineties, and I don't think 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.920 the two thousands were great just generally speaking. I think 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.120 it's you know, the most songs. When you think of 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.400 all those massive songs from the nineties, I mean McGraw, Garth, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:26.080 Dixie Chicks, even you know, Chesney, Joe, Diffy, Clinton Black, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.640 We're Gonna I mean, it was just a really good 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.720 time for country music. A lot of money was going 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.560 in to support it because they were seeing that it 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.800 can make a lot of money. So I can't see 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.480 the two thousands. Maybe you know, you have like a 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.960 Luke Combs tribute band, later in like maybe which Luke 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.400 has a new song out too. That's interesting. Now I'm 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.480 gonna think about that. Why the nineties A couple of reasons. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.040 When I think the age of all the people making 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:53.640 decisions were nineties listeners. The adults now we're big nineties kids. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.599 So the people that are making the decision as adults, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.839 the music that's getting made, the the artists for a 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.640 lot of them, or nineties influence. I think that's probably 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.040 what it is. And then the stars that's the biggest 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:13.120 generation of country stars. Luke Hombs has officially released six 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.679 ft Apart. We played the YouTube version a couple of 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:21.479 weeks ago, but this song is up to stream. Mom, 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:35.840 Mr Mystery. You know, I saw the title of this, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:37.560 and I think I mentioned this on last week's podcast. 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.280 I thought, how in the world is he gonna do 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.120 a song that's not cheesy about quarantine? Because I've heard 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.840 a hundred of them and they're almost all cheesy. This 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.400 is a pretty good one. I mean, everything he writes 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:52.000 right now just turns into gold. I played the all right, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.719 He played the Opery and I was hosting it last 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:54.800 week and it was great. He played this at the 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.280 Opery last week, kept More put out a new song 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:09.439 called Crazy for You Tonight Mama, Yeah, Crazy Crazy. Brett 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.720 Young put out a new song called Lady. Here's Brett 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:18.520 Young just back your Mama and love can do. You'll 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:23.360 see close to perfect patience. If you want your every move, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.320 you can always run into daddy. Let gonna see what 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.240 else we got here? I guess some other stuff. Um, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:32.760 what's your favorite on the list here? I don't want 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:33.880 to go through all these what's your favorite on the 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.600 list that we haven't played? Why do you see your 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.560 machine gun? Kelly song? Kelly? We here this one. I 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.920 don't do freak off, but I'll take song from mute. 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.040 It does sound like uh, fall out boy. It meets 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:52.000 like an angry blank one rock Field. Yeah, it does 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.240 street this night. That you have any jack that's straight 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.079 alternative stuff that's not that's crazy. I would never guess 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.600 that was a machine on Kelly. Huh. I mean that 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.719 sounds like your style though, yeah, very much so. It 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.920 sounds like it sounds like he showed up late for 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.760 Warp Tour about five years like his style is a 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.720 little a little beyond that. But he could have fit 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.439 in Marshmallow and Halsey. I saw them laying on the 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.000 ground together on Instagram. I guess like a promotion for 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:31.520 this song. This is called be Kind alright, alright, alright, 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.680 um let's see if there's anything else I want it. 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:38.960 I'll just mentioned some of this um him him him. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:40.880 I thought it was Hime, but when I got no 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.800 reaction back to him him him. The three sisters they 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.679 have a I know alone. I don't need to play that. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.400 Gabby Barrett has a song featuring Shane and Shane. I 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.560 don't know what Shane and Shane is. I thought it 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.520 was like a Shane and Shane company, like a jewelry company. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.480 Do you ever see that car from It's a Cren duo? 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.160 Oh it is. Yeah, imagine both our names, Shane, Shane 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.080 and Shane. All right. Hardy has a new song called Boots. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.240 Let me hear a little bit of Mitchell Tinpennies cover 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.200 of Someone You Loved by Louis Capaldi. Now the Dedly 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:21.280 Far Okay, start, let's start it over and I I 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.559 like Mitchell. No, Mitchell a little bit? Is he using 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.760 auto tune on this? Yeah? You can hear it. I 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.880 thought so too. It's like, man, if you're gonna chase 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.840 one of these really big vocal songs, and he's a 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:34.480 good singer. Let me hear this again, Yeah, you can 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:41.200 hear it. Kind of tin odd choice of a song 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.800 to pick if you have to use auto tune. By 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.360 the way, everybody has pitched shifted a little bit. I've 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.040 only known a couple of artists that go in and go, 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.000 don't touch it. My vocal that's carries one of them current. 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.880 They'll maybe they'll put some effect on it. They don't 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:58.440 pitch shift her vocal. It's very noticeable. Wow. Um, I 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.960 mean I would read idiot stuff. I would just put 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.760 shifted all of it. So like, yeah, we're doing this. 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.040 If everybody knows like Emoji Love song, I think a 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.640 lot of that. We just were like, instead of having 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.960 fixed little parts, shift the whole thing so people know. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.280 It's very obviously not the live version, but the studio version. 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.160 By the way, yes, I'm comparing Emoji Love talking about 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.200 raging idiots too. Let's see and Hardy has any song 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.200 called boots Um The alt country band American Aquarium. Now, 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.600 I don't know who they are, but are they good? 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:28.920 I kind of like the sound. Yeah, I wouldn't have 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.520 thought you to put this up if you didn't think 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:31.800 it was cool. Yeah, I heard it. I was like, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:33.959 I could probably see myself listening. Right. Let me hold 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.080 the country band American Aquarium. All right, I'm into it. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:42.080 They have a new album out called Lamentations. Lamentations. Okay, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.719 here's a song called the Luckier You Get. Let me 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:55.720 see if I dig it. It's it sounds a little 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.240 bit like Tom Petty and the and the waff Flowers, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.280 The Wallflowers meets the wall Flowers, Tom Petty and the 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.560 Heartbreakers meets the wall Flowers. When I'm trying to say, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:09.480 Tom Petty also as an album called wild Flower. Thank 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.360 I got all these in my head, but I would 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.920 say it's like the wall Flowers meets Tom Petty. That's cool, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:23.400 all right, all right, I'm stay hearing. Yeah. Tom Petty's 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.520 album Wildflower, I can't talk. Wild Flowers is one of 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.160 my favorite records. I just want to make sure I 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.520 said that right. Were you ever a Tom Petty fan? 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:38.880 Not really? The song you belong the wild Flowers never 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.280 love the other one, I don't think so that's a 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.560 good one. And then you don't know how it feels. No, 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.160 you don't know how it feels to be me that one. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.000 I know that one. Yeah, that's a good one. Let's 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.400 see what else is on you wreck Me Baby, Doom Doom, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.800 you wrecked me into you know that one.

Yeah, that's a jam here this one. 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.320 I don't know this one. God, this reminds me I'm 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.160 not even interested in new music. I would sit here 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.920 on this record for a long time. That's what we 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.920 should do. We should break down our favorite albums and 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.880 all the songs on it. Because I'm looking at this 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.560 like track five, it's good to be king. It's good 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:30.840 to be king, if just for a day. So if 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:45.840 you know this one, let's see f I don't think 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:55.760 so when your bulldog barks and your canary things now, Yeah, 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.320 this is a jam jam album.

Today? 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.400 I was having the sun today for four hours playing golf, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.760 and I think the sun is not cooperating on my 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.480 body at this point because it's been months since I've 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.600 seen it one day. I think I'm overdosing. I'm vitamin d. Okay, 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:49.000 here we'll take a little break, come back with Clint Black. Enjoy. Hey, 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:55.800 Clint's Bobby. How's it going? Hey, Bobby Twill it's going nowhere? Yeah, 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.040 that I get I felt I saw today it was 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.560 like day fifty with no boards to day four. I 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.359 mean it does feel like a big old blurd, doesn't it. Yeah, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:08.159 it starts to just not matter what day of the 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:11.600 week it is. Well before we get rolling here, we're 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.240 already rolling before we get like moving through. I just 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.880 want to tell you I'm a and I think I've 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.600 I've mentioned this to you before, but I'm just a 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.040 massive fan of yours, so it's it's really exciting for 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.760 me to get to talk to you. Well. Thanks, you know, 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.320 I'm a fan of yours, but I really wasn't a 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:30.200 massive fan until I saw you dance. Well you probably yeah, 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:31.760 that that isn't a good look for me with you, 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.760 so we'll we'll move away from that. I was asked 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.719 to do that show a couple of times, and uh, 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:43.879 there's it's just absolutely no way on earth your brave man. Well, 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.800 you know, obviously you have the chops too. I would 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.400 have Uh, I only dance the silly dance to make 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.959 my family laugh. I feel like that's what I should do, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:57.440 just only the silly dance. Well, you know, I'm excited 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.280 to see that you're putting on a new record. Now, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.520 hey tell me about out of saying, because I was 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.160 thinking about this, is that the is that the opposite 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:09.560 of insane? Out of saying? You know, it's actually uh, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:15.480 they're multiple interpretations of that, and uh, it really comes 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.960 from a little you know, play online from one of 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.800 the songs. Uh. Song title is what I knew then, um, 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.680 and the line is uh a little in and out 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.600 of saying. So I didn't like any of the song titles. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.280 I usually will name an album after one of the 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.480 song titles that sums it up. I didn't like any 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.359 of them for that, the same with my last album 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.640 on Purpose. So I just scoured the lyrics for something 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:49.320 that made sense. And and when I when I thought 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:54.200 of that, when I thought, it's just you know, serious, 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:59.120 seriously speaking um that you know, the writing of songs, 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.920 are creating a music is really you know, born out 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:07.479 of out of sanity, and uh. And then you go 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.399 through the recording process and by the time it's down 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.600 to all the music's recorded, and now I'm trying to 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:18.200 mix it and make sure scientifically everything has its place 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.520 and it's going to sound good on any system it's 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.800 played on it, it just becomes a science. And it's 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:31.320 just it's really kind of borders on insanity at that point. 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:36.280 It's no longer this art form. It's a science. And 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:39.120 and and it's just five hours of sleep at night 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:43.320 and working on that, you know, for eighteen hours a day. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.359 And by the time I get to the end of 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.600 making an album, there's a reason I don't only do 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.200 one about every five years. Now, m I'm getting no sleep. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.520 I've wanted to be over and so I start out 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.359 saying and end up insane. And uh. And I thought 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:05.320 that really it really sums it up. When I always 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.440 wanted to use that photo for the cover with that 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.600 American flag guitar of mine, and I thought that that 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.720 also brings in another interpretation, because it seems our country, 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.000 you know, is a little in and out of saying 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:26.240 and uh, just depending on what cycle we're in. So 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.920 I thought, this is this is a title that anybody 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.399 can see any any way they want for their own uses. 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.879 But for me, it spoke to the album. It spoke 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:42.160 to the process, which you know, it's not iron work, 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:47.480 which I've done, uh, but it's uh, but it gets 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:52.080 to be grueling at one point just uh need to 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.040 need to call it finished, but not until it's right well, 0:20:56.080 --> 0:21:00.320 the full album except for a June nineteenth, really east 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.320 and you know we're six or so weeks out from that. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:04.919 Do you feel like any of this it's happening now 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:06.639 is going to affect that release date or are you 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.680 determined that that's the date the projects coming out? Oh, 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.159 we're firm, We're firm on it. Uh. We've got the 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:17.520 video of the the second and third uh instant grat 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.480 tracks or or lined up and ready to go. It's 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:25.000 all in the system. And I've just gotten my little 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:27.600 I'm going to call it a broadcast studio, it's my 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:32.040 recording studio. But I've finally gotten all the elements. You know, 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.280 it's hardest. There's a lot of stuff like this is 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.000 back ordered. You know. I needed a converter to go 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:42.920 from my um uh, you know, my four K camera 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.800 into the computer to use it, you know, for live streaming, 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.880 and also wanted to tie that in a pro tools. 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.840 So it's been this step by step process of getting 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:58.159 the point where I can start live streaming and and 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:02.600 promoting the album from my studio. I've been watching this 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.919 The Last Dance, which is the Bulls documentary. I think 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:08.320 they've put out four episodes now, and you know it's 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:11.439 about you know, Michael Jordan's his his final season with 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.040 the Bulls, and they do this really cool thing where 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.359 they go back in time, current, back in time, current, 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.359 that kind of thing, and if you'll, um, you know, 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.159 kind of indulge me a little bit. I like to 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:22.560 do that now where I want to talk about new 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.960 stuff and they kind of do a flashback and then 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.399 come back and forth with a new project. Will you 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:31.040 indulge me in this this type of all right, perfect, 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.600 We'll see how it goes. Um. I Like, you had 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:36.200 a lot of jobs before I kind of got into 0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.879 what I'm doing now, where I worked, I worked at 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:41.080 a marina and did bait work. As what you were? 0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.320 Were you a bait cutter? What was that job about? 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.800 That was my uh one of the guys that my 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:53.560 management company. When he was taking down stuff about me, 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.240 you know what I what I done. He was basically 0:22:56.280 --> 0:23:01.359 putting together a simple bio and uh and he laughed 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.719 and said, I'm gonna put because I was an iron worker, 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:08.720 I worked in security, uh as a consultant salesman and 0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:13.160 uh sold security services and I actually did and I starved, 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.800 but uh, um, you know I had uh you know, 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:22.560 I was a newspaper solicitor, had a paper route as 0:23:22.600 --> 0:23:25.640 a kid, you know. And he he laughed and said, 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:29.720
