In this episode, I sit down with the legendary duo @BigandRich— and their story is just as wild as their songs.
From touring with @Lonestar right out of high school to accidentally becoming a duo after nonstop writing sessions, Big & Rich carved their own lane in country music. What started as a running joke — being called “Big & Rich” everywhere they went — became a name that would define a movement.
We dive into the stories behind hits like “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” — a song no one wanted them to release — and “8th of November,” inspired by a real-life vet’s story. They share how @Jason Aldean got his start with their songs, why country music needs humor, and how the best songs often come from the craziest real-life moments.
With advice on staying grounded, betting on your songs, and shaping the future of country music, this episode is packed with heart, laughs, and a whole lot of truth.
