So he helped write 104 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: the first article on teeth whitening in the early eighties. Um, 105 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: he was doing a research grant at un C, North 106 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: Carolina and Chapel Hill where we used to live. Um, 107 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: which I always leave out the story because I was 108 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: mostly in Augusta, Georgia for most of my life. But 109 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: and you and see, my dad was doing a research 110 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: grant and researching teeth whitening and wrote the first article 111 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: in the world about This is just nerd talk, but um, 112 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: the good alright, good. So my dad wrote the first 113 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: article in the world on using carbon my peroxide which 114 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: you put in the tray and you sleep in at night, um, 115 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: to try to whiten your teeth. So he wrote the 116 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: first article on that in the world in the early eighties. 117 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: And so people kind of coined him like the grandfather 118 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: of teeth whitening. Uh. And so he speaks on it 119 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: all around the world. Um. A lot of the rest 120 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: of the world is a lot farther behind and didental 121 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: work than America is. So he speaks a lot. A 122 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: majority of his time is around the world, all over 123 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: the place. I mean through Russia and Australia and Japan. Yeah, 124 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's he like travels more than we do 125 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: in the band. Your dad teaches school, so he teaches. Yeah, 126 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 1: he teaches um like sophomores and juniors because he loves teaching. 127 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: And in college yeah, um in the dental program in 128 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: dental school, so after college for their masters in dynastry 129 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: and stuff. So he teaches and then he does research 130 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: on teeth whitening and speaks, and then he also sees 131 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: some general patients. Would he have liked you to be 132 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: a dentist. He wanted me to be. He wanted me 133 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: to be I mean he you know, he would bring 134 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: home little exercises that his students would do when I 135 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: was young, where you have to work with chalk and 136 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: work with your hands and like form things. And I 137 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: tried it a few times. I just wasn't any good 138 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: at it. But it's just kind of gross to me. 139 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: But my dad, I will say, so to give that 140 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: a credit. The reason he loves dynastry is because this 141 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: sounds cheesy, but he does love to make people happy 142 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: and make people smile. So at the core of it, 143 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: he does it because he loves making other people happy. 144 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: And when you know, when you go in you get 145 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: everything done, then you like look in the mirror for 146 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: the first time you feel great about yourself. So yeah, 147 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: it's my confidence level. Yeah, is two points hired because 148 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: I my teeth are better, right, And that's what he 149 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: believes in. I mean, he really is like as gross 150 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: as being in the dental chair is and always you know, 151 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: somebody's over you trying to talk and all that stuff. 152 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: He loves it because he walked. When people walk out, 153 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: they smile and they're happy and they their confidence level 154 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: goes through the roof. So so he's academic. Yeah, do 155 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: you think a bit genetically that's why you are your 156 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: academic musically? I think so. Yeah, you see that same 157 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: trait where he associates himself with that that you're doing music. Yeah, 158 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. Yeah, has anyone ever 159 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: made that point? Yes, we have a breakthrough. Had I 160 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: had a coming over here. I was like, is this 161 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna be like my counseling sessions were like, you know, 162 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: people have cried in that chair and they didn't think 163 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: they were going to you know, with you know Robert 164 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: Eaton of course. Yeah, Yeah, he's a heartfelt guy. He 165 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, again, it's a great point. It's a good 166 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: point point, Bobby. I mean people that really come from 167 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: that place of like, I want to do something that matters. 168 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: And even though you wouldn't think like it's just dentistry, 169 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: it's just teeth. To my dad, it matters because it 170 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: does give people confidence. And I know Robert shares so 171 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: much of that. He's really passionate, you know, like he's 172 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: always moving and shaking for the TV shows and the 173 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: yard shows and the festivals that he's doing. But man, 174 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: at the core of it, he is just I mean 175 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: that carry Underwood moment that that you know happened at 176 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: the c M as all these things were just I mean, 177 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: that's what he lives for, is to make people feel 178 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: great in that. So when were you starting to go, 179 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty good at music then, I mean 180 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: growing up, I mean probably aged ten twelve. Quickly, I mean, 181 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: the guitar came really easy. And again my dad always 182 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: explained to me, he's like, you know what a talent is, right, 183 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: I was like, no, He's like, when it actually comes 184 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: to you really easily. And I was like, but it 185 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a talent because it's easy. And he's like, well, 186 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: that means you're talented at it. I was like, oh, 187 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: I guess I'm talented at guitar. It just came naturally 188 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and easy, UM and coming up with chord progressions and 189 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: coming up with UM. I would just use some basic 190 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: recording software, which was a cassette tape that had multi 191 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: tracks on it, and I would record like four track 192 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: instrumental little jams and I just play him in the 193 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: kitchen for my mom all the time. With drums. I 194 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: had a drum machine and bass and guitars and mandolin 195 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: and I just kind of make these little instrumental things. 196 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: And that was fun and that was easy, and I 197 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: felt like I came alive in that process. So I love. 198 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: That's when I got really into recording playing guitar. I 199 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: mean that was probably twelve thirteen years old. Put all 200 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: that in front of you, because someone had to say, 201 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: here's a guitar, here's how to run a four track. Yeah, 202 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: my dad gave me the first guitar, and he plays 203 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: banjo and guitar. My mom plays piano, and I really 204 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: learned it was a lot from them. We had a 205 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: music room just like a room, you know, kind of 206 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: like this, but all instruments lining the walls, and once 207 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: it was in front of me, I just I loved 208 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: learning instruments, and again it just came naturally, and it 209 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: was fun to figure out. When I figured out the mandolin, 210 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: you know, and and figured out the bass and all 211 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: these things. My dad taught me the core of guitar, 212 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: and my mom taught me the core of piano, but 213 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: kind of it's branched off into a lot of different instruments. 214 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: And then recording. I just fell in love with the 215 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: cassette tape recording, adding something on top, adding something else. 216 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean, nowadays the software is insane, you can do 217 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: that a million times, but back then you really had 218 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: to work hard to kind of navigate recording multiple tracks. 219 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: So did you want to be on a stage or 220 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: did you want to create from behind? I didn't want 221 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: to be on a stage, honestly, I would say when 222 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: I when I set out, it was the love of 223 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: creating music the studio and song or I would say 224 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: I hang my hat on songwriting and producing or being 225 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,119 Speaker 1: creative in the studio. Did you find the formula songwriting 226 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: would come to you pretty easy to Yeah, I mean 227 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: it just made sense in like a way that's it's 228 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: hard to describe. I mean, it's hard to describe what 229 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: I hear when I have an idea. I guess, you know, 230 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: like if somebody were to say, we need a song 231 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: for I mean, when we wrote Love Don't Live Here, 232 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: actually nobody probably ever knows this, which we can get deep. 233 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: I guess when we wrote Love Don't Live Here, we 234 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: had heard that um Harley Davidson was looking for a 235 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: theme song, and so, uh, Josh, Kelly, Charles's brother, told 236 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: us he's like, dude, Harley Davidson looking for a riff 237 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: for their theme song. And I was like, oh, I know, 238 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: I got some great ideas. I bet I can come 239 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: up with a riff for something. And we went through 240 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of riffs, and then the riff that we 241 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: settled on ended up being something we kept for ourselves, 242 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: which was Love Don't Live Here, the very opening guitar 243 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: riff of Love Don't Live Here, which is the first 244 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: song we ever put out as Lady in a Bellum. 245 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I don't know when I hear 246 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: songwriting to me, I feel like if you give me 247 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: an idea or say, man, we need a let's let's 248 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: write about this. Let's write about this mood. Let's write 249 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: about this fine forgive very first song? Uhte Harley and 250 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: kept for yourself. That's right. But yeah, that guitar riff 251 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: done and nona no no note coming up with that. 252 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean that, just that and that brings back good memories. 253 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: That's the old Paul Paul Worly days. Man, he's such 254 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: a cat in studio. I haven't heard that in a while. 255 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: Do you think of guys whenever you were coming up 256 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: and think of them in the studio? Are you talking 257 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: about Paul Warley? How much of him did you watch 258 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: and study? Because that's what you were really into. Yeah, 259 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: so that was what I was really into. So Dan 260 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: Huff Paul Whorley, we had Dan Huff on one of 261 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: these mind blown the whole thing. I was just staring 262 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: at him. It's so you should if you ever go 263 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: back and listen to podcast, listen to the Dan Huff one. 264 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: All it is me fan growing for our here's here's me. 265 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: Every question. You did that too, He's got a resume. 266 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: But that production I mean Mark Bright, so Mark Bright, 267 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean the first Carry record was sick, but Dan Huff, 268 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: Mark bright Um, Paul Whorley, and even Ed Cash. I 269 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: don't know if you know Ed Cash. He produced Dave 270 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: Barnes a lot of his records. But so yeah, those 271 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: guys are kind of to me my unsung heroes. And 272 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: you would watch and I would read all the liner notes. 273 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: I would do everything you could to understand what in 274 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: the world is Paul Worley doing on that Dixie Chicks record? 275 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: Like how does he get that? Like who came up 276 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: with that? Who came up with the fiddle on Cowboy 277 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: Take Me Away? Who came up with that? You know? 278 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: That was what blew my mind, was the production, the musicians, 279 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: and of course the songwriting. So I mean to go 280 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: back to your original question, did I moved to Nashville 281 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: to be under the bright lights and be in the 282 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: middle of the stage. It's a great, amazing perk of 283 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: what we get to do. But I would say what 284 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: I cut my teeth on in my core and my love, 285 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: absolutely love. I can stay up all night long sitting 286 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: in the studio working on stuff. The dynamic of the 287 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: group works because of that. Charles is big and loud, 288 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: of course, and he is a made frontman. Yeah, Hillary, 289 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: not as being alloud, but see great singer heart, Yes, passionate, passionate. 290 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: The would have made it themselves equally if they If 291 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: you guys never formed, another front man wouldn't have worked. 292 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: I hope that's fair to say, No fair to say 293 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: for sure what I would I've come to find out 294 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: over the years. Um, I've recently been diving into the 295 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: angeogram and podcasts. If you've heard of that personality test. 296 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: But there's a beautiful way that our personalities mix and match. 297 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: I mean it's really beautiful. I mean there's no other 298 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: way you could have orchestrated it. I mean, you know 299 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: the way me and Charles started, the way we met her, 300 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: and we are three completely different personalities, but it just works. 301 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: To be fair, I would say you are the frontman 302 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: in the studio, I'd say, it's a different it's like 303 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: a triangle. Well, we each have our roles. We The 304 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: way we say it a lot is we each have 305 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: our roles, I think. And Charles is so great live, 306 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: I mean so great live. I mean when we were 307 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: in middle school, he'd we'd be sitting I mean I 308 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: played guitar in a band, and so Charles would like 309 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: come up on stage like he does now, you know, 310 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: when he's always like, dude, lit me come up on 311 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: stage and thing. So he come up on stage in 312 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: middle school and do the same thing, and we played 313 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: Mustang Sally or play a James Brown's song, and he 314 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: would just light the room up. And he's eleven years old, 315 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: Like how do you do that? You know, because I'd 316 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: be back there playing all the parts and doing stuff. 317 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: And he's amazing live. And I think Hillary, like you said, 318 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: it's such an amazing passionate, heartfelt person and where's her 319 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: heart on her sleeve? And people connect with it and 320 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: they connect with her so much. And then what I 321 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: lose my what I will take to my grave is 322 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: I just am obsessed with songwriting and production and so 323 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: it's just this beautiful kind of triangle of the way 324 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: things that are married in our group. What's going of 325 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: the group? I mean, I would say they look to 326 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: me for like, hey, what do you think we should do? Um? 327 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there's always a producer there too, But what 328 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: I really I know us and I know what we'll do. Really, 329 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: the producer is helpful to kind of push us. But 330 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, I'm like, man, 331 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: we you know, we really we should add strings to this. 332 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: I really don't think we should. That guitar risk just 333 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: too cheesy for us. We wouldn't do that. Let me 334 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: try coming up with something myself. I think they look 335 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: to me musically for where we go and dynamically, and 336 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: I just know what I can hear that we're talking about. 337 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: You know a lot of times you kind of have 338 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: banter of like, man, it just doesn't feel right, just 339 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: doesn't feel right, Dave, what are we trying to articulate here? 340 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: It's like, dynamically, this isn't happening. How do we make 341 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: this happen in the studio? Is that getting really deep 342 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: into nerdy No? I think it's actually not nerdy enough here. 343 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: Let me let me talk about this for a second. 344 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: It's fitting that I do the show from my house 345 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: because Blue Apron also comes to my house and when 346 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: I talk about them during the podcast.

So I 372 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: was I was building. I was syndicating A Paul. That 373 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: was what I was doing at the time. I started 374 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: to build this syndication company. And I remember you guys 375 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: coming through, and I remember the name Lady Annabellum, which 376 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: was a weird name the first time you here, and 377 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: I thought Lady must be a bunch of girls. So 378 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: what was the process in naming the band because it's 379 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: a very feminine name, and was Hillary thought of since 380 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: it's Lady Annabelle and that people are gonna assume that 381 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: she's Annabellum? Was that a thing where everyone kept to 382 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: this day we will walk in the venue. I mean 383 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: literally to this day. I mean we were just on 384 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: an arena tour. Right backstage at Bridge Bridge Stone. I 385 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: heard a security guard say, well, what time does the 386 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: lady get here? And I was like, wow, you know, 387 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: it's just it really it's it's it's great humble pie, 388 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: but um, but yeah, I mean the process of us 389 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: coming up with it, it was just it was so 390 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: small and it didn't feel like it would be anything 391 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: that stuck because we were just trying to come up 392 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: with something weird enough to get people's attention, because that 393 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: was back in the MySpace days and you know, people 394 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: are probably tuning out what is my space? But you know, 395 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: we had all of our music up on my Space, 396 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: and we were trying to just come up with kind 397 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: of a wacky name, like his clickbait, you know, like 398 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: where somebody's that come there? Like what in the world 399 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: is that lady in a mountain? So that was kind 400 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: of the goal, was to come up with something so 401 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: weird people will click on it. And um, I mean 402 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: we came up with it taking pictures in front of 403 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: some old homes in Franklin. We drove out a little 404 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: bit past Cool Springs where we were and and took 405 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: some photos in front of these old kind of mansions 406 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: and stuff out there, beautiful Antebellum homes. Um, but yeah, 407 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: beautiful Annabellum homes. We were talking about how man, these 408 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: homes are really neat and there's such cool Annabellum homes 409 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: and we're like, well, that could be a band named Annabellum. 410 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: And then Charles was like, what about the ghost of 411 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: the Lady Annabellum, like there's a lady that lives in 412 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: the house, in the Antebellum home, the lady of Antebellum. 413 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: And we were like, man, it's so what was the 414 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: bandily reference? Like saving Jane, you know, like kind of 415 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: a feminine leaning name, but with like two bearded Harry guys, 416 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, dueling lead vocals and different 417 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: styles musically, it just was all I don't know what 418 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: happened really organically. Was it always thought of as dueling 419 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: lead vocals with us from the from the very beginning. 420 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: So the first song we wrote ever was a song 421 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: called All We'd Ever Need um, which was not a single, 422 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: but I remember we wrote it um. We were trying 423 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: to get on Hillary's bandwagon. So speaking of Hillary being 424 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: able to make it on her own, Charles and I 425 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: were like, you know what, we're riding her coattails all 426 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: the way to the bank and to the We were like, 427 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: she's gonna make it, man, She's huge. Her voice was insane, 428 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: and so we were trying to write songs for her. 429 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: And the first song we wrote was called All We'd 430 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: Ever Need and it was off Hillary singing the lead vocal, 431 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: and we were writing it, and she was like, God, 432 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: I just think Charles, you should sing. You've got a 433 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: great voice. I think you should sing lead on the 434 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: second verse and kind of enter is like the second 435 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: you know, the male partner, uh, from a story writing perspective, 436 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: And so once we had the both vocals in there, 437 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: it was like, well, this feels really cool and different. Um, 438 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: but we're like we you can't have two vocalists. You 439 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: can't have to vocalists in the band, so it's not 440 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna work. But this is really interesting. Maybe we'll pitch 441 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: Garth and Tricia or Sham and Faith or somebody doing 442 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: a duets record. But sure enough we started writing more 443 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: duets and then more kind of Hillary leads, Charles lead, 444 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: and of course a lot of three part harmony all 445 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: over the place. So it was very again organic, and 446 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: the way it all evolved and happened naturally, I mean 447 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: early on radio, I mean they told us to our face, 448 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: They're like, you know, we like you guys, but it's 449 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: not gonna work. You can't have two singers. You can't 450 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: have two lead singers. Nobody. Everyone's gonna get confused. And 451 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: we would reference you know, Fleetwood, Mac and the Eagles. 452 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: I mean all these bands that had multiple people singing 453 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 1: leading all of them. Yeah, I mean Timothy B. Schmidt 454 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: is my favorite Eagles member. Uh just with his voice, 455 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: you know, but uh yeah, I mean it's you know, 456 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: people said like, man, I don't think it's gonna work, 457 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: and you know, we were like we we stuck to 458 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: our guns. It felt organic, and it felt that's who 459 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: we were. It's crazy to the organic nous of just 460 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: you and Charles actually knowing each other for that long, 461 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: much less having working relationship with friendship. Because you brought 462 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: up the fact that, you know, in the middle school, 463 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: to have two people that are that talented though even 464 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: in a small town, yeah, just as weird. It's almost 465 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: the outlier effect. You had two people that were the 466 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: same thing, whose personalities happened to work compatible, incompatible. What 467 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: then you came to that is the odds of that 468 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: happening are crazy, it is. I mean, and and Charles 469 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: was like the only person. That's funny. You bring that up, 470 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 1: You bring up good points. I mean, I just remember 471 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: being in Augusta thinking I hear music so different. I 472 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: just when I hear the radio and I hear songs, 473 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: I hear production. I can't even articulate what goes on 474 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: in my head. There's a bazillion things for every track 475 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: I hear. And I was like, I just don't No 476 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: one else understands that. But then when I met Charles 477 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: and we started to kind of do some writing and 478 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: played in bands and did I was like, he gets it, man, 479 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: Like I think he here and we when when we 480 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: started writing together in college at University of Georgia, I 481 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, we're on the same wavelength and and 482 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: it is rare. I mean, to both come out of 483 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: the same town. Um, it's a weird The creative brain 484 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: is just a it's a weird thing to explain, you know. 485 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: I know people are always like, how do you write songs? 486 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: How do you come up with ideas? How do you 487 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: do stuff? And it's it's hard thinking like asking how 488 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: do you run fast? Which I can't do right? Well, 489 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if I actually run, but it's for me, 490 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, how do you think quick? Yeah? Like I've 491 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: got his gifted me with a talent, and I've learned 492 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: how to take this talent and put it into the 493 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: tunnel and drill it down. But I think we all 494 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: have something that we're right naturally good at. Yeah, and 495 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: then that's the beauty of a talent. Again, like my 496 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: dad told me, I didn't get what a talent was. 497 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: I didn't see it because it came easy to me. 498 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: I I figured a talent was like something you really 499 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: had to like. Hope this doesn't sound backwards, but you know, 500 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: like something you had to work really hard. Like I 501 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: wanted to play sports. I just was not good at sports, 502 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: any of them really. Uh, And I wanted so bad 503 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: to be talented at sports, but I just wasn't. But 504 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: music was just easy. I was like, well, that's easy. 505 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: I know exactly what a song come on the radio. 506 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: I can mostly tell you what key gets in. You 507 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: can hear the key. Yeah, pretty much. That came off more. 508 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: That sounded really pretentious as I said it, But knowing 509 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: guitar so well, I just know what chords are playing. 510 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: The thing about podcast, most listeners are potentious. We're all good, 511 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: We're all the same potentious room together. Anyone's listening to 512 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: this as elite. If they made it the thirty minutes 513 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: in already, then this is there even more elite. So 514 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: you say you and jokingly said that you and Charles, 515 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna write Hillary's coattails and I don't use the 516 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: same term. But when you and Charles came to town, 517 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: did you just want to write for Charles and play 518 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: for Charles? I did so. When we got to town, 519 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: we were doing pop music. Um, you moved to Nashville 520 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: to pop music. I moved to Nashville to write music. 521 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: This is I love it going back. Man. We moved 522 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: to Nashville because to Josh Kelly. So Charles has Charles 523 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: has an older brother, Josh Kelly, who had a big 524 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: pop song called Amazing Um which was huge in two 525 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: thousand three, I think. And so he bought a house 526 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: in Cool Springs and said, dude, you guys man, he's 527 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: so nice. He's so kind. He said, y'all kind of 528 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: Nashville man, you guys have the talent like come and 529 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: just try to write music. So me and Charles moved 530 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: into his house and Cool Springs together under the goal 531 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: of just writing songs. We wanted to be songwriters. Once 532 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: we got there, Charles and I started to write songs 533 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: together a lot and made a CD under his name 534 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: to CDs under his name at UM at the home 535 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: studio there and so yeah, I mean we were doing 536 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: pop stuff under Charles name, and we travel all around 537 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: and play coffee shops and really small, really small places. 538 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: In your class of moving to Nashville, because it seems 539 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: everybody has a class. They all moved at the same time, 540 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: and they were My ours was around Luke Um, I remember, 541 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: because we were from Georgia. So I remember a bunch 542 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: of my friends from Georgia Southern you know, we were 543 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: going to move to Nashville, and they're like, dude, there's 544 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: this country guy. You know, Luke Brian. Keep an out 545 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: for him. He got a record deal about a year 546 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: before Um we did, I believe, And I remember he 547 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: was in that development deal and record deal around the 548 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: same time. So kind of the Luke Brian era. A 549 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: couple of those people, I mean Miranda was before us, um, 550 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean Luke was would be probably our closest, like, 551 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: both at the same record label, both from Georgia, new 552 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: mutual friends and stuff moved to Nashville. You and Charles 553 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: and one and I get to this in a minute, 554 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: and you talk about my Space and how it was 555 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: such a big part, but you don't even have a 556 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: Twitter page like social media was such a big part 557 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: of you guys a story, yet you don't have a 558 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: Twitter page and just got on Instagram. Personally, yes, Dave Heywood, personally, 559 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: I know you didn't. But again, there's a little bit 560 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: of beauty to the irony of social media being is 561 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: such a big part of the story of your life 562 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: and career and now you just aren't on it. Yeah. 563 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: I can talk about this for hours. You could do 564 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: a whole another podcast on social media. For me, I 565 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: know computer programming all up really well. That was my 566 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: major in college was um Information Systems Technology. That sounds 567 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: really nerdy for all the listeners out there, but I 568 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: was an m I s TA major at U g 569 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: A and so study computer programming. So I know backwards 570 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: and forwards Facebook when it came out, and social media 571 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: and what it does and how it operates, and I 572 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: love For a time, I loved being on it, and 573 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: our band started doing so much on my Space and 574 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: we did these webisodes once a week. UM. I feel 575 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: like we were on the first people to really have 576 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: a camera out a lot and capture a lot of 577 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: webisodes early on in country music, UM, and so that 578 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: was our main thing. But for me now I just 579 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: kind of kind of pulled back. I mean, just there's 580 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: kind of this thing that happens with me where my 581 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: personality type um aniagram nine. For all the Instagram listeners 582 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: out there, my personality type just doesn't do well with 583 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: tons and tons of exposure and critique with my personal stuff, 584 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: you know. So for me, UM, just to be completely 585 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: honest with you, there's just boundaries I have. UM They're 586 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: healthy boundaries that I've worked through that are best for me. UM. 587 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: I'll share once every few weeks what I'm kind of 588 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: doing with my family. But for me, I have to 589 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: kind of pull back and I have to have those 590 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: boundaries about things that are private between you know, stuff 591 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: with our kids and stuff with my wife. I don't know, 592 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: I there's a beauty and and letting people walk through 593 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: a journey with you. I really think there's a beauty 594 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: in that. UM. But for me, there's parts of personal 595 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: life that I just have some boundaries with. Personally, I 596 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: don't document every day what I do. UM, I just 597 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: kind of enjoy I feel pressure. My personality type feels 598 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: the pressure to perform. UM If I have to know 599 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: that every single day, I've got an instant story Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, 600 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: and know what I'm doing is really really awesome every day. 601 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: My personality type doesn't do well with that kind of 602 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: performance and pressure on a day to day basis, So 603 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: for me, I do better kind of pulling back and 604 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: then popping in with like hey check this out, we 605 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: had a baby, or you know, hey, we're doing this 606 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: in the studio. But for me, I just kind of 607 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: enjoy Um, I enjoy that boundary. Is that okay to say? 608 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: I think any boundary that you set up front is 609 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: a fair boundary. I think where people get in trouble 610 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: is if they're posting lots of things, and we'll talk 611 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: about social media specifically, they post and they put and 612 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden they demand, no, this is 613 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: my personal life. Yeah, it's you have to condition people 614 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: to be conditioned, and so if you're set in the boundary, 615 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: you can live within it. It's really talking about and 616 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: we won't see who we're talking about. Somebody in the 617 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: media earlier, and we My point about them was they're 618 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: always consistent. I enjoy that, regardless of if I agree 619 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: with them or not. I just enjoy consistency in humans 620 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: in media. I try to give it sometimes I'm consistently inconsistent, 621 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: and that's even a sort of consistent to see right 622 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: right right where. That took me a second. So with 623 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: social media, that the answer for me is if that's 624 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: your rule, don't we all play by it. Now. If 625 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: it's your rule, but you change it up and then 626 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: you demand other people follow your then it gets a 627 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: little squishy, right. I think that's completely fair. I just 628 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: saw the irony and my Space was a big part 629 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: of Lady and a Bellum. I can't find you on Twitter. 630 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: I can't go at Dave Heywood have hashtag Dave Heywood. 631 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: Just it's like at Charles Kelly l A and then 632 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: hashtag Dave Heywood because he doesn't exist. I'm in the 633 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: minority here. I understand that. Me uh me not being 634 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: on on all social media. I'm in the minority. I 635 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: get that. And I know I probably sound really old 636 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: school and people are going to roll their eyes at it. 637 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: But for me, again, my personality type just has to 638 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: have time for me to retreat, for me to process 639 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: things and to live my best life. I have to 640 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: pull back and when I go home, I have to 641 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: not share it. That um, and I'll give you just 642 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: a completly candid, completely candid and personal experience and story 643 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: about that end of last year. I had a little 644 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: season of anxiety in my life. Uh, some panic attacks. 645 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: Everything kind of came crashing down for a little bit. 646 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: And I said a million times for myself, if I 647 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: had the pressure every day that I would have had 648 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: to post on social media during that time, it would 649 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: have broken me down even more. Um, it was just 650 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: a season of a lot of things. And again I 651 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: have boundaries with what I even share, but I want 652 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: people to know that it's okay to go through those 653 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: things for me. I just I didn't have I would 654 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: have been so wrecked if I was going through all 655 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: this stuff personally and I had to post today was awesome, 656 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: Today was sick. You know. I just had the best 657 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: lit breakfast with my bros. Like I mean, I just 658 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I had a little rough patch of some 659 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: personal things. So I don't know. It's for me again, 660 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: it's my really, it's my um personality type that does 661 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: the best when I can have moments to retreat, process, 662 00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: pull back and have time for me. I just have 663 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: to have are about time for me that's not shared. 664 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: If that's okay that anxiety. I was on some crazy 665 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: anxiety medicine for a long time. I've never really seen 666 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: and I never thought it was until I actually went 667 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: through it, and it would almost it felt like egg 668 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: coming over me that I couldn't get out of, or 669 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: like what you know, what the mind does the hands. Yeah, 670 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: it felt like that was around me and I couldn't 671 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: control it. And then I got into medicine. I couldn't 672 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: get off the whole thing. Yeah, absolutely, And it's you know, 673 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: I never, I never fully understood mental health. And I'll 674 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: be completely honest, and I actually I feel like I 675 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: can empathize now because I was trapped in in some 676 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: deep anxiety and panic attacks for about three months, and man, 677 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: it sucks. It completely sucks. You feel alone, you feel fear, 678 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 1: nobody can understand. You feel like nobody understands. That's how 679 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: I felt. Yeah, people get butterflies and I get better. 680 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: But again, it's if you take a flamethrower of butterflies 681 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: and shoot them, ripe people a hole that into your body. 682 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: That's really what it feels like and you Yeah, and 683 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: I still have anxiety. I go to therapist all time. 684 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: I've been way too much money there you should. Man. 685 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: Counseling is so it's life changing. It's completely that changing 686 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: for me. It lets me look at me. Yeah, that's 687 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: the whole mirror I've ever had. It's like somebody gives you, 688 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: they hold a mirror and say, well, here's here's what 689 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: you're saying. Here's where awareness is. Self awareness it is 690 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: And that's my struggle is looking at myself in a 691 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: natural way. Right, And it's it's hard and you don't 692 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: want to do it sometimes. Yeah, it's I'm telling you 693 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: it's it's so worth it. It's been a life changer 694 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: for me. I mean I even spent some time at 695 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: this place called on Site, which is a spiritual girl's place. 696 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: You brought that up, listen, you went, okay, let me 697 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: tell you what happened. Because she's not gonnare I mentioned this. 698 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: So she just went two different people. Yeah, yes, before 699 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: and after and I know Miles the CEO. So I 700 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: did I did TED Oh now we're going so because 701 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: I got so many questions and uh so I did 702 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: a TED talk and I did a TED talk on 703 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: successful people and how losing and failure is pivotal and 704 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: success and we and that's counterintuitive to what we see 705 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: that we think somebody just goes, hey, I'm good at something, 706 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: that they just win life, and that's really not what happens. 707 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: Even the best people struggle, and the struggles what makes 708 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: them and separates them from the good. So I do 709 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: this Ted talk and Miles, who runs on site, I 710 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: meet him for the first time. He does it right 711 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: right before me or after me, and I say, hey, 712 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: because I'm big into therapy. Make jokes, but I'm big 713 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: into it. It's changed my life. So I say, you know, 714 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 1: I have this house and it's all right outside of Nashville. 715 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: Shoul come check it out.

I think Charles and his memory and 988 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 1: his passion and ear from music, He was like, what 989 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: about that? Remember that song we wrote Josh here that day. 990 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like it sounds just like 991 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: it'd be a cool album track, you know, kind of 992 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: one of those like kind of insider songs that like 993 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 1: people just love the vibe, you know, it's it could 994 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 1: probably have like a cool vibe. Um, what if we 995 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: you know, in the the acoustic demo, I want to 996 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: play you some of that. I mean, the acoustic demo 997 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 1: is just we're fumbling all over the melody, you know, 998 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,759 Speaker 1: it's like he messes up a lyric and it was 999 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,720 Speaker 1: just all over the place. The acoustic demo was really 1000 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: just it was just a voice in the moe from 1001 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,799 Speaker 1: our phone, and so it sounded really rough. But we 1002 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 1: were like a couple of the people in the room 1003 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 1: Autumn House, Mike Dungan, Um, they all kind of perked 1004 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: up there like that could be kind of cool. Why 1005 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: don't you guys try that? And so still we didn't 1006 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 1: know what was happening. We got in the studio and 1007 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: recorded it, and I think once we got in there 1008 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: and Paul Worley got his hands on it, he made 1009 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 1: so the piano part, Mike Rojas was tinkering around, you 1010 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: know when you're warming up in the studio, and he 1011 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 1: started to kind of do that on the outro of 1012 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: the song, and we were like, man, do that on 1013 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: the intro. That's like a hook. That sounds like one 1014 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: of those big hooks. The baseline, this guy named Craig 1015 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 1: Young play that Paul Worley got. I could geek out 1016 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 1: on these guys names for for for hours. But um, 1017 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 1: some of the bass playing, piano, playing guitar, I mean 1018 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,760 Speaker 1: me and Paul played about acoustic guitars on that song. 1019 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: So when it gets to the chorus on the song, acoustics. 1020 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,399 Speaker 1: So this is an old Um, I won't go down 1021 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 1: this tangent forever. This is an old Crosby steals in 1022 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: Nash and Young trick that Paul worley knew where you 1023 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: kind of if you have like up to twenty to 1024 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,840 Speaker 1: thirty acoustics, it makes it feel like the whole song 1025 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:59,319 Speaker 1: chugs along really like it's like a wall of sound. Right. 1026 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 1: So if you notice on the course there's just this jinging, jinginginging, 1027 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: straight kind of thing, And that's about acoustics in the background. 1028 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not the same. If you want to 1029 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: to in today's world, you could just duplicate him, yeah, 1030 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,760 Speaker 1: but to have different guitars with different woods and different 1031 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: strings from different eras in different times, all surrounding in stereo, 1032 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,480 Speaker 1: different guitars all playing. And you know, Paul plays a 1033 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 1: little different than I play, and I play a little 1034 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: different and finger some of the chords differently with different voicings. 1035 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 1: But just those little nuances on the track. When Paul 1036 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: Worlely got and and dug in with that song, I mean, 1037 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,800 Speaker 1: I gotta give it to micro Haas. The piano stuff 1038 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 1: is amazing on that song, and I gotta give it 1039 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,640 Speaker 1: to Paul worly Man. He is such a champion for 1040 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: great art and he takes his time with it, and 1041 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: that can be hard with patients and studio because We 1042 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,640 Speaker 1: all want to just pump out a track in one day, 1043 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: but Paul will sit on it and work on it 1044 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: and work on it, and then two months later you're like, wow, 1045 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: this thing sounds timeless. So you write it, you think 1046 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,120 Speaker 1: it's a song. Then it's sitting there and you think 1047 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 1: this is a song. Cut it. When do you realize 1048 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 1: that it could be special? Um? Once we cut it 1049 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: and we started showing it to people, so we recorded 1050 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: it and we started playing it for you know, our friends. UM. 1051 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't married at the time. I wouldn't 1052 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 1: say my wife, but friends and people the label and management, 1053 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 1: and they're like, man, that's like that could be really 1054 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 1: a crazy cool kind of first single. Um. And we're like, no, 1055 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 1: we need to have a tempo. Isn't that what you're 1056 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 1: supposed to do. You're supposed to have like the rocking 1057 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: tempo is your first song. And they were like, man, 1058 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,080 Speaker 1: it just this feels like a piece of art. It 1059 00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: feels like art. And we were all about it. We 1060 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,640 Speaker 1: just thought it would be the album track, but we 1061 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: were all about it. I mean it was it was 1062 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,160 Speaker 1: all of our favorite song that we had recorded for 1063 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 1: the needs you now for that record so you have 1064 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,320 Speaker 1: the song and it goes to country radio first and 1065 00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 1: it splashes, Yeah it does. At what point do you 1066 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 1: realize that the splash is bigger than what we expect 1067 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 1: did it to be? So we started getting calls. I mean, 1068 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: to this day, nothing will ever happen like this ever again. 1069 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: It just won't the stars aligned. I mean we started 1070 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:15,480 Speaker 1: getting calls from every format um, and then all around 1071 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 1: the world. I mean literally, I'd have to pull up 1072 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: the emails. I remember emails from like, hey, there's just 1073 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, the people in Italy heard it, people in 1074 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: Romania heard it, people in Russian and Australia and Japan, 1075 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,919 Speaker 1: all these people all around the world want to start 1076 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,319 Speaker 1: spinning the song. And I was like what, like, how 1077 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: did you know? I mean it it literally spread like wildfire. 1078 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 1: I mean country radio. It went to number one for 1079 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 1: four or five weeks um, and stay there for four 1080 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: or five weeks, and then we sent it to pop radio, um, 1081 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, which we caught a little flak four people. 1082 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 1: Do you know when you kind of crossover or send 1083 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,879 Speaker 1: a song out to a different format and stuff. So 1084 00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 1: I get that, but it went huge. It just went massive. 1085 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 1: I remember when the song came and that's when I 1086 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 1: remember when that band with the crazy name was the 1087 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,719 Speaker 1: band of the song that we're playing a pop At 1088 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: what point did it feel like where did this is 1089 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: a whole new ball game. It's a whole new ball 1090 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean the international stuff Canada and Europe. It took 1091 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 1: off in Canada and Europe and we started getting request to, 1092 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 1: you know, play in London, and play in Toronto, and 1093 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 1: go play in Australia. I mean that was like for me, 1094 00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 1: we felt like the little kids from the country who 1095 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: get to go play in the big cities all around 1096 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,719 Speaker 1: the world. Um, did you get lost in that? Was 1097 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: it so much in a quick beat? Or did you 1098 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: actually we're able to dissect it a bit and enjoy it. 1099 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,799 Speaker 1: That's a tough one. That's a really tough question. There's 1100 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 1: definitely parts that we didn't dissect. I mean, we didn't 1101 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: have anything to gauge it off of, so it was 1102 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: all happening for the first time. You know. It's like 1103 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 1: whenever if anything ever happens and something takes off, you 1104 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: don't know what to gauge it against. This it never 1105 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,399 Speaker 1: happened before. Uh, did you reach out to anyone who 1106 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 1: had crossed over inside the That's always what I wonder, 1107 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 1: because there are a few that it crossed over inside 1108 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: the format that you said, Hey, I'm going into the 1109 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: pop world, in the hot A C world. You know, 1110 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: what are the things that happened to you that I 1111 00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,479 Speaker 1: don't expect? Did you mean we didn't have anybody? I guess. 1112 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 1: I mean our manager, Gary Borman did a great job. Um, 1113 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: at the time, we were with Gary Borman, and he 1114 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: did a great job of having a lot of experience 1115 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,919 Speaker 1: with a lot of pop acts and also Keith Urban. 1116 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 1: He represents Keith Urban, and Keith had a lot He 1117 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: has a lot of music that really goes around the world. 1118 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: I don't know if people really realize how big he 1119 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 1: is in Europe, in Canada and Australian stuff. So he 1120 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: had some experience with with Keith with a lot of 1121 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 1: international success. But it was just the three of us 1122 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,439 Speaker 1: kind of strapping on from holding on for dear life. 1123 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a wild, crazy ride. Um, it's 1124 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: so hard. You know. I watched people on TV now 1125 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 1: that go through these things, you know, when we were 1126 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: at the Grammys two, I'm watching Alicia Carra and all 1127 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: the new artists and you know when Sam Hunt was 1128 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 1: taken off, and then you know, you watch all these 1129 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: since Stapleton what he's going through, and whoa, it's crazy. 1130 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's insane are as, it's all the time, 1131 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: and you kind of lose yourself in that because you 1132 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 1: think you're supposed to say yes to everything, and you 1133 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: do say yes to everything. And I mean, I remember 1134 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,759 Speaker 1: a vivid moment. Taylor Swift was about a year ahead 1135 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: of us in country music. She won New Artist of 1136 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 1: the Year at the A c m S and the 1137 00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: c M A.

So we after 1143 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: the night of the Grammys and oh nine or two 1144 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: thousand ten, I forget the year where we won for 1145 00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: record and solid the year on five in one night 1146 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 1: Needs for Needs You now, I mean song of the 1147 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,840 Speaker 1: Year and um single was single one of the Grant No. 1148 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: There there were a few country ones and then a 1149 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:59,959 Speaker 1: few of the and then the two all genres.

Um, I 1160 00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: loved your interview of his by the way, really cool 1161 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,800 Speaker 1: because I grew up in Georgia. I loved his history 1162 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 1: at in Atlanta with Clay Cook and stuff. Um, which 1163 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 1: is the whole Clay cooking is crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, 1164 00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: the whole for those are Clays now with Zach Brown, 1165 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,719 Speaker 1: Clay is awesome. But him and John were together. I 1166 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 1: love Christian Bush was in a few days ago. There's 1167 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:47,759 Speaker 1: one that just went up. You know, Christian was on 1168 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: the John and of course Christian was the first band 1169 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 1: to ever play at his attic and that's where John 1170 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,879 Speaker 1: kind of came up. But again we're nerding on something. 1171 00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 1: Was there a part of and again, I'm just jumping out. 1172 00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: Let me finish that thought real quick, just because I 1173 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 1: was gonna say we as a band, I think made 1174 00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:05,800 Speaker 1: a conscious I didn't mean to cut you off with 1175 00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,560 Speaker 1: that felt, but we as a band. I remember after 1176 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,919 Speaker 1: we won all those Grammys, everything came in, go play 1177 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,279 Speaker 1: around the world, do everything. I remember thinking, the three 1178 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: of us discussing because you know, we're like, I just 1179 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,719 Speaker 1: don't I don't want to lose myself. I don't want to. 1180 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to work that much. You know, we 1181 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: kind of hit this point in our career where we 1182 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: said we could work three hundred and sixty five days 1183 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: a year because there's enough stuff that's coming in right 1184 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: now that we could. But I don't want to. Um, 1185 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,279 Speaker 1: you know, I want to. I want to work and 1186 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: play hundred fifty two hundred shows, you know, do radio, 1187 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,359 Speaker 1: do some great fun things, and record, But I don't 1188 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 1: want to work every day of the year. And so 1189 00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,920 Speaker 1: everything came in where we could have lost ourselves in it. 1190 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: But I would say between the three of us and 1191 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: the perks of being in a group, you're able to 1192 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: have conversation with each other and work through things together. 1193 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: And we kind of said, you know what, this is 1194 00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:59,359 Speaker 1: amazing the success. Let's keep it going with with as 1195 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,640 Speaker 1: much as we can in but not at the sacrifice 1196 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 1: of ourselves. So where my mind goes you're telling the 1197 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 1: story is that instead of thinking how amazing this is, 1198 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 1: is that something great happens, how in the world do 1199 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: you follow it up? Because nothing's ever going to follow 1200 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,360 Speaker 1: that up? Nothing, nothing, It was a perfect storm. So 1201 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, what do you put out after when it 1202 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: doesn't do the same? Do you feel like a failure 1203 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 1: even though it's doing amazing relatively to everything else except 1204 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: that one lightning in a bottle? I mean, I can't 1205 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 1: ever use the word failure. I mean everything that we've 1206 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: done in music, I just feel lucky that we get 1207 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: to do music. Honestly. Um So, that was just beyond 1208 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 1: any wildest expectation, and it was just a rare moment. 1209 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, because it's also the first time 1210 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 1: somebody hears about it. Let me imagine the first time 1211 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 1: you hear about a band too. There's kind of that 1212 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,439 Speaker 1: you can't get enough of it. I mean the first 1213 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,600 Speaker 1: time I heard about you know him this, you know 1214 00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,640 Speaker 1: pop trio, I was like, oh my god, I watched 1215 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 1: every YouTube you could possibly watch, which I love them 1216 00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 1: and obsessed with them. Um female pop group that everybody 1217 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: wants to spell it. But yeah, I don't know if 1218 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 1: I said it right. That's how I don't either. And 1219 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: when you said this, I know you're smart. When you said, Jeff, 1220 00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,160 Speaker 1: that's how people that really know say it. But the 1221 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 1: rest of us say gift, and so all the term 1222 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:20,600 Speaker 1: now with the normals, not you us, the normals the 1223 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 1: down below. Everybody says a gift. But when someone says Jeff, 1224 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 1: you know they really know what. Yeah, I didn't just 1225 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,880 Speaker 1: come to play today. This is real? So need you now? 1226 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: Crushes it? What's The next single was the American Honey, 1227 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,280 Speaker 1: which was But was there a bit of huh? I 1228 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 1: wonder if this one cross over because it was so 1229 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 1: big the time before. Yeah, of course, of course, I 1230 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: mean absolutely. I mean it's hard, it's really tough. You 1231 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 1: put all this pressure on yourself. I don't driving myself crazy? Yeah, 1232 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 1: did you telling the story? I'm going, Oh, I'm insane 1233 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 1: like that way through the ride because I'm going the 1234 00:58:58,200 --> 00:58:59,760 Speaker 1: next ride. I gotta start building. If I knew what 1235 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 1: how about my personality type and everything I've learned about 1236 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 1: myself in the last six months at you know, counseling 1237 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: and on site and everything. Oh my gosh, I would 1238 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 1: have it would have been It would have been helpful 1239 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,080 Speaker 1: to know that much about myself. But maybe I'm grateful 1240 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: I didn't know as much about myself and I just 1241 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: we kept our foot on the gas and just kept going. 1242 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you we ran into that for 1243 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,640 Speaker 1: the next record, I think for the following record. But 1244 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 1: those songs did well at country. UM, we had Just 1245 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: a Kiss and we Own the Night, which came out 1246 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: on our third record. But I don't know, then we 1247 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:31,960 Speaker 1: started asking. I think we hit a point where we 1248 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,720 Speaker 1: started second guessing ourselves, you know, which is all let 1249 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 1: into I mean, you know, if anybody knows our evolution 1250 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: and our journey, you know, leading into a UM. You know, 1251 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 1: we had some songs. Maybe people don't know about them 1252 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 1: because they didn't work, But we had a few singles 1253 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 1: at radio that didn't do anything. Um, Goodbye Town was 1254 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 1: a struggle for us. UM Freestyle didn't really work. Hello 1255 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: World was really a struggle. UM. And why do you 1256 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 1: think those were a struggle? What? What moved well at 1257 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 1: that point in time? I think some lady and a belle, 1258 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 1: and fatigue began. I really do. I think there's too 1259 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,760 Speaker 1: much lady A, too much, you know, and and it's 1260 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 1: just a natural cycle. I get it with anything. Sports 1261 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,800 Speaker 1: teams that always win. I mean we had, we had, 1262 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,760 Speaker 1: we had won a lot, and our songs have been 1263 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 1: all number ones for a while, and then you know, 1264 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,560 Speaker 1: you get to a point where if the song isn't 1265 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: maybe as special, it's like, well we've heard, We've already 1266 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: heard that style from them. We get what they do. 1267 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 1: So there were a couple of mrs for us. I 1268 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 1: mean that kind of led into I think some second 1269 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 1: guessing for us as lady A. We kind of started 1270 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 1: to lean more on the business side of like, well 1271 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 1: we gotta get some hits again, guys. And then we 1272 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 1: just like what happened to us when we made music 1273 01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:46,880 Speaker 1: that we didn't care about where we lived in Josh 1274 01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 1: Kelly's house and we wrote I Run to You, and 1275 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,919 Speaker 1: we wrote love Don't live Here, and we wrote needs 1276 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,720 Speaker 1: You Now? I mean, what happened to that? You know? 1277 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 1: How did we get that? And and those songs came 1278 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 1: about because we weren't thinking. And then we went into 1279 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 1: a period of our career where we started thinking too much. 1280 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 1: I think and and I think anybody that probably hits 1281 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 1: seven years, ten years, fifteen years, and there's been a 1282 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 1: lot of great people in this seat on your podcast 1283 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 1: that probably would say the same thing. There's just ebbs 1284 01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 1: and flows, and you do you get to that point 1285 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 1: where you you lose a little bit of what got 1286 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 1: you where where you are. Do you feel like you've 1287 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 1: got some of that back or all of that back, 1288 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: or a different back. For Heartbreak, I think we got 1289 01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I think we got it back. I really think we 1290 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 1: got it back. Um. I think we said that we 1291 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 1: got it back on some earlier records. Um. But you know, 1292 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: we obviously had a break, had some time away, different 1293 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 1: projects were out, time to just kind of reconnect with 1294 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,240 Speaker 1: who we are.

So and I with songwriters, and I've 1342 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 1: gotten to know a lot of them on a much 1343 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: closer level because of doing this. This has been a 1344 01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 1: great environment for me to get to know people, and 1345 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,760 Speaker 1: they get to ask questions I would never ask in 1346 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:25,200 Speaker 1: my life. And I've also learned that with some songwriters, 1347 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 1: when they tell stories about their big songs, they have 1348 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 1: to almost have revisionist history because they write so many 1349 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,800 Speaker 1: songs and they don't remember, but they have to have 1350 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 1: a story because someone goes, tell me when you wrote 1351 01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: the house that built me, And if you don't have 1352 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,360 Speaker 1: a story, it kind of lets people down.
