I'm not giving away any secrets when I tell you

one of the most exciting newspapers.

and we're going to go to his new album, his
first for Columbia Records. And Bobby, there are a lot
of guest appearances by other stars on your album.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I believe, Yeah, Ralph, it seems to be the going
thing right now. It's just everybody what up in the
studio and have a good time. And on this particular
cut that we're going to play is in the order
of their appearances. I sang the first verse, and then
(05:48):
Willie Nelson sings verse, and then Whalon does a verse.
And if you notice, Whaling doesn't quite make the title line.
He gets tangled up everybody's laughing, and then Ray saw
your the uh one of doctor hook Uh. He's the
one with a patch on his eye. He sings a verse.
(06:09):
Shell Silverstein sings a verse, and then I sing the
last verse, and well we all walt up on the bridge.
It's a The song doesn't mean anything. It's just a
lot of fun to do.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Did you plan this or did these people just all
happen to be there?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, it was both. We just did it just kind
of like something that you do. You never really think
about it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Well, I know, but I have known when the people
would be hanging around watching somebody else.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I think I think Shell probably thought about it. You know,
it wouldn't be nice if we just ganged up and
sing this song.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
What I'm asking you is how you got Whaling and
Willy on your record?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Well? This was this was during the period when they
were recording the Whaling and Willie album, so we were
both both right. We were recording at the same time,
so it wasn't it wasn't very difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So they were just up the hall working on something
else then worth it what.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
They were across the street. I was at CBS and
they were at r C.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
A and how about how about doctor huk.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Uh Now, Ray came in later and put his part down.
Ray came in the next day or something.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, what I'm asking you, if Ray Price had showed
up what he been on there too.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
We're to put you on the well we we let
anybody think we might have duct you later.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
All right, Now that's you said. This little tune doesn't
mean anything, but it's uh uh, I assume this is
another composition at Shell Silverstein.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, well, greasy grit and gravy and gizzard greens. And
it's got a whole, a whole bunch of phrases in
there that sound like country phrases, but they don't exist.
Did you ever hear greasy grit gravy, No, it sounds right,
and gizzard greens sounds like it ought to be something
real good. But none of this exists. Bobo beans, no
(08:12):

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Hurts W.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
That's what that tell me? Just what see.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You come j Miss Margo Smith an old song. It
only hurts for a little while. I don't believe anybody
puts more miles on a pickup truck than people are
(14:59):
about in the country. Gas mileage sure is important to us,
So when you're shopping for a new pickup, remember those
tough seventy eight Ford pickups have the best gas mileage ratings, Yes, sir.
In the latest EPA ratings, Ford's gas mileage tops all
other gas powered conventional pickups, and Ford's four point nine
liter three hundred and six happens to be the biggest
(15:20):
displacement six in any pickup, yet it has the best
gas mileage rating twenty eight miles per gallon Highway nineteen
city want a V eight pickup Okay, Fords five Leader
three zero two V eight beats all the other pickup
V eight ratings with twenty six miles per gallon Highway
seventeen city. These are EPA estimates with standard transmission diesels
(15:42):
and car trucks are excluded. Your mileage may vary, of course,
and California V eight ratings are lower. But if you
want a tough pickup, that's tough to beat per gas
economy Fords the name to remember. This must be a
time bobby for making records that drives low lawyers crazy lawyers,
attorneys who represent record companies because where you're living in
(16:05):
an era where it's a plus for the record buyer.
You can go down to the record store and get
all sorts of people are pairing together, but they all
record for different labels. So I assume a lot of
legal work has to has to occur for these albums
to appear.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Well, that's true, Ralph. Now excuse me. Whenever somebody performs
like on my record, I had to get I had
to get sign releases from RCA on behalf of Whaling and.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Chit Chet Atkins on your album.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, Chet came over and that's CBSM picked, So I
had to get releases from RCA. From them, I had
to get a release from Capitol Records for the Doctor Hook,
And is this difficult. What if they said no, well,
you already know you'd have to take them off the
song recorded. Well, I wouldn't take them off if they
(17:03):
said no, I'd go ahead and do it and let
him sue me. I'm sure. I'm sure they know that,
so they go ahead and sign it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I know there's an album in the works, and they
may be done by now. Well, I know it's done
by now. Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt and and uh
Iman Lou Harris did an LP together and they're all
on different record labels.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Right. Well, the way this works, it's to the point
now that usually I have what you call artistic control
over what I do, and Whitalan does over what he does,
and the artist has a lot more control than they
ever did. So usually what the artist wants they get,
(17:46):
you know, within reason.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I don't think that I could go I could go
across the street to some record label and cut an
album and put it out, and I'm sure that CBS
would throw a fit. But anything within reason. Okay, here's
an Holday, I thought we'd play this one. But Rodney millsap.
