Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey, it's Mom Picket. Weare on our way to the legendary Broken
Spoke. Come on, let's getout the truck and head inside. Come
on, it's going side, gettingready for another Tale from the Broken Spoke.

(00:24):
Hi, there, it's Mom Picket. You enjoyed our conversation with Terry
McBride. It's been a great conversationso far. Well, here it is
the part you've been waiting for.Part three of her conversation with Terry McBride
on Tails from the Broken Spoke.Yeah, those guys I've always looked up.
I mean, my grandparents meant somuch to me. They helped raise
me, and I have such respectfor older generation that had all this wisdom

(00:48):
because they did and I respected it. You know. That's the only thing
that kind of kept me in check, kept me in line. My parents
split when I was in the eighthgrade and my dad was on the road.
So I had this house next doorto my grandparents, which I basically
had a home all the way throughfreshman year to myself. If you can
imagine, I mean, we we'drehearse the band there, we'd have parties
there. You know, my grandparentsdid call the cops on me one time,

(01:11):
but uh, just to teach mea lesson, and you had it
coming. Yeah, I had itcoming for sure. We're practicing, we're
playing, so it's getting late,we're playing loud, it's getting late,
and all of a sudden, there'sa knock on the drawer. Hey,
hold it, everybody, And Iwent hello, and the other side of
the door with this cop that weknew because we would have him been our
dances to security. He said,it's the heat, he said, And

(01:34):
we knew this guy. He goes, hey, man, he goes,
we got a complaint, I said, a complaint. He goes, like
next door. My grandparents had calledthe cop. Yeah, just to kind
of teach me a less chain littlebit. Yeah, I was ignoring them,
and I wasn't. I was gettinga little you know, full of
myself. You know, we werein this popular band and I could do
I thought whatever I wanted. ThenI had to realize I need to respect

(01:57):
them. My parents, grandparents gotup at four point thirty in the morning,
you know, every day of theirlives. And my dad was my
grandfather was a cowboy. He washe was a rodeo guy. And then
after rodeo, what do you do. He became a bus driver for a
Greyhound. He he would take theselike a minor league baseball players all the
way to New York City and back. And he did that for a lot,

(02:20):
a lot of his life. Andthat's what he was doing. I
went with him. He would catchthe bus in Gatesville, Texas. I
went over there for thirty in themorning. I'm getting up. He'd make
this route like up to Abilene andthey were delivering mail and packages. You
know, that's what the bus did. Sure back in the day, they
were part of the way before therewas a FedEx and all that stuff,
and you know what we have today. It was part and unfortunately because of

(02:40):
that, you'd make forty seven stopsbetween here and Abilene and Amarillo wherever you're
going. It would take for afull day to get up there and back,
you know. But it was interesting. And then he raised horses and
cutting horses all my life. Buthe was just an old cowboy trying to
find his way. But my grandparents, they really they felt so you know,

(03:02):
not guilty, but they just feltbad for me because my parents had
such a bad split and they triedto do everything for me. It's a
great line. Just an old cowboytrying to find his way. But that's
a great time, man. Ibet you can sell that to George.
Well, you don't sell him,you lease them. People always say you

(03:23):
have how do you sell a song? But you don't. You can.
We're gonna partner with you on thisone. Yeah, yeah, that's good
money. Remember that I may notso uh you have mcbriden the ride again?
Is it the original? It's originalcast. They were here about a
month ago. We saw that happen. You never talked to each other,

(03:46):
which is just great. People thoughit's so good. We had so much
fun back in the day. Businessgot in the way and really it was
McBride and the ride, so allof the spotlight was on me and those
guys were part of the band.It made me feel really odd a lot
of the time, you know,because interviews like this, you know,
they might not even want to talkto those guys, and it's like,
you know, we are a band, you know, and but now we're

(04:08):
all grown up, we're all older, and we appreciate what we had and
we still enjoy what we're doing withit. You know. Billy Thomas is
one of my fatally humans but hehas birthday yesterday, turned seventy years old
yesterday. I will bet he isjust a great singer. I'll talk about
great stories. Talented and talented.Here's the story how he even got to

(04:30):
Nashville by way of Rick Milson,Rick Nelson and also the he did so
much more than that Mac Davis aswell when Mack was his superstar. He
did all those He was at theMGM when it caught on fire, but
he was in the band at thattime. But yeah, he's he's just
and he's he's like a rock drummerthat brings that energy at seventy years old.

(04:51):
It's shocking to a country sort offeel, you know. It creates
so much energy in the band.Having a drummer like that, the guy
that can do that high harmony thirdpart as the other guy in your baby
playing runs for events. I thinkwhen I saw with Billy Boce does he
still does that on the side,that's what he does. I know he
was I met him. I thinkI met him. Think he was picking

(05:13):
with Emmy when he was in theHot band. Yeah, he and Steve
Fischel. Yeah, when I methim, and he was just like just
the greatest cat in the world.Still exactly the same. He hasn't changed
in the day I met him,I knew the same person. He just
wanted to you know. All Iwanted was Ritt Nelson stories, and he
had a mess out of Tony Brownhad this idea, you know, he's
he signed me, and then heinvited Kathy and I my wife to UH

(05:36):
New Year's even San Antonio, GeorgeStraight, Patty and Vince Gill. And
he took me in the dressing roomwith that show and said, man,
Terry, here's the deal. Iwant to sign you to the label.
You can be the first act,but I want you to think about something.
I want you to consider something.We need a band for the label.

(05:56):
We have the Desert Roseman and they'redone. They're it's over for them.
And he goes, you're a bandguy, you know. He goes,
you could play bass, you couldsing. We'll build a band around
your songs. And I thought,dang, I don't really want to be
in a band, but I don'twant to continue starving either, you know.
And Tony Brown was my guy.I have all the people I met

(06:16):
in Nashville, he was the oneperson I wanted to work with. So
I thought, this is his suggestion, and this is his lead, maybe
I better follow it. And heknows what he's doing, and he knows
what his track record was, youknow, speaks for himself, and so
I thought, yeah, he hadjust cut that first law I loved record,
and Ray Herndon was in Lyle's bandand played on those albums. So
he was making a list of peoplethat might work out for because that's the

(06:41):
way he does. If he's puttinga dinner party together, he's putting a
list together who would be cool tobe at this party. He's always been
that way because he's a producer,you know, he's in charge of all
of it and making it work andpulling it off. So he knew Billy
from the Hot Band, of course, and Billy was singing harmony on those
Vin Skill records that Tony Brown wasproduce and so he went, I know
this guy would be good. Iknow that guy would be good. Steve

(07:03):
Fischel was the original fourth member,and then we we let Steve be the
co producer and the band just becamethe three of us as far as the
partnership of it. But and that'show it happened. He introduced us.
I met Ray at the Paramount Theaterhere with Lyle, went and hung out
with Ray. We liked each other. I met Billy at the Elliston Place

(07:25):
soda shop. We went down,had our first meeting. We hit it
off, and Billy was so kind. He's like, Terry, these songs
you're writing, man, you know, Tony's played them for me, and
I'm so excited about it. Andso it was just a great feeling,
you know. Then we started rehearsingand went over and rehearsed, and Tony
would just bring these people through allday long, managers, promoters, lawyers,

(07:46):
you know, whatever we might needin the future, and we'd play
the four same four or five songsover for everybody. Then they'd run them
out, run some more people in. We went, we're off, we're
doing something here. Something might happen, you know. I think that first
time I heard y'all live, Ithink it was in Chicago or somewhere in

(08:07):
the Midwest, somewhere in the Midwest, and you know, because I knew
Terry from home. Was it TheCubby Bear maybe or no. No,
it's like a big theater. Ithink y'all were opening for Lyle or something
was an early tit. I rememberwe were, you know, whatever,
like playing a club just a fewwhatever doors down or a mile away or
something, and we came in andjust walked into the theater and no ship.

(08:31):
I thought it was canned music andit was sound check and I'm walking
towards the theater to open the doorbecause we knew Billy, so we're gonna
go next with Billy and Terry fromhome. And we came in. I
was just like, whatever that is. That sounds fantastic, and then somebody
went hold it, it's and Ijust went, oh my gosh, this
is going on right now. That'snot a record, this is this is

(08:54):
just these guys at sound check.And it was so cool and I went,
yeah, they're gonna have some bighits. This was damn and you
know, and it was just thethree of y'all. It was Holly and
the crickets. It was nothing.Yeah, you know, you even consider
doing some of that because it's theharmony is what makes it so big and
fuller, you know. But youknow, two hundred days a year will

(09:15):
turn you into pretty good band ifyou got some talent, and that's what
we were doing. Back then,we had those, We had those songs
that were just heared, those littleBill and Ruth tunes. We were riding
here, Can I count on you? You know, we had no idea,
and then we got together with theband. The song was good,
and then all of a sudden,those harmonies played such a big part of
that, you know, and thesong becomes a record, turned it into
something completely different and so much funhearing it, and even to this day

(09:37):
that that's that's the simplest three chords, so simple that the label thought that
song will never make it. Youknow, they research and test everything they
could, and that song, Ithink came back at the very bottom slow
three chords. You know, that'snever gonna make it. And then Tony
Brown said, ment, I'll tellyou what I signed you because that song.
I think if we don't release it, you know, what do you

(10:00):
think? I said, man,I think if you're into it, lit'ten
do it. And we had thisvideo to the video credit Bill Young.
Did you ever do any videos withhim out of here? You remember,
Yeah, he was a legendary kindof guy. He took us in cut
that video. It was so tender, so sweet that back then country videos
were so popular with you know,Nashville Network. Everybody had their own little

(10:22):
videos show many Man, and thattook off. That video really created such
a buzz. It made radio haveto play it in some some markets,
you know that weren't It just becameso popular. Weay because you were so
we got love here time. Iremember my dad was an ill and it

(10:43):
was ninety two the beginning, butuh, I remember the guys from George
State straight, like Ben MacArthur andthose guys calling me at the hotel going,
man, you got lined up allthe way around the damn club.
I thought, these guys are callingto tail. It's so thrilling. They
we're so proud of you. Andwe got there and it was like,
oh man, it was just oneof those nights you know, where screaming
and the crowd was just incredible.I remember my dad he was just so

(11:07):
impressed. He hadn't seen He couldbarely get on the bus, but he
was so proud and I was justso happy he could be there. But
it was all because he's you know, in case one, O one and
cave that just playing the heck outof those songs. Man. And when
you take that stage and you hitthat simple guitar intro to come account on
you and the crowd he erupts.You know you've done something, you know,

(11:28):
you know you're connecting in a waythat's it's really special. And also
what I always tell people is likewhen you when you have a song this
this number one in one city andthen not played it all the night.
What that means is the song isgood enough to have been number one,
yeah, you know it just sometimesit translates nationwide. And back particularly back
then, you still could have regionalhits, regional hit you know. Yeah,

(11:50):
and you know now I don't Idon't think he can think about the
label we were on back then.I mean, you know, we were
doing okay, but we were alsoand and Tricia and George. It was
a powerhouse label. I remember theybrought us in one time and said,
man, you guys, we gotto step it up. You're only selling
gold. We might lose our dealover a gold record. I was on

(12:15):
a gold record and the and theand the Cat lost. The artist lost
his deal because he was only goinggold. I'm still putting this on my
wall. Just the same multi multipla over there were killing it. You
well, yeah, that that ageof that age of garth where you just
got y. You know, itwas fun to be around. It was

(12:35):
funny. It's a good time togo get It's cool now when you do
a show and you see the audiencecome back and they know every song and
it's it's like a big family gettingback to go. And also that the
audience that loves country music. Theydidn't they didn't, they didn't go away.

(12:56):
They're just being told you don't getto have this music anymore. But
yeah, telling what they're telling showbusiness back is actually, yes we do.
And that's why Straits numbers are biggerthan they've ever been. Oh yeah,
y'all are back together selling out showsbecause your audience is going to excuse
the hell out of me. Yeah, we love this music and we will
listen to this music. And that'sjust how powerful music. I mean.
We've got those we've got those originalfans from thirty years ago. We see

(13:20):
them, hear from them every day. And then we have their children who
maybe as passionate as this mom anddad was because they have these stories they're
willing to share with you about beingin that truck. My dad put that
cassette in and it just is somethingspecial with those kids. Of course they're
thirty mid thirties to forty years oldthemselves. Now again it's all timeless.
Yeah, it is what great musicis. And then we do have these

(13:43):
young kids that are just out theresearching and looking and curious, you know
about that generation, that era ofmusic. But it's fun. I mean,
you know, the bottom line iswe enjoy getting together, or we
wouldn't be doing it, you know. I mean, we're not killing it
out there as far as just financiallyset. You know, one night it's
rock Star and we're back, andthe next time it's like where's the crowd.

(14:05):
You know, it's like it's ahit and miss thing. Still,
it's not guaranteed every night for us. We're still out there kind of finding
our way and reminding people who weused to be. Let's talk about your
new record, because you haven't stoppedat all. What's the new record that
Yeah, Well we've got this Marlborough'sand Avon is the new EP that's out,
and we got a Christmas song thatdrops Friday. Wow, we're shipping

(14:26):
that out called It's really good.It's for here. It's called honky talk
and exmus down in Texas. It'sso much fun. It's we brought Larry
Franklin still filled on it in Gordonmode on piano. It's just very honky
talk, right a swing, verycool, real real tongue in cheek all
the way through the course. Butthe EP was our first and almost twenty

(14:50):
five years, you know, fornew music, and really looked high and
low for a lot of songs.I still have all my cassettes from the
nineties. I went through all thosethose Harlan Howard pitches and costas and everybody
else to send us songs back inthe day through mc A and then we
wrote one with the band. Andthen I found a couple that had written
years ago, and I had thisguy from out in Sweetwater, Texas sent

(15:11):
me this Marlborough's nave on going,hey man, this sounds like a McBride
and the right song. What doyou think a lot of talent out of
Sweetwater, Texas? But I wasknocked out. Usually when people send you
something to say, I think thisis gonna say you hear it? Oh,
It's like, what do I evensay to One of my favorite things
is that man, I got anidea for a number one I scope I've

(15:33):
written that's fantastic now and your inductionis in February. Yeah, February twenty
fourth is the action with the MoodyTheater. Yeah, that's what they have
it. And Ronnie Dunns the host, which is going to do extra special
and he's so excited. He's like, I think I'm more excited than you
are. And I don't know aboutthat. But how do we get tickets?
We got to get tickets? Yeah, how do you go That's a

(15:54):
good question. I guess a ACOLwebsite probably right. Yeah, But you
know that that organization, they reallydo a great job and it's really really
a cool deal. They all cameto Nashville and they did it. It
was It made me feel so good. You know, they're so excited about
it. They had a luncheon withall the previous inductees and from Bob McDill

(16:18):
to you know, Lee Roy wasthere and Hay's Carl just some people I
knew, didn't know, and butit was great. You know, Alan
Shamblin is sitting there and people thatI've known forever and ever. But it's
a pretty cool club to be involved. With and be associated with. And
so I'm thrilled. I don't slowdown now that you're fame. Don't slow

(16:38):
down. Oh I won't have plentyof energy. Still I still like going
and doing and and being and uh, you know, I get to go.
It's it's great for me after allthese years because I get to go
and do these solo shows, thesongwriter shows and talking about you know,
things I can't do with the fullband. We don't take time like that
usually. So like last week wewere MONTGOMERYO the Arena, cool little twenty

(17:03):
five hundred seeds. It was great, and then this weekend a lone star
still doing the nineties shows, packagethings. It's really cool. But the
songwriter, I can really take mytime and and really play more of a
variety of songs with McBride and right, it's just McBride and the right hits
and things that we've done. Butbut I can really talk about Ronnie,
how these songs were created, andnot every song has a story. With

(17:26):
those that do, people seem tofind that interesting and they dig them.
And I think it's so wild thatat those writers deals, the audiences are
extraordinarily well trained. They know they'requiet. They are, they pay attention.
They pay attention, and though they'rethey're there to pay attention. Rooms
that are geared towards that it's thebest. One hundred people might be all
you need to have a fantastic time. I love those really. Some of

(17:49):
the best moments have come from thoseamen smaller shows like that, where they're
just so engaged, you know,thinking of a new career. I think
of a new duo. You've gotDone and McBride, Well, you never
know what the future of my home, you know, That's what I'll tell
Ronnie. I said that Done andMcBride got a ring. You got a
guy from you get a guy fromTaylor, Texas, you get him together.

(18:11):
Of course, you know Ronnie gotkicked out of college. Man,
that's another story. That's but that'syou know, there's there's a future there.
Yeah, I tell you we've jokedabout that in the past because I'd
be on the road with him singingand her voices they blending well, and
we do you know, you're onthere on you on the road. Just
got a little cassette deck back inthe day, you know, and we
start putting these songs down, youknow, and I sing the harmony part,
and then Ronnie's say, man,I like your voice sounds good.

(18:34):
So then I started singing on therecords. You know, that was exciting
and another, you know, littlepart of what I was contributing out there.
I wanted to, you know,earn my keep. And then then
Ronnie called one day and said,hey, man, we're making some changes
in the band. We want youto come and play bass in the band.
I was like, oh no,I mean I wanted to, but

(18:55):
I didn't want to be an employee. Now I'm a friend, I'm a
co writer. Now I'm now I'min the band. It's a different thing.
Put me in there, and nowI've got to be there every day
for sound check. Where before Icould come and go a couple of trips.
I wouldn't even go if I hadfamily. Whatever I wanted to do,
you know, but Ronnie said,hey, man, take the gig.
He goes, You're out here eatingher catering every night anyway, you

(19:17):
know, because you feel guilty everyangle. And he goes, you know,
we're gonna keep writing the songs.You're gonna travel with me. Nothing's
gonna change. And he goes,But the first night if you take the
gig, We're gonna get a littlejit. We're gonna fly to Omaha,
Nebraska, and we're gonna open forthe Rolling Stones. That'll be your first
night. I went, I couldalways quit after that the rolling so I

(19:41):
did, and it was fun.We were off and running after that,
you know, it was it wasreally cool. Nothing really changed much other
than we I got Ronnie off ofthat bus because he liked to just sit.
I said, let's get up.Let's get off this bus. So
we go work out. You know, Ronnie, they can do anything they
want. So they have a van, we go fire. The tour managers
find the best, you know,health club, and they give him some

(20:04):
tickets. They worked out great,you know. But sometimes we show up
late. The band would already besound checking. I'm running in there,
going, oh my gosh. Itmade me feel strange. But yeah,
I'm with the boss. So that'sso only so much I could do out
there. But yeah, and thenthat band was phenomenal and a lot of
those guys are still in the inthe group to this day, had that
gig for twenty something years. Iwrold Steel guitar player Gary Morris is in

(20:26):
the is still out there. Istill wish they'd go back to the studio
and do another album. I reallydo. Yeah, I don't know what's
going to happen there. A lotof people have been asking me about it.
Ronnie hasn't really brought it up,but uh, I know some songwriters
out they're they're like a big comingof the I hear they might be cutting
you know, it'd be nice.Ronnie's been doing a solo record. He's
got a real quick solo records aregreat. He's given the cover the cover

(20:48):
solo record that was amazing. Oneof the greatest vocal performances in the history
of country music. And I donot say that lightly. I'm talking about
you talk Jimmy Rodgers, Ap CarterUp till this Afternoon is Ronnie Dunn's Costs
to Livings High and Gone. Yeah, that is one of the greatest local
perform That guy is singing that songlive, that song. That is not

(21:11):
wrong. That's that's just that guyliving that song. He loved that song
and that that vocal performance is likeI'm salonso my crier. Yeah, it
does have a little mournful It's juststunning. It's just every word is just
the purity of that. I livedwith that song a lot because that's just
me and Ronnie singing on that song. I know it is. I can

(21:33):
really hear my voice on all theof all the songs, that one in
particular, because it's just the twoof us on it. But yeah,
he did have a great performance.He's just strong even live. He doesn't
sound like an old guy yet,you know what I mean, he's seventy.
Whether he wants to admit it ornot, he's seventy years old.
But he really sings good. Hejust sent me he's got a lot of

(21:53):
Texas kind of songs he's been workingon. He's he's all immersed in Texas
now again, you know, buthe's trying to do these more classic traditional
type of songs and he can pullit off. I mean, he's he's
great at anything, I think,and you know, yeah, definitely one
of my one of my favorites.When he talks about you know, his

(22:14):
folks called if they get help,but they're just getting by themselves. Yeah,
good Night Nurse is incredible. Anyway, I knew that was all and
yeah, that was just that's oneof the purest greatest country performance in and
and and history will not remember whatthat did or didn't do on the charts.

(22:34):
Like I tell people all the time, Buddy Holly's ravaon peaked at thirty
seven? Is that what you're goingto remember, or that it was one
of the greatest vocal performances of alltime? Cross the Living Tide by Ronnie
Done is one of the greatest vocalperformances in the history country. I'll let
him know that. He probably knowsit too. Let him know that I'm
thinking about Done. He's probably thrilled. But pass all this, you'll say,

(23:00):
pick it? Wh which which Bob? Was that? All day to
listen to the podcast? Just check. Have you had fun doing it?
Because we've been trying to get youin. I know you can. We
kept saying we all love this hasbeen Kids on tenfold said hit that sweet
spot. Go? What was Ithinking? Somebody asked that, They said,

(23:23):
you gotta go work in the Thisain't work, man. This is
this is. When I pulled uptoday, I have Dominic with moves on
the road with us and does oursocials and to our managers. He's wearing
all kind of hats. But whenI pulled up today, I was been
telling him about the broken spoke,you know, but just seeing it again
after all these years, of course, it looks nothing like the neighborhood we
remember back in the day. Walkinde. The building itself has not changed,

(23:47):
man, from that dance floor tothat little stage where I had some
fantastic moments, man, including playingwith my dad here, you know,
and James really thought a lot ofmy dad back in the day. And
we'd come here, and you know, even when we weren't playing, we
come here, it'd be somebody coolwe want to hear always and that hasn't
changed obviously, that's still happening.Man. You played with a crow,

(24:08):
Yeah, i'd played. We playedsome old George Jones songs I didn't really
know, and I mean he letme know it right away. He's like,
you don't know that song? Igot wit of some one of the
three chords that I didn't you know, I went to the one that I
didn't know at the right time,but you know it by the end it
Yeah, it makes sense to me. I feel it now today. Hey,

(24:33):
I've had that so many times inmy life as the bass player.
That's a big note. Like withBrooks and dun back in the day.
I used to like to have acocktail or two. I don't anymore,
as you know, we've all hadour moments. But I would keep myself
in check because that bass note isyou had fifteen thousand people out there,
you slip up one fred off andthat bass note can turn every hit.

(24:57):
I mean a guitar player you mightget away with it. Fiddle, any
other instrument you can kind of fluband keep moving. The bass note you
got to be on right. Imean, my dad let me know that.
Early on. He would say thingslike the band's dragon Terry right.
But he's just like subtle, youknow, very subtle little hints that you

(25:17):
need to keep it up. Andof course I love my dad and looked
up to him like you know mostguys do, and I did not want
to disappoint. So he really thefear you know of you know, not
doing well, was so strong thatI he made me. That was when
