Speaker 1: the first and second time I played the opera, you
Speaker 1: were playing and I went into your room and you're

Speaker 1: I think The first time we met actually was was
Speaker 1: at when the Norman Oklahoma. Oh that's right. The yeah,
Speaker 1: we both did have benefit together out there, and that's right.
Speaker 1: I had to get over there quick and your manager
Speaker 1: with nice enough to go, hey, get on the plane,
Speaker 1: and then you and I flew back together. But I
Speaker 1: want to say that because I don't know if you
Speaker 1: want to know how rich you are? Shut up? My
Speaker 1: plan this plane was that anyway? I just I just
Speaker 1: got on and nobody said anything. So me too. Luckily
Speaker 1: it was going back to Nashviore important to that just
Speaker 1: could turn into a Payota trial. Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 1: And Ronnie done, come on, Ronnie, come on, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? I shut up? Have you seen you? I
Speaker 1: must say nothing And we've all been just like I
Speaker 1: used to get on the radio and beg you has
Speaker 1: to come in and you guys didn't kicks. I wanna
Speaker 1: call your radio station and be like, hey, can Kicks
Speaker 1: come over? And they'll be like no. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care if somebody else anything, what's up with
Speaker 1: this project? Because I know about it. It's out there.
Speaker 1: A couple of songs out today. How do you feel
Speaker 1: when someone does like a celebratory project towards you, Ronnie,
Speaker 1: like they made these songs the Two the Route today,
Speaker 1: Luke Combs a brand new man. Caine Brown does believe, like,
Speaker 1: how does that feel when someone celebrate you and makes
Speaker 1: your music? Well, it just kind of makes you feel
Speaker 1: kind of old, you know, and then that's mind your oasis.
Speaker 1: And then I get over that and go, dang, how
Speaker 1: cool because it's it's super cool, you know, and started
Speaker 1: to get in the studio with these guys, you know,
Speaker 1: and get to do it in real time, you know.
Speaker 1: In today's you know, digital age, everybody's like, guitars are
Speaker 1: going on across town this, drummers are over here, singers
Speaker 1: are over here, ones over here. We all got in
Speaker 1: the same room and did it. I'm gonna hear this.
Speaker 1: There's some headphones that if you want to, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play a little bit of Brand New Man from
Speaker 1: Luke coms. You can check this out right here. So
Speaker 1: you guys are in the room whenever that's happening, Like
Speaker 1: you guys are making that with him. Yeah, school in
Speaker 1: the room with like next to one another, face to face.
Speaker 1: That is old school. And you know, Luke actually had
Speaker 1: posted him and a couple of his band guys acoustically
Speaker 1: playing Brand New Man, and and it got sent around
Speaker 1: to us, and you know, we just said, dude, that's cool.
Speaker 1: You know, it's great, and it's kind of how this
Speaker 1: guy going. It really wasn't our idea. A couple of
Speaker 1: different Casey Musgraves was doing Neon Moon in her show
Speaker 1: and whatever, and our manager said, and these these acts
Speaker 1: seem to dig y'all's music, and there may be a
Speaker 1: project here, you know, So we're like, what. And I
Speaker 1: guess he came back about a month later and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I got a big list and everybody seems to be in.
Speaker 1: So we said, we'll shoot, let's sing him again. Here's
Speaker 1: Kane Brown. Don't believe there was anybody deserved a ticket
Speaker 1: to the other side. And sweet on man, look me,
Speaker 1: that's so good. Come on, isn't it? Crazy because that's
Speaker 1: a legendary song for you. Like, I'm a massive fan
Speaker 1: of you guys, and I'm okay setting in front of
Speaker 1: you telling you that I'll geek out a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think I have every time I met you have
Speaker 1: geeked out and that will always happened. But like, that
Speaker 1: song didn't even go number one back in the day.
Speaker 1: And when I hear that's that's quintessential Brooks and Dunne, right,
Speaker 1: that song didn't even go number one and everybody knows
Speaker 1: every word to it. That's crazy to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: so many career songs that come along for you as
Speaker 1: an act that's like that. They they don't necessarily hit
Speaker 1: number one. You know that was that song was long?
Speaker 1: You know. I remember Keith Herban doing it with us
Speaker 1: in the Country Fest concert and turned around the middle
Speaker 1: of the show and he got part of the rehearsal
Speaker 1: and he goes, uh, there is no there's just no
Speaker 1: like two minute boy band. So so yeah, it's uh
Speaker 1: just Kane was a great surprise. He stepped up and
Speaker 1: his records are one thing, but when you plug somebody
Speaker 1: into a song like that, and that's that's Ronnie Ston.
Speaker 1: I can't take any credit for it, but I think
Speaker 1: we both just kind of looked at each other when
Speaker 1: he started singing in it, Wow, this is gonna be good.
Speaker 1: When he like really started singing and just looked like
Speaker 1: like beared down. All right, man, It's like, dude, all
Speaker 1: the stuff you need in your voice is there? Love it?
Speaker 1: Then the whole new album. By the way, there are
Speaker 1: two songs out today, but the whole album comes to
Speaker 1: April five and reboot, And so who else is on it?
Speaker 1: Casey's on it, Kanan Luke obviously on Luke Coombs, who
Speaker 1: else Thomas Shrett, Brett, Young Blanco, Lanco. I mean I
Speaker 1: have the list if you want to read it. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I act like I don't know today. I
Speaker 1: know everything I started like Ashley McBride, John Party, brought
Speaker 1: Young Lanco, Midland, Cody Johnson and Tyler Booth, all those guys.
Speaker 1: You can make comments about all of them. Yeah. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you a couple of questions. I always want
Speaker 1: to know in my heart it's okay, can we do it?
Speaker 1: Can I have like some Bobby Hard questions? All right?
Speaker 1: Because when I've spent time I don't want to geek out.
Speaker 1: But now you're in my world. I could do whatever
Speaker 1: I want. It's like, well, going to Bobby's house. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: So you guys got together, like, h thirty one years ago.
Speaker 1: I looked it up like exactly thirty one years ago.
Speaker 1: So you get put together, right, Like suggested that you
Speaker 1: guys should meet each other, right, So who makes that
Speaker 1: suggestion and what's the first impression you guys have each
Speaker 1: other when you meet. Well, Jim Dubois called us both up.
Speaker 1: Um he was he was starred uh the label Arista
Speaker 1: at the time, Nashville with Clide Davis. He'd already signed
Speaker 1: Allen Jackson, so he didn't want another boys singer. He
Speaker 1: was trying to get one of everything, and he'd signed
Speaker 1: Diamond Rio, he'd signed Pam Tillis was his girl and
Speaker 1: the judge were breaking up, so he was determined to
Speaker 1: get ad He needed a new due exactly. And so
Speaker 1: you know he just said, we literally met at lunch
Speaker 1: over a bad enchilada, and he pretty more or less
Speaker 1: offered us a record deal if you know, if it
Speaker 1: worked out, if we could work together. He didn't really
Speaker 1: say that. He said, go away and write some songs,
Speaker 1: and we did that same week. We wrote a brand
Speaker 1: new Man in Next Broken Heart. That was Tuesday. We
Speaker 1: wrote those songs on Thursday and Friday demoded them and
Speaker 1: took him back and he jumped up and down, and
Speaker 1: then he offered us a record deal. But okay, you're right,
Speaker 1: brand new man? Do you go? Oh we had this
Speaker 1: is something like we didn't even know each other, you know,
Speaker 1: three days ago. But we don't brand new man. This
Speaker 1: is something we didn't know. You know, we never know.
Speaker 1: You never know when you wrote him and until they
Speaker 1: there become hits. I guess I thought it was pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really did, because you know, and Ronnie had that
Speaker 1: idea I'm a changed man, and and uh, it's my
Speaker 1: near miss on what if we changed that? But he
Speaker 1: already had the I saw the light and I was
Speaker 1: baptized by that. You know. And Ronnie came from Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: He hadn't been hanging out in Nashville for ten years
Speaker 1: like me, so he had a lot of fresh ideas
Speaker 1: that I think we get bogged down and formula writing
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're doing that for a living. So it
Speaker 1: was for me as a writer, it was really a
Speaker 1: breath of fresh air. Honestly to have some new ideas
Speaker 1: that you weren't just sitting in a room and everybody
Speaker 1: passed around twenty times already, and it was kind of
Speaker 1: it was fun. We wrote a lot of stuff earlier
Speaker 1: that I thought he had some good energy to it.
Speaker 1: Whenever boots Scooting Boogie happens and the dance blows up
Speaker 1: and everybody, that's you know what, I actually learned to
Speaker 1: two steps to boot scoot booge, Like a big part
Speaker 1: of my life was being in Arkansas and this girl
Speaker 1: named Carrie Carter had the biggest crush. ALM was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna teach had a two stap and electric slide
Speaker 1: by the way, both of them. I learned boot Scooting
Speaker 1: booget the same song. And so when the boots Scooting
Speaker 1: boogie starts to be a thing, did you guys come
Speaker 1: up with that dance? Did you guys know it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a thing? Like? How does that whole thing happen?
Speaker 1: I wrote it in Oklahoma and we were playing a
Speaker 1: big club they're called Tulsa City Limits, and uh, we
Speaker 1: we had to do cover songs. And you play club,
Speaker 1: you know bars and stuff or they don't they're one
Speaker 1: of original stuff, And uh, these people kept coming up
Speaker 1: and asking us to play it again, so I kind
Speaker 1: of thought, well, maybe there's something there, so we'd sneak
Speaker 1: into the set late at night. But they were doing
Speaker 1: those dances, and you know that the dance, all the
Speaker 1: line dancing and all that stuff was already up and going,
Speaker 1: you know, strong in Oklahoma, Texas, but down there, if
Speaker 1: you if you play a song or do or play
Speaker 1: in any of the clubs and they're don't dance, then
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're out. So we had to had
Speaker 1: to write songs that kept people moving in turn sold beer.
Speaker 1: Now ye right, So I've never been close to a
Speaker 1: line dance. I can two step a little. I would
Speaker 1: kill myself. I'm the clumsiest person in the world. I'd
Speaker 1: kill myself trying to line dance. Well, you're just down
Speaker 1: from the stage and it looks dangerous. The boot scooting
Speaker 1: Bookie was such a big part of the song though,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, for two guys that don't dance like
Speaker 1: that was such a massive part of this song. Was
Speaker 1: that was the music video. Man, I don't watched the CMT.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. That's awesome. Can I just stand here and
Speaker 1: tell you how awesome you are for like fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: This is the best thing? Am I getting out? Too
Speaker 1: hard to keep it going? Oh my goodness? Okay, so
Speaker 1: how about these Las Vegas shows you guys are doing
Speaker 1: like you come back together? Right? I mean I bet
Speaker 1: that paste so much? Right? Those Vegas shows? Holy crap
Speaker 1: A little all this and money too, I mean right,
Speaker 1: Like you get to play all the hits and that
Speaker 1: do you stay in Vegas for like three or four days?
Speaker 1: They put you up? How does that work? They they
Speaker 1: give us all the sweet and uh have you seen
Speaker 1: the under years yet? It's they're that big. Come on
Speaker 1: a couple of butthers. So if you want something to anytime,
Speaker 1: you get that. But other than that, you get a
Speaker 1: good view. Yah. We're two weeks at a time, four
Speaker 1: times a year, so you're out there. You do three
Speaker 1: shows a week and you know, get some golfin and
Speaker 1: and it's just fun to stumble down from your hotel
Speaker 1: room on to a stage where all your guitars are
Speaker 1: in tune and it sounds the same as it did
Speaker 1: last night, and just to sing and play. It's about
Speaker 1: as great a situation as as you could ever hope for.
Speaker 1: And it's fun. To sing those songs again. I think
Speaker 1: it was good for us to get away from it
Speaker 1: for a few years. And and Reba, you know kinda
Speaker 1: we got a great referee out there, so you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's we've been having a good time, honestly, we
Speaker 1: we both we mentioned earlier with the Kennedy Center on Earth.
Speaker 1: And you guys have a longer relationship with Reba than
Speaker 1: I do. I'm again a huge ream of fan and
Speaker 1: she's been great to me. But how did you guys
Speaker 1: become friends of Reba? Gosh, she hardness and not three.
Speaker 1: I guess she was the first tour that we actually
Speaker 1: got hooked up with and hardest. I think back then
Speaker 1: they were like four or five major tours straight Alabama.
Speaker 1: Who else dance? I think yeah. And then so that
Speaker 1: she had a spot and gave us the opening spot,
Speaker 1: gave us ten feet of stage in ten minutes and
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars or nine we took hundred bucks. But
Speaker 1: a few years later we both kind of kind of
Speaker 1: got a good, good wave going and and hooked up.
Speaker 1: I think in ninety six and maybe ninety seven, we uh,
Speaker 1: we did some co headlining together. We had twenty one
Speaker 1: trucks and nineteen buses out on that tour. So for
Speaker 1: for wow, what song is it? What gets the biggest
Speaker 1: reaction when you play it? Like? What song? Because you
Speaker 1: have so many hits, people probably definitely every where you go.
Speaker 1: But what's the one where you get people go boom,
Speaker 1: first lick they got it. I'd probably say, Mom, Marie,
Speaker 1: come on, that's a dance team. Gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1: For me, sleep is so important when I do this show.
Speaker 1: I'm sure whatever you're doing to day, sleep is so important.
Speaker 1: But you feel like maybe you can't get quality sleep
Speaker 1: because you're so busy. We're all busy. We need to
Speaker 1: have the perfect conditions to get that good rest. And

Speaker 1: have like ten pages I made last night. Here's page one,
Speaker 1: tell them they're awesome. Checks going by yeah, page to
Speaker 1: remind them how awesome they are. Page three, good luck
Speaker 1: in the future. Brand new Man was the first one,
Speaker 1: the first number one. What's the number one? Party? Like
Speaker 1: back then? First time you get a number one, back
Speaker 1: in the day, you hit number one, What do you do?
Speaker 1: I know, Donna Hilly throw a party. I just remember
Speaker 1: we were big into you know, our logos. This this
Speaker 1: this Longhorn steer on steroids and Donna didn't know the difference,
Speaker 1: but bless her heart, we turned the corner on our
Speaker 1: party and she's got a cow out there. You know
Speaker 1: these little horns. I remember going, Okay, that's good effort,
Speaker 1: you know, but did it ever get too big for you? Guys?
Speaker 1: Where you go you look around and you go, holy crap,
Speaker 1: like this is this is lots like a lot of trucks,
Speaker 1: a lot of stage. You ever go this is this
Speaker 1: is a show. You know, it's just a matter of
Speaker 1: personal I guess subjective viewpoint. But there's time with when
Speaker 1: it was growing to the point to where you get
Speaker 1: on the bus and the door would open and shut
Speaker 1: like every fifteen minutes. Somebody going, hey man, we need
Speaker 1: more lights. We need to add the lights. Where do
Speaker 1: you think about adding you know, more more monitors and
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. That was that's the most strenuous part,
Speaker 1: I think, just dealing with the day to day and
Speaker 1: got going, I hope you're not gonna step out there
Speaker 1: and you know, not have enough equipment. Uh, And it
Speaker 1: was that was kind of out of our our wheelhouse.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like I just want to sing and
Speaker 1: write songs. It's like more to it than that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: do you ever do the thing where yelled the wrong city?
Speaker 1: Like what up to below? We were talking the other
Speaker 1: times those weekends when you're in Rapid City and Cedar
Speaker 1: Rapids and you know some other something city, you know
Speaker 1: that where you really have to remind yourself. I think
Speaker 1: the worst mistake I ever made that way was we
Speaker 1: played the basketball Coliseum at Michigan State and and I
Speaker 1: was really disoriented walking to the stage, and I'm going,
Speaker 1: where what town is this? Though I don't know I
Speaker 1: know where at Michigan State, But anyway, I just I
Speaker 1: see their logo going to the stage, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I got this. So while you want to scream something
Speaker 1: when you go out there, you know, I walked down there,
Speaker 1: and how about you trow jazz. It's just like I know,
Speaker 1: I saw it was on the wall. You know, I went,
Speaker 1: I'm spartaned, you know, like you know, no, you're not
Speaker 1: coming back, dude. It's like halfway through this show they
Speaker 1: start to kind of that's funny, come on, so we
Speaker 1: started right right there. You wrote the city on the ground, right.
Speaker 1: I swore I'd never have to do that, But Red
Speaker 1: Dear Road you both wrote that right. I heard kicks
Speaker 1: did the heavy lifting? Does that mean you coming on?
Speaker 1: Most of the article the bus were not after a show,
Speaker 1: and he said and he said let's I've got this
Speaker 1: idea and you had the title or whatever, and we
Speaker 1: started talking about it. I said, well, I grew up
Speaker 1: like in a rural Route three and Eldred, Arkansas kind of,
Speaker 1: you know. And uh, we we talked about a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff. And I'm not sure we didn't have
Speaker 1: the course, you know, well on its way. So funny
Speaker 1: how we remember this stuff. Yeah, everybody, right, we have
Speaker 1: a different story. I'll tell you what really happened when
Speaker 1: after So this is my life and I'm sticking to it. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then I remember us having to like take off
Speaker 1: and go, and we were it was a long long drive,
Speaker 1: like from somewhere like somewhere to Oregon. We landed in
Speaker 1: San Francisco and we had a show in Sacramento at
Speaker 1: ar So I'm in Oregon. You're on the other coast.
Speaker 1: You're on the right coast. Okay, they're both over there,
Speaker 1: all right. So anyway, here I am in Beijing. The
Speaker 1: buses take off. We got the next morning, kicks his
Speaker 1: buses parked out in front of us, and I see
Speaker 1: him get out and his hairs like it looks like
Speaker 1: he's been through freaking World War three or something. Stumbles
Speaker 1: up on the bus with a guitar and he plays
Speaker 1: plays the song the verses. I was like, good god man,
Speaker 1: Bank you hit it. You can tell done. So what
Speaker 1: really happened? Ronnie wrote down the primarily those great lines
Speaker 1: from the chorus. On the airplane flying to San Francisco.
Speaker 1: You had Terry McBride with you, and he hands it
Speaker 1: to him and goes, what do you think of this?
Speaker 1: I'm like, that is great. And we had had this
Speaker 1: discussion about where we grew up in the red dirt roads,
Speaker 1: and we decided to name our album that. But we
Speaker 1: said we got to write a song that goes with it.
Speaker 1: So I jumped on my bus, he jumps on his,
Speaker 1: and we head for Sacramento and I just grabbed my guitar,
Speaker 1: went to work. We get there, him and Terry go
Speaker 1: knock on my door and go let's go get a steak.
Speaker 1: And I said, cool, but you gotta hear this first.
Speaker 1: Mad him listen and where Ronnie done for him? He went,
Speaker 1: I love it. That's freak right. I went, what's wrong
Speaker 1: with you? Let's go, let's see to stay, drink a beer,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. What was the one hit
Speaker 1: that you guys had with over twenty three number I
Speaker 1: think number ones looked earlier. What's the one where you
Speaker 1: wrote and you went, that's the one, like you could
Speaker 1: tell immediately because I'm asking the flip side of this
Speaker 1: in a second, what's the one where you went, that's
Speaker 1: hit red dirt. Red Dirt was pretty close, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I think that was a moment where we were
Speaker 1: all sitting around and he played it for the first
Speaker 1: time and went, oh, I think I think we've got it.
Speaker 1: They went in the studio and then you know, if
Speaker 1: here comes that lick dot dot dot down, then it
Speaker 1: just turned into it like boom. I couldn't wait to
Speaker 1: get home and play that for Mark, right because we
Speaker 1: had we had started gathering up some songs, but we
Speaker 1: needed that anchor and to go with the title, you know,
Speaker 1: and that's it's just that mom where you go, oh,
Speaker 1: we did it. So many variables, you know, contribute to
Speaker 1: that aha moment, and a lot of times it's just
Speaker 1: when you sit down in the studio not knowing where
Speaker 1: it's going to go, and the guitar player. Usually it's
