00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if you run your own Twitter account

136
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,040

137
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: me to reach out to you again because I've seen

138
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: you pretty recently. But um, I was listening to pay

139
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Me a Birmingham and there's that key change right in

140
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: that double chorus, and I was like, man, this thing

141
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: still hits hard, like when you go up a key.

142
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: I was just like, holy crapt. So I was thinking

143
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: about that song and I was like, yeah, don't talked

144
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: to Tracy in a while. I kind of wanted to

145
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: catch up a little bit. So, first of all, I

146
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on. The second of all, when I

147
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: started looking at paying Me a Birmingham, I realized it

148
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: peaked at number four. Wasn't even number one song, No,

149
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: wasn't it was, and probably, you know, other than Tom

150
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: March's own, Birmingham is probably the biggest impact record that

151
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I had, and it was. I mean it it barely

152
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: got top five. Man, then that crazy Yeah it says

153
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: it peaked at four in this chart, but why is that?

154
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: Like what what at that point kept it from hitting one?

155
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Was that we're radio people going ad that research or

156
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: what were they saying? You know, I was on DreamWorks

157
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: at the time, and DreamWorks had a lot of momentum.

158
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: It was a big record. I don't know if they

159
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: just they had followed it as long as they wanted

160
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: to fight it and let it go. I mean, I

161
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: don't know that was you know, that was Scott Borshetta's

162
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: deal back at the time. But I I thought it

163
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: even though it didn't go number one, that song has

164
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: been just as impactful, if not bigger than most of

165
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: the number one records that I've had over the years.

166
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I closed the show with it every night,

167
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: and it brings the house down, Yeah, I mean, it

168
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: brings the house down when I'm streaming it. I mean,

169
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: and that's just my house. So, uh, well, a couple

170
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: of things I want to talk to you about for

171
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: a second. You know, we're going through this, you know,

172
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: renaissance again from back when I was a kid in

173
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: the nineties and teenager and you know, when you know

174
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: you had a ton of your early success. Why in

175
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: the world do you think we're looking back at the

176
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: nineties now as like the beloved decade for country music.

177
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: I think it was just such a great It was

178
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: really a magical time for country music. Man. There was

179
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: that young country energy that had swept the country, you know,

180
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: in eighty nine. It all started in eighty nine with

181
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: Garth Brooks and Clint Black and and uh Travis Tritt

182
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: and Alan Jackson and Mark Chestnut. That was the beginning

183
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: of it, and that explosion drove so many of us

184
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: can come to Mashville. I mean, because by the time

185
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: we got into the early nineties, it was it was

186
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: traditional country with an edge to it. And I really

187
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: think that we're gonna look back on the nineties. It's

188
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of like what classic rock is to the country

189
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: these days. It's going to be that music that sustains

190
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: for a long long time. There was just something really

191
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: special about it, you know, with you And I'm not

192
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: sure if you were down at s a U or

193
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: you know when right before you decided to move to Nashville,

194
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: but what was the thing that kind of pushed over

195
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: the edge was like, all right, crap, I gotta go, Like,

196
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: I can't do it if I don't I had. I

197
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: had left SAU. I did two and a half years

198
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: at s a U, and I'd gone back into the

199
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: workforce for a little bit. I wound up moving to

200
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: Louisiana and I was I was playing in a circuit

201
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: band and doing just odd jobs down there. I was

202
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: living in the rust and Louisiana at the time, and

203
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: I had re enrolled in the Rusting in Louisiana Tech

204
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: there at rustin and I was supposed to start classes

205
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: in the fall. I got my pale grant approved and

206
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: all that stuff was going on. I was gonna go

207
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: back and finish my degree and all that music from

208
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: eight nine came out, and I was sitting there thinking,

209
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, if I wind up going back to college,

210
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm never going to go to Nashville. If I'm gonna

211
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: do it, I need to do it now. And I

212
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: canceled the gigs, played the last weekend with the band,

213
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: packed my car up and came to Tennessee. Okay, so

214
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: did you have one car? Do you have a trailer

215
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: like kind of Let me see, let me see the crap.

216
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: I had a piece of crap Toyota Corolla with about

217
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand miles on it, and and

218
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: the car is still sitting in my pasture right now.

219
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: And he had just shot at full of board holes.

220
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: It's still out there in the pastor so I had.

221
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I played my last gig in spring Hill, Louisiana at

222
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: Bill's New Country three, and they took a collection up

223
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: at the door to help me get to Nashville. I

224
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: think I had seven hundred dollars in my pocket and

225
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: I beat up old car and that is all I

226
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: had except for what I could pack in that car.

227
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: So what kind of place do you move into? What

228
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: kind of place did you move into when you got here?

229
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: You know, there was a guy from back home, and

230
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: I called his mom on the way up here. Now

231
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: I'd never been to Nashville before, really didn't know anybody,

232
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: and he let me stay on the couch for a

233
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I went up getting a job. I

234
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: got on work with a construction company over in Portland, Tennessee,

235
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: and I was working on a big warehouse as they

236
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: were building hanging middle siding on it. I got my

237
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: feet on the ground. Every night I would go out

238
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: and meet the road musicians and the songwriters and everything

239
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: and all the local water and holes downtown. And I

240
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: wound up getting room and board with a drummer named

241
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: Terry Buttram that was actually from Texa Canna, and wind

242
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: up staying with him. He put my my first band together.

243
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: When I got my record deal, things happened really fast, though,

244
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: because I got to town in September of nineteen ninety.

245
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: By December, I was on a called Live and Libby's

246
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: Over and Days of Kentucky. That was an Oprey style

247
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: show that broadcast back into Nashville one of Kentucky radio

248
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: stations every Saturday night. Some executives from Atlantic Records had

249
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: come to that show in December to see somebody else,

250
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: and they liked me better. I did a showcase in

251
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: January at the Bluebird Cafe, which is where I met

252
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: Rick Blackburn. They agreed to sign me a May of

253
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: ninety one, I cut Sticks and Stones and had three

254
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: number one records in the top five off of it

255
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: Insane and here's Sticks and Stones. Let me play a

256
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: little bit of Sticks and Stones. I knew every word

257
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: of a song. When you were in school, Tracy, were

258
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: you the music guy? Were you the guy that always

259
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: had a guitar being around or did your friends even? Yeah?

260
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I was. I was the guy that John Belushi would

261
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: have taken it out of my hands and bashed it

262
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: against the wall. Yeah. I went to church camp, man,

263
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: I had a twelve string guitar. Dude, Oh yeah, I

264
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: did them buy you all that stuff? So at church

265
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: because listen, there was always church camp. And I went

266
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: to uh Spring Lake church camp every year. There was

267
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: always one cool kid that could play guitar. And for

268
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: for me, whenever I was a kid, it was mostly Oasis,

269
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Wonder Wall. They could always play that. They could play

270
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: a couple of Garths songs and that was about it.

271
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: But were you that kid, you know I was. I

272
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: could play quite a bit. Uh. Most of my stuff

273
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: was like real traditional country. I was really big time

274
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: into George Strait and Merrow Hager. Those were my two guys.

275
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: Of course, you had guys like Randy Travis that came

276
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: out in the early eighties, so I wouldn't play on

277
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: the other hand, and and nineteen eighty two and that

278
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So there was a whole lot of

279
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: music from the era that were more of the baritone

280
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: singers that I just absolutely fell in love with. And

281
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: most of it was pretty straightforward stuff. I mean, we

282
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: didn't get really into intricate chord changes and stuff till

283
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: you got into more of the pop country, So most

284
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: of it was pretty straightforward, you know, three or four chords,

285
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: it was pretty easy. In a few minutes, I'm gonna

286
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: ask you about you know, Made in America, your your

287
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: later record and you know, doing your own record label,

288
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: and because that's always so interesting to me. But I

289
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: want to hit a couple of songs real quick, because

290
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: I can't break it to my heart was me my

291
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: teenage anthem, Like I hear this song, you know how

292
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: you hear a song, and for me, it puts me

293
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: back in Central Arkansas thirteen years old. Listen to Kissing

294
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: ninety six here in this song right here. Did you

295
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: hear songs still in your life that put you back

296
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: in those spots? Yeah, I do a lot, especially a

297
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff from the early eighties, you know,

298
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: because that was such a developmental time for me. You know,

299
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: from the time I was you know, uh, preteen, early

300
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: seen twelve, fourteen years old. All that music had such

301
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: a big impact on me because I was really it was,

302
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: it was forming part of my identity, because it was

303
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: becoming a big part of who I was, because everything

304
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: to me revolved around music, you know, from from going

305
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: to junior high prom to to you know, you know,

306
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: and not even just country stuff. That Purple Rain was

307
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: her theme song for the prom. I graduated in eighty six.

308
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: So all that music that came through, I hear band

309
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: haland songs, and they remind me of my buddy, my

310
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: running buddy had a sixty nine Chavell and we I

311
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: mean we listened to a lot of Van Halen during

312
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the summer. So all those songs, man, they bring back

313
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: those great members, you know, at this point in my

314
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: career because I just turned forty, So I know I

315
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: have people going here. Used to listen to you when

316
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: I was like eight years old, and I'm like, holy crap,

317
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting little older. It's got to be wild too.

318
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: When you're out and there's like a you know, twenty

319
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: five year old that's like, man, I Tracy Lawrence, I

320
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: was listening to you when I was like four. That's

321
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy, right, my favorite one. Man. My grandmother

322
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: loves you know. But you know what, I've seen the

323
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: highs and lows of the business, and and I really

324
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: have learned to take it all in stride, man, just

325
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: just to kind of still be somewhat relevant and have

326
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: a fan base out there that allows me to work.

327
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm so appreciative of it. I don't think I understood.

328
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, you get inside the bubble when your career

329
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: takes off and your focus stone all that, and you've

330
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: got all the people around you and you got your

331
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: bubble and all that. You know, you lose perspective of

332
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: just how special it is because it's something that very

333
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: few people get to do. They don't get to take

334
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: that journey, they don't get to feel the ride and

335
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: the emotions of feeling a record go up the chart

336
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: and seeing the impact that it has in the public

337
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: and the way that it changes the crowd, and you know,

338
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's like getting on top of a

339
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: wave is the only way to describe it. It's like

340
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: a riding riding the top of a wave on a surfboard,

341
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, And and the ultimate goal is trying to

342
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: sustain that ride as long as you can. You know. Well,

343
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: way was the biggest and hardest like you put out

344
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: was the time marches on with a Texas tornado, where

345
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: you put it out and it's like, holy crap, hold on,

346
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: because here we go. Man. There were several of them.

347
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, that initial first wave and Sticks and

348
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Stones took off. Man, it was life changing for me.

349
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: Uh And and I remember hearing hearing six of Stones

350
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: in the car radio for the first time and just

351
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: the chills that gave me. I literally had to pull

352
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: over the side of the road and sit there and

353
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: freaking cry, you know. But then then you come back

354
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: with of Alibis. Alibis was a massive, massive hit back

355
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: in ninety three, and then I mean, so they they

356
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: there's just something powerful about the way that those records

357
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: impacted back then, and I don't I don't, I guess.

358
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: I guess songs still impact that way for for artists nowadays.

359
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: But back then it was you could feel the ground

360
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: shake underneath your feet. And as a as a record

361
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: would move up the charge, you know, it had a

362
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: feel to it when it hit top forty, and then

363
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: by the time I got top twenty and top ten,

364
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: it got more intense, just the way the fans would

365
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: sing the song back to you. By the time a

366
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: record got top five in the number one, it was

367
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: you could feel the ground move underneath your feet. There

368
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: was no there's no other way to describe it. You know,

369
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: when you put out the album last year and made

370
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: in America, you know it's your your latest record, And

371
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious that's because you have such a distinct sound

372
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: that people know you for, Like, how do you walk

373
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: that fine line of because we all grow as people

374
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: as artists, you know, we don't want to be the

375
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: same person we were twenty years ago, But how did

376
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: you grow but still stay the same when you're making

377
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: new music but people know you from again? Sticking Stones

378
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: and Alibis and if the Good Die Young? This album

379
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: was really different in a lot of ways, because I've

380
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: never written as much for a record. This album, I

381
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: wrote like eight of the twelve tracks on it. Three

382
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: of the other tracks came from songwriters and my publishing company,

383
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: stuff that I've known for a while, so they basically

384
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: all but one song came out of my camp. The

385
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: one song that didn't is a Stapleton Shawn Camp song

386
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: called Given My Reasons to Pray. And I, you know,

387
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: I know this sounds crazy, but I really always lacked

388
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: self confidence in my own songwriting. I've had a camp break.

389
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: It was one that I wrote front Fortune was the

390
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: one that I wrote, Stars Over Texas, I wrote but

391
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: but But I had always tried to beat my own

392
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: songs out with things I found from other publishing companies.

393
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: As I was looking for material for this record, I

394
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: just couldn't find what I was looking for. And I

395
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: went up really just knuckling down and writing this record.

396
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: And I've never forced myself to do that before. And

397
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think it finally shined through. I

398
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: think I cut a record that I'm really proud of

399
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: form top to bottom, more so than than I have

400
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: been any of them in the last several years. And

401
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: it's I just felt more of a connection to it,

402
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: and I felt like I delivered it better than I

403
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: had anything else in a long time. You just check

404
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: out Made in America, your own record label. What kind

405
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: of responsibility is that now? You know? It's not too bad.

406
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: It's it's basically just an imprint. We've got a distribution

407
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: company with the Orchard, and they take care of so

408
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: much of the other stuff. So basically, I'm I'm really

409
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: hands on during the recording process, you know. Uh, you know,

410
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: the way we market things through social media and with

411
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: with secondary radio and uh, with streaming platforms is really

412
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: different nowadays. So you know, I'm involved in what's going on,

413
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: but I got a great management company that takes care

414
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: of most of it. So it's it's it's nothing like

415
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: when we were on a major and we were out

416
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: doing radio tours and working radio all the time. It's

417
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: it's a whole different thing. It's much more laid back

418
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: these days. All right, Well, let me in with this question.

419
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: If you look back at all your trophies, are plaques,

420
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: are difference venirs? Like what is it that you have

421
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: that you look at and go, man, I look at that.

422
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: It reminds me of something awesome and it means the

423
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: most to me. Wow, you know, I know this is

424
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: gonna sound strange. Still a lot of people. Um, when

425
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: my wife and I started our family, my wife and

426
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: I've been together twenty two years. We have a daughter

427
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: that's a sophomore in college, one that's a senior this year.

428
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: And when we started our family, we made the conscious

429
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: decision that they didn't want them to try to keep

430
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: up with what I had accomplished and the things that

431
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: I've done in my life. There are no platinum records

432
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: on my walls, no gold records. There are no trophy mantels,

433
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: no trophy cases. I've got a collection of NFL football

434
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: helmet signed by all these different people's sports memorial belli

435
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: and stuff. But as far as the trophies and things

436
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: from me, they're they're not displayed at my home. Nice.

437
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite? What's your team? Who's your NFL team?

438
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: You know I grew up a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I

439
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: still have a lot of friends in Dallas. I'm very

440
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: connected to that program. Uh, But you know, we're here Tennessee.

441
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: We've gotta support of Titans, and I'm anxious for football

442
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: to start back this year. I hope we're gonna have

443
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: some one of some normalcy with some football coming back.

444
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: You know, just have to wait and see. It's been

445
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: a crazy year. Man. Yeah, I agree. Hey, Tracy, you

00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: joined in the house by our champion Adam Hamburg music

454
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: trivia against the musician. I got a little bit of

455
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: a sinus thing happening. Not Corona. I got another test

456
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: this morning. Negative. I get Corona tested more than anybody

457
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: I knew, does different jobs. Your nose used to it.

458
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: Yet I don't always do my nose the one I

459
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: do for that geo spit and so. But to get

460
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: this fancy NBA tests, well, it's an awkward amount of

461
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: pit too. It's it's you spit more and more and

462
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: then eventually you run out and they don't want you

463
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: to drink water. Oh wow, Okay, that's news. But yeah,

464
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: that's a little easier. But I tell you, you know what,

465
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: I took a nose one two days ago because I'm

466
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: doing my Heart Festival. I'm doing some post stuff there.

467
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: But anyone that comes on set had to get tested

468
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: with this test. But I actually like doing it to

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: myself with the nose more than I like when they

470
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: did it to my nose. Okay, that's interesting. I have

471
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: not heard of anybody doing that. There must be special privileges. Well,

472
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: they mail it to you. A lot of these tests

473
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: now are just mail, you know, unless you go any

474
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: tests I take now through the mail they come. I

475
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: put them in a biohazard bag when I'm done, and

476
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: then in a box and in another bag overnight. You're

00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: you run a test pro here. I probably in twenty

478
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: so far. Oh my gosh. So but yeah, so I

00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: don't have corona. Um, good for you. But you're back

480
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: at the scene of the crime. Hey, Mike, Adam and

481
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: I were playing basketball last Saturday. I think there's a

482
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: small group of us here playing um knockout, and they

483
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: were Adam had shot and somebody else had shot, and

484
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: they both throw a ball at me at the same

485
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: time Al was calling my nuts on was kind of

486
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: my face. I just instinctually cover one nuts and Adams

487
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: ball went right in my face. Man, Bryan the knows

488
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: and there's it Wasn't it hurt because anytime you get

Speaker 1: hitting the notes, that stucks. Man. That is not fun.

490

Speaker 1: That's not fun, dude. I saw it. It happened in

491
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: slow motion, like the ball left my hands, and then

492
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: you turned towards the ball that was kidding, headed towards

493
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: your nuts and and then you saw my ball coming

494
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: at the corner and you turned right into it, and

00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: my like, I buried my face in my hands. I

496
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,760
