And you know, Luke actually had 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.920 posted him and a couple of his band guys acoustically 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.719 playing Brand New Man, and and it got sent around 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.320 to us, and you know, we just said, dude, that's cool. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.040 You know, it's great, and it's kind of how this 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.919 guy going. It really wasn't our idea. A couple of 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.520 different Casey Musgraves was doing Neon Moon in her show 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.960 and whatever, and our manager said, and these these acts 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.400 seem to dig y'all's music, and there may be a 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.200 project here, you know, So we're like, what. And I 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.440 guess he came back about a month later and said, hey, 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.960 I got a big list and everybody seems to be in. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.840 So we said, we'll shoot, let's sing him again. Here's 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.960 Kane Brown. Don't believe there was anybody deserved a ticket 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:21.400 to the other side. And sweet on man, look me, 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:40.520 that's so good. Come on, isn't it? Crazy because that's 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.320 a legendary song for you. Like, I'm a massive fan 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.159 of you guys, and I'm okay setting in front of 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:45.680 you telling you that I'll geek out a little bit. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.359 I think I have every time I met you have 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.760 geeked out and that will always happened. But like, that 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.400 song didn't even go number one back in the day. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.760 And when I hear that's that's quintessential Brooks and Dunne, right, 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.640 that song didn't even go number one and everybody knows 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.320 every word to it. That's crazy to me. I mean, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.560 so many career songs that come along for you as 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.760 an act that's like that. They they don't necessarily hit 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.159 number one. You know that was that song was long? 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.000 You know. I remember Keith Herban doing it with us 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.000 in the Country Fest concert and turned around the middle 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:14.800 of the show and he got part of the rehearsal 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.479 and he goes, uh, there is no there's just no 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:23.760 like two minute boy band. So so yeah, it's uh 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.920 just Kane was a great surprise. He stepped up and 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.240 his records are one thing, but when you plug somebody 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.760 into a song like that, and that's that's Ronnie Ston. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.159 I can't take any credit for it, but I think 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.480 we both just kind of looked at each other when 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.320 he started singing in it, Wow, this is gonna be good. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.359 When he like really started singing and just looked like 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.480 like beared down. All right, man, It's like, dude, all 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.240 the stuff you need in your voice is there? Love it? 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.760 Then the whole new album. By the way, there are 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.560 two songs out today, but the whole album comes to 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.960 April five and reboot, And so who else is on it? 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.000 Casey's on it, Kanan Luke obviously on Luke Coombs, who 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:07.800 else Thomas Shrett, Brett, Young Blanco, Lanco. I mean I 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.840 have the list if you want to read it. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:11.800 you know, I act like I don't know today. I 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:17.760 know everything I started like Ashley McBride, John Party, brought 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:22.119 Young Lanco, Midland, Cody Johnson and Tyler Booth, all those guys. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.760 You can make comments about all of them. Yeah. Let 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.360 me ask you a couple of questions. I always want 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.400 to know in my heart it's okay, can we do it? 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.760 Can I have like some Bobby Hard questions? All right? 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.920 Because when I've spent time I don't want to geek out. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:35.480 But now you're in my world. I could do whatever 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.480 I want. It's like, well, going to Bobby's house. Um, okay, 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.720 So you guys got together, like, h thirty one years ago. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.480 I looked it up like exactly thirty one years ago. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.720 So you get put together, right, Like suggested that you 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.000 guys should meet each other, right, So who makes that 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.160 suggestion and what's the first impression you guys have each 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:57.560 other when you meet. Well, Jim Dubois called us both up. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.920 Um he was he was starred uh the label Arista 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.960 at the time, Nashville with Clide Davis. He'd already signed 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.360 Allen Jackson, so he didn't want another boys singer. He 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.720 was trying to get one of everything, and he'd signed 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:14.240 Diamond Rio, he'd signed Pam Tillis was his girl and 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.880 the judge were breaking up, so he was determined to 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.760 get ad He needed a new due exactly. And so 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.920 you know he just said, we literally met at lunch 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:29.080 over a bad enchilada, and he pretty more or less 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.000 offered us a record deal if you know, if it 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.480 worked out, if we could work together. He didn't really 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.320 say that. He said, go away and write some songs, 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.680 and we did that same week. We wrote a brand 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.240 new Man in Next Broken Heart. That was Tuesday. We 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.839 wrote those songs on Thursday and Friday demoded them and 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.680 took him back and he jumped up and down, and 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.720 then he offered us a record deal. But okay, you're right, 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.959 brand new man? Do you go? Oh we had this 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.440 is something like we didn't even know each other, you know, 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.120 three days ago. But we don't brand new man. This 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.320 is something we didn't know. You know, we never know. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240 You never know when you wrote him and until they 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:05.640 there become hits. I guess I thought it was pretty good. Yeah, 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.520 I really did, because you know, and Ronnie had that 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.920 idea I'm a changed man, and and uh, it's my 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.840 near miss on what if we changed that? But he 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.320 already had the I saw the light and I was 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.120 baptized by that. You know. And Ronnie came from Oklahoma. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.680 He hadn't been hanging out in Nashville for ten years 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.880 like me, so he had a lot of fresh ideas 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.480 that I think we get bogged down and formula writing 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.680 sometimes when you're doing that for a living. So it 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.800 was for me as a writer, it was really a 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.360 breath of fresh air. Honestly to have some new ideas 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.880 that you weren't just sitting in a room and everybody 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.160 passed around twenty times already, and it was kind of 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.920 it was fun. We wrote a lot of stuff earlier 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.320 that I thought he had some good energy to it. 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:50.400 Whenever boots Scooting Boogie happens and the dance blows up 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.240 and everybody, that's you know what, I actually learned to 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.800 two steps to boot scoot booge, Like a big part 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.840 of my life was being in Arkansas and this girl 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:58.679 named Carrie Carter had the biggest crush. ALM was like, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.200 I'm gonna teach had a two stap and electric slide 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:02.760 by the way, both of them. I learned boot Scooting 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.080 booget the same song. And so when the boots Scooting 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:07.720 boogie starts to be a thing, did you guys come 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.600 up with that dance? Did you guys know it's gonna 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.640 be a thing? Like? How does that whole thing happen? 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.600 I wrote it in Oklahoma and we were playing a 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.360 big club they're called Tulsa City Limits, and uh, we 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.520 we had to do cover songs. And you play club, 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.120 you know bars and stuff or they don't they're one 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.000 of original stuff, And uh, these people kept coming up 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.079 and asking us to play it again, so I kind 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.000 of thought, well, maybe there's something there, so we'd sneak 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.319 into the set late at night. But they were doing 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.960 those dances, and you know that the dance, all the 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.240 line dancing and all that stuff was already up and going, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.280 you know, strong in Oklahoma, Texas, but down there, if 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.720 you if you play a song or do or play 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.679 in any of the clubs and they're don't dance, then 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.760 you're you know, you're out. So we had to had 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:52.840 to write songs that kept people moving in turn sold beer. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.000 Now ye right, So I've never been close to a 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.560 line dance. I can two step a little. I would 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.240 kill myself. I'm the clumsiest person in the world. I'd 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.400 kill myself trying to line dance. Well, you're just down 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:12.080 from the stage and it looks dangerous. The boot scooting 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.079 Bookie was such a big part of the song though, 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.559 Like I mean, for two guys that don't dance like 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.000 that was such a massive part of this song. Was 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.320 that was the music video. Man, I don't watched the CMT. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.319 That's crazy. That's awesome. Can I just stand here and 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.040 tell you how awesome you are for like fifteen minutes. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.000 This is the best thing? Am I getting out? Too 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.719 hard to keep it going? Oh my goodness? Okay, so 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.800 how about these Las Vegas shows you guys are doing 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.839 like you come back together? Right? I mean I bet 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.760 that paste so much? Right? Those Vegas shows? Holy crap 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.120 A little all this and money too, I mean right, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.800 Like you get to play all the hits and that 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.240 do you stay in Vegas for like three or four days? 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.200 They put you up? How does that work? They they 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.520 give us all the sweet and uh have you seen 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:58.600 the under years yet? It's they're that big. Come on 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.840 a couple of butthers. So if you want something to anytime, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.160 you get that. But other than that, you get a 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.800 good view. Yah. We're two weeks at a time, four 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.200 times a year, so you're out there. You do three 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.520 shows a week and you know, get some golfin and 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.760 and it's just fun to stumble down from your hotel 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.000 room on to a stage where all your guitars are 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:20.719 in tune and it sounds the same as it did 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.640 last night, and just to sing and play. It's about 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.080 as great a situation as as you could ever hope for. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.079 And it's fun. To sing those songs again. I think 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.680 it was good for us to get away from it 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.439 for a few years. And and Reba, you know kinda 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.320 we got a great referee out there, so you know, 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.360 it's it's we've been having a good time, honestly, we 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.720 we both we mentioned earlier with the Kennedy Center on Earth. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.120 And you guys have a longer relationship with Reba than 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.040 I do. I'm again a huge ream of fan and 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.480 she's been great to me. But how did you guys 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:54.720 become friends of Reba? Gosh, she hardness and not three. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.800 I guess she was the first tour that we actually 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.600 got hooked up with and hardest. I think back then 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.800 they were like four or five major tours straight Alabama. 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.800 Who else dance? I think yeah. And then so that 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:09.600 she had a spot and gave us the opening spot, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.680 gave us ten feet of stage in ten minutes and 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:16.920 a hundred dollars or nine we took hundred bucks. But 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.080 a few years later we both kind of kind of 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.320 got a good, good wave going and and hooked up. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.600 I think in ninety six and maybe ninety seven, we uh, 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.280 we did some co headlining together. We had twenty one 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.760 trucks and nineteen buses out on that tour. So for 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:40.480 for wow, what song is it? What gets the biggest 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.240 reaction when you play it? Like? What song? Because you 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.760 have so many hits, people probably definitely every where you go. 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.079 But what's the one where you get people go boom, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.640 first lick they got it. I'd probably say, Mom, Marie, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:55.520 come on, that's a dance team. Gotta be kidding me. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.040 For me, sleep is so important when I do this show. 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.720 I'm sure whatever you're doing to day, sleep is so important. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.160 But you feel like maybe you can't get quality sleep 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.200 because you're so busy.

I just remember 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:35.240 we were big into you know, our logos. This this 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.600 this Longhorn steer on steroids and Donna didn't know the difference, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.480 but bless her heart, we turned the corner on our 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.480 party and she's got a cow out there. You know 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.920 these little horns. I remember going, Okay, that's good effort, 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:54.720 you know, but did it ever get too big for you? Guys? 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.640 Where you go you look around and you go, holy crap, 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.880 like this is this is lots like a lot of trucks, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:03.800 a lot of stage. You ever go this is this 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.840 is a show. You know, it's just a matter of 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:13.840 personal I guess subjective viewpoint. But there's time with when 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.360 it was growing to the point to where you get 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.320 on the bus and the door would open and shut 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.840 like every fifteen minutes. Somebody going, hey man, we need 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.560 more lights. We need to add the lights. Where do 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.679 you think about adding you know, more more monitors and 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.800 that kind of stuff. That was that's the most strenuous part, 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.720 I think, just dealing with the day to day and 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:32.399 got going, I hope you're not gonna step out there 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.679 and you know, not have enough equipment. Uh, And it 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:37.840 was that was kind of out of our our wheelhouse. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.199 You know. It's like I just want to sing and 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.000 write songs. It's like more to it than that. Obviously, 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:43.560 do you ever do the thing where yelled the wrong city? 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.720 Like what up to below? We were talking the other 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:52.840 times those weekends when you're in Rapid City and Cedar 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.000 Rapids and you know some other something city, you know 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.840 that where you really have to remind yourself. I think 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.480 the worst mistake I ever made that way was we 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.080 played the basketball Coliseum at Michigan State and and I 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.840 was really disoriented walking to the stage, and I'm going, 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.800 where what town is this? Though I don't know I 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.800 know where at Michigan State, But anyway, I just I 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.240 see their logo going to the stage, and I'm like, okay, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.680 I got this. So while you want to scream something 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.560 when you go out there, you know, I walked down there, 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:28.679 and how about you trow jazz. It's just like I know, 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:30.800 I saw it was on the wall. You know, I went, 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:35.840 I'm spartaned, you know, like you know, no, you're not 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.800 coming back, dude. It's like halfway through this show they 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:43.920 start to kind of that's funny, come on, so we 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.679 started right right there. You wrote the city on the ground, right. 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.520 I swore I'd never have to do that, But Red 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.280 Dear Road you both wrote that right. I heard kicks 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.800 did the heavy lifting? Does that mean you coming on? 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.800 Most of the article the bus were not after a show, 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.359 and he said and he said let's I've got this 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.280 idea and you had the title or whatever, and we 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:07.000 started talking about it. I said, well, I grew up 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.439 like in a rural Route three and Eldred, Arkansas kind of, 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.840 you know. And uh, we we talked about a lot 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:15.199 of that stuff. And I'm not sure we didn't have 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.760 the course, you know, well on its way. So funny 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:24.280 how we remember this stuff. Yeah, everybody, right, we have 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.239 a different story. I'll tell you what really happened when 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:31.480 after So this is my life and I'm sticking to it. Uh. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.800 And then I remember us having to like take off 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.879 and go, and we were it was a long long drive, 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.800 like from somewhere like somewhere to Oregon. We landed in 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.439 San Francisco and we had a show in Sacramento at 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.440 ar So I'm in Oregon. You're on the other coast. 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.760 You're on the right coast. Okay, they're both over there, 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:52.320 all right. So anyway, here I am in Beijing. The 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.119 buses take off. We got the next morning, kicks his 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.640 buses parked out in front of us, and I see 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.359 him get out and his hairs like it looks like 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:03.040 he's been through freaking World War three or something. Stumbles 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.560 up on the bus with a guitar and he plays 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:08.760 plays the song the verses. I was like, good god man, 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:14.119 Bank you hit it. You can tell done. So what 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:19.439 really happened? Ronnie wrote down the primarily those great lines 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.880 from the chorus. On the airplane flying to San Francisco. 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.600
