Speaker 2: grew up in a home filled with thousands of vinyl records,

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,160

31

Speaker 2: Everyone Button, and her voice has been described as a

36
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: rare blend of Stevine X, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner.

00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: Red Faye, thank you so much for being oh my

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 4: I see why you have this stop. You are good. Yeah,

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: thank you.

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: We're here at country Radio Simon Arms today and your

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: new single, Everyone Button is coming out soon on April seventeenth.

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: You have been working on this song was producer hamsel Lee,

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: who is an incredible R and B pedigree with hits

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: per color me bad. How did his R and B

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: background influence the sound on this song that you're bringing

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: into the country space.

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: What a fantastic and appropriate question.

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: Uh.

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 5: Getting in the studio with this song really was a

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 5: thinker for him, a scratcher, because I think when he

54
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 5: comes to a producer listening to a singer from that

55
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 5: he gets where the song really is, where the heart

56
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: of it is. And I think when he heard this

57
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 5: very earthy country tone that was coming from me, but

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 5: also the song itself has a little bit of a cosmopolitan.

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: Side to it, so I think he put that polish

60
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: in there. But it is also such a very.

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 5: Staunch, ritualistic country sound, and so that's why we just

62
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 5: love it, because it brings some dimension.

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: To a song, sort of like something that Pertina.

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: Mcgride might have done, you know, and it's it comes

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 5: out when you hear it and you want to hear

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 5: it again because you're like, I want to experience what

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: that is really trying to tell me, because it does

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 5: go a main path and then it has some other

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: surprises too, So I think it's a definitely a collaboration

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: between the producer and myself and the writer of the song,

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: which was Trish Goldberg.

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, I'm so excited to hear it. That's your

73
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: new single coming out. Everyone but me, and as I

74
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, are your great uncles Tony Edwards.

75
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: He was a true.

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: Pioneer as one of the first black musicians to make

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: a massive impact on country music, and he explicitly advised

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: you to keep the torch blazing. So how does that

79
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: responsibility weigh on you as you navigate the industry today.

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 5: Well, for sure, when I wasn't and I kind of

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 5: left the country scene for a bit, it stayed in

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: my head. I think now that I'm back, if I

83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: certainly feel him walking beside me at the giant that

84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: he is, and his spirit absolutely sores inside of this

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 5: whole family legacy that we're bringing, you know, want to

86
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: bring to small center focus again. I would love one

87
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 5: day to be able to do a tribute to uncle,

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 5: because there's so many people that absolutely remember She's my

89
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 5: rock and Rose cuind of Glasses and so many beautiful

90
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: songs that he brought to the palette with his energy,

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 5: and that that was something that he instilled in me

92
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 5: is that you know, you're here to bring forth who

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 5: you are, entertain people in a way and a spirit

94
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: that brings some closeness to the music, some intimacy to

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 5: what you're doing. And he was a class act for sure.

96
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: So I'm grateful for so many things him included.

97
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 4: That's so special.

98
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: I would love to hear your take on some of

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: those songs and your child at Home and Boulder it

100
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 2: was filled with a vinyl collection of nearly seven thousand albums, Wow,

101
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: ranging from Miles Davis to Dan Fogelberg. How did that

102
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: damn it of great self? He develop a sound that

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: critics are already comparing to iconic voices like Stevie Nix

104
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: and Tina Turner.

105
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 4: That's a big question.

106
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: But certainly, growing up in Bolder, you had so many

107
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 5: influences outside of them too, which were a lot of

108
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: soft rock and rock and even hard acid, you know,

109
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 5: I just and country too.

110
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 4: I mean, John Denver was something you pretty much woke

111
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: up to.

112
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: That was the national Yeah, But for a certain my

113
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 5: father made it evident that music is such a part

114
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 5: of the soul and such a part of who you

115
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 5: are and helping you develop even a personality of yourself really,

116
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 5: you know, discerning what you like. You might like what

117
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 5: it sounds like, but what do you sing in your soul?

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 5: And so I think that helped define that part of me.

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 5: And I think the rest of those other things that

120
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 5: was that's a that's a gift.

121
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: I don't have anything to do with that.

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: And I'm so grateful that people think that it does

123
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: resemble this or that, because I know those are people

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 5: that I truly.

125
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: Adore in music.

126
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 2: There are some of your country influences growing up, So

127
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: let's just start with Patsy Klein.

128
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, and my uncle for sure. Sometimes when I sing,

129
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 5: I'm definitely like, what are you.

130
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 4: Doing in a studio with me? Uncle? You know, it's

131
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: thinking I hear coming through me.

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 5: But I love Patsy because of the smoothness of her

133
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 5: elegant voice and the same time she could get rough

134
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: and down into it.

135
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: And I love even Tanya Tucker. I loved the Juds.

136
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 5: I loved Garth's things and Reva's things. I loved how

137
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 5: Riba always made it her own no matter what it was.

138
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: So these are all people that resonate with me until today.

139
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you grew up around so much music and subgenres.

140
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: What initially brought you from Colorado to Nashville.

141
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 5: Honestly the people that I'm with, you know, there's such

142
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 5: a big help, and I'm so grateful to be a

143
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 5: part of what they are doing. And this is the time,

144
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 5: and so we are here, and I'm just so blessed

145
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 5: to be here and happy to be here with my

146
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 5: first single that's getting ready to drop everyone but me

147
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: on April seventeenth, and so it was just time.

148
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 2: You know, we are very excited that you're here in

149
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: Nashville and you're also releasing a debut album this year.

150
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: Correct.

151
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we're very excited to hear that. Did you

152
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: record all of Itshville?

153
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 5: I didn't record all of it in Nashville, but for

154
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: certainly we will be recording some more of the songs

155
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: that we're doing in Nashville.

156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: For sure. It's an iconic place to record.

157
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: Recording here definitely makes you feel like you're part of

158
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: the Nashville family that's all always growing and never expanding,

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: and we want to be part of that growth and.

00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,800

164
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 5: It wasn't just going in and you know it's it's

165
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: a thinking thing every time you get ready to record

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 5: a song and really present it to people, because it

167
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 5: is something more than a song once it's you're out

168
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 5: there performing it, it's a connection and so being in

169
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 5: the studio you really need to think about what you're

170
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: trying to convey.

171
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,680

211
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: Walk Nashville podcast. Welcome back to Taking a Walk Nashville.

212
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: Our guest has a story that is anything but conventional.

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: Hailing from Waterloo, Ontario, he grew up with a father

214
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: who played alongside country legends like George Strait and Kenny Rogers.

215
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: Yet he spent his early years fronting a scream oh

216
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: band and sharing bills with heavy hitters like Under Oath

217
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: and a Tray You, and he eventually balanced to life

218
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: as a fireman and entrepreneur before realizing that music was

219
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: the one thing he can no longer keep as a

220
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: side hustle. Drew Taylor, thank you so much.

221
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 4: For being here on taking a walk Nashville today.

222
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 6: How are you thanks for having me? I'm great.

223
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you recently released a reimagined version of Favor

224
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: drives You and I tonight, and your country version actually

225
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: features Dave Favor. How did this remake and collaboration come about?

226
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 7: Well, it was it was a song I listened to

227
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 7: in high school and it's like everybody our age.

228
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 6: Listened to and everybody knew it.

229
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 7: It went platinum up there, and Dave's a good friend

230
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 7: of mine, so I just gave him a call. I'm like,

231
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 7: what do you think about countryfying this song? Because it

232
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 7: was originally like an email song, kind of alternative rock

233
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 7: and in the countryfided and it turned.

234
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: Out really well, yeah, it's really fun listening to your

235
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: version of it and you know, making a little bit

236
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: more country. Speaking of how did you go from fronting

237
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: a scream o band to country music? Did your father

238
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: influence that decision or did you kind of find the

239
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 2: path on your own?

240
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 6: I kind of like kind of grew into it.

241
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 7: You know, as you grow as an artist and as

242
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 7: you grow as a man, you kind of I kind

243
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 7: of pulled away from the the emo music and in

244
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 7: the scream out and just country really resonated with me.

245
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 6: And I still think I throw a little bit.

246
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 7: Of that of that kind of emo vibe onto my music,

247
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 7: so it still comes with me.

248
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely a lot of rock influences in your

249
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: country music still. Lately, you are going on the road
