That's awesome. 00:04:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was she should read like her vocal would shoot. 00:04:18 Speaker 3: I don't know what. We played some songs. 00:04:20 Speaker 2: We were playing Sister Act thing and I'm like, I'm a singer. I love good singers like I've you know, always have, and I have never been in a room as close to as perfect for a lack of a better term, of a singer. 00:04:38 Speaker 3: She is. 00:04:39 Speaker 2: It blew me like like I was like, oh my gosh, bro, I need to just shut up and let her do her thing, because she is that good, like good enough to where if you've never heard her sing, you've never heard anything like that. You know what I'm saying. 00:04:52 Speaker 1: Yeah, tone, just she opened her mouth and it's it's beautiful, man, Agree, it's beautiful. 00:04:58 Speaker 3: I was petty this morning.

Just need to get it out Wedgewood exit. You know. Well, I'm in the far right lane and it looks kind of like there's a bunch of people about to turn right. So I was like, oh, I'll just sneak over into the so as I put my blinker on, I go to sneak this Accura MDX with the mom and. 00:05:29 Speaker 2: It just wow, was what was it black? Was the car black? I don't know why there was somebody screaming by me on sixty five I was cutting through traffic. 00:05:40 Speaker 3: It was an accurate anyway flies a fly. So I was like, oh, dang, they're in more of a herry than I am. I just kind of ease back into my lane, right, dude, she comes by me and just goes. 00:05:51 Speaker 4: No way, and I was like, so good morning. 00:05:58 Speaker 3: So it gets even better. Light turns yellow. As she's coming down the hill, it's she stops. She has she's the third car back. There's nobody in front, there's no cars from me. I could have pulled past her up to the red, but instead stopped right beside her, locked him up, didn't look at her, didn't say nothing, didn't flip her off. 00:06:22 Speaker 4: Made her nervous. 00:06:22 Speaker 3: I just sat there. I just sat there, made her think about it, and I was like, I just want her to see how calm and collected and not b. 00:06:32 Speaker 1: She saw that brow though, man, is true, and I know that I'm not. 00:06:40 Speaker 3: I can't say that I feel good about intentionally intimidating a woman. But that felt pretty good, dude, felt pretty good because. 00:06:48 Speaker 1: She made the first move. Does she picked the fight? I wasn't picking the fight. 00:06:51 Speaker 2: You think you had her shaking in her booths? 00:06:53 Speaker 3: Man? 00:06:53 Speaker 2: You think she I think. 00:06:54 Speaker 3: She was like, Man, I probably shouldn't have flipped that guy, off and then had to or I probably should have had the wherewithal to check a light before I flipped the birdie to this three hundred pounder. 00:07:04 Speaker 2: When it is the last time you flipped the bird at somebody. 00:07:07 Speaker 3: In minute, both of you yesterday. 00:07:09 Speaker 1: What I'm just kidding and a minute you. 00:07:12 Speaker 2: Don't seem like a bird flipper. You we give somebody the bird if they cut in front of your something. 00:07:17 Speaker 3: No, which this one? 00:07:20 Speaker 1: This I give that, I give this straight out. There's a there's a thumb in it. 00:07:26 Speaker 3: You're doing this like pistol flipp I mean, I'm like, like, I don't want that thing to stretch out. 00:07:33 Speaker 1: I think, I think, I really I tell people I love Jesus and I say the F word every now and then, and I really like that word, and I think the F word. 00:07:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what I mean. 00:07:46 Speaker 1: I grew up. It was totally off. But here's what as as songwriters, I got obsessed with words. 00:07:54 Speaker 4: So Vicky Bell was a thing, Batman's Vicky Bell, and. 00:07:57 Speaker 1: So I started saying Vicky Bell and turned into and then Vicky Bell. Vicky vale Is was maybe I made it up, but it's Batman's woman. 00:08:06 Speaker 4: Wasn't it Vicky Vale. 00:08:07 Speaker 2: Yeah, you've looked at me and said, Vicky Vale, baban. I just took my head, yeah, like I'm. 00:08:13 Speaker 1: Going somewhere going Sorry, Vicky Vale turned into the F word, which I've already said, sorry, mom, but. 00:08:23 Speaker 2: We can tell you We'll put a turkey gobblay goden country here we go. 00:08:27 Speaker 1: But where I'm going with this is is like the F word carries weight. 00:08:33 Speaker 3: H So Vicky Vale got fat. 00:08:35 Speaker 1: No, Vicky Veale turned into the F word because I'd be like Vicky Vale, Vicky Vale, Vicky Veale, and I'd start rhyming because I was a rhymer at a young age. I was a rapper and wanted to do that. But Vicky vel turned into the F word. My mom heard me, and I got in a lot of trouble because that was like the first time I'd said the F word in front of my mom at eight. So the F word became I was like, whoa. It caused the reaction what are we trying to do as entertainers? I got that that. I was like, this is this is I got something here with this F word and so and so then it became this thing and I explained to my mom and Dad, I had this whole rebuttal of like it's just language. We made it all up, like it's an American f U c K is an American thing. 00:09:18 Speaker 4: She's like, I know, but. 00:09:19 Speaker 1: Would would would God approve of this? And then blah blah blah, And I was like, probably not. You know, I don't know where I'm going with this other than I was I'm cussing is something that I've always had trouble with in in this, Like I've always just thought they're just words, man. And sometimes and so back to the bird, the bird, that's what that means. So like if I'm going to say that to somebody driving, like man, I want I want to mean it. I want to mean it. I want to really be mad at them. So it's been a long time. 00:09:54 Speaker 3: She was real mad, and I couldn't understand why she was that mad because like, regardless she was gonna catch that Redlin, Like there wasn't no way she could get through it was changing like probably while she was sorry, we're spending a way too much time on this, but anyway, it's good. I don't feel I don't. You should just watch who you're flipping birds too? 00:10:14 Speaker 1: Man? 00:10:14 Speaker 2: Yeah, ye should Yeah, maybe she loved maybe she loved flipping you the bird this one. Maybe she don't want to watch her she flips the bird too well. 00:10:23 Speaker 3: Maybe so I could have been a bad guy with a pistol on my console, no doubt. Instead I'm a good guy with two pistols in my. 00:10:29 Speaker 2: We've uh, we've got We've got a good buddy of ours on the couch. 00:10:33 Speaker 3: Today, Alabama tones. 00:10:35 Speaker 2: Yeah, power, powerhouse vocalist, man, powerhouse human, just all together. Bro, You're you're an inspiration to all of us, and we're glad Drake is joining us. I was thinking last night. I was like, man, do I have a good like Drake story? And then my it propped on my brain and I can't tell the story. I want you to help me, that we're gonna co write the story. But I was like, I think I've almost I know, I've almost seen Drake drown. And do you remember do. 00:11:00 Speaker 1: You remember you were on that canoe? 00:11:01 Speaker 2: We were on the canoe thing. It was like Casey's birthday or something. 00:11:04 Speaker 4: Who's the haircut girl that we all love? She's got a man I love man? 00:11:10 Speaker 2: Sorry, is that the one? 00:11:13 Speaker 3: Is that? 00:11:13 Speaker 2: What? That's the one that she hit her head or something. 00:11:15 Speaker 1: So we're going we had this, we had this great day, right, great, we had this great day. I caught a couple of fish that. 00:11:26 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:11:26 Speaker 1: And we get to the end and there's this little jetty and uh, I mean I grew up kayaking. I love doing that stuff. And so I'm peddling around and we get to this little thing and Amanda drops down in it and flips over that it's out of her canoe and goes, now, that's right. 00:11:43 Speaker 2: And I mean, and we're in what what is that river? 00:11:45 Speaker 3: Up? 00:11:46 Speaker 1: There? 00:11:46 Speaker 3: Was? No, it's creek. It's something creek at some point where you live. Were we Yeah, it was something Jonathan fish is it? 00:11:56 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know the name of it. But where we were, it's not like it's not rapids or anything. But where we were, this current had picked up and this was the takeout spot. So everybody was having to come in here ball right there, and that eddie was kicking and that current was taking us around. So everybody was having trouble getting out of the kayake, and I kind of got slid over onto the grass. So I was sitting there in my kai waiting for everybody to get out, watching and Amanda came around and she got take and she flipped out. 00:12:22 Speaker 1: She flipped out and her kayak, the nose of her kayak hit her between the eyes. 00:12:26 Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I remember this, and you may have been behind us or something. 00:12:30 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to sell it to turn this into the Hebrew story. I got out, that's right, and grabbed her and pulled her out, and when I did, both kayaks hit me and Drake went under. 00:12:40 Speaker 4: I went under for a second. 00:12:42 Speaker 1: But and it was like, because I was so physically fit, I guess I just unless your athlete would. 00:12:47 Speaker 3: Have drowned anything other than a pure specimen. 00:12:51 Speaker 2: Damn would have been gone. 00:12:53 Speaker 3: Would easy? Yeah? 00:12:55 Speaker 2: I couldn't remember that story, but yeah, I remember you lost a couple of fishing poles, because I remember we went back down. 00:13:00 Speaker 3: We did lose some fisher boths. 00:13:03 Speaker 2: I don't even think they were I think they were your buddies. 00:13:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there were all probably, oh. 00:13:09 Speaker 2: Yeah, we need we need to lose long They might have been North Alabama. Where are you from exactly? 00:13:15 Speaker 1: So uh rot with Appalachian mountains come down in the top half of the state. Uh Birmingham is about fifty miles south of Gadsden, and then hoax Bluff is right west of Gaston or east of Gadsden that sets right on the coast river, about four thousand people. Very small town. I still love it. I love that that little town. And so hoax Bluff, Alabama is where I'm technically from. 00:13:39 Speaker 2: That's the first time we met. I don't know if you remember we went. You did that thing for the kids at the library. 00:13:44 Speaker 1: Where Oh thank you for doing that what the kids at the library? 00:13:49 Speaker 3: Oh? 00:13:49 Speaker 2: Absolutely, that was amazing for me. Yeah, Drake, I don't know if you still do it, but Drake, the local library and hoax Bluff like hosted this kid's event where Drake came in and brought I don't know five or six, four or five songwriters and and uh I was asked by I think Big Tom as Sony asked me, and I wrote down with Jason knicks Man and you got paired up with a with a kid and like a couple of kids or the family, and you just went and hung out with them and you wrote a song with them, and you kind of talk to them about it, and then you performed the song in front of everybody on stage and let the kids like they had like blow up guitars and this was so cool, man, it. 00:14:29 Speaker 4: Was so cool. 00:14:31 Speaker 1: It's really stuff like that that fulfills me. And well, I'm sure we'll get into the whole injury thing and what has you know come of all this fulfillment? You know, like what what fulfills me now versus what did? But that that kind of stuff, Like I had one person named Miss McDowell. My mom always told me I was smart and beautiful and all this stuff. You know, like you are beautiful, man, thank you, smart but smart as I'm smart than I look. But Miss McDowell, my science teacher in ninth grade, said, man, you're you're coasting, bro Like I had camouflage on. 00:15:11 Speaker 4: I was hunting every day. 00:15:11 Speaker 1: She's like, you are not like you're you're you're got Ce's and I was coasting. I was cutting grass and just not not doing my work. And she said, you need to be in AP classes. You're you're smarter than what what you're what you're doing, you know. And so she told me that, and uh, that kind of turned into like I was singing one day and she was like, you can sing too, and she was the first person like I knew I could sing. My mom and dad had told me that, but well it was baseball in football, you yes, and hunting and that was it. So it's one person. So back to the library and the kids. My thought there was like if these kids, if I could have figured out at eight or nine the songwriting was a thing and those kids, who knows, we might have planned that seed to have have a kid that is going to turn into you know, the next you know read Isbelle you know whatever. Hope. So so that that that was the end that made me feel good. It was super super is hopefully not, but it was super fulfilling though. 00:16:15 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was funny. Interesting how like even while you're talking, I had a teacher do the same thing and it was her name was miss Harden and she's past now r I P. She's awesome, but she she was one of the few that really went the same thing you're saying. Like she was like, hey, you've really got a knack for this English lit thing, and I would like you should, you should decide that this is you're good at this and be good at it and be great at it. And she was always giving me literature and it ended up giving me like this place to contact to get more books and more. Like I just loved like different poem books, and I would just get She would get me all this literature, literature, and man, I think because she invested in me, I excelled in that subject and it took on become it became my life. You know, words and and rhythm, you know, and rhyme and the whole thing. And and yeah, I'm forever grateful for that. And then I also had a math teacher that I would fight right now because of how discouraging they were. 00:17:20 Speaker 2: Yeah, math teachers. I mean, what's the math teachers did? I don't know, you know, there's not like it's math teacher be like, hey, you're really good at math. 00:17:29 Speaker 3: Math, You're really domb at math for summer school. 00:17:32 Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a part of your Like I graduated at Auburn with building science, which we had to do all these calculuses. Is that calculus is calculus, calculus calculi so we had to do all this math. But I never was really great at math. I think it's this, I think, with our words and are what we're creating, anything's possible and there's no exact you can well what do we say songwriting, there's no rules. Math there is rules and there's an answer and it's an exact And I like that about math, but it scares, it scares the crap out of the person That personality is more like, oh, it just needs to be whatever, you know, it just needs to be. We need to make it what it is and be more well. Math is not that way, building is. Engineering is not that way. It's it's an exact, exact thing. So that scares me sometimes too, because now I live in this world of like, oh man, it is what it is and we can we can make the rules up as we go. 00:18:33 Speaker 2: I think a lot of us had that support. You almost have to have the support. I'm sure there's the story of where there's you know, the songwriter, the artists that moved to town with I'm just going to do this on my own and do it. But Miss Hamilton was that for me in high school and to have a teacher say, hey man, you can do like you're really good at singing. I don't know what you're supposed to do in life, but I think singing is involved in there somewhere. And our parents were the same way. Our parents pushed us, and we're very part of of of chasing what we wanted in life and wanted to get out of life. 00:19:04 Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think we would me or you would probably do it be doing music without miss Hamilton, no doubt, just in the way that she was like, hey, you have a natural thing, and believe it or not, you can you can do this as a occupation. And I mean she was like she started a band, like a cover band thing where we would kind of do shows and parents and people would walked around town and fundraisers and stuff like that, and it taught it was essentially teaching us how to gig a little bit, you know, like I'll call it g rated gigging. You know. She perform and perform and and and uh and she I mean she still comments on our stuff every now and then. New y'all could do it, knew you would do it. So proud of your you know, like and hearing you talk about that, it's like, we should really go back sometime and just make a list of those cornerstone humans that helped elevate you with nothing to gain and essentially propel you into who you be. 00:20:11 Speaker 1: It's teachers. That's why I love middle school, high school, elementary school teachers. They get paid nothing, and it's just a like, I think a teacher should start out as she's crushing it. He's crushing it one hundred thousand dollars base salary. Like, let's make it a competition in our public and private schools. Public privates a little bit better at this, but in our public schools that man, if that teacher is killing it, they're they're getting incentives and bonuses. Because that that was what made the difference for me. One Miss McDowell said, you're half in it, like you need to get in there. 00:20:46 Speaker 3: What did that feel? What does that feel like? At first? Were you like no man? 00:20:51 Speaker 2: Or were you immediately yeah, you got just. 00:20:57 Speaker 1: Told her what's up? 00:20:58 Speaker 3: You know? 00:20:59 Speaker 1: I think my personality is like I've always hit back in practice to my hands bled like I've always been the work ethic guy, you know, like I've always had that. 00:21:09 Speaker 3: Work ethic Sure. 00:21:10 Speaker 1: So I looked at her and it was it wasn't offended. It was just like, oh my gosh, like my dad would my mom and dad would be so if they knew I was just kind of halfway putting something in because they always instilled that in me, like do what you say. 00:21:24 Speaker 4: You're gonna do, and hammer it. 00:21:26 Speaker 1: I mean hammer it every and never. That's kind of the superpower of this. You know, I'm fourteen years into ten year town. Is like, I. 00:21:37 Speaker 4: Never will quit. I'll never quit doing it. 00:21:40 Speaker 1: And that's kind of what has propelled me and miss McDowell instilled that in me, my dad, my mom, of course, my grandparents and. 00:21:48 Speaker 4: All of that. 00:21:49 Speaker 1: But that's kind of what we're getting at those people that we played at, those kids in that library. Maybe we told one kid that he could he could do a songwriter or she could be a song and that's that's worth it all. Yeah, it's worth it all. That's fulfilling to me. 00:22:04 Speaker 5: Yeah, you said you grew up close to the skin some outdoor stuff to the Kusa Cusa River. 00:22:17 Speaker 2: Yes, sir, did you? 00:22:18 Speaker 3: Did you fish there? 00:22:18 Speaker 1: All? 00:22:18 Speaker 2: Fish that girl? 00:22:19 Speaker 1: So we fished, uh, you know, bass, small mouth. Everything was about that In the spring. The spawn that crappie was great. It was a lot of peer fishing. And then I got a sixteen foot kind of the bottom illuminum boat with a twenty five christra on it. I also learned how to ski behind that boat, and this boat was a pile of junk. But there was a freedom, a Huckleberry type, Huckleberry fan type of freedom too, like do my dad, let me pull start that thing and take off on the cusa at twelve? Wowself and here we go. I'm like where the fish at? There was no fish fighters? There was another You had to read those eddies and read those things. And fishing to me since like I am less of a fisherman than I am a hunter. Like my grandfather taught me how to track and hunt and instilled that in me, but the fishing was always something that was kind of mysterious to me because you couldn't see them. So there was a faith thing. So he was a preacher, so there was an opportunity for him to say, oh man, this is good. Every time you throw that bait in, have that optimistic attitude that that fish is gonna buy, and treat that rod tip like that fish is gonna buy, or you'll never catch a fish. 00:23:38 Speaker 2: What a lesson at twelve years old, bro. 00:23:41 Speaker 1: I just relate that to songwriting. I related to intros and outros. Asked my band that they roll their eyes because I hammer them on intro intros and outros. Man play that intro again. We're about to go rehearse after this, and it's just so important, Like the rod tips got to be up. You got to act like you're going to catch a fish. They don't matter if you're fishing in an aquarium or if you're at you know, if you're at a blue ribbon trout stream, like do the same. Act like you're gonna win, Act like you're gonna win. That's great, man, it's good. 00:24:10 Speaker 2: There's so many. I mean, as far back as I remember, that's my my first memories of being on the water where you know, as young as I can get, and and my dad out there just we just talked, you know, and I bring so many of those life lessons from not and I don't even not even if I don't even know them, like they're they're in me, They're in my brain. I've heard the stories. I've heard those lessons from my dad and still living by a lot of those things that that fishing was was the you know, kind of the avenue that he got to to teach me those things through. 00:24:42 Speaker 1: Yeah, fishing was definitely that, and and just the freedom of you know, at twelve it's like, I'm not going to carry to baseball anymore roder motorcycle to baseball. Like that freedom of that helped me have that kind of Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark type of exploration atitude of like, man, I can I can go do anything? 00:25:02 Speaker 3: Adventure? Yeah, yeah. 00:25:04 Speaker 1: And the fish, the fishing, the way it feels when when you set up a hook or anything, like, I love that, and I'm very passionate about fishing. But when when I started riding that boat and you know, got leafs and started camouflage in that boat, you know, and now we get to hunt these places, prairie wings and these Coca cola woods and honey brakes and all this stuff like and I laugh at me and Riley talk about this. So I'm like, I've climbed through, you know, five acres of crap to kill one wood duck, to kill nothing, but try to chase one wood duck. And so the first time I was in, you know, some of the first times I was in prairie wings and stuff like that, I was smashing wood ducks and they're. 00:25:45 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, we'll try to shoot me. 00:25:47 Speaker 1: Malloy, I stop killing it. And it's a mentality in one hundred and ten inch deer on public land with a boat, like trying to figure out I can remember that first deer and that that I was hooked. 00:26:01 Speaker 3: Come on, I want to hear that story. I want to hear the story of the first year. 00:26:04 Speaker 1: The first year is in eastm Hills, Georgia, where there's a lot of there's a ton of history of outlaws and and weed big weed fields and stuff, and it's there's a lot of poss weed with wheat like marijuana like the Snoop Dogg. So we're out there and my uncle Ron, who's a Vietnam veteran, uh puts me. 00:26:25 Speaker 3: Out of love this story already. 00:26:27 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's got a blue Honda four by four that like Honda. 00:26:31 Speaker 4: And he I was. 00:26:34 Speaker 1: I was like eleven, yeah, eleven or twelve. I was able to sit in a tree stand by myself. And let me tell you, like a tree stand was was a two by four now between the va of a tree, and there may have been some railroad spikes and bobs, and there was there was frost on the end of the railroad, so you really had to like she used to climb, then your feet would freeze yeah. 00:26:58 Speaker 2: That's say. Our dad would tell us to be like, hey, go sit in this one. Climb up there, but don't get on the left side of it, because if you get it's going to it's gonna yeah, it's gonna fall out of the tree. 00:27:07 Speaker 1: Like I think a book could be written on the directions to the stand. It would be like, all right, Drake, it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be dark. Twelve year old boy, twelve years old. I want you to go. I want you to walk thirty two steps, and there's a down tree. If there was, it's a cedar tree. 00:27:24 Speaker 3: I got up this year. I'm not sure if you are still there, you'll know what. 00:27:29 Speaker 1: You'll take a left, all right, and then you're gonna think you've went too far. But then right when you don't think you're far enough, keep going. All right. 00:27:38 Speaker 4: Then you're gonna climb. 00:27:39 Speaker 1: This tree, jump this creek, and jump over this thing, and then watch this little There's there's some barber wire right there that I've tripped over like seven times. I haven't been up there in a while, but I think that barbars might still be there. Don't that light? 00:27:52 Speaker 3: Did you bring a light? You don't have a lot. Okay, well you'll be all right. Just let's or let the the star should be right there. 00:27:59 Speaker 1: And actually finding these places. I remember like the praying. The praying and the faith was so strength and so much because I would be praying on the way to the stated. 00:28:09 Speaker 2: Lord, I have no idea where I'm going. Be my hands and feet. Yes, bro, I've had that same prayer. 00:28:17 Speaker 1: Yeah, and being a legitimate because you want to you want to come back and and make. 00:28:22 Speaker 4: Them proud, make them men proud. 00:28:24 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it's such a core memory you just unlocked. I'm just laughing, man, I'm thinking about read and I took a I don't know if you remember this. We were tiny, man, I mean seriously, nine or ten. I was probably nine and ten, you were six five whatever. You remember. We used to go to the river bottoms. We used take that three wheeling and go through in yons, or we would go and go down to the road. 00:28:44 Speaker 2: It's like the very earliest of my memories. But yes, so. 00:28:47 Speaker 3: One time we were doing that and we had a we had that we had a big red I think it was a two hundred three wheeler. 00:28:53 Speaker 2: We got back in there and uh, flipping that thing in a heartbeach. 00:28:59 Speaker 3: We did Gracie. 00:29:00 Speaker 2: It's like a snow dude, if you had Gracie, I think it's gracy. 00:29:03 Speaker 3: We flipped it. 00:29:04 Speaker 1: That matters, y'all. 00:29:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. We flipped it and we couldn't get it to flip back over, and the gas was pouring out of the top of the gas thing, you know, because it was I mean, they would flip perfectly three wheels over and they were heavy, dude. So I think Reeve was starting to, like I was trying to play tough so that he didn't get scared because he was little man. We six seven years old, you know. This is on the back of the three wheel with me, and I was like, oh man, we're we were, indeed, we're and at that time this is just y'all too just to us realistically, quarter of a mile from the house. My brain's two hundred and fifty miles. 00:29:38 Speaker 1: I mean, like we were in Alaska. 00:29:41 Speaker 3: Yeah, We're gonna spend the night out there, the whole thing. So I'm like, man, what are what are we going to do? What are we going to do? I was like, hey, man, let's just pray, and was like, okay, because that's all I knew to do. We flip it up. We get it flipped over, and I remember something. I don't know how we flipped over. We flipped it over, and then it won't start because all the gas is poured out of the thing. And I'm like, oh, man, how do I do this song? I'm just gonna look at the engine and try to figure out. Well, sure enough, there was a little switch. It was like a reserve switch or something, or maybe just open the car, or maybe Jesus miraculously just put some I don't know. Somehow we got it cranked and as we were. 00:30:22 Speaker 2: Moving always Jesus. 00:30:23 Speaker 3: As we were moving it, I was like, I just started singing amazing Grace. I was just because I was like, man, I'm just gonna start singing amazing Grace, and Jesus is gonna get the way back to the and I was like, I don't know if this is dumb or not. I heard right behind me going, man, he was singing. 00:30:45 Speaker 1: We sang all the way back to the house. 00:30:47 Speaker 3: It got there and got there. Man. But that I mean, I always people talk here, people talk about pressure, and I always think about like either a being way off in the woods when you're four the three want crank as a kid. That's it raining, terrifying, trying to find a deer stand or trying to back the boat trailer down when your dad's in the water in the boat, other people are waiting out a state. 00:31:16 Speaker 1: That there is no Yeah, that's like singing the National the Master after Chris Stapleton, like you know what I mean? Like if your dad's back there and he's looking at you, he's going, hey, are you not watching me? 00:31:30 Speaker 3: Straight back? 00:31:31 Speaker 1: Son, straight back? And he's a deacon and he's freaking flipping me the ba. He's like, stop, son, stop, what are you thinking about what you're doing? Do you see the wheels? I'm I can't even see. 00:31:44 Speaker 2: I'm the steering. 00:31:45 Speaker 1: You're gonna kill me. I'll get your sister to do it. What about that? 00:31:48 Speaker 4: You're like, goodness, please do if you can do better than please do? 00:31:52 Speaker 3: I want that back in the boat down? Is no joke? All right? 00:31:56 Speaker 2: Sorry, Dan interrupted your story. 00:31:59 Speaker 3: I thought you're doing. 00:32:00 Speaker 2: And we were talking about his first year, so. 00:32:03 Speaker 1: Eas Hills, Georgia, and there's stories out there of outlaws and there. It's still that type of place. It's been cleaned up a little bit, but I mean, it's it's just a really isolated, you know, massive land. 00:32:16 Speaker 2: Where you prefaced with that before going in there, so you were thinking like, okay, it's kind of outlaws. 00:32:22 Speaker 4: Like yeah, well, I mean we hunted there. 00:32:23 Speaker 1: My uncle would drop me off and be like, hey, don't don't talk to anybody, like there's somebody hell here talking about. So it starts like snowing, and I'm sitting on literally on one of the yeah you know, two by four, two by fours, and I'm sitting there and it's eight, like eight o'clock and I've got basically the same once I got on now and I'm looking at my watch and it's like seven point thirty and it is so cold and I'm freezing. I've got like, you know, all my clothes are too big, but I had I had a two seventy. I know that's a bit gun at twelve. I get it, but I had one. It was awesome. And didn't ever see deer. That's another thing. We never saw deer. Yeah, we never saw deer ever. And I look up and I'm like saying, in this little I still got this little rickety. 00:33:19 Speaker 4: Spike comes walking. 00:33:20 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh dude, and i put it on my knee and he comes by at like fifty yards and I smoke him and it's just and my uncle. I can hear him riding this blue full with her around and he was notorious for it. He could set till about seven thirty five and he had to ride and drive. Little man driver. I'm gonna push him to you. That type is ready, yep. And so he rides around and I'm like, I'm fired up. This deer runs thirty yards and falls over dead. So I get down. I get down and go find the deer and he's riding. I mean an hour, two hours go by, and so I was like, well, I've got to gut this deer. I gotta. I gotta figure out how you know, I gotta. I've been shown how I got it. Yeah, you know. So I start like messing with it, trying to gut it. Well, he finally pulls up and uh, it's not him, it's another guy. He's like, see you got your deer like I got. 00:34:27 Speaker 4: I'm like busy. 00:34:28 Speaker 1: So the guy pulls up. I I kind of look, but he's ed's up on me where it's very riggie and helly, no telling who he is I'm twelve. Anyway, that was scary. Eventually, my my uncle comes up and my dad leaves. He's he's hunting across the hall. But my uncle comes up, We get the deer. It's a big anatomy lesson because he's uh, he's in the medical field, and so it's like you shot right. 00:34:54 Speaker 4: Through his lungs and heart. 00:34:56 Speaker 1: Here's his heart, take a bite out of his heart, you know, here's blood, here's the thing, here's the prayer, here's that and like it literally is is a thing where it's celebrated. And I did it with my buddy Chris Hennessy's uh son too, Like it's a celebrated thing, like congratulation. All the men called you and we're like, hey, what did it feel like when it was in the in the scope? 00:35:20 Speaker 3: What? 00:35:21 Speaker 4: What do you what do you feel like? Now? What did you clean it? 00:35:24 Speaker 3: Did you eat it? Like? 00:35:26 Speaker 4: Have you have you had? 00:35:27 Speaker 1: Did you cook it? What did you And there was two or three conversations of what you had to do and it's just like you kind of hold your shoulders back and go all right, I can get a job now. I mean you're a man, you know you. 00:35:42 Speaker 3: Know what did your did your dad gut him for you and show you because you know it was. It's so with my dad. It was like, I'll do you first, woman, then you do all the rest of them. 00:35:51 Speaker 1: I got another story with that, but that was the first dear. 00:35:54 Speaker 2: Let's hear that other story about you. 00:35:57 Speaker 1: The whole the work ethic thing comes in and I'm like, I wanted to make my grandfather proud. He's like Drake and he chewed red man tobacco beach night, sorry not red Man. And he'd sit there and he'd be like, Drake, I butchered like that the first deer, you know, you kind of butchered up, but they I butchered the second one, the third Drake. I've never seen a man skin a deer better. I've never seen a man got a deer. I mean, you're just amazing. And I'd look at my cousins and be like, yeah, better than all y'all. 00:36:33 Speaker 4: I think I've told you him. I am. You know. 00:36:36 Speaker 1: It was like Jeremiah Johnson, can you skin GRIBs? I can skin anything that don't skin me first, Like, I can do it. I will feed you. I'm a provider. I am a man back up, so I clean everything at the deer camp for. 00:36:50 Speaker 2: Two like two years, everybody's deer. 00:36:52 Speaker 3: Yep. 00:36:53 Speaker 1: When my cousin turns seventeen and starts smoking Marlboro Reds and thinks he's a man, and he goes, you're an idiot. I think he was drinking at the time too, and he was like, you're an idiot. You know you're you're skinning everybody's deer and gutting everybody's there. You're not realize that he's playing you. And I was like, my grandpa, he would never do that. And uh, he walks up, he goes what's going on here? And I literally watched him look at Shane and go, well, congratulations, now you get to gut and skin everything because you you got our gut skinner. 00:37:27 Speaker 4: You run. He believed in Santa Claus. Now he does. 00:37:31 Speaker 1: Congratulations. He believed he was the best. Now he's just now he's gonna start smoking like you. So thanks Shane. But that I still my cousins run the UH deer processing deal out in holst Puff, which is a hangout. It turns into all that's all it's it is really cool. UH shout out to gain in deer processing in the Dukes buff Alabama and those guys Chase and Andrew. It's just to hang out, but that the culture of that and being around deer coming in and actually cutting them up and understanding the parts of it and what makes good, you know, the food aspect of it. And Alex Alex being a chef is another thing. But like that, that's a whole, a whole nother thing about providing and fulfilling that that urge to want to provide. 00:38:25 Speaker 2: What's the best recipe that Alex makes with venison? What's your favorite thing that she does with it? 00:38:31 Speaker 4: You know, she doesn't actually cook it. 00:38:33 Speaker 1: She doesn't eat very much dear meat like chilis and spaghettis and stuff like that. She just doesn't. She's looked at me a hundred times. And believe me, we've had we've had pretty much like knockdown dragouts, like arm wrestles over this, because I do like to kill, you know, four or five a year. But I'll leave that, you know, to you, you know, to cook and to do those to do that because like I don't, she doesn't enjoy the taste of it. And man, I've cooked it where it's amazing, I know it. I mean it's tasted, wife, but there's something in it for her, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna spend any more time like like I've tried, man, I've tried passionately. But for me, Man, I love like kind of a brown gravy, just real slow rice like backstrap, like cook really slow and rice and brown gravy like that. 00:39:29 Speaker 3: I do too. That That sounds so good right now, man, Yeah, I eat it right now. 00:39:43 Speaker 2: Let's get into your music. When like, did you did you have a band? You said in ninth grade they were telling you know, she was your teacher was like you can do this. 00:39:51 Speaker 1: No, No, I didn't, So that's great. Uh the first time that I ever really sang and I didn't sing at all. It was basically like there was a band called Geppetto. 00:40:02 Speaker 3: It was. 00:40:04 Speaker 1: Love that banda my sister's age, and they were good. They were really good. 00:40:10 Speaker 2: And uh the local band like high school band. 00:40:12 Speaker 1: They were in our high school Adamstus, you know, and those guys they then and they went all the talent shows and they were and they were good. There were kids and they just played a lot of pearl jam. Pearl jam is still my favorite rock band and they were great. And one night I was in like tenth grade and Adam was having trouble singing. She talks to angels, and I was like, oh, I've got this, and I just started singing it and everybody and I had my eyes closed because I think I'd had I think i'd had a natural light or something, and uh, I have yeah, So I lean I leaned back in tearing to she talks to angels, and I opened my eyes and there was some girls two and three years older than me, my sister's My sister's two and a half years older. 00:41:07 Speaker 3: Than I am. 00:41:08 Speaker 1: And we had a Jack and Joel bathroom, and so it's very conducive to know how to play the guitar, and maybe they would walk across that Jack and Joie. That's a cool song though. That was cool, But she talks to angels happens and I'm like, oh, shucks, whatever, thanks guys, thanks. And I ended up, like, I think, getting to kiss one of the girls there, and so that that was in my head and looked. But the first time I was a senior in high school and the beauty pageant was going on, like literally, this is the first time I ever seen public really and uh, Tyler Elliott was playing in the ag department. I was, I was ffa all the way like I could, I could well man turn a torque grint like I was. I loved the whole ag world. And our agg teacher played in a little bluegrass man. So Tyler's playing and I hear him go it strings in your ride and cut the dem line afore to stop me and it's deal my breath. And I was like, oh, I love this song, and uh, you know I be your and I was like, oh dude, and he cracks and he was singing it too high, and I just walked in the ag department and started singing it. And Tyler was like, dude, you have to They've requested this at the beauty paget. 00:42:33 Speaker 4: You have to sing this. 00:42:34 Speaker 1: And I'm like, no way, no way, no how. When my mom had a beauty shop in her garage, and so I grew up like, hey, entertained the ladies in the shampoo line, so I don't get in trouble and they leave or something. So I would sing like Garth Brooks ain't going down to the sun comes up age. 00:42:52 Speaker 3: These are exactly the song. 00:42:56 Speaker 4: I don't look forty, but I'm forty. Yeah. 00:42:58 Speaker 2: So you were literally were literally singing to like acapella to these women, yeah, at your moms, yeah, and. 00:43:04 Speaker 1: Singing for my aunts and you know all that they're like, I would reenact the box set of Garth Brooks in the Diner eight n. I could still do every every bit of it and it got to be like funny and uh so I'll be that night. You know. My mom is a she's a cosmetologist man. She can talk circles around it. She gets her seventeen thousand words in before lunch. It is blind hair and hold on Alabama Slammer, lets go like college. She can rock it. 00:43:35 Speaker 3: We have her on. 00:43:37 Speaker 1: You wouldn't you wouldn't have any trouble anyway. I don't want to. I don't want to overplay it. She Tyler says, you got to play this, you gotta sing this. So I put my new pair of car Hearts on that night, and I think I washed them and I think I pressed them. I had like a car Hearts with some new. 00:43:57 Speaker 2: Boots, ready to do Garth Brooks like it ain't done. 00:44:02 Speaker 1: I had these, Uh, I had these frosted tips. My mom was a hairdresser. 00:44:07 Speaker 4: So it was cool. 00:44:09 Speaker 2: You and Dan are the same humvents. It's not his was in college yet. 00:44:12 Speaker 3: Frost and tip them with the white but the white shells get this story. 00:44:16 Speaker 2: The black turtleback. I got a picture of pretty. 00:44:19 Speaker 1: I knew the frosted tips would just turn the whole thing, because it is a thing. But my sister was two and a half years older, and the frosted tips were in. So anyway, I had fresh frosted tips, and dude, it was I was sharp. I was looking shark. 00:44:34 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:44:36 Speaker 1: Well, I walk out there and I'm like, I got this is easy, and we rehearse it two or three times. But I walk out there and my mom and my aunts had caught word. Did you know Drake is singing? Not at the beauty pageant? And they're all like walking in and dude, the nerves hit me, the buck fever hit me. I was like, what have I done? I got got real, real, got real real quick. And Tyler starts smiling and I'm like, I can't do this. He's like, you have to be. 00:45:07 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:45:08 Speaker 1: I stick my hands so far in my pockets and I'm like, and I kick into that son of a gun. I lean back. I closed my eyes and I sing it as hard as I could sing it, and everybody was like, and I'm not saying it was great, I'm sure, but it was like, holy crap that And I remember the feeling I got standing ovation Beauty pageant, like you know, Lindsay wagoning, Heather Thomas shout out to y'all two like, holy crap. And that was the moment. It was like, man, this is this is easy. I've been back, hitting back in practice. There's that thing again, my hands blood. This is easy. Well, kid, like, that is what I want to show kids with the songwriting, Like if you can find that thing that that's easy and then hit back and practice to your hands bleed, then you got it, you'd be great at So I'm a senior. So that's the first time I really love it. So I didn't really do anything except for baseball and football. Got a little opportunity to play Juco. Baseball, didn't do that. I had a landscaping business that I loved, cut grass and just in high school, oh, in high school, probably making bank skat dude. It was it was man. My dad worked for me. I mean it was freaking two grand a week, like we were we were going get up daddy. No he was. He's still my cousin still runs it. And and so we had it going on. We had trucks and we had things. And so the baseball thing fizzled out, and I'm fast forwarding through a lot of music. I went to a lot of music. I went to a lot of concerts, a ton of concerts, and and I was just like, what is this thing? What is this singing thing? Natural singing? Like the songwriting was stashed away in poems that I was afraid to let anybody. 00:46:58 Speaker 3: Read, literally say I've even said that, like yeah, because we're there was like a stigma around it. If you're playing baseball and football and hunting, you were a tough guy. You couldn't you couldn't let everybody know that you're poems. No, it'd be tough, right, you gotta be tough. 00:47:13 Speaker 1: And so I go through high school and don't even really form a band, don't even do anything like that. And in college, my buddy Adam Barb is in uh landscape architecture and I'm in building science, and it is like a you have to concentrate on it. But he's like, dude, I have no money. I am so broke, and I I was. I've always said in my head, even if I was broke, I would never admit I was broke. Ever, and I would. I would figure out a way. And he's like, let's go buy some guitars. What he meant by that. 00:47:44 Speaker 2: Is you you got the landscape, you think you go buy guitar. 00:47:48 Speaker 1: We bought two Martin's a D eighteen, and I mean I was like, if we're gonna buy, might as well buy good eight nine guitars. And then we get there and we start, you know, we start talking about this pa on the stick and he's like, you know, if we had that, we could play these little gigs for two hundred and three hundred bucks. We buy the pie on the JB. I still got it. It's awesome. I love it's two fifteen's on sticks. And I had this little gig rack deal. 00:48:15 Speaker 2: That the ultimate first gig. 00:48:19 Speaker 1: Well he was seether and uh pantero like he was a big heavy guy. And I was like, all right, man, I do twenty Alabama songs, Leonard Skinner songs, all this stuff, and I'm like, all right, this is this is the And I didn't know how to play really the guitar. I just had a KPO and U, G, C and D, which is I knew how to play the guitar. I could basically play all the songs. He makes a four inch bonder of all these tabs you know how you printed them all though, And he had a music stand up there and we he goes, I got us a gig. That gig is in the cult of Sack. If I named the name the the not not Gentilly, it might have been Gentilly. 00:49:02 Speaker 4: It is Gentilly there anymore. 00:49:03 Speaker 1: I've got an auburn folk here. So anyway, we're in the coult of Sack and we start jamming and kids start coming out like and I'm like, oh, here we go another I'll be you know, another thing is happening, like this is easy. Well here they come out, well twenty five thirty minutes into the set, which I'm glad because we knew on the parking lot the cold sack of. 00:49:26 Speaker 4: You in the middle, in the middle of where you just set it. 00:49:29 Speaker 1: Up, ran a cord to somebody's house. 00:49:31 Speaker 2: Hunt yeah, cord. 00:49:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, just started playing. 00:49:35 Speaker 1: Started playing and it was cool. It was really really pop up concert for sure. That's uh. And I was like, dude, this is this is going to be awesome. We're not getting paid. Well, cops come, the cops get called us the residential and the cop is a female that is that is hot and uh yeah, and I was like whoa. And he's like, I don't know, I'll play out. I don't guitar.

So she's like, guys, y'all sound y'all, sound good, but I've got to shut you down. 00:50:14 Speaker 4: I'm getting noise, ordinances and complaints. 00:50:17 Speaker 1: So she comes up and she goes my friend owns Wings to Go, come on up the road. And Adam's like, we'll take it. And I'm like, wait a minute. I'm the business guy of all this. I'm like, I'm like, all right, cool. We go to Wings to Go and I won't get into the minutia of that, but we play for Craig Wings to Go for three years every Saturday night. It was two hundred dollars every Saturday night. And then we got fraternity sororities and they were like one thousand dollars, five hundred and eight hundred dollars. Play Wednesday night drinking clubs, and I was like, man, with my landscape and money. Dad was working in Gadst and I was at Auburn and I had a percentage. Then wasn't going to class. What are you talking about? So it took me five years to get through that. But that was where I'm like, I'm moving to Nashville and like I'm going to take these poems and I'm going to start messing around with them. And that's that's what did it, you know, man. So that was a long story. So that it's the progression called a sack to the I wish there was another sea whord like called a sack. 00:51:24 Speaker 3: To the concert. 00:51:26 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not good though, I know I'm trying to call a sack to. 00:51:30 Speaker 4: The We'll do it. 00:51:32 Speaker 3: Yeah. 00:51:32 Speaker 2: So fast forward, you get to town, sign a record deal. 00:51:37 Speaker 3: No, Leith, you were that's what you're doing. 00:51:40 Speaker 1: Leith were hanging out every day. 00:51:42 Speaker 3: That's where I saw you, So me and that's about the same time me and Jamie come to town two thousand and nine, twenty ten, and I met you on the back porch at least one night. We were all just over there Charlotte House. Yeah. 00:51:53 Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's this thing being raised by a cosmetologist. That's like, and dude, there's no, there's no. I don't have a complex about that. I don't have a complex. You calmed down, But it's like, make sure make sure you look good, make sure you smell good, make. 00:52:12 Speaker 3: Sure by the way you smell amazing. I think I said that earlier. What is that? What are you wearing? 00:52:20 Speaker 1: A sante uh sante santel central sciential. 00:52:27 Speaker 4: I'm not getting a sponsorship. 00:52:31 Speaker 1: We would never sell anything it smells good. 00:52:35 Speaker 2: Complex complex don't. 00:52:37 Speaker 4: So you have to look good. 00:52:38 Speaker 1: You got it. So there was this there was this thing of like you have to feel good and you have to look good, like about what people thought or cared and music. I started stomping and because I felt that that foot. 00:52:54 Speaker 4: That you know, that left foot, like. 00:52:56 Speaker 1: Just stomping and I would have to nariously tell myself to stop stomping. And I had friends go, bro, you why do you think you got to stop? 00:53:08 Speaker 4: It's like because I look like an idiot. I mean, I'm well. 00:53:12 Speaker 1: Then I saw I saw the Joe Cocker at Woodstock and I saw him convulsion and doing that thing, and I was like, I mean that's how I feel. That's how I feel when I'm up there. I mean so authentically. I just started doing what I wanted to do, and I'm still work in the construct. I move here with a construct, a real job, construction job making about fifty grand a year, six hundred and forty seven dollars a week, which sucked because cutting grass. 00:53:41 Speaker 3: And you know, I was that much time. 00:53:44 Speaker 4: I was spoiled, So no, you didn't have time. 00:53:47 Speaker 1: I was over Brentwood Baptist, the eighteen million dollar addition to Brentwood Baptists over there, pouring concrete and five thirty concrete pours were not conducive to a loadouts. 00:54:00 Speaker 4: But when I moved to Nashville. 00:54:03 Speaker 1: Everybody went to Losers, and Losers was just Irv's and Steve's drinking place. 00:54:08 Speaker 4: You know, it wasn't what it is now. 00:54:10 Speaker 1: So I met John Party there and I'm skipping over a bunch of stuff. But we start playing ten to two on Monday nights for IRV and six or seven of his friends and whoever else was at Losers, and so we play four years. You know, two years turn to four and I opened this thing called Alabama Line across from Losers at the Blue Bar. Well, we started playing every Tuesday night. In very long story longer and shorter. At the same time, Jeremy Stover walks in with Jamie Poulland, and Jamie Paullin and Jeremy were the only reason they were there is because Jamie Paulin and Jeremy walk in because Jamie Poulland's wife's brother is Trent Thomlinson, and Trent used to hang out at at Blue Bar. So She's like, the only way I'm going for one more beer is if we go to Blue Bar. And this story is being told to me later by Jamie and Jeremy Stover about like we're like, okay, well let's go to Blue Bar. They walk in Blue Bar and I'm playing for you know, thirty people, and I play Me and Leith's song fifty years too late. I start that song fifty years too late, and Jeremy's like after it, he's like, I buy you a beer. I'm like, you can buy me three? Yeah, heck yeah. And I'm kind of cocky because in that conversation because Jamie had just won in color that was that year, and I thought, man, he's from Alabama. This is my Like I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do that like I'm not doing And this is two thousand and eleven twelve, you know. 00:55:48 Speaker 4: In there, I come in. 00:55:50 Speaker 1: And the construction like I'm fast forwarded to over a bunch of stuff. 00:55:53 Speaker 4: But the construction. 00:55:54 Speaker 1: I had gotten fired from a construction job, which I hate even saying to the day, but it was because I was not passionate about that in the two thousand and eight had happened. And anyway, I got a severance package from that job and took that twenty seven hundred dollars severance package and I flew to where Lord of the Rings was filmed because I always wanted to do it. And that's the news, that's what you did. And I ended up staying in New Zealand for like three months. Okay, okay, this is. 00:56:26 Speaker 3: A lot about you, but I did not know that. 00:56:28 Speaker 1: So I hitchhiked around the whole South Island of New Zealand and worked with this avocado orchard, with this Christian organization, with these kids about how to do stuff like change the tire, build of fire, all this stuff. And I know I backed up, but like I'm backing up to the New Zealand thing, was a huge thing for me because I had this format thing of man, Jamie just did this, like I'm out, I'm missing my time. And when I got that servance package, like I was praying about what to do with it, and I promised. Everybody was like you're what, Like like I didn't take it and go get a guitar. I didn't take it and go invest it. I didn't, which was everything. I took it and said I'm going to unknown land because I saw it when I was twelve years old. 00:57:17 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it just does not meet the normal but timeline. 00:57:22 Speaker 1: There anybody out there that is creative to disappear? 00:57:26 Speaker 4: Dare you to do? 00:57:27 Speaker 1: And I mean, we can't do it now, we're you know, we have responsibilities. But it was time twenty three years old, twenty four go do it. I hitchhiked, I met people, I had a great time. I played in coffee shops. I figured out how to basically do things on my own. Yeah, up there. I disappeared. When I got back Alabama, Line was still here, Erb and Steve were still at Losers. Everybody was still doing They were like, oh where you been? 00:57:56 Speaker 2: Like I was like New Zealand, New zem for three months. 00:58:01 Speaker 1: So I came back recharged, like remotivated to do all that and that because I've been doing it four years with party, you know, with within this at Losers, and nobody had said anything because it was really wasn't that good. It was just like I was stomping around playing she talks to angels still at that level, and I was getting better. I didn't know I was getting better, but I was getting better. And it took I want to say balls, Can I say it took the balls? Whatever you want to go do that, but it really wasn't balls at all. It was. It was really just like, this is what I want to do right now. So anyway, I did that, came back when I got back to Nashville and was playing my gigs, I poured in to that mentality of intros and outros and now I'll get to the Jamie Paul and Jeremy Stover thing. God put his hand on that I couldn't control that, I couldn't control them walking in and then Jeremy introduced me to everybody, to Laura right to Arkwright. I got three publishing offers and four record deal four record offers. Luke Lewis came in smoking a cigarette and I thought he was the coolest thing ever. And I was like, I'm signing with this dude and Brian Wright. I signed the record deal at Universal, and once again Jamie had done his thing. But now it's twenty thirteen. It's what happened in twenty fourteen. Well, our friends you know, Tyler and Brian released a song called Cruise, Well that changed everything sonically on what major labels were getting played on radio. 00:59:38 Speaker 3: Not just changed it, but like flipped molded it, flip big song, flipped it and it wasn't what I was doing. 00:59:45 Speaker 1: And no, no, I love those guys. I love you know. My path is my path. But it flipped everything that twenty fourteen. So the timing of the simple life, the fiddles and the things that were happening in my single you Know it dies at twenty nine. But the purpose of this story was like all of that happened and I controlled none of it, Like it was all gut feelings of it. I should go here, I should move whatever that I'll be thing was, oh, this. 01:00:18 Speaker 3: Is easy, full circle, a pro move this. 01:00:21 Speaker 1: I'll be exactly what I'm supposed to be. Man, I didn't mean to do that that was cheesy, So. 01:00:27 Speaker 4: No, I love I loved it. 01:00:30 Speaker 1: This work ethic. Like I've always thought that I could just literally sharpen the axe and just hack and hack and hack and hack. And when when you got faith you can go God, just open the doors that need to be open and close the ones that need to be closed. And I still bang my head up against the wall sometimes because I watch people what it seems like, fly past me or do that, but like it's exactly where it needs to be. Yep, you know, and the door's open as they're supposed to. 01:01:00 Speaker 3: I feel like the sooner you can learn that you can't control it, that the easier the ride. But let me just say that's a battle I struggle with daily. I want to control everything. I want to put things in motion. I want to I want to work at this. I want to prove myself with this so that it opens this and boy and and ultimately in this town. All you can do is write the song or sing the song, Like depending on what it is that you do. It's like you can just do what you do and if it falls into the rotation of commercialism or what people want to hear it at the time I was, I was in the same boat. I mean I was writing songs that were nowhere near cruise and when cruise popped, Man, it was like I'm in trouble. And I was for ten years, you know, until it kind of rotated back around to where people wanted to hear what I consider like organic y kind of country stuff. You know. But part of that is, like you said, sharpening the axe and learning how to stick around. 01:02:00 Speaker 2: But even when you listen, like if you when you listen to your Spark record or the Optimistic record, I was. I was listening to them coming in this morning. Man. If I didn't know you, I would say, man, are you are you trying to give people an insight on on how you want to live or how you're living? Like listen to those records, Well, listening to those records makes me want to be outside more. It makes me want to slow down my life. 01:02:25 Speaker 1: Man, that's such a great question. 01:02:27 Speaker 3: Uh. 01:02:28 Speaker 4: I think both, man. 01:02:29 Speaker 1: I mean us as writers like I talk, I talk about this a lot. Your your ideal self? What is your ideal self? Like when you think about yourself, what is what do you look like? How do you act? What is the the self that you want to be like I think I write a lot from the spirit of a seven year old like this, just you know, that's just got permission to drive that v bottom boat, you know, through through the KUSA and like that freedom of like you know, songs on Spark like back to Free. 01:03:01 Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. 01:03:02 Speaker 1: It's like, that's that's the barefoot boy that I will always come from with music, and I will always chase life with that tenacity or I hope to. Yeah, now that's because that's my ideal stuff. I want to be fun for hawk. I want to be fun for my wife and be spontaneous and crazy and be the same person that hitchhiked around New Zealand. You know, don't take myself too serious. And you know, the injuries will come, the setbacks will come, the drop record deals will come, all of this stuff will come. But it's all about keeping that twenty five Chrysler in that channel. Hey man, there's a sandbar here. You might hit it, you know, you might go here, but keep your rod chip up and that like you're gonna catch a fish. That's it's it's really really what I've faced all of these tumultuous times when. 01:04:00 Speaker 2: We've known you. We knew you before you had your thing, and then obviously we know you passed it. And bro, you're the same. They're the same human. 01:04:08 Speaker 3: Man. I don't feel like anything's I don't know. 01:04:10 Speaker 2: Either, man. And that is so inspiring because like I've always known that about you, like like without you even telling me. I've seen that like tenacity that like give life. You're all live life to the fullest, go at something one hundred percent with all you've got, and and to to sit here and listen to you on this couch say that that was instilled you at a younger age. Man, you're still doing that. You're you're still doing that. 01:04:34 Speaker 3: I remember when Jonathan called us the night that that happened on stage. He had called all of us and before it hit socials and all that, and it was just like it was shocking because I'm like, man, this is like because it doesn't make sense to me, Like this is one of the strongest like living dudes. I know, how is this happening? And I mean, you know, we prayed prayed for you and and all you kind of take it with grace and take it with like acceptance and not try to fight what had happened. But but but just admittedly saying this is what's happened in my life. I'm still breathing, I'm still kicking at least one leg, you know what I mean, Like I'm still going, dude, and I'm not playing on slowing down anytime soon. And I think that was that was one of the most beautiful inspiring things about the journey, was just seeing you handle it and not make excuses and not go home. 01:05:36 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 01:05:37 Speaker 4: Yeah, well because you. 01:05:39 Speaker 3: Could have, and you would have had a real good excuse too, you know. Yeah. Man, I mean I can't imagine how how how hard that was and getting through it and working through it. Yeah. 01:05:49 Speaker 1: Well, I think it goes back to you know, the directions to the to the stand, you know. 01:05:54 Speaker 4: Not I'm not trying to. 01:05:56 Speaker 1: Be cute with that, Like it's like there's gonna be a hard things. And for me, I'm glad that the perception was that because my my my awesome wife, you know, she she had to help me use the bathroom at times, she had to help me do things, and there was some it was I found out real quick that rock Bottom had a basement and like it was below rock Bottom and I was. I was mad for the first time in my life. I was actually mad at God like because everything was set up and everything was going great. I had been dropped from Big Machine, and but I was going out with Zach Brown and we had Australia lined up and I just had this organic thing that that I still have today. In this town is so so great to support their people. So I don't want this to sound ungrateful, but when something like this happens, it's like we pray for you. But then with a stroke, with a traumatic brain injury, it's a it's a lifelong Like I go to therapy twice a week every week, and the industry keeps going. So you get dropped, your buddies, get signed, your things, get people keep moving, and like I still have the visions of Madison Square Garden, three knights in a row, I still had. I know that those were instilled in me by the man that made the mountains, you know, I know they were instilled in me, and I know it's going to happen, and it's it's not like I want it to happen so bad. I can feel it. I still want to do it, and there's a long time that the phone didn't ring, the rights didn't come, the things, you know, But I prayed to God that I would have an opportunity to write from my couch. This is this is power prayer. And I just had this walker with tennis balls on the bottom of it, you know when I'm and I was kind of I was not ashamed, but back to my mom. The cosmocholgics looked good, smell good, feel good. Well, I lost my swagger. My left side was, you know, I couldn't be who I was. I felt like, But I prayed that I could write from my couch. And Big Tom called me and said, man, nobody's writing. Pandemic, said him, pandemic. So this is right after the I got back on my feet and how to walk again, which Alex taught me how to do. She's like, you gotta go. We ain't have kids yet. You got to get up and walk. You gotta keep going, come on, and she's dragging me. Yeah, that's where that came from. But Big Tom goes, drake, pandemic set in Nobody's writing. A lot of people were having trouble with this and saying no, and that's fine if you do, but would you be willing to write on zoom And I said, Tom, I just prayed two days ago that God would give me the ability to write from my couch, you know, and nobody knew what zoom was. Everybody does now. The very first right was Hurts the healing with Allison Belt's Cruise, the very first right. 01:09:10 Speaker 2: And it's to spirit. 01:09:12 Speaker 1: Just yeah. It was just like, oh, I can do this, I can do this. And so now we went this whole last year, we went and we proved that we were still alive, to the point where we opened one of the songs with the Pearl Jams I'm still you know, and left the crowd singing. It was awesome. So we were like, we're still alive. 01:09:38 Speaker 4: We're still doing this. 01:09:39 Speaker 1: Because there was so many times where Nashville was moving, everybody was rocking, you know. 01:09:43 Speaker 4: I was watching, you know, all my buddies. 01:09:45 Speaker 1: Do their things and and and dude, I was like, hey, I'm still I'm still here. I'm still doing this. Pandemic said, nobody wants to do anything. It's where I'm at Kolbe, where I'm at Riley, all these all these folks and everything's just going. And there's a lot of frustration in those times for me, because I'm like I still have these these visions and these things, but that song, that those songs, and me playing those eighty weeks in the barn every Wednesday night, meeting those people and seeing a live stream come through like up and I would write during the day and then push it all a Wednesday, we play it in front of the four or five thousand people that were watching online. And then the more comments, the more I leaned into the songs. I pushed an independent record out because I'd been dropped, and I scraped up money from t shirt sales offline because. 01:10:39 Speaker 4: That was really great. 01:10:40 Speaker 1: And then I was very unashamedly I was open with my Venmo, my PayPal, like hey, I don't I've been through this injury and paid for all these metical expences, and I'm opening up in those I remember the very first night we got like seven grand. Wow, And I was like, whoa that that that's significant, you know, and so that you multiply. I'm not saying we did seven grand every night. That was like everybody was fresh and happy that that went from three hundred dollars some nights to two thousand to one hundred dollars to fifty bucks, started doing cameos, started just digging, dude back to my let's go landscape. Let's go. I mean, I will prove to you I'm here. I will hit that in practice to my hands bleed. I'll keep my rod chip up. Let's keep going and pushing in to this. We played eighty wednesdays in a row until Wednesdays and. 01:11:39 Speaker 4: It was a lot of work. 01:11:40 Speaker 3: That's a lot of work. 01:11:42 Speaker 1: And we had, you know, a bunch of guests kept came in and you know, Kid Rock came in and uh Kobe Kla and just a bunch of friends. 01:11:51 Speaker 2: You were one of the big things. You were one of the tell the main attractions. 01:11:54 Speaker 1: And I say this openly. This may sound a little pompous, but Eric Church won the Entertainer of the Year that year and I think it was unrightfully. So I'm the only one that played Eric. And I told my managers that. My manager at the time was like, what do you I said, y'all need to make c M A and ACM create an award. This is gonna like, I don't care. At this point, I taught myself to walk again. Create an award that is like a miscongeniality award, like an optimistic award. This dude, like create it, create it and give it to me, because I need something to keep this crap this train online. Like my wife has just helped me wipe my butt, like I need to, I need to, I need to, I need something. I need something from this and God would just give me just enough to be like if you'll keep going. 01:12:47 Speaker 4: And this is why I'm so excited, because. 01:12:52 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to call you know, my contacts, you know, Luke, and go, hey man. 01:12:57 Speaker 4: You said you wanted to write. Yeah, that's right. 01:13:00 Speaker 1: It looks like yeah, let's do it all right, So that's come rally same way. Well that that side's cool. But God bless our good buddy Jonathan Singleton because he said he's you know, Nashville will go if you ever need me, call me. Well I called a lot of people and Jonathan always picked up. And Jonathan's like, well, dude, why don't we just make a record? 01:13:25 Speaker 3: Yep? 01:13:26 Speaker 4: Cool, why don't we make a record. 01:13:29 Speaker 1: So here we go. And Jonathan's obviously had all his success and he's got his uh that little rinky dink studio at his house now and this is barely put together, and he, you know, blanket. So we go down to Mississippi to Dave Duncan's and I'm getting to the point of. 01:13:48 Speaker 2: Like shat out of David Dunking. 01:13:49 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it to the point in Ramsey, Mississippi. 01:13:54 Speaker 2: And we go down there and we make a record this little rinky dingk studio down there beside the house. 01:13:59 Speaker 1: But it's got this got about two million dollars worth rinky dink. 01:14:04 Speaker 3: Yeah. 01:14:04 Speaker 1: So we go down there and we Jonathan shout out to him again because he helped me. He didn't He's not. I'm not helping it. I want to do this like I want to. I mean, he doesn't take projects as he doesn't want to do. But we go down there and we do my favorite music ever, and it's you know, that's what we're about to. Our first single is called ten Pounds a five pound Bag, and you know it's just exactly what you would think Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee thing that now with the wild West, I call it the zach Renaissance. 01:14:41 Speaker 4: I'll quit using that one day. 01:14:42 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's cool yet, but that what that's afforded us the right to do is what we've been doing. Like I've been doing that my whole yeah since I'll know, I've been singing like and so now it's cool again and so that back and practice me mentality of like I don't quit. It's just like it comes back around everything absolute cycles background, and that's where we're at right now. You know, we're about to release this record. I bought my bus last year. We got our numbers are back where they need to be, uh touring. I've got a team. We just had this big meeting day before yesterday, and it finally feels like I'm moving again. Let's go. 01:15:25 Speaker 2: Man Hometown healings on that record, right, That's what I'm talking about it. 01:15:29 Speaker 1: That's why I love that man Lutz is awesome too. 01:15:32 Speaker 2: Jacob Lutz is I'm sure that was poring that thing you trying to say. But here's apart the show for the one the guys. 01:15:49 Speaker 1: I like that, like that all right, I'll tell the guitar. I'll tell the old the old story. It's a deer hunting story. I feel like y'all appreciate it. 01:15:59 Speaker 3: Deer worries. 01:16:01 Speaker 1: I'll keep it short because Riley's involved, and he calls me. 01:16:05 Speaker 4: We don't. 01:16:05 Speaker 1: We don't know each other growing up. Riley's five years younger. 01:16:10 Speaker 4: And he's from I just thought you were life Life on Buddies. 01:16:13 Speaker 1: He's five from five miles from where I'm from. What he's literally three miles actually, it's it's like right over the mountain. And get invited four years ago, right up basically the year after the stroke to go to Honey Break in Louisiana. Drew Keither here for the Turkey Convention, and everybody's here, so I got to go see them. But I go out there and make friends with everybody at Honeybreak and kill this really nice you know, one hundred and forty inch, hundred and forty five inch, one hundred and seventy two nights, one hundred and forty hundred forty you want eight really good deer. And it was the deer that kind of I've got this concept that I'm going to do called the hunts, the healing off of the Yeah. And because i saw a picture of a deer behind my house that I'm sure I've showed y'all seventy two times. It's like one hundred and eighty inch deer, a giant deer, and it it legitimately healed me because I went to my trainer and was like, can you teach me to climb a last Yeah? I got to be able to hunt this and he was like, you can't, you can't walk. 01:17:16 Speaker 2: Yeah, But I got it. 01:17:17 Speaker 1: I got it and set you know, leads on all my stands and Alex was standing at the bottom of this little stand now, you know, with a crossbow. And it literally healed me because I had something to look forward to. So the the one that got away. I go back the second year and there's this deer that they call pitchfork, had big splits on his brow ties, like big split brow ties, like beautiful. I'm talking five year old, one hundred and sixty five. I'm not even kidding hundred. 01:17:52 Speaker 4: I've got it. 01:17:53 Speaker 1: I got it on my phone shape. So he has a three hundred PRC that's like, and that's all. That's an awesome bigara. And and i'd killed that eight pointer with it, and long story about the reason we were using that gun, all right, but I hadn't. I hadn't shot that gun that day. You'll know where I'm going. And I hadn't shot that gun, and he had let somebody borrow it. And this deer we've been hunting for, you know, a couple of days he comes out and I'm just like, and he's like three hundred yards away, and he moves to probably three fifty. He kind of pushes and then gets sideways and presents the shot and I squeezed it off perfect, and it goes and hits the top of his back, like I'm talking just like white for not not scrap just scrapes him runs off devastated. I don't know that, Like, I think I've hit it. I think I've drilled it, because he kicks and bucks and so I'm like, all right, and Drew's like, man, you got it, We'll find it, don't worry about it. Well, that never found it. He shoots the gun like two weeks later, and at one hundred yards it was five inches high and two inches right, and so that deer is one hundred and sixty inch every bit of it deer. And they see it back on camera and he's lost. So if you if you wound a deer on the right side, the trauma of that two hundred grand bullet opposite, he lost the opposite side of his right so he dropped it, and he's like, don't worry about it. We'll come back next year and he'll be what he Well, he came back next year and he's got this massive side and then he's got this weird, messed up side. But I was still like, how cool would it be? Yeah to kill that role st I mean, it's super well. I never did get back over there, and he kind of either he disappeared or somebody somebody killed him. But that's definitely the one that got away. And it takes me back. What's that movie that like, you never trust? What is it an unused weapon or an untrusted weapon? You never hunt with a untrusted weapon?

We're in, and it's like you get to go back and I don't shoot the bigar anymore. 01:21:11 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you kill that deer at eleven years old and he's unbelievable, right, you never know, you never know. 01:21:18 Speaker 1: That's exactly right.
