Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, welcome to episode one. And I'll say this entire
episode was inspired by the guests we're gonna have later
because I wanted to get Aubrey Sellers on and I
was like, hey, we should get Abrey Sellers on and
talk to her. And then she's done a full Bobby
cast before, and I was like, I don't want we
(00:22):
could build around Aubrey Sellers and um, you know, her
mom is Lean Wolmack, and she's been able to kind
of create her own identity outside of being Lean Wolmack's kid.
As a matter of fact, I think whenever you can
go back and check an old Bobby cast of Aubrey
and I talking even then, I was like, you know,
we'll talk about it. I know this isn't like for me.
I don't think of you as just Lean when next daughter,
(00:43):
But we do talk about that there and we'll talk
to her. She got some great new music out. But
this whole episode was inspired by her, and that's going well.
Talked to Aubrey and then Mike Dy and I go in,
we should do a whole thing about people with the
famous parents and sometimes you forget about them. We got
a whole crew in for the podcast today to talk
about this. First of all, Mike do who produces the show,
which I'll say this, I think this idea was mine,
(01:05):
but Mike deeded the heavy lifting on a lot of
the research. Is that accurate? That is accurate? And I
think that's kind of how we do some of these.
I'm like, oh, you know'll be cool, Mike, what if
we did artists who wore blue jeans on a Tuesday?
Go find every one of them? I got it. And
then he goes and does a lot of the research
and we talked about it. Also bringing in producer Eddie
who's a part of the Sore Losers podcast. You like
(01:26):
sports check that out. And also we'll have an episode
coming up with Brent Michaels, who is the program director
of our station, The Bull and Bakersfield. And also Kay's
Easy so he's actually here too, and so we thought
we'd let you hang out and say stuff too. So, um,
let's talk about musicians with parents who are also famous musicians.
This is a pretty cool topic, Eddie. If I say that,
(01:46):
and I'll go I'll do Aubrey Sellers first. Yeah, okay,
so that's Aubrey. She has the parents Jason Sellers and
Leanne Womack and as a step daughter of the music
produce of Frankloadel did a lot of Miranda stuff. So
she's like, hey, listen, I've had a lot of chances
(02:08):
to and she sounds like her mom. I'm just rock
and rolled up this and is the inspiration to this podcast. Eddie.
I'll come to you first. When I say, because you
don't know who I have on the list here, I
don't when I say artists that have parents that were
also musicians, who do you have right off the bat?
(02:29):
Is one of my favorites. I mean, I'm a huge
Bob Dylan fan, and when I found out that Jacob
Dylan was Bob Dylan's son the wall Flowers, You've got
to have him on your list, right And here is
Jacob Dilan from the wall Flowers. And maybe people didn't
(02:59):
know that. Do you know that, Brent? I did know that,
making sure, making sure you're over there. So we're all
kind of music nerds here, though, I feel like some
people lived their whole life not knowing that the son
of Bob Dylan is Jacob Dylan, the lead singer of
The wall Flowers, And as a solo artist. Um. The
fact that the group takes his name for one of
Bob's songs is only one of the similarities the wall Flowers,
What song is that? What might do? What song is that?
(03:23):
You just copy and paste that line? I mean, that's
a good tidbit there. But I don't know what books.
I've read his books, and I like his hits. His
books are weird because it's almost like, I mean, and
you you you have a couple of books too, so
you understand. But I think when I when I read
the Bob Dylan book, it's like he's scatter brained and
and it's he's all over the place, and I feel
(03:45):
like that's kind of how he is. He's very stream
of consciousness, yes, and funny and funny. Story. When I
met Willie Nelson, I mean we hung out for like
an hour, hour and a half with Willie Nelson, and
it's right around the time that Bob Dylan released his
book Chronicles, and so I asked him, like, you know you, Bob, like,
so what what you read the book? It's like, yeah,
I read that crap. I was like, wait, what do
(04:06):
you think you know? Willy say, it's just a bunch
of bs, you know, like as Bob Dylan man a
bunch of bs, and it's like I love that. And
I think Bob Dylan too has kind of uh evolved
and and growing up and been like, yeah, man, that
is a bunch of bs. Me as a young kid
is a bunch of bs, you know. I like from
The wall Flowers, like sixth Avenue Heartache as a jam
that was like Avenue huh and Adam durt saying background
(04:27):
in that song. I feel like we covered this in
one of our podcast famous background singers and songs. Um okay,
I have two points I want to make one about. First,
I want to do Jacob Diylan and Willie Nelson rolled
Willi Nels because I have a story about him. Um So,
Jacob Dilan whenever he first started, did not want people
to know he's Bob Dylan's son, correct, so he would
just he would do different last names, different names he
would He wanted to be an artist on his own
(04:48):
and did make it, and before The Wallflower is really known,
he wasn't Jacob Dylan and was like, all right, people know,
I'm gonna go ahead be Jacob Delan. That's good. I mean,
I feel for an artist, like, that's a good thing,
that's what you want. You're gonna your dad's a one
of the I would say, the most famous songwriter of
all times. To Bob Dylan's known for is like the
first real uh folk songwriter. Um, I mean, and you
(05:10):
gotta you have to. You have to have a career
and live up to that. It's hard that that would
be tough. Willie Nelson's story because I'm right in the
middle of watching this documentary about the history of country
music and Willie Nelson talks about in it he was
booking I think Bob Wills and the Playboys, the Texas Playboys.
He was fourteen to fifteen years old. He's a concert promoter,
and he was like, you know what we He was like,
os fourteen, I would just tell artists I pay up
(05:32):
center fifty bucks and I'd hope that I got made
enough money at the door to pay him. And he
was talking about when he was fourteen years old booking
shows in Texas as a promoter. I thought that was
pretty crazy. Yeah, speaking of Willie Nelson, Willie's on the list.
So here you go, here's Willie. Watch cry Right, one
(05:53):
of my favorite songs ever and here is his son,
Lucas Nelson. I think for a lot of people, Lucas
kind of pierced that mainstream and the movie Stars Stars.
(06:15):
That was his band, Yes, Yes, that was his band.
And I think he wrote a lot of the songs
in that movie. Did he? Yeah? Is that true? Why?
Why don't you believe me? And I do say? I
think in front of everything I said, you're just saying,
did you see the Stars Born, Brent? I did? Did
you like it? I did? That was really good? Did
you like it because everybody el said it was good?
Or did you like it because you really thought liked it?
(06:37):
I saw it probably a year after everybody saw it,
But it was really good. So Willie Nelson, his son,
Lucas Nelson. He's the lead singer of Lucas Nelson in
the Promise of the Real And I saw him on
the Southwest flight once, Lucas else in his whole band.
You saw him on the flight? Yeah, that miked and
are sent on the plane Luke's Nelson. All the guys
walked by. Really did they smell like? No, they smelled
pretty good. Well, it didn't smell bad. Uh No, I
(07:00):
meant like that. They smell like, that's what I'm saying. Okay.
In October two, Lucas stop at the College. He wrote
music for A Star Is Born and also appeared in
the movie with Bradley's backing band. So there's one Brenna
company you. When you think of artists singers that have
famous parents, who do you have country otherwise matter or
anything you want? Man? Right off the top of my head,
(07:21):
Will Smith Jaden Smith? You know what? Wow, I wouldn't
have thought of that. I didn't think that one either.
Interesting because Jaden what has he done? He's an actor?
I don't know. He's a rapper though, does he have
any songs? Yeah? He has like a legit rap career.
Is he up on the wall? Okay? But we have
Brian Latrelle's kid, but we don't have Jaden Smith, Brian
(07:44):
Latrup Backstreet Boys. This is one of the ones Mike
and I were talking about. We were like, who's who
Brian Latrelle by by the way back? What's his kid?
Bailey Latrelle He's like thirteen, fourteen, sixteen, Okay, he's a singer.
He's to open up for the Batteryway, No idea. He's
a country singer too. Really, who are you drafting? Church? Maybe?
(08:10):
Just maybe? Yeah, that's a Bailey Latrell Backstreet boy. Bailey
Latreuill isn't the only musically inclined when the article says
his sixteen year old son Bailey jumped into action with
Don't Knock It. He made his Broadway debut in the
musical Disaster in Seen, and he's opening up for the
(08:31):
back Street Boys on their DNA World tour. That's cool,
so Jaden Smith works, I would say more so than
Bailey Latrell. I guess I went way off the board. No,
good for you. Um, here's one. Here's an interesting for you.
Interesting one is Miley and Billy Ray. It probably would
have thought about for a minute. Don't just don't you
(08:57):
don't stand And obviously Miley I came in. So her
name is real name? Is what Eddie? Can you name it? Oh?
It's not Miley Samantha. Do you know Miley's real name?
Brett Brandy? Brandy is her sister. Her sister. Yeah, her
(09:18):
name is Destiny Hope Cyrus Destiny Hope. She was born
with Supra Ventrilliker. I don't know. Is that like a puppet? Yeah?
I know, it's a condition with an abnormal resting heart rate.
Oh wow. Her birth name Destiny Hope expressed her parents
belief she would accomplish great things. Her parents nicknamed her Smiley,
which it later shortened to Mile. So that's interesting, man,
(09:41):
that you didn't know which you know her? Her godmother
is Brant Trivia, Miley Cyrus is godmother is Dolly. Look
at you now, now, do you think? Let me ask
you a question here. Do you think Miley has surpassed
Billy Ray? Yes? Okay, because that because this is unique
in that in that sense, Billy has had three careers
(10:05):
at least three, like three generations of who he is? Um,
Belly Ray Cyrus with a can Break Your Heart basically
a one hit wonder. I've had a couple of other
songs in country, but people really just know, like I
would know that song about um, what am I gonna
do when I get home? Do we have in the system?
What am I gonna do when I get home? Or
where am I gonna go when I get home? Belly
(10:25):
Ray Cyrus? Let me know if we have any other
Billy Ray is that off that album that some give all.
I'm not even gonna pick what out do we do
were you play? Would you mind hitting it? I'm pulling
it up right now. Okay if you if we do
have it, let me hear it. But again, if I
say that, you don't even know it right right now,
because and then he came back again for Miley Cyrus
in Hannah, Montana, which she was a part of, but
(10:47):
she was the star. And then he came back in
an old town Road as the second guy. I'm current now,
I would say Miley has far surpassed Billy Ray. I
agree with that. We only got a couple in the system. Okay,
could have been me. Some gave all Okay, make your poison,
not the one pick your poison. No. I just think
it's unique in in this in this list because most
(11:10):
of us just like these kids that have to live
up to their parents or what they did here, it's
like you have a kid that kind of Yeah, she
became what they wanted her to do. She wants they
wanted her to do big things that she did. She's
a superstar. Yeah, Eddie, can you name another one over
to you? Yeah, um, Hank Williams Junior Senior. Yeah, and
I guess you could even go Hank the third you
(11:32):
wanted to. That's kind of and you know what, I
think they may even Hank the fourth is there. I
don't know if there's not. The next one. Yes, here
you go. Here is Hank Williams counted five. Do you
(11:54):
guys remember tearing my beer? Yeah, there's a t and
he had his dad in the song. It was one
of the oh Matt King Cole things when Natalie and
Natty she brought her dead dad back to sing with her.
It was old version. I always like it when they
do that. I did too, And because they both sang
there's a tear in my beer, and you know, there's
the thing to where like they have tear in my
beer and they're from Hank Jr. There's a tear in
(12:16):
my beer, and I'm crying for you, dear, Oh my alone,
I'm crying for you, dear. You are my alone. My dad.
(12:37):
They say, keep drinking, get it about my wheelhouse not singing.
But I just feel like Hank Williams Junior and and
the third or whatever, and I feel like they've all
embraced the fact that their family is all in music.
You know, kind of like the difference between that artist
trying to get away from oh my, my dad was
an artist. I don't want I want my I want
(12:59):
my identity here. They're just like, yeah, man, this is us. Well,
they were also named after them, so they's not like
they could Hank Hanking hand away from that did and
Hank June. You know, Hank one died in his twenties.
I believe alcohol poison about poison, I mean probably cross
something like that. He's something to do with alcohol. He
(13:19):
died super young, Mike, Do we see what what what
deal was with him? Hank william Junior was born in
nine jr. Remember when we talked about Hank wim Jior
fell off a mountain and bust of his face and hit.
That's why he grows a beard. Because I didn't hear
about that. His face was split open from one end
to the other. Accident. They thought he was gonna die.
Hank Jr. Um Hank Williams first step on stage to
(13:40):
saying his father's songs when he was eight years old,
Junior saying senior songs. Mikey, how old was Hank Senior
when he died? He was twenty nine? Crazy? Huhn? And
to hear the Billy Joe Shavers story because Billy Joe
Shaver saw Hank Senior playing like in a bar, and
that's how he got interested in music. He climbed a pole.
He was a kid and saw Hank Senior and was like,
I gotta do this, and so he did it. You
(14:01):
said you saw Lucas Nelson on Southwest. I read an
article about him on Southwest on the Southwest magazine and
that they asked him, you know, like what made him
out of everything that his dad did, like what made
him love music? He said his dad would go and
would take him to shows. But he said he loved
watching what the crowd, how the crowd reacted to one note,
(14:21):
you know, just what the power of music did to
those people. He said, he fell in love automatically. So
it's cool to see the girls. That's like what everyone goes.
And I was wondering if parents want their kids to
be artists. No, for the most part, no, I never
asked a lot of artist that question. It's just a
weird profession. It's there's no success in it. It's a
(14:44):
thousand of one. Even if you have a famous parent
or sibling or uncle, you're always gonna be compared to them.
You know, I would say. Almost all artists that I
know I've told their kids this. You probably I don't
want you to do something else, Like, if you want
to do it, I'm not gonna stop you from doing it,
but I would like you to something it's more stable,
because you know, if they have money, they're gonna put
them to good, nice schools. You don't want them to. Yeah,
(15:06):
most artists that I know have told would not recommend
their kids do it. If they want to do it,
that's fine, but they're not going to push them to
They're not pursuing a um, Brent back over to you.
Can you name another artist that we have that has
a famous man, I don't know that I have another
one off the top of my head. The four or
five are the ones that have a pretty older artists. No,
(15:28):
there's one, there's still Yeah, there's still one really current
country artists, super current. I'll walk you to it. I'll
walk you to it. We had We've had both of
them on the show in the past six months, not together.
They've come in as as guests at different times. You
got this one, Brett, I know you do. I'll give
you another hint. The Dad is opening for the Sun
(15:49):
right now. On tour Red Akins and Thomas FRETTI there
you go, so here you go. Here's Red Akins, Here's
Thomas Rhett. Never get to see the no So Thomas
Rrett was born about Austin, Georgia, grew up in Nashville.
(16:11):
He is the son of Red Aikins and grew up
knowing other singers like Tim Mgrawl, Reeba Brooks and Done
as a kid at t R and I talked about
this in TRS Park. I've done a podcast with both
of them and they're both great. The red one was
big for us. It got a ton so I would
encourage you to check those out after this one. After
learning to play drums later one on stage, I started
playing with his dad. So that's a good one. Let's
(16:34):
do Elvis and Elvis's daughter was She did not do
a lot, not very well. No, I can't be very famous.
But she's the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Pressley.
As well as the sole artor father's estate, she has
(16:54):
developed a career of music business. Is this you? Three albums?
I don't know any of the songs she's done. I'm
trying to see if I know. She's been married and
divorced four times, including Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage. Oh wow,
I forgot about that. Which one? Uh, Nicolas Cage? I
remember the Michael Jackson. That was huge. I think that's
how we all knew who she was. Right in n
twenty birthday, she inherited the estate, which had grown to
(17:16):
over a hundred million dollars. In two thousand four, she
sold of her father's estate. But yeah, I guess I
don't know it really is a musician. I know she's tried,
but that's one of those that even with the name,
I wasn't able to do it. Um, Okay, Brent, I'm
gonna play this one. You tell me first to see
if you can just name the artist Wilson Phillips. Wilson Phillips. Now,
(17:46):
how does this fall into this this episode? Okay, So,
Brian Wilson's daughter, Carney Wilson, right, is in Wilson Phillips.
Good job, Ban Wilson from the Beach Boy. So Carney
(18:06):
Wilson is the daughter of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys,
and she co founded Wilson Phillips their younger sister, who,
by the way, as another Wilson oh, she's also and
China Phillips, so it's too Wilson's and a Phillips and
they weren't their teens. They released two albums and I
did Miss America. I Judgments America with Corney. Wilson was
(18:28):
called other on Instagram super nice, but I could not
sew everyone look at her. I want to do on
purpose stuck in your head. Yeah, I would see you
and I would just think every time and I'd be like, Carney,
I'm so sorry, and she was like, yeah, you should
be just fine. Um, Shooter Jennings wayl and Jennings. You know, shoot,
I think just produced the record from Tanya Tucker. Right,
(18:51):

don't know, I have might be look that up because
go ahead, Mike d I believe Brandy carl sh Shoot
Jennings produced the record for Kny Tucker. Wow, Brandy Carlos.
I don't know. I got a lot of info in
that ahead of years. I'm not even sure of it.
Sometimes when the kind of Marilyn Manson, he was h oh,
(19:16):
look at that very diverse Shooter Jennings born May nine,
seventy nine. I mean, I knew Shooter ready from what
used to do Emmy television. He'd come in a lot,
he'd come in a lot. We'd see him have his
sunglasses on in em television is a regional tell. That's
how Eddie and I met. We were doing TV together
and it was a regional Texas show and we did
(19:36):
a whole Shooter Jenning special, a whole live concert. Yeah,
he did was a concert and we kind of put
it all together and broadcast that. But I don't. I
never I mean, I met him probably five times, but
I never got to know him. He wasn't He didn't
talk very much. So I don't know what he's like.
It's kind of scared of him. He looks like, but
I don't he may not be. Okay, how about which
(19:59):
one the Beatles has his son? That did music? Okay? Um?
From John and Sean. Hey, Jude not so much. Sean.
Julian did more. Really, that's Julian. That's Julian. Wow. He
sounds just like his dad, just like his dad more
than Sean does. Julian Lennon is an English musician a photographer,
(20:22):
son of John Lennon and Cynthia, and Julian was the
direct inspiration for three Beatles songs Ready, Lucy and This
Guy with Diamonds, Hey, Jude, Julian Billiant written by Paul McCartney,
and good Night his parents divorced. The nineteen sixty eight
Julian Lennon inspired one of his father's most famous songs,
(20:43):
Lucy and This Guy with Diamonds, whose lyrics described a
picture of a boy, that picture that he had drawn
a watercolor painting of his friend Lucy. O'Donnell, it's Lucy
and this Guy with Diamonds is a picture that his
son had painted with finger paints of a girl named Lucy. Yeah,
but I love how the media to that one, and
when it like it is l S D. Right, how
(21:04):
about this one? Do you know who this is? Brent Good,
Mike d good job on this. Eddie and I went
as Halloween, we did, and I did that. There's a
white guy in this song, and there's a Mexicanish singing
(21:27):
right now? You know that is no? I think I'm stumped.
That's Julio Iglesias. Okay, I was Willie Nelson. Eddie was
Julio Iglesis and his son is come on, Brent Enrique. Yeah,
he's a good one. I told Mike earlier. I was like,
that's a good one. Uh. Iglesia is born in Madrid, Spain. Ah,
(21:49):
he's not Mexican. My bad, that's why the Spanish, I thought. Dude.
But let's see like us some Mexicans. I'm Mexican American
and we're growing up like anyone. That spokes manashed like, yeah,
there's are people with Mexicans Blamo, which means let's dance,
that's right, yeah, Andy, Glaciers means church. Well. Enrique Iglesias
begin his career with the name Enrique Martinez because he
(22:10):
didn't want to be known as Julio Man. He didn't
he didn't want his dad to know about his plans
to be in music, and he didn't want the name
to help him advance to career. So he borrowed money
from his family nanny and recorded a demo which consisted
of a Spanish song in two English songs. Fun fact
about Enrique Iglesias. You know that song Custin not I'm
Loving You. That's not the original version. The original version
(22:32):
is Custin notam Effing you? Really? And they made a
radio edit. I remember you talking about this blown away
when I played it the first time, was like, oh
my god, because the song was effing you. That's weird too.
Whenever he's the songs like, uh, I've known from coast
to coast and let's say about them. He's got so
(22:53):
much coming, he goes and I know it may be rude,
but to not in you And I'm like, whoa does
he sing that live? That version? I don't think probably not. Okay,
it's too much. I mean, just to write that it's
a little much. Might it might? Yeah? That I felt
it was like who would say that? Yeah, no one, no, no,
no one, like in real life, no one would ever
do that. And finally I can't think of anymore. You'll
(23:19):
be like, oh crap o God. There's a lot of them.
Bob and all his sons, Bob Marley and Ziggy Marley
his most famous music son. All of them do a
lot of them do oh yeah, Damien Stephen Ziggy as
the leader of the band Ziggy Marley and the Melodymakers
and the son of Bob Marley and Rita Marley and
(23:40):
so again, he has a lot have sons that do music,
but Ziggy would be the A lot of kids, yeah,
with different women I was listening to an episode of
Just Graceland about Bob Marley. Did you hear that one, Mike,
I haven't heard that Bob Marley's people would go out
of these stations and like the Bahama isn't like have
a gun and make them play the music. Yeah, I
guess they have different rules. Yaful people don't worry. What
(24:03):
do you mean, man, you got a gun? So um, Yeah,
that's a that's a fun little topic there. And I
think what we're gonna do in a later episode, Brent's here,
we're gonna record. I think sometimes people like to hear
the back behind the scenes of radio and Brent against
a program director for two radio stations, country stations in Bakersville, California.
So we'll do a podcast about what it's like behind
(24:24):
the scenes for a radio program director. Co Um. That
being said, the inspiration of this whole podcast was me
wanting to talk to Aubrey Sellers and coming up and
just now we're we're gonna do it a spot quick break,
quick break, and on the other side of this break,
we'll talk with one of my favorite artists, Aubrey Sellers. Aubrey, Hello,
(24:50):
there she is, how are you Aubrey, God, how are you?
Where are you right now? I'm in my car in
l A. But I'm not driving yeah out because they'll
bust you quick in California for driving with it. And
like here in Nashville, we just started the hands free
so it kind of doesn't matter. Like sometimes I still
hold it in my hand, but if you do it
(25:12):
out there, yeah, they just passed like two months ago. Wow,
it's it's changed so much, Aubrey since you left. Yeah,
it's a completely different city. I didn't know. I have
been meaning to get you on for a couple of reasons.
Reason number one. And I told Mike d I said, Hey,
I want to get Aubrey on because, um, you know
(25:32):
I'm a big fan of yours, right, I tell you
that every time I see I'm like, I'm your biggest fan.
And then you've been putting out some new stuff and
and I was like, man, I want get Aubrey talk
about these songs. So why don't we start with that first? Um,
I want to play this song that UM with Steve
Earle My Love will not Change. You want to play
a clip of it. I don't know if you're able
to hear this, but I'm gonna play a clips, so
we'll come right back to you. Did you hear that Aubrey?
(26:00):
Can you hear yourself? Okay? No, she can't. Okay. So
I'm gonna tell you this song is playing right. That
was real good. It's called My Love Will Not Change
My Aubrey Sellers, tell me about this song right here.
So this is the only song on my new record
that I didn't write. It was actually a bluegrass song.
A guy named Sean Camp wrote it with Billy Burnett
and do you know who Del McCurry is. Okay, So
(26:22):
Del McCurry did a kind of the quintessential version of it,
but it's a total bluegrass song. So people woul go
listen and like hear the original version. And when I
heard it, I was like, I want to kind of
do this in my own style, you know, kind of
rock it out a little bit. And when I decided
to record it, I was like, Feverles like one of
my ultimate heroes, and so I was like, I can't
(26:43):
hear anyone else I would like sing this song with
except him, So I like totally like stalked him to
try to figure out this song. And so it's kind
of a dream come true. I like, she's like, you know,
I decided to rock this one out. All she does
is rock things out like a bit. When you put
out your last record, it was all like electric, right yeah,
(27:03):
I was, Yeah, she's like this one I decided to No, no,
you rock everything out like um, Okay, I know Eddie.
Do you know Del McCarry? Of course I do. Okay, Yeah,
the White Hair and All and the bluegrass band. I dude,
he's just been rocking for so long, so good. Yeah,
Aubrey knows a lot of these old schoolers because she's
been around her whole life. Right, So, how do you
(27:24):
get introduced to like Steve Earl and Del McCurry. How
did I want? How do you get introduced to people
like Steve Earl and Del McCurry. Oh well, So it's
funny because my dad, growing up play blue grass with
Ricky Skaggs. So I just knew a lot of those people.
And you know, obviously my mom listened to a lot
of country music and things countries too, so I was
(27:44):
I just exposed all of that from a young age,
and so I have a really I have a real
appreciation for blue grass. In fact, if I didn't do
the kind of music I do. I at one point
in my life wanted to play blue grass. You know.
It's it's funny because I think you could have had
you probably have had plenty of opportunities to kind of
ride your parents hotails, but you chose just to go
(28:06):
kind of a different angle with that. I'm assuming that
was kind of on purpose. Yeah, I mean I've felt
a lot of pressure to like live up to not
only like what people I guess expected from my parents
being successful, but also just you know, I think still
when people hear me, they expect me to kind of
sound like my mom or whatever, and so I definitely
(28:28):
felt like a need to make a distinct stance in
the beginning and be like, I'm not my parents. You know,
I may have some similarities because of genetics, but like,
I want to do it my way, and you know,
I even tried to keep people from mentioning it, but
that's kind of impossible. So I kind of gave that
up quickly. Because sometimes you can look at a picture
(28:49):
and you can see, you know, wow, I do like when,
for example, Eddie, like you and your dad, you can
probably see your dad at your age and think it
looks like you now not not visual to Aubrey, can
you hear you? And here it sounds like your like
your voices sound similar for sure. Our voices, I think
sound really similar. Um. But that's the thing too, it's
(29:10):
like I can't help that, you know. It's like I
literally have her DNA. But uh, and I grew up
on the road too, ladies. For you know, she homesuled
me like out of around her all the time, hearing
her sing all the time. So it's just gonna be
natural that I found like we're a little bit vocally,
but you know, musically obviously it's different. So I'm gonna
play another song here. This is called Drag You Down.
So Aubrey, you will hear silence, but we will be
(29:31):
nodding our head and listening to the song in our
ears because we don't have the technology yet for you
to hear it as well. Here's Drag You Down from
Aubrey tellers. Well, you can track stuff and I've always
had a sorry, that's drag you Down. Tell me about
(29:53):
this one, Aubrey. I heard that one, by the way,
Oh she did. We pushed a button so you can
hear it. Yeah, we're figured stuff. It is a man.
This podcast gotta go in, all right, So tell me
about Drag You Down. Um, So, Drag You Down is
uh it's kind of like a song about breaking someone
down to your level when they're not being very empathetic,
(30:14):
you know. I think we just like I think it's
kind of when you wrote it, like, I don't think
the world was as heated as it is right now
because I've read it a couple of years ago. But
now I feel like it's really a timely song because
it's like kind of about you know, people not seeing
eye to eye and and kind of that emotion you
feel when when you want to bring someone to your
level and kind of have them seekings through your eyes.
(30:35):
And uh, yeah, I wrote with a girl named Shannon
right and she's singing on it, and we had a
lot of fun with that one. So check out those
two songs from Aubrey. I'm gonna tell you I still
love this the whole New City Blues just so good,
so good. I feel the need to like take her
by the shoulders and look and go, you're so good
every time I see her and we don't see we
(30:56):
don't see each other often, but a couple of times
a year, We'll running each other somewhere. I think the
last time I'll reach we saw each other was at
Dirk's the show. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, in Los Angeles.
She what's that like being an art an artist living
in l A. So, I mean, I grew up in Nashville,
you know, I was born and raised there. So I
feel like it was a little bit time for me
(31:17):
to try to do something a little different for myself
and and kind of get out of my comfort zone
and get out of the Nashville bubble that I've been
living in my whole life. And and you know, I
actd here, so I came out here to kind of
pursue that a little bit. And I really like it
out here. I think like it's good. It's it's good
to kind of get in a different mindset and get
around some different people. And and I know everybody says
(31:38):
this and it seems like such a stupid thing, but
the weather is really incredible. But it makes me happy
every day. So I'm a really good time out here.
It's really creatively inspiring, and it's nice to kind of
break out of the Nashville show and kind of you know,
find find something else. You know, A follow you on
Instagram and all of your pictures aren't black and white anymore.
There's some color ones and when they pop up and
(31:59):
you're in color like she must be in an especially
chipper mood today. I know, yeah, playing a little color
into my life. I like it. But I'm still you know,
I still gotta I still have a majority by you
knows well everyone out there that's listening right now, I
just should. Uh. She's got a new record coming out
in February of am I accurate on that Aubrey that's
(32:23):
correct on the seventh seven, while we'll be in line
at the local record store demanding I get my Aubrey Sellers.
Check out the couple tracks she has that Now my
level not change with Steve Earle and drag you down
and Aubrey appreciate you. You know, I'll say it for
the third time in this uh fifteen minute interview. I'm
such a big fan. And if you ever need anything,
let me know. Thank you so much. Right there, she
(32:45):
has Aubrey Sellers by Aubrey by
Hey, welcome to episode one. And I'll say this entire
episode was inspired by the guests we're gonna have later
because I wanted to get Aubrey Sellers on and I
was like, hey, we should get Abrey Sellers on and
talk to her. And then she's done a full Bobby
cast before, and I was like, I don't want we
(00:22):
could build around Aubrey Sellers and um, you know, her
mom is Lean Wolmack, and she's been able to kind
of create her own identity outside of being Lean Wolmack's kid.
As a matter of fact, I think whenever you can
go back and check an old Bobby cast of Aubrey
and I talking even then, I was like, you know,
we'll talk about it. I know this isn't like for me.
I don't think of you as just Lean when next daughter,
(00:43):
But we do talk about that there and we'll talk
to her. She got some great new music out. But
this whole episode was inspired by her, and that's going well.
Talked to Aubrey and then Mike Dy and I go in,
we should do a whole thing about people with the
famous parents and sometimes you forget about them. We got
a whole crew in for the podcast today to talk
about this. First of all, Mike do who produces the show,
which I'll say this, I think this idea was mine,
(01:05):
but Mike deeded the heavy lifting on a lot of
the research. Is that accurate? That is accurate? And I
think that's kind of how we do some of these.
I'm like, oh, you know'll be cool, Mike, what if
we did artists who wore blue jeans on a Tuesday?
Go find every one of them? I got it. And
then he goes and does a lot of the research
and we talked about it. Also bringing in producer Eddie
who's a part of the Sore Losers podcast. You like
(01:26):
sports check that out. And also we'll have an episode
coming up with Brent Michaels, who is the program director
of our station, The Bull and Bakersfield. And also Kay's
Easy so he's actually here too, and so we thought
we'd let you hang out and say stuff too. So, um,
let's talk about musicians with parents who are also famous musicians.
This is a pretty cool topic, Eddie. If I say that,
(01:46):
and I'll go I'll do Aubrey Sellers first. Yeah, okay,
so that's Aubrey. She has the parents Jason Sellers and
Leanne Womack and as a step daughter of the music
produce of Frankloadel did a lot of Miranda stuff. So
she's like, hey, listen, I've had a lot of chances
(02:08):
to and she sounds like her mom. I'm just rock
and rolled up this and is the inspiration to this podcast. Eddie.
I'll come to you first. When I say, because you
don't know who I have on the list here, I
don't when I say artists that have parents that were
also musicians, who do you have right off the bat?
(02:29):
Is one of my favorites. I mean, I'm a huge
Bob Dylan fan, and when I found out that Jacob
Dylan was Bob Dylan's son the wall Flowers, You've got
to have him on your list, right And here is
Jacob Dilan from the wall Flowers. And maybe people didn't
(02:59):
know that. Do you know that, Brent? I did know that,
making sure, making sure you're over there. So we're all
kind of music nerds here, though, I feel like some
people lived their whole life not knowing that the son
of Bob Dylan is Jacob Dylan, the lead singer of
The wall Flowers, And as a solo artist. Um. The
fact that the group takes his name for one of
Bob's songs is only one of the similarities the wall Flowers,
What song is that? What might do? What song is that?
(03:23):
You just copy and paste that line? I mean, that's
a good tidbit there. But I don't know what books.
I've read his books, and I like his hits. His
books are weird because it's almost like, I mean, and
you you you have a couple of books too, so
you understand. But I think when I when I read
the Bob Dylan book, it's like he's scatter brained and
and it's he's all over the place, and I feel
(03:45):
like that's kind of how he is. He's very stream
of consciousness, yes, and funny and funny. Story. When I
met Willie Nelson, I mean we hung out for like
an hour, hour and a half with Willie Nelson, and
it's right around the time that Bob Dylan released his
book Chronicles, and so I asked him, like, you know you, Bob, like,
so what what you read the book? It's like, yeah,
I read that crap. I was like, wait, what do
(04:06):
you think you know? Willy say, it's just a bunch
of bs, you know, like as Bob Dylan man a
bunch of bs, and it's like I love that. And
I think Bob Dylan too has kind of uh evolved
and and growing up and been like, yeah, man, that
is a bunch of bs. Me as a young kid
is a bunch of bs, you know. I like from
The wall Flowers, like sixth Avenue Heartache as a jam
that was like Avenue huh and Adam durt saying background
(04:27):
in that song. I feel like we covered this in
one of our podcast famous background singers and songs. Um okay,
I have two points I want to make one about. First,
I want to do Jacob Diylan and Willie Nelson rolled
Willi Nels because I have a story about him. Um So,
Jacob Dilan whenever he first started, did not want people
to know he's Bob Dylan's son, correct, so he would
just he would do different last names, different names he
would He wanted to be an artist on his own
(04:48):
and did make it, and before The Wallflower is really known,
he wasn't Jacob Dylan and was like, all right, people know,
I'm gonna go ahead be Jacob Delan. That's good. I mean,
I feel for an artist, like, that's a good thing,
that's what you want. You're gonna your dad's a one
of the I would say, the most famous songwriter of
all times. To Bob Dylan's known for is like the
first real uh folk songwriter. Um, I mean, and you
(05:10):
gotta you have to. You have to have a career
and live up to that. It's hard that that would
be tough. Willie Nelson's story because I'm right in the
middle of watching this documentary about the history of country
music and Willie Nelson talks about in it he was
booking I think Bob Wills and the Playboys, the Texas Playboys.
He was fourteen to fifteen years old. He's a concert promoter,
and he was like, you know what we He was like,
os fourteen, I would just tell artists I pay up
(05:32):
center fifty bucks and I'd hope that I got made
enough money at the door to pay him. And he
was talking about when he was fourteen years old booking
shows in Texas as a promoter. I thought that was
pretty crazy. Yeah, speaking of Willie Nelson, Willie's on the list.
So here you go, here's Willie. Watch cry Right, one
(05:53):
of my favorite songs ever and here is his son,
Lucas Nelson. I think for a lot of people, Lucas
kind of pierced that mainstream and the movie Stars Stars.
(06:15):
That was his band, Yes, Yes, that was his band.
And I think he wrote a lot of the songs
in that movie. Did he? Yeah? Is that true? Why?
Why don't you believe me? And I do say? I
think in front of everything I said, you're just saying,
did you see the Stars Born, Brent? I did? Did
you like it? I did? That was really good? Did
you like it because everybody el said it was good?
Or did you like it because you really thought liked it?
(06:37):
I saw it probably a year after everybody saw it,
But it was really good. So Willie Nelson, his son,
Lucas Nelson. He's the lead singer of Lucas Nelson in
the Promise of the Real And I saw him on
the Southwest flight once, Lucas else in his whole band.
You saw him on the flight? Yeah, that miked and
are sent on the plane Luke's Nelson. All the guys
walked by. Really did they smell like? No, they smelled
pretty good. Well, it didn't smell bad. Uh No, I
(07:00):
meant like that. They smell like, that's what I'm saying. Okay.
In October two, Lucas stop at the College. He wrote
music for A Star Is Born and also appeared in
the movie with Bradley's backing band. So there's one Brenna
company you. When you think of artists singers that have
famous parents, who do you have country otherwise matter or
anything you want? Man? Right off the top of my head,
(07:21):
Will Smith Jaden Smith? You know what? Wow, I wouldn't
have thought of that. I didn't think that one either.
Interesting because Jaden what has he done? He's an actor?
I don't know. He's a rapper though, does he have
any songs? Yeah? He has like a legit rap career.
Is he up on the wall? Okay? But we have
Brian Latrelle's kid, but we don't have Jaden Smith, Brian
(07:44):
Latrup Backstreet Boys. This is one of the ones Mike
and I were talking about. We were like, who's who
Brian Latrelle by by the way back? What's his kid?
Bailey Latrelle He's like thirteen, fourteen, sixteen, Okay, he's a singer.
He's to open up for the Batteryway, No idea. He's
a country singer too. Really, who are you drafting? Church? Maybe?
(08:10):
Just maybe? Yeah, that's a Bailey Latrell Backstreet boy. Bailey
Latreuill isn't the only musically inclined when the article says
his sixteen year old son Bailey jumped into action with
Don't Knock It. He made his Broadway debut in the
musical Disaster in Seen, and he's opening up for the
(08:31):
back Street Boys on their DNA World tour. That's cool,
so Jaden Smith works, I would say more so than
Bailey Latrell. I guess I went way off the board. No,
good for you. Um, here's one. Here's an interesting for you.
Interesting one is Miley and Billy Ray. It probably would
have thought about for a minute. Don't just don't you
(08:57):
don't stand And obviously Miley I came in. So her
name is real name? Is what Eddie? Can you name it? Oh?
It's not Miley Samantha. Do you know Miley's real name?
Brett Brandy? Brandy is her sister. Her sister. Yeah, her
(09:18):
name is Destiny Hope Cyrus Destiny Hope. She was born
with Supra Ventrilliker. I don't know. Is that like a puppet? Yeah?
I know, it's a condition with an abnormal resting heart rate.
Oh wow. Her birth name Destiny Hope expressed her parents
belief she would accomplish great things. Her parents nicknamed her Smiley,
which it later shortened to Mile. So that's interesting, man,
(09:41):
that you didn't know which you know her? Her godmother
is Brant Trivia, Miley Cyrus is godmother is Dolly. Look
at you now, now, do you think? Let me ask
you a question here. Do you think Miley has surpassed
Billy Ray? Yes? Okay, because that because this is unique
in that in that sense, Billy has had three careers
(10:05):
at least three, like three generations of who he is? Um,
Belly Ray Cyrus with a can Break Your Heart basically
a one hit wonder. I've had a couple of other
songs in country, but people really just know, like I
would know that song about um, what am I gonna
do when I get home? Do we have in the system?
What am I gonna do when I get home? Or
where am I gonna go when I get home? Belly
(10:25):
Ray Cyrus? Let me know if we have any other
Billy Ray is that off that album that some give all.
I'm not even gonna pick what out do we do
were you play? Would you mind hitting it? I'm pulling
it up right now. Okay if you if we do
have it, let me hear it. But again, if I
say that, you don't even know it right right now,
because and then he came back again for Miley Cyrus
in Hannah, Montana, which she was a part of, but
(10:47):
she was the star. And then he came back in
an old town Road as the second guy. I'm current now,
I would say Miley has far surpassed Billy Ray. I
agree with that. We only got a couple in the system. Okay,
could have been me. Some gave all Okay, make your poison,
not the one pick your poison. No. I just think
it's unique in in this in this list because most
(11:10):
of us just like these kids that have to live
up to their parents or what they did here, it's
like you have a kid that kind of Yeah, she
became what they wanted her to do. She wants they
wanted her to do big things that she did. She's
a superstar. Yeah, Eddie, can you name another one over
to you? Yeah, um, Hank Williams Junior Senior. Yeah, and
I guess you could even go Hank the third you
(11:32):
wanted to. That's kind of and you know what, I
think they may even Hank the fourth is there. I
don't know if there's not. The next one. Yes, here
you go. Here is Hank Williams counted five. Do you
(11:54):
guys remember tearing my beer? Yeah, there's a t and
he had his dad in the song. It was one
of the oh Matt King Cole things when Natalie and
Natty she brought her dead dad back to sing with her.
It was old version. I always like it when they
do that. I did too, And because they both sang
there's a tear in my beer, and you know, there's
the thing to where like they have tear in my
beer and they're from Hank Jr. There's a tear in
(12:16):
my beer, and I'm crying for you, dear, Oh my alone,
I'm crying for you, dear. You are my alone. My dad.
(12:37):
They say, keep drinking, get it about my wheelhouse not singing.
But I just feel like Hank Williams Junior and and
the third or whatever, and I feel like they've all
embraced the fact that their family is all in music.
You know, kind of like the difference between that artist
trying to get away from oh my, my dad was
an artist. I don't want I want my I want
(12:59):
my identity here. They're just like, yeah, man, this is us. Well,
they were also named after them, so they's not like
they could Hank Hanking hand away from that did and
Hank June. You know, Hank one died in his twenties.
I believe alcohol poison about poison, I mean probably cross
something like that. He's something to do with alcohol. He
(13:19):
died super young, Mike, Do we see what what what
deal was with him? Hank william Junior was born in
nine jr. Remember when we talked about Hank wim Jior
fell off a mountain and bust of his face and hit.
That's why he grows a beard. Because I didn't hear
about that. His face was split open from one end
to the other. Accident. They thought he was gonna die.
Hank Jr. Um Hank Williams first step on stage to
(13:40):
saying his father's songs when he was eight years old,
Junior saying senior songs. Mikey, how old was Hank Senior
when he died? He was twenty nine? Crazy? Huhn? And
to hear the Billy Joe Shavers story because Billy Joe
Shaver saw Hank Senior playing like in a bar, and
that's how he got interested in music. He climbed a pole.
He was a kid and saw Hank Senior and was like,
I gotta do this, and so he did it. You
(14:01):
said you saw Lucas Nelson on Southwest. I read an
article about him on Southwest on the Southwest magazine and
that they asked him, you know, like what made him
out of everything that his dad did, like what made
him love music? He said his dad would go and
would take him to shows. But he said he loved
watching what the crowd, how the crowd reacted to one note,
(14:21):
you know, just what the power of music did to
those people. He said, he fell in love automatically. So
it's cool to see the girls. That's like what everyone goes.
And I was wondering if parents want their kids to
be artists. No, for the most part, no, I never
asked a lot of artist that question. It's just a
weird profession. It's there's no success in it. It's a
(14:44):
thousand of one. Even if you have a famous parent
or sibling or uncle, you're always gonna be compared to them.
You know, I would say. Almost all artists that I
know I've told their kids this. You probably I don't
want you to do something else, Like, if you want
to do it, I'm not gonna stop you from doing it,
but I would like you to something it's more stable,
because you know, if they have money, they're gonna put
them to good, nice schools. You don't want them to. Yeah,
(15:06):
most artists that I know have told would not recommend
their kids do it. If they want to do it,
that's fine, but they're not going to push them to
They're not pursuing a um, Brent back over to you.
Can you name another artist that we have that has
a famous man, I don't know that I have another
one off the top of my head. The four or
five are the ones that have a pretty older artists. No,
(15:28):
there's one, there's still Yeah, there's still one really current
country artists, super current. I'll walk you to it. I'll
walk you to it. We had We've had both of
them on the show in the past six months, not together.
They've come in as as guests at different times. You
got this one, Brett, I know you do. I'll give
you another hint. The Dad is opening for the Sun
(15:49):
right now. On tour Red Akins and Thomas FRETTI there
you go, so here you go. Here's Red Akins, Here's
Thomas Rhett. Never get to see the no So Thomas
Rrett was born about Austin, Georgia, grew up in Nashville.
(16:11):
He is the son of Red Aikins and grew up
knowing other singers like Tim Mgrawl, Reeba Brooks and Done
as a kid at t R and I talked about
this in TRS Park. I've done a podcast with both
of them and they're both great. The red one was
big for us. It got a ton so I would
encourage you to check those out after this one. After
learning to play drums later one on stage, I started
playing with his dad. So that's a good one. Let's
(16:34):
do Elvis and Elvis's daughter was She did not do
a lot, not very well. No, I can't be very famous.
But she's the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Pressley.
As well as the sole artor father's estate, she has
(16:54):
developed a career of music business. Is this you? Three albums?
I don't know any of the songs she's done. I'm
trying to see if I know. She's been married and
divorced four times, including Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage. Oh wow,
I forgot about that. Which one? Uh, Nicolas Cage? I
remember the Michael Jackson. That was huge. I think that's
how we all knew who she was. Right in n
twenty birthday, she inherited the estate, which had grown to
(17:16):
over a hundred million dollars. In two thousand four, she
sold of her father's estate. But yeah, I guess I
don't know it really is a musician. I know she's tried,
but that's one of those that even with the name,
I wasn't able to do it. Um, Okay, Brent, I'm
gonna play this one. You tell me first to see
if you can just name the artist Wilson Phillips. Wilson Phillips. Now,
(17:46):
how does this fall into this this episode? Okay, So,
Brian Wilson's daughter, Carney Wilson, right, is in Wilson Phillips.
Good job, Ban Wilson from the Beach Boy. So Carney
(18:06):
Wilson is the daughter of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys,
and she co founded Wilson Phillips their younger sister, who,
by the way, as another Wilson oh, she's also and
China Phillips, so it's too Wilson's and a Phillips and
they weren't their teens. They released two albums and I
did Miss America. I Judgments America with Corney. Wilson was
(18:28):
called other on Instagram super nice, but I could not
sew everyone look at her. I want to do on
purpose stuck in your head. Yeah, I would see you
and I would just think every time and I'd be like, Carney,
I'm so sorry, and she was like, yeah, you should
be just fine. Um, Shooter Jennings wayl and Jennings. You know, shoot,
I think just produced the record from Tanya Tucker. Right,

Sometimes when the kind of Marilyn Manson, he was h oh,
(19:16):
look at that very diverse Shooter Jennings born May nine,
seventy nine. I mean, I knew Shooter ready from what
used to do Emmy television. He'd come in a lot,
he'd come in a lot. We'd see him have his
sunglasses on in em television is a regional tell. That's
how Eddie and I met. We were doing TV together
and it was a regional Texas show and we did
(19:36):
a whole Shooter Jenning special, a whole live concert. Yeah,
he did was a concert and we kind of put
it all together and broadcast that. But I don't. I
never I mean, I met him probably five times, but
I never got to know him. He wasn't He didn't
talk very much. So I don't know what he's like.
It's kind of scared of him. He looks like, but
I don't he may not be. Okay, how about which
(19:59):
one the Beatles has his son? That did music? Okay? Um?
From John and Sean. Hey, Jude not so much. Sean.
Julian did more. Really, that's Julian. That's Julian. Wow. He
sounds just like his dad, just like his dad more
than Sean does. Julian Lennon is an English musician a photographer,
(20:22):
son of John Lennon and Cynthia, and Julian was the
direct inspiration for three Beatles songs Ready, Lucy and This
Guy with Diamonds, Hey, Jude, Julian Billiant written by Paul McCartney,
and good Night his parents divorced. The nineteen sixty eight
Julian Lennon inspired one of his father's most famous songs,
(20:43):
Lucy and This Guy with Diamonds, whose lyrics described a
picture of a boy, that picture that he had drawn
a watercolor painting of his friend Lucy. O'Donnell, it's Lucy
and this Guy with Diamonds is a picture that his
son had painted with finger paints of a girl named Lucy. Yeah,
but I love how the media to that one, and
when it like it is l S D. Right, how
(21:04):
about this one? Do you know who this is? Brent Good,
Mike d good job on this. Eddie and I went
as Halloween, we did, and I did that. There's a
white guy in this song, and there's a Mexicanish singing
(21:27):
right now? You know that is no? I think I'm stumped.
That's Julio Iglesias. Okay, I was Willie Nelson. Eddie was
Julio Iglesis and his son is come on, Brent Enrique. Yeah,
he's a good one. I told Mike earlier. I was like,
that's a good one. Uh. Iglesia is born in Madrid, Spain. Ah,
(21:49):
he's not Mexican. My bad, that's why the Spanish, I thought. Dude.
But let's see like us some Mexicans. I'm Mexican American
and we're growing up like anyone. That spokes manashed like, yeah,
there's are people with Mexicans Blamo, which means let's dance,
that's right, yeah, Andy, Glaciers means church. Well. Enrique Iglesias
begin his career with the name Enrique Martinez because he
(22:10):
didn't want to be known as Julio Man. He didn't
he didn't want his dad to know about his plans
to be in music, and he didn't want the name
to help him advance to career. So he borrowed money
from his family nanny and recorded a demo which consisted
of a Spanish song in two English songs. Fun fact
about Enrique Iglesias. You know that song Custin not I'm
Loving You. That's not the original version. The original version
(22:32):
is Custin notam Effing you? Really? And they made a
radio edit. I remember you talking about this blown away
when I played it the first time, was like, oh
my god, because the song was effing you. That's weird too.
Whenever he's the songs like, uh, I've known from coast
to coast and let's say about them. He's got so
(22:53):
much coming, he goes and I know it may be rude,
but to not in you And I'm like, whoa does
he sing that live? That version? I don't think probably not. Okay,
it's too much. I mean, just to write that it's
a little much. Might it might? Yeah? That I felt
it was like who would say that? Yeah, no one, no, no,
no one, like in real life, no one would ever
do that. And finally I can't think of anymore. You'll
(23:19):
be like, oh crap o God. There's a lot of them.
Bob and all his sons, Bob Marley and Ziggy Marley
his most famous music son. All of them do a
lot of them do oh yeah, Damien Stephen Ziggy as
the leader of the band Ziggy Marley and the Melodymakers
and the son of Bob Marley and Rita Marley and
(23:40):
so again, he has a lot have sons that do music,
but Ziggy would be the A lot of kids, yeah,
with different women I was listening to an episode of
Just Graceland about Bob Marley. Did you hear that one, Mike,
I haven't heard that Bob Marley's people would go out
of these stations and like the Bahama isn't like have
a gun and make them play the music. Yeah, I
guess they have different rules. Yaful people don't worry. What
(24:03):
do you mean, man, you got a gun? So um, Yeah,
that's a that's a fun little topic there. And I
think what we're gonna do in a later episode, Brent's here,
we're gonna record. I think sometimes people like to hear
the back behind the scenes of radio and Brent against
a program director for two radio stations, country stations in Bakersville, California.
So we'll do a podcast about what it's like behind
(24:24):
the scenes for a radio program director. Co Um. That
being said, the inspiration of this whole podcast was me
wanting to talk to Aubrey Sellers and coming up and
just now we're we're gonna do it a spot quick break,
quick break, and on the other side of this break,
we'll talk with one of my favorite artists, Aubrey Sellers. Aubrey, Hello,
(24:50):
there she is, how are you Aubrey, God, how are you?
Where are you right now? I'm in my car in
l A. But I'm not driving yeah out because they'll
bust you quick in California for driving with it. And
like here in Nashville, we just started the hands free
so it kind of doesn't matter. Like sometimes I still
hold it in my hand, but if you do it
(25:12):
out there, yeah, they just passed like two months ago. Wow,
it's it's changed so much, Aubrey since you left. Yeah,
it's a completely different city. I didn't know. I have
been meaning to get you on for a couple of reasons.
Reason number one. And I told Mike d I said, Hey,
I want to get Aubrey on because, um, you know
(25:32):
I'm a big fan of yours, right, I tell you
that every time I see I'm like, I'm your biggest fan.
And then you've been putting out some new stuff and
and I was like, man, I want get Aubrey talk
about these songs. So why don't we start with that first? Um,
I want to play this song that UM with Steve
Earle My Love will not Change. You want to play
a clip of it. I don't know if you're able
to hear this, but I'm gonna play a clips, so
we'll come right back to you. Did you hear that Aubrey?
(26:00):
Can you hear yourself? Okay? No, she can't. Okay. So
I'm gonna tell you this song is playing right. That
was real good. It's called My Love Will Not Change
My Aubrey Sellers, tell me about this song right here.
So this is the only song on my new record
that I didn't write. It was actually a bluegrass song.
A guy named Sean Camp wrote it with Billy Burnett
and do you know who Del McCurry is. Okay, So
(26:22):
Del McCurry did a kind of the quintessential version of it,
but it's a total bluegrass song. So people woul go
listen and like hear the original version. And when I
heard it, I was like, I want to kind of
do this in my own style, you know, kind of
rock it out a little bit. And when I decided
to record it, I was like, Feverles like one of
my ultimate heroes, and so I was like, I can't
(26:43):
hear anyone else I would like sing this song with
except him, So I like totally like stalked him to
try to figure out this song. And so it's kind
of a dream come true. I like, she's like, you know,
I decided to rock this one out. All she does
is rock things out like a bit. When you put
out your last record, it was all like electric, right yeah,
(27:03):
I was, Yeah, she's like this one I decided to No, no,
you rock everything out like um, Okay, I know Eddie.
Do you know Del McCarry? Of course I do. Okay, Yeah,
the White Hair and All and the bluegrass band. I dude,
he's just been rocking for so long, so good. Yeah,
Aubrey knows a lot of these old schoolers because she's
been around her whole life. Right, So, how do you
(27:24):
get introduced to like Steve Earl and Del McCurry. How
did I want? How do you get introduced to people
like Steve Earl and Del McCurry. Oh well, So it's
funny because my dad, growing up play blue grass with
Ricky Skaggs. So I just knew a lot of those people.
And you know, obviously my mom listened to a lot
of country music and things countries too, so I was
(27:44):
I just exposed all of that from a young age,
and so I have a really I have a real
appreciation for blue grass. In fact, if I didn't do
the kind of music I do. I at one point
in my life wanted to play blue grass. You know.
It's it's funny because I think you could have had
you probably have had plenty of opportunities to kind of
ride your parents hotails, but you chose just to go
(28:06):
kind of a different angle with that. I'm assuming that
was kind of on purpose. Yeah, I mean I've felt
a lot of pressure to like live up to not
only like what people I guess expected from my parents
being successful, but also just you know, I think still
when people hear me, they expect me to kind of
sound like my mom or whatever, and so I definitely
(28:28):
felt like a need to make a distinct stance in
the beginning and be like, I'm not my parents. You know,
I may have some similarities because of genetics, but like,
I want to do it my way, and you know,
I even tried to keep people from mentioning it, but
that's kind of impossible. So I kind of gave that
up quickly. Because sometimes you can look at a picture
(28:49):
and you can see, you know, wow, I do like when,
for example, Eddie, like you and your dad, you can
probably see your dad at your age and think it
looks like you now not not visual to Aubrey, can
you hear you? And here it sounds like your like
your voices sound similar for sure. Our voices, I think
sound really similar. Um. But that's the thing too, it's
(29:10):
like I can't help that, you know. It's like I
literally have her DNA. But uh, and I grew up
on the road too, ladies. For you know, she homesuled
me like out of around her all the time, hearing
her sing all the time. So it's just gonna be
natural that I found like we're a little bit vocally,
but you know, musically obviously it's different. So I'm gonna
play another song here. This is called Drag You Down.
So Aubrey, you will hear silence, but we will be
(29:31):
nodding our head and listening to the song in our
ears because we don't have the technology yet for you
to hear it as well. Here's Drag You Down from
Aubrey tellers. Well, you can track stuff and I've always
had a sorry, that's drag you Down. Tell me about
(29:53):
this one, Aubrey. I heard that one, by the way,
Oh she did. We pushed a button so you can
hear it. Yeah, we're figured stuff. It is a man.
This podcast gotta go in, all right, So tell me
about Drag You Down. Um, So, Drag You Down is
uh it's kind of like a song about breaking someone
down to your level when they're not being very empathetic,
(30:14):
you know. I think we just like I think it's
kind of when you wrote it, like, I don't think
the world was as heated as it is right now
because I've read it a couple of years ago. But
now I feel like it's really a timely song because
it's like kind of about you know, people not seeing
eye to eye and and kind of that emotion you
feel when when you want to bring someone to your
level and kind of have them seekings through your eyes.
(30:35):
And uh, yeah, I wrote with a girl named Shannon
right and she's singing on it, and we had a
lot of fun with that one. So check out those
two songs from Aubrey. I'm gonna tell you I still
love this the whole New City Blues just so good,
so good. I feel the need to like take her
by the shoulders and look and go, you're so good
every time I see her and we don't see we
(30:56):
don't see each other often, but a couple of times
a year, We'll running each other somewhere. I think the
last time I'll reach we saw each other was at
Dirk's the show. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, in Los Angeles.
She what's that like being an art an artist living
in l A. So, I mean, I grew up in Nashville,
you know, I was born and raised there. So I
feel like it was a little bit time for me
(31:17):
to try to do something a little different for myself
and and kind of get out of my comfort zone
and get out of the Nashville bubble that I've been
living in my whole life. And and you know, I
actd here, so I came out here to kind of
pursue that a little bit. And I really like it
out here. I think like it's good. It's it's good
to kind of get in a different mindset and get
around some different people. And and I know everybody says
(31:38):
this and it seems like such a stupid thing, but
the weather is really incredible. But it makes me happy
every day. So I'm a really good time out here.
It's really creatively inspiring, and it's nice to kind of
break out of the Nashville show and kind of you know,
find find something else. You know, A follow you on
Instagram and all of your pictures aren't black and white anymore.
There's some color ones and when they pop up and
(31:59):
you're in color like she must be in an especially
chipper mood today. I know, yeah, playing a little color
into my life. I like it. But I'm still you know,
I still gotta I still have a majority by you
knows well everyone out there that's listening right now, I
just should. Uh. She's got a new record coming out
in February of am I accurate on that Aubrey that's
(32:23):
