Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Josie Show. We
have two incredible guests today. We have Jacob Tolliver joining
us and David Frizelle. So stay tuned to the whole show.
You will not want to miss a second with these
two incredibly talented artists. So let's jump right into it.
First up, Jacob.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Tolliver, Hey, Josie, how are you.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Oh, I'm doing wonderful. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
You are very welcome. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 8 (01:38):
I have been looking forward to this because I am
obsessed with your new single. Yes, if the phone ain't
ring and it's me like, this is literally one of
those songs that are so catchy.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
That kid, it's fun.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
It's so fun. I'm sure it's fun to perform live too.
Can you tell us about this song?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
So it is actually one of my best friends. He's
the radio DJ in my hometown in Ohio. Buddy of
my name is Steve Hayes. We were like during COVID,
right when I first bar opened up here. We are
sitting drinking a beer and he goes, I got a
song title for you, And I say, okay, what you got?
If the phone ain't ringing, it's me? And you know
that sounds brilliant with a beer in you and and
(02:19):
I said, no way. And so you know, I wrote
it down. And years later, just a few months ago,
I'm looking through my song ideas and I come across
the title again and I go, man, this would be
fun to write. And so my co writer is a
is also from my same hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio, a
(02:41):
guy named Rick Ferrell who he wrote uh, Tim McGraw's
Barbecue Stain something like that. He tons of big hits,
he's great writers, So the two of us. He lives
on a houseboat in Nashville, and we we hold up
on his houseboat one day and wrote, if the phone
ain't ringing, it's me.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's so good.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
The concept is amazing, and yes it's so it's so funny.
I love it so much.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
And this one, like I mentioned, must be fun to
perform live. Have you been getting great reaction?
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Oh? Yes, this one, it's the last two songs have
been going over so well live in the live setting
because you know, we we intentionally wrote this song so
I can have all you know, put all my bells
and whistles into it as far as performing goes, so
you know, all the piano antics are crammed into one song.
(03:36):
So of course it gets a great reaction live. But
it's because of that. It's so fun to play because
it does have all the bells and whistles, and the
audience loves it, so as you know, you're getting something
out of it in multiple ways. It's really fun.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Oh yes, ah, so fun.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
And you are a killer on the keys. I mean,
I say, I mean, my goodness, those fingers are flying.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
You're welcome. When did you learn to play? I'm assuming
you you took lessons right?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Well, actually kind of not, kind of kind of not.
I was about eight years old and I took piano
lessons from this really great piano teacher. She was an
older lady. She's she's passed now, but at the time
she was probably in her eighties. Super cool, had pink
hair and like like light pink, but she looked like
(04:22):
June Cleaver Leave at the Beaver's mom like. She was
very prim and proper, but it was so boring. You know.
It was like all the proper finger positions, and she'd
slap your hands if your hands weren't up correctly, and
it was just all all boring music. And I kept
telling her I wanted to do the fun stuff, and
she goes, Jacob, you have to go through this before
you get to the fun things. And so my I
(04:43):
was so bored. My ear started taking over and so
I would take a you know, whatever our piece was
of the week, I would look at it once memorize it.
Unbeknownst to me, I wasn't trying to, and then my
my ear would would take over and so I really
the whole week of practice, I really wasn't looking at
the piece, and so I'd come back in and you know,
(05:04):
it'd be merry had a little lamb and I've jazzed
it up. And so of course she knows because she's
reading the page and and so she's Jacob, you're not reading.
So after like six months of this, she finally told
my parents. She goes, look, love the kid. He has
a great talent, but I don't know how to teach it,
and I just don't think we're a good fit. And
(05:24):
I was so fed up with it. I said, you
know what, this is awesome. Please get me out of it.
So I put my keyboard under my bed. And it
wasn't until I was about fourteen years old. I was
cleaning my bedroom one day and I didn't touch a
piano at all between, you know, in between, and I
was cleaning my bedroom and I saw the keyboard under
(05:45):
my bed, and I go, you know what, I'm going
to pull that out and plug it in and see
if it still works. And so I dusted it off,
plugged it in, and I just instantly started going down
but dooom, but dooom but down down but doom doom
ba doom butt home, and my dad was walking down
our hallway and he poked his head in. He said,
well that you and I'm like, yeah, and he looked
at me right in the eyes and point he pointed
at me and he said, don't stop that. And in
(06:09):
three months I pretty much. It sounds crazy, but in
three months I had it down. I was pretty much playing.
I was playing the way I am Now. I wasn't
as you know, refined, but I knew all the things,
and I knew what I wanted to do. Maybe I
didn't have the muscle memory or whatever to be able
to do that, but it just clicked, like just a
(06:29):
light bulb went off, and the rest of history, I've
just been, you know, going on stop ever since.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Yeah, you' the ear for it, something you were born
to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't know what the name is for it.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
But you're You're incredible. That's amazing, that's amazing.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
And you know, going back to your music, because you've
released so many incredible singles this year alone, like Never
made It to the Moon, Cinderella, now this single.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Are we thinking you're very welcome? Are we thinking maybe
an album or EP could be in the works?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
What are we?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
What are we think?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
You? Yeah, So, if you've noticed, there's definitely a flavor
of there's kind of two flavors going on here. We
have the first three singles, which were Sunset Cemetery, Cinderella,
and Never Made It to the Moon. And then we
put out some kind of I don't know, for the
lack of better word, piano rockers, piano bangers, and uh,
(07:24):
you know, so these these piano these last couple of
piano songs, these are just kind of little single easter
eggs to put out just just to give people some
up tempo stuff. But we have a brilliant album recorded,
uh from the Never Made It to the Moon and
Sunset Cemetery session. Uh. It's a it's a full full
twelve tracks. It's it was recorded with this amazing producer,
(07:46):
guy named Mark Neil, who he's most his most famous
work was The Brother's album with the Black Keys. He's
he's kind of responsible for that whole sound. Just a
really amazing, amazing producer. He does all Charlie Crockett stuff
now and or a lot of his recent stuff. And
(08:07):
uh so he's been this producer that I've wanted to
work with for many, many years, and we finally worked
together and we wrote and recorded a full album. And
so that album will come out sometime next year, and
so Sunset Cemetery and Never Made to the Moon Cinderella
will be a part of that album. These these other
(08:28):
songs that we've been putting out there, just the up
tempo piano songs, those are just singles that that we're
dropping just because they're fun to do. And uh, we've
recorded those with with Kyle Lenning, who produced all of
Randy Travis's hits. And and so I'm just so blessed
right now because I have these just two powerhouse producers
(08:48):
kind of in different lanes. But it's all it's funny.
There's just I go to write a song and I
never know what's going to come out of me. It's
like I'm not trying to write in any certain ve.
But like some days I have a whole gospel album
written that we haven't recorded. Some days it's a gospel song.
Some days it's you know, it's more of a kind
(09:09):
of like the Never Made It to the Moons or
and sometimes it's you know, a yeehaw country, you know,
piano rock. It's it's kind of yeah, and it's it's
really fun because those are all styles that like really
speak to me. And so you know, we're throwing it
all out there and see what sticks. And and so
far everybody's loved everything.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And and.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I think in today's world you can kind of get
away with a little more broad genre or genre less
approach when you look at you know, you look at
Post Malone and all these people who are just genres
just put out good music. And so that's my that's
my goal is just whatever it is, I want it
to be good and and and love it. And so
(09:53):
that's what we're doing. But yes, there will be a
full album of of the one batch of material. And
we have a couple more songs coming up from Kyle
Lenning as well. We have two more that we recorded
with him. And yeah, so we were sitting on like
twenty songs that we want to put out four or five.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
So, oh my goodness, I can't wait. I love it
you're coming through with the content.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
This is one's Oh great, I can't wait, because you
really do have music for everyone, you know, and that's
why I love that you're not, you know, necessarily genre specific,
because people from all genres could really enjoy your music.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And yeah, you know, like you.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Mentioned before, as long as the music is good, people
will listen. And really enjoy it.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
And that is so far what you have put to
the table. So I can't wait for the new album.
I can't wait for the new singles. We will be
promoting it like crazy once it all comes out as well.
We will keep intake of course, no problem, no problem.
And you know another thing I wanted to talk about
because you released a rendition which I think is phenomenal
of the Randy Travis classic honky Tonk sign Crown. Yes,
(10:56):
and you've also appeared on some dates for the Randy
Travis Moore Life Toward Now. I want to ask you
because being a Randy Travis huge band myself, what's been
the impact do you feel that Randy Travis has made
on you and your career?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Yeah, and he's he has helped me so much his
wife Mary.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I mean, first off, Randy Travis is exactly what you
see like, He's just this ball of light and joy
and that is he's not hiding anything.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He is that.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
And so you know, I've gotten to become friends with
with them over the last my gosh, I don't know,
probably seven years now, it's been a while, and they
they asked me to be a part of his More
Life tour about a year and a half ago, maybe
two years ago now. And you know what, when they
asked me, I thought, okay, you know what do I
(11:46):
what do I? What can I bring to the table here?
Like I can't go out there and you know, may man,
that's not me, that's not my voice. So I'm like,
how do I even approach covering a Randy Travis song?
I have no idea. So I am a huge fan,
but I applied to me. It's like, I don't know,
you know, what do I do? And so I was
kind of I was kind of freaking out. And so
(12:07):
I went through every album, every song on every album
that he ever put out, and I was highlighting you know,
as I went through, I highlighted a couple of songs.
I go, okay, I can see myself doing this, this, this,
But there was just one. There was one that really
stuck out, and it was honky Tonks Side of Town,
which was on an album of his from ninety four.
And I thought, you know what, I can same thing. Like,
(12:30):
you get one song at a show in an arena
with Randy Travis, you better put all your bells and whistles.
So I thought this one, I can just put all
the all the stuff in and so I you know,
arranged this version and came up with it and started
doing it at the shows, and one show turned into
two shows, turned into three to four and et cetera,
(12:50):
and they start, you know, kept inviting me to you know,
make appearances, and it just kept going over so well live.
To go back to your first question, this is how well,
this is how this song came about at all. Because
it was going there so well live, we thought, man,
we really got to go in the studio and and
cut this song. And so we called Kyle, who recorded
(13:12):
all Randy Randy songs, and you know, ask him if
you'd be interested in producing this song, and so, you know,
and then he goes, well, if you're gonna book a session,
we might as well record a batch of songs, because
you're paying for the musicians anyway. And so one song
turned in. We pumped like five songs out in like
three hours, and so all done live with the band
(13:36):
had a great band, and Randy was was there in
the studio with us, and so you see that in
the Honk Took Side of Town music video, Randy's in
the studio with us, and and it was it was
really it was just a great day and I'm so
happy with the way it turned out. But that's that's
the backstory on that. And so now it's become like
(13:57):
a staple, you know, in my shows because one us
it's so fun to play and it's gone over so well.
So it is a fun new you know. It's it's
hard to find up tempo songs that aren't so well known,
you know, because this one wasn't a hit of Randy's.
It was the side and so this one I'm able
to kind of make my own. So it's it's pretty fun.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yeah, you're able to have fun with it.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
I think that is so cool, and I love I
love the video for it because when you're like really
getting down with the piano, it's so cute.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Randy Travis does like a little gesture like what this.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
It was.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
It was the coolest thing. I definitely recommend watching the
video everybody. But it's it's just the coolest moment.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
And you know, going back to if the phone ain't
ring and it's me any thoughts on maybe a music
video for this song?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Well, uh so it's funny. A friend of mine, she
is a photographer slash videographer, and she does a lot
of my album covers and things. She the other day asked,
why are you doing a music video for this? I said, well,
we didn't really plan on it. She said, well why not.
You should get a phone booth and we take it
(15:04):
out in the middle of and this is before we
shot the album cover. And ye, and I said, this
is funny. You say this because I just happened to
have a phone booth. And I'm not even kidding. My
dad has three of them for whatever reason. He got
them about fifteen years ago because he thought they were cool.
And so my mother was so mad when he brought
(15:27):
these in. What are we doing with three phone booths?
And you know, they're like they're sitting beside a barn,
and you know, what's so junkie? We have three phone booths.
But finally they had a purpose fifteen years later, and
so I stole the phone but I didn't even tell.
I knew it would be a problem if I told
my father. He'd be you know, he's protective, he gets,
you know, uptied about that stuff. And so I just
(15:50):
stole the phone booth one day and got it and
did the when we shot the album cover. Well, then
we thought, you know what, listen to the music video,
So then I stole again. He didn't know I sold
it either time. I don't know if he's still made,
and so we steal it and we take it down
this road. So we did shoot one, but sadly we
had a thunderstorm coming in. So I hope she's editing
(16:12):
the footage now and I hope.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
We have what we need, but I understand how that goes.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Yeah, so we we may or may not have a
music video is user to That just depends on if
we have the cuts we needed. But we were fighting
to rain and and so we'll see. But hopefully we
have a we have a fun Christmas song coming out.
We have a version of Here Comes Santa Claus, a
fun up tempo piano version of that coming out on
(16:39):
the twenty first of November, so soon we'll be into
that song and Christmas time. So if we if we
didn't get the cut of the music video, we probably
won't have it. We probably won't go back and redo
it just because we're onto the next But fingers cross, fingers.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Cross, fingers cross for y'all, I think that's cool about
the uh the phone booth story that is so funny. Well,
if it does come out, he will see the cameo.
He will see his phone booth making a cameo.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
U in the song. But but I didn't send in
the album cover. Uh, it's still name an MP three,
So unless he's been online snooping around.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
He hasn't seen it yet, right, right, one of these
things that's so funny. I love that.

of course talk about Frizel Christmas.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Well, that's going to be good.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You know.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
I just kind of finished that, Uh just just kind
of got it finish a little while back.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But it just knocks me out. It's the first time
I've done a few few things before, you know.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
But but this thing is just this. There's some of this,
some of the songs that's all. This album just so great.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
My good friend Freddy hard It wrote some incredible songs
in his time and been a friend of mine. My
whole life is about and so uh he's he's on
this album and he's got two or three songs on
Earth and uh so I'm actually the one of my
I'm actually singing a duet with him, and he was
(20:25):
just so much fun.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
He was such a great guy.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Oh, yes, it's great to it. I hope everyone does
check it out. It was it has so many great classics.
But then, of course songs you know that maybe people
are not one hundred percent familiar with, but they'll be
able to get familiar with it with this album. So
I wanted to ask, was it difficult picking and choosing
what songs made it onto the album?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Not not, not really, because I had Freddy Hart, you know,
I was doing another I produced his last album, matter
of fact, and so uh so I got a chance
to do these that he just rote him, and he
was writing him on the way to getting in and
then the studio just singing him. He was so talented,
(21:09):
one of my most talented people. But anyway, my brother
left the game Bay. Just to give you a little
little upone on this thing, clean, my brother and my
brother left. He met Freddie Hard before and started his
career for it.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Let my brother left.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He met him in about fifty two or three and
met him, and he met him in Phoenix, Arizona, and
then and Freddy singing him a couple of about nineteen
fifty two or three, and and uh, and Lefty was
doing the show and uh in Phoenix, and Freddy found
him and and let your say, well singing a couple
of songs. So Letty's I mean, Freddy sing left You
(21:46):
a couple of songs, picked up Lefty's guitar and sang
the song and left You said, let's go to Let's
go to LA, and Freddy said, oh my god. He said,
if I got time to say goodbye to my wife, lets.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Said, they gotta goda. So they got over there and
let you got in this first record deal. So let
me did his first album for him.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And years later, like not too long ago, Trady called
me and asked me to do his last week.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
So I did this left he did his first one,
I did his last one. What was there?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We did some of Christmas songs, but I did a
little duet thing with him. And it's just not that
I love the whole album, and so I hope you
like it too.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh we love it, We really really do.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
And I love that, like I said, you covered some
great classics as well, so I know a holly jolly
Christmas is on there.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
But what I love is what makes it special with
this song.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
In particular, it features your brother, Alan Frazzel, Jade Frizzell
and Cagney Frazzell.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
What was it like recording this one altogether?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But that is the way you need to do it
right there, they are all They are all incredible people
to everyone of them. Chalented is incredible. So I had
a good time with him and uh and uh, we
just had to that's a great song. It's a great song.
I mean I've heard Merle Hagger do it not too
long ago. Oh no, his Christmas out. Oh yeah, but
(23:08):
it's just a great song. So you know, we had
a great time doing it because they're incredible on it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So hope you like it, Oh yes, and I hope
everyone goes and checks it out.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Now people are able to get hard copy CDs as well,
So can you tell us where we can find this
album right now?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
As far as I know, it is David frazila dot

favorite Christmas memory that you could.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Well, I'll tell you, well, there's quite a few of them, actually.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
One of the best things that I think that I've
done that I've had the right to do, or the
wish to do, and that is to do a Christmas
album kids, you know, write some kids songs and for children,
and so I did. I wrote and a lot of
some of those songs are on that album and they'll
(25:34):
all this on this Christmas album. And I'm just so
proud of them, and I hope that everybody gets a
chance to hear some of them, uh, that they'll.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
That they'll like it.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Oh, they definitely will get the whole family, uh and
and enjoy it. And you know that's that's the big
part about Christmas is spending time with the family. So
you got to enjoy some great music, of course from
David Frizell, so please make sure.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You check that out.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
And I wanted also touch a bit on because your
prior album, which we also love here, was a tribute
to your brother Lefty Frizzelle.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh right, yes about that.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, goodness gracious, well, that is something that's that's unbelievable.
I found I found a great track with my brother
Lefty singing uh, always Late, and that was the one
that left you wrote back in fifty one, and there
was the number one song in nineteen fifty one. Uh.
(26:28):
But I found him singing it on the track, and
I took that track and I put I have put
him on it.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
You know, he's already on it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
But I re recorded the song and then I put
David Frizzell on there singing with Lefki, and then I
put Alan Frizzell on there singing with David and left brother.
Three generations of Frazzel's singing always Late, and it just
gives me a goosebunch when I hear here it. And
(26:58):
then so there's that one on there was late and
then that's me and Merle Haggard.
Speaker 9 (27:03):
You remember Merle Haggard.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Imagine you're not knowing Merle Haggard. Merle Haggard's and we're
doing it. If you got the money, got the time
of do it, Me and Merle Haggard. Jeane Watson, Gene
Watson's on there and we're me and him are doing
a duet. And when I lefty songs called What's the
Name of the Joe Long Black Veil, And that's one
of the saddest songs I've ever heard. And I was
(27:31):
lefty when he got it. I was really left you
when he recorded it in nineteen fifty fifty nine, nineteen
fifty nine. I was with him when he recorded it.
And then me and Jeene Watson recorded a little while back,
and that's on there. And one song I mentioned Freddy
Hart to you already on the Christmas album thing, but
(27:52):
he wrote a song called left of course that has
to be.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
A part of this album.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, I mean, come on, Freddy came out and recorded it.
It's one of my absolute favorite things. But there's so
many great things on this thing. And men, Alan did
I Never Go Around Mirrors one of the Lefty songs,
and that he wrote and recorded.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
It's just an incredible album. But what is one of
the main things about this one is that I that
I love is.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
The one I mentioned to you about always late, And
that's not me Lefty and Alan singing the same song together,
three brothers, three generations for els.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's incredible.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
It really gives me goosebumps even just talking about it,
let alone listening to it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh one other thing too. Joe Anderson one of the
great songwriters and in our whole life.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He wrote a song and we we co wrote a
song because Saginaw, Michigan, and uh so, Freddy came to
the studio.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
Him and I did a duet on it. So it's
me and Freddie Art saying I love it, Bill Anderson,
what did I say? What did I call it? I
call it yes, Bill and and he came out and
me and him did a duet on Saginaw, Michigan. And
it just absolutely gives me teals when I hear it.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Oh, please everyone check it out. You have some great
albums out you really really do. I mean, if you
go you know, of course they're available on all of
the streaming sites. But I of course love a CD.
I love putting my hand on a real you know CD.

(29:40):

autographs some.
Speaker 10 (30:13):
People, and a lot of people came up with the
album of me and Shelley West. I know we did
five albums together, I think it was, and the Oklahoma
Song and all that. So all that was so tough
things in there, and they've had that picture of me
and Shelley West.
Speaker 9 (30:29):
It just knocks me out when I seen that kind
of thing.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
And the albums came by and I was signing those
and all those albums. I don't know that I've forgotten that.
There were so many of the there's so many.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That's the thing. You have been busy in your career,
my friend. You have done so much.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Oh man, tell you what I remember.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I remember, uh, way back whenever Left he was my
brother left. You were just getting started in nineteen forty nine.
He was writing songs and he right like I Love
You a Thousand Ways, and and if you got mind
at the time, and and and just incredible songs and uh.
And we were living out of Snyder, Texas. I don't
(31:12):
know if you know where that's happening. Not Texas. There's
a little town not too far from that called Kermit, Texas.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
And I was up there there. They were staying with
my uncle and I had a radio show. Uh And
and I was nine years old or ten, but.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Note again, and I was singing all the way I
Love You a thousand ways sounded like a little girl singing.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
My voice.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
And my wife Joanne has got a has got a
copy of it.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
One other thing, I wanted to bring your attention to
Shelley West. We mentioned Shelley wedb Expins to Go. She
has retired, as you know, but she came out of retirement,
came to the studio and we recorded I Love You
a Thousand Ways Together. It's a duet with me and
Shelley West again. And well, you got to hear it.
(32:06):
It's just knocked out to hear it knocks out, knocks
me out to hear David Shelley sing anything right again.
But it's a new one. It's a brand new thing.
It's an older great song. Well, great songs that left you.
Frizelle wrote Doctor in nineteen forty and forty seven, forty
eight one or something like that. Yeah, and we're recording
(32:29):
but her and I, she actually came out of retirement,
came to the studio and we recorded this incredible song.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Oh, I'm glad she did. I'm glad she did because
it's such a good song. It's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
Oh, it's incredible, it really is.

From the Streets of Memphis to sell two eight, Dylan
Jarvis walked through darkness and found redemption through faith. Facing
a thirty year sentence, he picked up a guitar and
began writing raw, honest songs about pain, survival, and hope.
After losing his best friend to addiction, Dylan stepped in
to raise his friend's two babies while raising three of
his own children, and built a new life dedicated to
(34:38):
helping others heal. His music is real, soulful, and deeply personal.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Josie Show. We
have two incredible guests today. We have Jacob Tolliver joining
us and David Frizelle. So stay tuned to the whole show.
You will not want to miss a second with these
two incredibly talented artists. So let's jump right into it.
First up, Jacob.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Tolliver, Hey, Josie, how are you.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Oh, I'm doing wonderful. Thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
You are very welcome. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 7 (01:36):
Oh, I'm so excited.
Speaker 8 (01:38):
I have been looking forward to this because I am
obsessed with your new single. Yes, if the phone ain't
ring and it's me like, this is literally one of
those songs that are so catchy.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
That kid, it's fun.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
It's so fun. I'm sure it's fun to perform live too.
Can you tell us about this song?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
So it is actually one of my best friends. He's
the radio DJ in my hometown in Ohio. Buddy of
my name is Steve Hayes. We were like during COVID,
right when I first bar opened up here. We are
sitting drinking a beer and he goes, I got a
song title for you, And I say, okay, what you got?
If the phone ain't ringing, it's me? And you know
that sounds brilliant with a beer in you and and
(02:19):
I said, no way. And so you know, I wrote
it down. And years later, just a few months ago,
I'm looking through my song ideas and I come across
the title again and I go, man, this would be
fun to write. And so my co writer is a
is also from my same hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio, a
(02:41):
guy named Rick Ferrell who he wrote uh, Tim McGraw's
Barbecue Stain something like that. He tons of big hits,
he's great writers, So the two of us. He lives
on a houseboat in Nashville, and we we hold up
on his houseboat one day and wrote, if the phone
ain't ringing, it's me.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's so good.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
The concept is amazing, and yes it's so it's so funny.
I love it so much.
Speaker 8 (03:07):
And this one, like I mentioned, must be fun to
perform live. Have you been getting great reaction?
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Oh? Yes, this one, it's the last two songs have
been going over so well live in the live setting
because you know, we we intentionally wrote this song so
I can have all you know, put all my bells
and whistles into it as far as performing goes, so
you know, all the piano antics are crammed into one song.
(03:36):
So of course it gets a great reaction live. But
it's because of that. It's so fun to play because
it does have all the bells and whistles, and the
audience loves it, so as you know, you're getting something
out of it in multiple ways. It's really fun.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Oh yes, ah, so fun.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
And you are a killer on the keys. I mean,
I say, I mean, my goodness, those fingers are flying.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
You're welcome. When did you learn to play? I'm assuming
you you took lessons right?
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Well, actually kind of not, kind of kind of not.
I was about eight years old and I took piano
lessons from this really great piano teacher. She was an
older lady. She's she's passed now, but at the time
she was probably in her eighties. Super cool, had pink
hair and like like light pink, but she looked like
(04:22):
June Cleaver Leave at the Beaver's mom like. She was
very prim and proper, but it was so boring. You know.
It was like all the proper finger positions, and she'd
slap your hands if your hands weren't up correctly, and
it was just all all boring music. And I kept
telling her I wanted to do the fun stuff, and
she goes, Jacob, you have to go through this before
you get to the fun things. And so my I
(04:43):
was so bored. My ear started taking over and so
I would take a you know, whatever our piece was
of the week, I would look at it once memorize it.
Unbeknownst to me, I wasn't trying to, and then my
my ear would would take over and so I really
the whole week of practice, I really wasn't looking at
the piece, and so I'd come back in and you know,
(05:04):
it'd be merry had a little lamb and I've jazzed
it up. And so of course she knows because she's
reading the page and and so she's Jacob, you're not reading.
So after like six months of this, she finally told
my parents. She goes, look, love the kid. He has
a great talent, but I don't know how to teach it,
and I just don't think we're a good fit. And
(05:24):
I was so fed up with it. I said, you
know what, this is awesome. Please get me out of it.
So I put my keyboard under my bed. And it
wasn't until I was about fourteen years old. I was
cleaning my bedroom one day and I didn't touch a
piano at all between, you know, in between, and I
was cleaning my bedroom and I saw the keyboard under
(05:45):
my bed, and I go, you know what, I'm going
to pull that out and plug it in and see
if it still works. And so I dusted it off,
plugged it in, and I just instantly started going down
but dooom, but dooom but down down but doom doom
ba doom butt home, and my dad was walking down
our hallway and he poked his head in. He said,
well that you and I'm like, yeah, and he looked
at me right in the eyes and point he pointed
at me and he said, don't stop that. And in
(06:09):
three months I pretty much. It sounds crazy, but in
three months I had it down. I was pretty much playing.
I was playing the way I am Now. I wasn't
as you know, refined, but I knew all the things,
and I knew what I wanted to do. Maybe I
didn't have the muscle memory or whatever to be able
to do that, but it just clicked, like just a
(06:29):
light bulb went off, and the rest of history, I've
just been, you know, going on stop ever since.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
Yeah, you' the ear for it, something you were born
to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't know what the name is for it.
Speaker 7 (06:40):
But you're You're incredible. That's amazing, that's amazing.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
And you know, going back to your music, because you've
released so many incredible singles this year alone, like Never
made It to the Moon, Cinderella, now this single.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Are we thinking you're very welcome? Are we thinking maybe
an album or EP could be in the works?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
What are we?
Speaker 7 (06:59):
What are we think?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
You? Yeah, So, if you've noticed, there's definitely a flavor
of there's kind of two flavors going on here. We
have the first three singles, which were Sunset Cemetery, Cinderella,
and Never Made It to the Moon. And then we
put out some kind of I don't know, for the
lack of better word, piano rockers, piano bangers, and uh,
(07:24):
you know, so these these piano these last couple of
piano songs, these are just kind of little single easter
eggs to put out just just to give people some
up tempo stuff. But we have a brilliant album recorded,
uh from the Never Made It to the Moon and
Sunset Cemetery session. Uh. It's a it's a full full
twelve tracks. It's it was recorded with this amazing producer,
(07:46):
guy named Mark Neil, who he's most his most famous
work was The Brother's album with the Black Keys. He's
he's kind of responsible for that whole sound. Just a
really amazing, amazing producer. He does all Charlie Crockett stuff
now and or a lot of his recent stuff. And
(08:07):
uh so he's been this producer that I've wanted to
work with for many, many years, and we finally worked
together and we wrote and recorded a full album. And
so that album will come out sometime next year, and
so Sunset Cemetery and Never Made to the Moon Cinderella
will be a part of that album. These these other
(08:28):
songs that we've been putting out there, just the up
tempo piano songs, those are just singles that that we're
dropping just because they're fun to do. And uh, we've
recorded those with with Kyle Lenning, who produced all of
Randy Travis's hits. And and so I'm just so blessed
right now because I have these just two powerhouse producers
(08:48):
kind of in different lanes. But it's all it's funny.
There's just I go to write a song and I
never know what's going to come out of me. It's
like I'm not trying to write in any certain ve.
But like some days I have a whole gospel album
written that we haven't recorded. Some days it's a gospel song.
Some days it's you know, it's more of a kind
(09:09):
of like the Never Made It to the Moons or
and sometimes it's you know, a yeehaw country, you know,
piano rock. It's it's kind of yeah, and it's it's
really fun because those are all styles that like really
speak to me. And so you know, we're throwing it
all out there and see what sticks. And and so
far everybody's loved everything.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
And and.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I think in today's world you can kind of get
away with a little more broad genre or genre less
approach when you look at you know, you look at
Post Malone and all these people who are just genres
just put out good music. And so that's my that's
my goal is just whatever it is, I want it
to be good and and and love it. And so
(09:53):
that's what we're doing. But yes, there will be a
full album of of the one batch of material. And
we have a couple more songs coming up from Kyle
Lenning as well. We have two more that we recorded
with him. And yeah, so we were sitting on like
twenty songs that we want to put out four or five.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
So, oh my goodness, I can't wait. I love it
you're coming through with the content.
Speaker 8 (10:13):
This is one's Oh great, I can't wait, because you
really do have music for everyone, you know, and that's
why I love that you're not, you know, necessarily genre specific,
because people from all genres could really enjoy your music.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And yeah, you know, like you.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
Mentioned before, as long as the music is good, people
will listen. And really enjoy it.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
And that is so far what you have put to
the table. So I can't wait for the new album.
I can't wait for the new singles. We will be
promoting it like crazy once it all comes out as well.
We will keep intake of course, no problem, no problem.
And you know another thing I wanted to talk about
because you released a rendition which I think is phenomenal
of the Randy Travis classic honky Tonk sign Crown. Yes,
(10:56):
and you've also appeared on some dates for the Randy
Travis Moore Life Toward Now. I want to ask you
because being a Randy Travis huge band myself, what's been
the impact do you feel that Randy Travis has made
on you and your career?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Yeah, and he's he has helped me so much his
wife Mary.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I mean, first off, Randy Travis is exactly what you
see like, He's just this ball of light and joy
and that is he's not hiding anything.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
He is that.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
And so you know, I've gotten to become friends with
with them over the last my gosh, I don't know,
probably seven years now, it's been a while, and they
they asked me to be a part of his More
Life tour about a year and a half ago, maybe
two years ago now. And you know what, when they
asked me, I thought, okay, you know what do I
(11:46):
what do I? What can I bring to the table here?
Like I can't go out there and you know, may man,
that's not me, that's not my voice. So I'm like,
how do I even approach covering a Randy Travis song?
I have no idea. So I am a huge fan,
but I applied to me. It's like, I don't know,
you know, what do I do? And so I was
kind of I was kind of freaking out. And so
(12:07):
I went through every album, every song on every album
that he ever put out, and I was highlighting you know,
as I went through, I highlighted a couple of songs.
I go, okay, I can see myself doing this, this, this,
But there was just one. There was one that really
stuck out, and it was honky Tonks Side of Town,
which was on an album of his from ninety four.
And I thought, you know what, I can same thing. Like,
(12:30):
you get one song at a show in an arena
with Randy Travis, you better put all your bells and whistles.
So I thought this one, I can just put all
the all the stuff in and so I you know,
arranged this version and came up with it and started
doing it at the shows, and one show turned into
two shows, turned into three to four and et cetera,
(12:50):
and they start, you know, kept inviting me to you know,
make appearances, and it just kept going over so well live.
To go back to your first question, this is how well,
this is how this song came about at all. Because
it was going there so well live, we thought, man,
we really got to go in the studio and and
cut this song. And so we called Kyle, who recorded
(13:12):
all Randy Randy songs, and you know, ask him if
you'd be interested in producing this song, and so, you know,
and then he goes, well, if you're gonna book a session,
we might as well record a batch of songs, because
you're paying for the musicians anyway. And so one song
turned in. We pumped like five songs out in like
three hours, and so all done live with the band
(13:36):
had a great band, and Randy was was there in
the studio with us, and so you see that in
the Honk Took Side of Town music video, Randy's in
the studio with us, and and it was it was
really it was just a great day and I'm so
happy with the way it turned out. But that's that's
the backstory on that. And so now it's become like
(13:57):
a staple, you know, in my shows because one us
it's so fun to play and it's gone over so well.
So it is a fun new you know. It's it's
hard to find up tempo songs that aren't so well known,
you know, because this one wasn't a hit of Randy's.
It was the side and so this one I'm able
to kind of make my own. So it's it's pretty fun.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yeah, you're able to have fun with it.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
I think that is so cool, and I love I
love the video for it because when you're like really
getting down with the piano, it's so cute.
Speaker 7 (14:26):
Randy Travis does like a little gesture like what this.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
It was.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
It was the coolest thing. I definitely recommend watching the
video everybody. But it's it's just the coolest moment.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
And you know, going back to if the phone ain't
ring and it's me any thoughts on maybe a music
video for this song?
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Well, uh so it's funny. A friend of mine, she
is a photographer slash videographer, and she does a lot
of my album covers and things. She the other day asked,
why are you doing a music video for this? I said, well,
we didn't really plan on it. She said, well why not.
You should get a phone booth and we take it
(15:04):
out in the middle of and this is before we
shot the album cover. And ye, and I said, this
is funny. You say this because I just happened to
have a phone booth. And I'm not even kidding. My
dad has three of them for whatever reason. He got
them about fifteen years ago because he thought they were cool.
And so my mother was so mad when he brought
(15:27):
these in. What are we doing with three phone booths?
And you know, they're like they're sitting beside a barn,
and you know, what's so junkie? We have three phone booths.
But finally they had a purpose fifteen years later, and
so I stole the phone but I didn't even tell.
I knew it would be a problem if I told
my father. He'd be you know, he's protective, he gets,
you know, uptied about that stuff. And so I just
(15:50):
stole the phone booth one day and got it and
did the when we shot the album cover. Well, then
we thought, you know what, listen to the music video,
So then I stole again. He didn't know I sold
it either time. I don't know if he's still made,
and so we steal it and we take it down
this road. So we did shoot one, but sadly we
had a thunderstorm coming in. So I hope she's editing
(16:12):
the footage now and I hope.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
We have what we need, but I understand how that goes.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Yeah, so we we may or may not have a
music video is user to That just depends on if
we have the cuts we needed. But we were fighting
to rain and and so we'll see. But hopefully we
have a we have a fun Christmas song coming out.
We have a version of Here Comes Santa Claus, a
fun up tempo piano version of that coming out on
(16:39):
the twenty first of November, so soon we'll be into
that song and Christmas time. So if we if we
didn't get the cut of the music video, we probably
won't have it. We probably won't go back and redo
it just because we're onto the next But fingers cross, fingers.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Cross, fingers cross for y'all, I think that's cool about
the uh the phone booth story that is so funny. Well,
if it does come out, he will see the cameo.
He will see his phone booth making a cameo.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
U in the song. But but I didn't send in
the album cover. Uh, it's still name an MP three,
So unless he's been online snooping around.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
He hasn't seen it yet, right, right, one of these
things that's so funny. I love that.

I stopped and got your call. So good to talk

Speaker 8 (19:31):
Oh yes, good, me too. I'm always in the Christmas spirit.
I am so excited. It's my favorite holidays. So we're gonna,
of course talk about Frizel Christmas.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
Well, that's going to be good.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You know.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
I just kind of finished that, Uh just just kind
of got it finish a little while back.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But it just knocks me out. It's the first time
I've done a few few things before, you know.
Speaker 9 (19:53):
But but this thing is just this. There's some of this,
some of the songs that's all. This album just so great.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
My good friend Freddy hard It wrote some incredible songs
in his time and been a friend of mine. My
whole life is about and so uh he's he's on
this album and he's got two or three songs on
Earth and uh so I'm actually the one of my
I'm actually singing a duet with him, and he was
(20:25):
just so much fun.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
He was such a great guy.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Oh, yes, it's great to it. I hope everyone does
check it out. It was it has so many great classics.
But then, of course songs you know that maybe people
are not one hundred percent familiar with, but they'll be
able to get familiar with it with this album. So
I wanted to ask, was it difficult picking and choosing
what songs made it onto the album?
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Not not, not really, because I had Freddy Hart, you know,
I was doing another I produced his last album, matter
of fact, and so uh so I got a chance
to do these that he just rote him, and he
was writing him on the way to getting in and
then the studio just singing him. He was so talented,
(21:09):
one of my most talented people. But anyway, my brother
left the game Bay. Just to give you a little
little upone on this thing, clean, my brother and my
brother left. He met Freddie Hard before and started his
career for it.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Let my brother left.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
He met him in about fifty two or three and
met him, and he met him in Phoenix, Arizona, and
then and Freddy singing him a couple of about nineteen
fifty two or three, and and uh, and Lefty was
doing the show and uh in Phoenix, and Freddy found
him and and let your say, well singing a couple
of songs. So Letty's I mean, Freddy sing left You
(21:46):
a couple of songs, picked up Lefty's guitar and sang
the song and left You said, let's go to Let's
go to LA, and Freddy said, oh my god. He said,
if I got time to say goodbye to my wife, lets.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
Said, they gotta goda. So they got over there and
let you got in this first record deal. So let
me did his first album for him.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And years later, like not too long ago, Trady called
me and asked me to do his last week.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
So I did this left he did his first one,
I did his last one. What was there?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We did some of Christmas songs, but I did a
little duet thing with him. And it's just not that
I love the whole album, and so I hope you
like it too.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh we love it, We really really do.
Speaker 8 (22:31):
And I love that, like I said, you covered some
great classics as well, so I know a holly jolly
Christmas is on there.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
But what I love is what makes it special with
this song.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
In particular, it features your brother, Alan Frazzel, Jade Frizzell
and Cagney Frazzell.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
What was it like recording this one altogether?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
But that is the way you need to do it
right there, they are all They are all incredible people
to everyone of them. Chalented is incredible. So I had
a good time with him and uh and uh, we
just had to that's a great song. It's a great song.
I mean I've heard Merle Hagger do it not too
long ago. Oh no, his Christmas out. Oh yeah, but
(23:08):
it's just a great song. So you know, we had
a great time doing it because they're incredible on it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So hope you like it, Oh yes, and I hope
everyone goes and checks it out.
Speaker 8 (23:15):

favorite Christmas memory that you could.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
Well, I'll tell you, well, there's quite a few of them, actually.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
One of the best things that I think that I've
done that I've had the right to do, or the
wish to do, and that is to do a Christmas
album kids, you know, write some kids songs and for children,
and so I did. I wrote and a lot of
some of those songs are on that album and they'll
(25:34):
all this on this Christmas album. And I'm just so
proud of them, and I hope that everybody gets a
chance to hear some of them, uh, that they'll.
Speaker 9 (25:42):
That they'll like it.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Oh, they definitely will get the whole family, uh and
and enjoy it. And you know that's that's the big
part about Christmas is spending time with the family. So
you got to enjoy some great music, of course from
David Frizell, so please make sure.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You check that out.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
And I wanted also touch a bit on because your
prior album, which we also love here, was a tribute
to your brother Lefty Frizzelle.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh right, yes about that.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, goodness gracious, well, that is something that's that's unbelievable.
I found I found a great track with my brother
Lefty singing uh, always Late, and that was the one
that left you wrote back in fifty one, and there
was the number one song in nineteen fifty one. Uh.
(26:28):
But I found him singing it on the track, and
I took that track and I put I have put
him on it.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
You know, he's already on it.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
But I re recorded the song and then I put
David Frizzell on there singing with Lefki, and then I
put Alan Frizzell on there singing with David and left brother.
Three generations of Frazzel's singing always Late, and it just
gives me a goosebunch when I hear here it. And
(26:58):
then so there's that one on there was late and
then that's me and Merle Haggard.
Speaker 9 (27:03):
You remember Merle Haggard.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Imagine you're not knowing Merle Haggard. Merle Haggard's and we're
doing it. If you got the money, got the time
of do it, Me and Merle Haggard. Jeane Watson, Gene
Watson's on there and we're me and him are doing
a duet. And when I lefty songs called What's the
Name of the Joe Long Black Veil, And that's one
of the saddest songs I've ever heard. And I was
(27:31):
lefty when he got it. I was really left you
when he recorded it in nineteen fifty fifty nine, nineteen
fifty nine. I was with him when he recorded it.
And then me and Jeene Watson recorded a little while back,
and that's on there. And one song I mentioned Freddy
Hart to you already on the Christmas album thing, but
(27:52):
he wrote a song called left of course that has
to be.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
A part of this album.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah, I mean, come on, Freddy came out and recorded it.
It's one of my absolute favorite things. But there's so
many great things on this thing. And men, Alan did
I Never Go Around Mirrors one of the Lefty songs,
and that he wrote and recorded.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
It's just an incredible album. But what is one of
the main things about this one is that I that
I love is.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
The one I mentioned to you about always late, And
that's not me Lefty and Alan singing the same song together,
three brothers, three generations for els.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's incredible.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
It really gives me goosebumps even just talking about it,
let alone listening to it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh one other thing too. Joe Anderson one of the
great songwriters and in our whole life.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He wrote a song and we we co wrote a
song because Saginaw, Michigan, and uh so, Freddy came to
the studio.
Speaker 9 (28:56):
Him and I did a duet on it. So it's
me and Freddie Art saying I love it, Bill Anderson,
what did I say? What did I call it? I
call it yes, Bill and and he came out and
me and him did a duet on Saginaw, Michigan. And
it just absolutely gives me teals when I hear it.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
Oh, please everyone check it out. You have some great
albums out you really really do. I mean, if you

He was writing songs and he right like I Love
You a Thousand Ways, and and if you got mind
at the time, and and and just incredible songs and uh.
And we were living out of Snyder, Texas. I don't

a little town not too far from that called Kermit, Texas.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
And I was up there there. They were staying with
my uncle and I had a radio show. Uh And
and I was nine years old or ten, but.
Speaker 1 (31:28):

And my wife Joanne has got a has got a
