Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello, my friends. Welcome, Welcome to love someone with Delilah.
I am loving this autumn weather. I am loving the
feelings of fall.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm behaving a.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Bit like those busy squirrels out in my yard, zigging
and zagging around my ranch, gathering and storing for the
yet unknown winter weather. Will it be mild, Will it
be wet? Will it be cold or snowy or icy?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The wooly bear caterpillars, the little orange black stripe caterpillars,
tell me that it's going to be a frigid, freezing,
snowy winter because the orange stripe was deeny diny and
the black stripes were very long. I don't know, but
as my early years of girl scouting training taught me,
(01:05):
I'll be prepared.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh yes I will.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I am still harvesting pumpkins and squash and onions from
my gardens. I'm dehydrating, I'm canning, I'm freeze drying. Probably
got enough put away to feed an army at this point.
Good thing too, because I have an army. My table's
big enough to see ten or twelve, and there's usually
(01:33):
ten or twelve sitting around the table every afternoon waiting
for dinner. It's a time of abundance, it's a time
of gratitude, and while it's not even Thanksgiving yet, it's
beginning to look on like Christmas, and today's guests have
much to do with that. After gifting fans the holiday
(01:57):
album On This Winter's Night back in twenty twelve, Grammy
winning trio Lady A are back for a new season
of joy with On This Winter's Night Fiem Doue. The
album marks the first full holiday set from Charles Kelly,
Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood in thirteen years, featuring a
(02:23):
cozy country mix of eleven sparkling singalongs. It's a great
mix of instant favorite originals. There's some beautiful originals, modern
take classics, timeless traditionals, my favorites, the ymns, the traditionals,
Wrapped in warm triple harmony, and decorated with a splash
(02:46):
of frosty fun, the project will add a little spice
to your holiday playlist.
Speaker 2 (02:53):

From there we have standards such as Winter Wonderland take
(03:39):
their place alongside the lush loneliness of George Michael's Last Christmas. Yet,
the jazzy What Christmas Means to Me bounds with anticipation
towards a season filled with joy. I am so fortunate

so much, but I always love talking to you guys
because you're always so much fun and so down to earth.
Welcome Lady A back to Love Someone with Delilah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We're doing great. We're so happy to get to chat
with you. And I know there's been a lot of
life live since the last time.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
A lot of life, a lot of life, So catch
me up with me in the studio. The three members
of Lady A, Charles, Hillary, Dave. You're all going to
kind of have to lean in and share the mic,
but tell me what's going on. We got new music,
We're going to talk about that a lot. But in life,
(06:37):
what's going on.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
We've had quite the baby boom in Lady A over
the last year. I had a boy a year ago,
my third Hillary had her fourth girl two months ago.
And Charles says, yeah, you're right. The latest model a
two week old.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah, he's fresh, two and a half weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh, congratulations. What's his name.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
His name's Archer. We're gonna call him little Archie.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I feel like it's cute for a kid, but then
when he grows and you know, he's like an old man.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It's like there's old Archie.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I have a son named Isaiah. He's older than you, guys,
but his nickname is Dad gave him this nickname when
he was in utero, when I was pregnant, and he
would sing Bobby Hebb's Sonny to my belly. And we
didn't have an ultrasound. That was back in the day.
We didn't even know it was a boy. But he
(07:28):
just loved that song and he said, if it's a girl,
I'll still call her Sonny. And his nickname was Sonny,
and he was Sonny his whole life. That's all anybody
ever called him, even at school. Then he decided to
become a police officer, and all of a sudden, between
(07:48):
that and marrying a woman who really loved the name Isaiah,
She's like, your mom gave you such a great name,
why don't we use it now? He's Isaiah to everybody,
except you know, those of us that refused to go
along with that agenda. So you got that song that's Sonny, Yeah,
go ahead, go ahead if you guys, if you guys
(08:08):
wanted to cover that for me, because yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
The only part I remember that song, Sonny I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Thank you for the love You've given me?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So lots of babies three, four, seven, eight, nine between you, No,
eight between the right yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, total of nine.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
At least one of each of our kids has to
be musically talented so they can carry on our legacy.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, and we've just got to keep working for the
unforseeable future because I've got four weddings to pay for
at some point.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, there is that, but first let's get the colleges.
That's going to set you back at least four albums.
So four for the colleges, another four for the weddings.
You guys are going to be singing for a long time, baby.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah. At least we got the catalogs to say.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know, you know how long I have been playing
your music and everybody else's starting with like Elton's I
think he was my first big interview, Wow since nineteen
seventy four.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Well I told you when we had our first interview.
I mean my mom, that was the station we listened to.
And so I mean I grew up I so Osborne
in eighty one, So I mean I literally have been
listening to your voice, I mean from the get go,
and that was some of the first you know, music
that I really got into was a lot of that,
you know, just just good feeling, you know, like Lonald
(09:36):
Ritchie all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know, Richard Marx all that stuff. You would play
that one America.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, yeah, such good stuff and good harmonies back then.
I'm glad you guys are keeping that gift of harmony
alive because a lot of music now is just one
person and they're so auto tuned you can't really tell
what their real voices, you know what auto tune has
come so far. I could be a good singer if
(10:03):
I wanted. That's scary because I have a two note range.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, you do have the most soothing speaking voice, so
you got that working for you.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
For years, I lied and told people I was a
vocal coach and that I was a great singer. I
would say these things on the air, see yeah, Barbara
Streiss and I used to coach her and.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Be like what.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Like, yeah, ah, I'm such a jerk on the air.
But anyway, so we are doing baby.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Dooty, Yes, yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
How do we juggle nine kids and your tour schedule.
Do we take them do they stay at home and
you come back to visit a lot?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Like, how do you do that?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well we so for me, well, really for all of us,
I think it's become easier to kind of us orbit
out and then come home. And my kid does stay
home for the most part. My youngest will be four
months when we go out on Christmas tour, so she
will have a bed and be capable of coming out
(11:05):
with us. But we'll kind of take it a little
bit out of a time. I wake up every day,
I'm like, this is this is a new day. With
four kids twelve and under. My oldest is twelve, I've
got twins bet are seven, and then my little Selah
is a little over two months, and so we'll just
kind of figure it out. And I know, when we
had the twins and I took them out on tour,
(11:27):
I really quickly realized, like, I can't be the best
mom and artist bandmate with all of them out. So
it became really clear that I would just be the
one to orbit in and out and that worked for
a little while, and now I think I'll bring my
little fourth baby with me a little bit of the time,
but we'll have to see if she if she likes it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Is she is she chill or is she high demand?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
She is so peaceful, I mean she truly is her
name like it Selah means to pause and reflect, and
she is so calm. She's definitely that quintessential fourth baby
so far where she's just rolling with the rest of
the family and really is is adjusting well. So I'm
(12:14):
hopeful that she'll be able to come along and it
be you know, pretty easy considering.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
But we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Charles.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Yeah, I mean, I think for us, I don't know,
you know, obviously, I think as a mom, it's a
lot more heavy lifting on Hillary's part, you know, to
be to have to do that and.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Then go up there and sing. But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
I mean, I think we've gotten a point in our
career now where we always put family first, and you know,
we're not out there doing one hundred shows a year
like we used to do, and so you know, we
pick and choose and be and I think we're really
intentional and purposeful and in what tours we do, and
like this Christmas tour feels like just such where we are,
you know, it's a very that's the time all the families,
(12:56):
I think we're at.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Our we're familying the best exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And so Chris was going to be fun. I mean,
it was really fun to work on that record. You know,
we worked on it in the summer. Of course. Uh,
you know, people don't realize that you make a Christmas
record in summer.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Did you bring decorations into the studio?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
A little bit of decorations, but because.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
You know, when it's one hundred degrees outside, it's hard
to be thinking about ho ho ho and hot chocolate.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
So true, So did you guys do that? Did you
like bring some jingle bells in? Did you hang some tenseil?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I got it from Christmas lights up? A few little
fake trees, you know, and those little tiny ones. But yeah,
you know, we did a Christmas record gosh thirteen fourteen
years ago, twenty twelve at yeah, twenty twelve, and then
so we added we did a whole nother you know,
kind of volume two of that that we worked on
this year on This Winener's Night Volume two, and yeah,
(13:47):
some classics that we hadn't gotten to that we wanted
to get to on the first record. And then we
wrote two originals, which is always hard to do. It's
tough to kind of nail a good Christmas song, so
we tried to at least give it a s and
we got two originals on there, and then some great
classics that we wanted to get to on the first one.
We just love we love Christmas time, love to you know,
(14:08):
kind of being able to play it. And this is
our first big tour for Christmas. It'll be a fun
kind of testing ground to go out and see if
this is something we want to do every year.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I think that was the main The main inspiration too,
is we knew that we want to do a Christmas
tour and then we were like, okay, well we got
one record, so I have to add a bunch of
songs for listen, if we're going to work up a
bunch of you know, Christmas songs that weren't on that
Christmas record, we might as well put out another one.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
And so it's been fun.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Man, I mean I think, uh, there's not there's not
you know, like like Dave said to you, it's like,
you know, we we we definitely love you know, giving
a shot at writing some uh some Christmas songs. But
people I think want to hear what they know for
the most part, so we're you know, a percent of
this record is songs that people know, but trying to
do them in a little bit of the different twists
I think. I think, like my favorite song that we
(14:54):
did was a version of Last Christmas. You know that's
normally really tempo, and we actually.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Kind of slowed it down a little bit, little jazzy.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yeah, Hilary's voice just absolutely shines on that one.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You Yeah, I listened to the whole thing last night
and my kids come flocking around like like baby birds.
They listened to two of your originals. Spirit of Christmas,
wouldn't be Christmas, wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Christmas, wouldn't be Christmas?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
And why we sing the Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Spirit of Christmas was actually not a really well known
Ray Charles cover. If you ever watch you know, Christmas
Vacation when he goes up into the attic and he's watching.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
The old reels, that's the song.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
It's this Ray Charles version that like, for some reason,
not many people play it, and it's so good.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
So we want to do a version of that as well.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So can we talk about we sing Noel because that
one really really touched my heart.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We wrote that with our producer Nathan Chapman, and good
friend and his wife, Stephanie Chapman, and it was the
five of us.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
And I was actually.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Pregnant with my daughter when we wrote it, which for
me personally just made it even more meaningful because.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Did you know you were going to name her Cela
when you were caring?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I didn't, No, that was before we knew her name,
but we I just remember getting so emotional as we
were writing it, and just as I've become a mother,
you know, just thinking about Mary and this incredible pivotal
part of this miracle story that she plays, and just
(16:45):
thinking about you know, that last line going into the chorus,
attired mother whispers he is born.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
You know, it's like thinking.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
About her in that moment of labor and that relief
of having him here, and.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
How tired you are, and how you know I just.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Came and imagine the myriad of emotions she was feeling.
And so it just was a really special, special songwriting experience.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
And then when we went in.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
To record it, we really just felt like with the
production and Dave, you can really speak to this too.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
It just really was screaming for a.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Mandolin and there's no arguably better mandolin player than Ricky Skaggs,
and so we called our friend and he said yes.
And when he comes into the studio to play mandolin,
you might as well put a microphone in front of
him because his harmonies in his voice is just, you know,
a national treasure.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
And I think we were just like, hey, Ricky, can
you just throw harmony on?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
And so he is really the first Tea and Chris
Tomlin are the first collaborations we've ever had on a
Christmas record. So having them a part of this, and
Ricky specifically for this song was really special.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, it is beautiful, thank you man.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I try so hard every year to get further and
further away from the commercial aspects of Christmas. And it's
hard because you know, the kids and they want things
and they want you know, the Santa blah blah blah,
and I'm like, let's focus on the manger. Let's focus
on the manger.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I really, I try so hard.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And that song I'm going to be playing that here
at home every day.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Thank you, oh so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Well, and as you listen to the lyrics too, it
really we did. We did have children, our children in
mind as we were writing this the song, just because
you know, when you think about the story, it just
it really to be able to explain it, to teach
it to our children. And I know I learn and
remember so much through melody and learning songs, and so
(18:57):
it really gets into your heart, it seeps in to
your soul. And we've even talked about performing it at
some point and maybe even having a little children's schoir
that come along with us, just because it does feel
so so childlike in a way of learning and remembering
the story of why we sing Noel and so that
means a lot. That's that's something that you want to
(19:20):
do for your children too, because we want them to
get it.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
We want them to capture the real miracle.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That song feels like like it opens your heart to
that miracle.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You guys nailed it. It's just beautiful.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Thanks so loud, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So you're going to be touring in December sharing all
this goodness with us, and then you're going to finish
up at the Rymen.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Yeah, we start in Atlanta and then we do shows
throughout whatever. I guess we're doing twelve shows and then
we do three nights at the Rymen and it's going
to be fun. I mean, we've always wanted to do this.
This is kind of like to see what it feels like,
you know. I think too with this year, you know,
we were kind of all on babyland, so we didn't
have a big summer tour obviously.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
And I think we've got the energy to do it.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
But it is going to be interesting because if this
is something we want to do every year, it will
be really interesting to like do a big summer tour
and then be like, oh my gosh, now we got
to you know, do something in December. But I do
think I hope it becomes like a family tradition. We
actually got to hang a little bit with Vince Gill
and I was asking him some questions about the Christmas
tour and he said, it just becomes this cool just
(20:31):
tradition that we're all, you know, that the whole.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Family, you know, his extended family.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Is a part of you know, several nights and it's
just it's just something that.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Michael Amy, Jordan Smith, they became a part of the
fiber of our family. And straight No Chaser and Mannheim Steamroller.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
You know, there's there's those.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Iconic people that you look forward to every holiday season
that Christmas feels more complete and that you guys did that,
it would be awesome.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
We would love it. We want to We want to
take a little Michael.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Bubley page out of his book.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh well, I think you are on the right track,
just doing fabulous things. Uh, if you were on tour
this summer, I was going to say you would be
touring the Baby Aisle at Tarja.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, we're there. We're doing that a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know, you could like set up a little stage
and you know, two or three songs as you're picking
out which diapers because they outgrow them before you get
through the box.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I do.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I find myself just on the front porch serenading those
that deliver those things for me because I can't seem
to get myself to target.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So tell me about Lady Aid and how people can
can help out with that.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Nice Not sure. This is an organization we started. Gosh,
how many years has it been? Now that's the game
we play now. Thirteen years ago we started this organization
and just wanted to find a way to you know,
be able to give back every year to organizations that
meant a lot to us, and specifically stuff around children,
(22:19):
around kids.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Before we had children.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
This is before we had kids, ironically, and now it
hits home even more. I mean we give, you know,
a portion of all of our ticket sales we set
aside and give each year to places like Saint Jude
Children's Hospital in Memphis, Vanderbuilt Children's Hospital, a couple organizations
internationally as well, And yeah, Lady Aid is the website
you can go to, and it's just something that's near
(22:44):
and dear to our heart. We always want to use
this platform for for good and to make an impact,
and we try to have boots on the ground as
well and visit these organizations and do as much as
we can and roll up our sleeves and participate as well.
But yeah, it's something that means a lot to us.
I think it's very in line with us touring around
Christmas and family and helping kids that are in need.
(23:06):
And it's something that that we love getting to do
and take a portion of every dollary make to do it.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
And I think it's something that we saw and learned
from an early stage too in our career as country artist.
You know, we would I remember they did this big
you know visit with a bunch of artists to Saint
Jude and it was you know, you got to see
these really you know, established artists that did this, and
it was like, man, this is such a cool part
of what this. I think country music is kind of
(23:35):
you know, turning into just it. There's just a lot
of charity going going around with all these different artists,
you know, and I think you know, we hoped to actually,
you know too, with a lot of things that we're doing,
you know, show some of the newer artists that this
is a part of you know, to those you know,
what is it.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Much as given, much as expected? And I think that's
where we.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Are, amen.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And now we've got you know, nine little minds and
hearts looking at us as mom and dad, you know,
to see how we are managing and carrying this platform
that we've been given in this mantle that we have.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
And one thing you know, we try in.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Our house to say to our girls is like I've
personally never regretted leading with generosity, and I think if
we can teach that, instill that in our children and
embody that even on stage, you know, with this Christmas tour,
all twelve shows will be partnering with a local organization
and highlighting them each night, and so it'll be really
(24:36):
special to be able to really raise awareness for an
important organization in that area and then be able to
have that spirit of giving in that way, not just
about receiving gifts, but giving them and really showing organizations
that really need our support and these individuals that are
(24:56):
benefiting from that organization.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
So we're excited.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's really fun and it's honestly some of the most
fun I'll speak for myself that happens with this career
that we've been given that God has blessed us with
is the way that we get to do that and
do what we can to help.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
What a great chat we're having with Lady A.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
They're bringing some extra sparkles, some extra tensil.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
To our holidays this year.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I'm so glad to get to share all that Mercy
Ships is doing in the world with you. They travel
to medical deserts, providing free life changing surgeries.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
To people in need.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Led by an all volunteer crew. They've been putting their
faith into action for almost fifty years. Mercy Ships is
all about impact. They performed nearly one hundred and twenty
thousand free surgeries to date and touched more than two
million lives. But more than the numbers, it's about dreams
(25:59):
restored and lives renewed. It's about loving someone. You can
be a part of this amazing organization. When you support Mercyships,
you experience the joy and transformation a mother seeing her
child for the first time, a child finally able to
(26:20):
run and play and dream and just.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Be a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:25):

I can't wait to spend the holiday season with you.
(29:24):
Do me a favor take some time out of your
busy holiday schedule to slow down and love someone
Hello, my friends. Welcome, Welcome to love someone with Delilah.
I am loving this autumn weather. I am loving the
feelings of fall.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm behaving a.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Bit like those busy squirrels out in my yard, zigging
and zagging around my ranch, gathering and storing for the
yet unknown winter weather. Will it be mild, Will it
be wet? Will it be cold or snowy or icy?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The wooly bear caterpillars, the little orange black stripe caterpillars,
tell me that it's going to be a frigid, freezing,
snowy winter because the orange stripe was deeny diny and
the black stripes were very long. I don't know, but
as my early years of girl scouting training taught me,
(01:05):
I'll be prepared.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh yes I will.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I am still harvesting pumpkins and squash and onions from
my gardens. I'm dehydrating, I'm canning, I'm freeze drying. Probably
got enough put away to feed an army at this point.
Good thing too, because I have an army. My table's
big enough to see ten or twelve, and there's usually
(01:33):
ten or twelve sitting around the table every afternoon waiting
for dinner. It's a time of abundance, it's a time
of gratitude, and while it's not even Thanksgiving yet, it's
beginning to look on like Christmas, and today's guests have
much to do with that. After gifting fans the holiday
(01:57):
album On This Winter's Night back in twenty twelve, Grammy
winning trio Lady A are back for a new season
of joy with On This Winter's Night Fiem Doue. The
album marks the first full holiday set from Charles Kelly,
Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood in thirteen years, featuring a

cozy country mix of eleven sparkling singalongs. It's a great
mix of instant favorite originals. There's some beautiful originals, modern
take classics, timeless traditionals, my favorites, the ymns, the traditionals,
Wrapped in warm triple harmony, and decorated with a splash
(02:46):
of frosty fun, the project will add a little spice

their place alongside the lush loneliness of George Michael's Last Christmas. Yet,
the jazzy What Christmas Means to Me bounds with anticipation
towards a season filled with joy. I am so fortunate

because you're always so much fun and so down to earth.
Welcome Lady A back to Love Someone with Delilah.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
How are you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
We're doing great. We're so happy to get to chat
with you. And I know there's been a lot of
life live since the last time.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
A lot of life, a lot of life, So catch
me up with me in the studio. The three members
of Lady A, Charles, Hillary, Dave. You're all going to
kind of have to lean in and share the mic,
but tell me what's going on. We got new music,
We're going to talk about that a lot. But in life,
(06:37):
what's going on.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
We've had quite the baby boom in Lady A over
the last year. I had a boy a year ago,
my third Hillary had her fourth girl two months ago.
And Charles says, yeah, you're right. The latest model a
two week old.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Yeah, he's fresh, two and a half weeks.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh, congratulations. What's his name.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
His name's Archer. We're gonna call him little Archie.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I feel like it's cute for a kid, but then
when he grows and you know, he's like an old man.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It's like there's old Archie.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I have a son named Isaiah. He's older than you, guys,
but his nickname is Dad gave him this nickname when
he was in utero, when I was pregnant, and he
would sing Bobby Hebb's Sonny to my belly. And we
didn't have an ultrasound. That was back in the day.
We didn't even know it was a boy. But he
(07:28):
just loved that song and he said, if it's a girl,
I'll still call her Sonny. And his nickname was Sonny,
and he was Sonny his whole life. That's all anybody
ever called him, even at school. Then he decided to
become a police officer, and all of a sudden, between
(07:48):
that and marrying a woman who really loved the name Isaiah,
She's like, your mom gave you such a great name,
why don't we use it now? He's Isaiah to everybody,
except you know, those of us that refused to go
along with that agenda. So you got that song that's Sonny, Yeah,
go ahead, go ahead if you guys, if you guys
(08:08):
wanted to cover that for me, because yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
The only part I remember that song, Sonny I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Thank you for the love You've given me?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So lots of babies three, four, seven, eight, nine between you, No,
eight between the right yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, total of nine.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
At least one of each of our kids has to
be musically talented so they can carry on our legacy.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, and we've just got to keep working for the
unforseeable future because I've got four weddings to pay for
at some point.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, there is that, but first let's get the colleges.
That's going to set you back at least four albums.
So four for the colleges, another four for the weddings.
You guys are going to be singing for a long time, baby.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Yeah. At least we got the catalogs to say.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know, you know how long I have been playing
your music and everybody else's starting with like Elton's I
think he was my first big interview, Wow since nineteen
seventy four.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Well I told you when we had our first interview.
I mean my mom, that was the station we listened to.
And so I mean I grew up I so Osborne
in eighty one, So I mean I literally have been
listening to your voice, I mean from the get go,
and that was some of the first you know, music
that I really got into was a lot of that,
you know, just just good feeling, you know, like Lonald
(09:36):
Ritchie all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You know, Richard Marx all that stuff. You would play
that one America.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, yeah, such good stuff and good harmonies back then.
I'm glad you guys are keeping that gift of harmony
alive because a lot of music now is just one
person and they're so auto tuned you can't really tell
what their real voices, you know what auto tune has
come so far. I could be a good singer if
(10:03):
I wanted. That's scary because I have a two note range.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, you do have the most soothing speaking voice, so
you got that working for you.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
For years, I lied and told people I was a
vocal coach and that I was a great singer. I
would say these things on the air, see yeah, Barbara
Streiss and I used to coach her and.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Be like what.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Like, yeah, ah, I'm such a jerk on the air.
But anyway, so we are doing baby.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Dooty, Yes, yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
How do we juggle nine kids and your tour schedule.
Do we take them do they stay at home and
you come back to visit a lot?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Like, how do you do that?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well we so for me, well, really for all of us,
I think it's become easier to kind of us orbit
out and then come home. And my kid does stay
home for the most part. My youngest will be four
months when we go out on Christmas tour, so she
will have a bed and be capable of coming out
(11:05):
with us. But we'll kind of take it a little
bit out of a time. I wake up every day,
I'm like, this is this is a new day. With
four kids twelve and under. My oldest is twelve, I've
got twins bet are seven, and then my little Selah
is a little over two months, and so we'll just
kind of figure it out. And I know, when we
had the twins and I took them out on tour,
(11:27):
I really quickly realized, like, I can't be the best
mom and artist bandmate with all of them out. So
it became really clear that I would just be the
one to orbit in and out and that worked for
a little while, and now I think I'll bring my
little fourth baby with me a little bit of the time,
but we'll have to see if she if she likes it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Is she is she chill or is she high demand?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
She is so peaceful, I mean she truly is her
name like it Selah means to pause and reflect, and
she is so calm. She's definitely that quintessential fourth baby
so far where she's just rolling with the rest of
the family and really is is adjusting well. So I'm
(12:14):
hopeful that she'll be able to come along and it
be you know, pretty easy considering.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
But we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Charles.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Yeah, I mean, I think for us, I don't know,
you know, obviously, I think as a mom, it's a
lot more heavy lifting on Hillary's part, you know, to
be to have to do that and.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Then go up there and sing. But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
I mean, I think we've gotten a point in our
career now where we always put family first, and you know,
we're not out there doing one hundred shows a year
like we used to do, and so you know, we
pick and choose and be and I think we're really
intentional and purposeful and in what tours we do, and
like this Christmas tour feels like just such where we are,
you know, it's a very that's the time all the families,
(12:56):
I think we're at.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Our we're familying the best exactly.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And so Chris was going to be fun. I mean,
it was really fun to work on that record. You know,
we worked on it in the summer. Of course. Uh,
you know, people don't realize that you make a Christmas
record in summer.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Did you bring decorations into the studio?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
A little bit of decorations, but because.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
You know, when it's one hundred degrees outside, it's hard
to be thinking about ho ho ho and hot chocolate.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
So true, So did you guys do that? Did you
like bring some jingle bells in? Did you hang some tenseil?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I got it from Christmas lights up? A few little
fake trees, you know, and those little tiny ones. But yeah,
you know, we did a Christmas record gosh thirteen fourteen
years ago, twenty twelve at yeah, twenty twelve, and then
so we added we did a whole nother you know,
kind of volume two of that that we worked on
this year on This Winener's Night Volume two, and yeah,
(13:47):
some classics that we hadn't gotten to that we wanted
to get to on the first record. And then we
wrote two originals, which is always hard to do. It's
tough to kind of nail a good Christmas song, so
we tried to at least give it a s and
we got two originals on there, and then some great
classics that we wanted to get to on the first one.
We just love we love Christmas time, love to you know,
(14:08):
kind of being able to play it. And this is
our first big tour for Christmas. It'll be a fun
kind of testing ground to go out and see if
this is something we want to do every year.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I think that was the main The main inspiration too,
is we knew that we want to do a Christmas
tour and then we were like, okay, well we got
one record, so I have to add a bunch of
songs for listen, if we're going to work up a
bunch of you know, Christmas songs that weren't on that
Christmas record, we might as well put out another one.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
And so it's been fun.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Man, I mean I think, uh, there's not there's not
you know, like like Dave said to you, it's like,
you know, we we we definitely love you know, giving
a shot at writing some uh some Christmas songs. But
people I think want to hear what they know for
the most part, so we're you know, a percent of
this record is songs that people know, but trying to
do them in a little bit of the different twists
I think. I think, like my favorite song that we
(14:54):
did was a version of Last Christmas. You know that's
normally really tempo, and we actually.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Kind of slowed it down a little bit, little jazzy.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Yeah, Hilary's voice just absolutely shines on that one.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You Yeah, I listened to the whole thing last night
and my kids come flocking around like like baby birds.
They listened to two of your originals. Spirit of Christmas,
wouldn't be Christmas, wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Christmas, wouldn't be Christmas?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
And why we sing the Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Spirit of Christmas was actually not a really well known
Ray Charles cover. If you ever watch you know, Christmas
Vacation when he goes up into the attic and he's watching.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
The old reels, that's the song.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
It's this Ray Charles version that like, for some reason,
not many people play it, and it's so good.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
So we want to do a version of that as well.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So can we talk about we sing Noel because that
one really really touched my heart.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We wrote that with our producer Nathan Chapman, and good
friend and his wife, Stephanie Chapman, and it was the
five of us.
Speaker 7 (16:13):
And I was actually.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Pregnant with my daughter when we wrote it, which for
me personally just made it even more meaningful because.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Did you know you were going to name her Cela
when you were caring?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I didn't, No, that was before we knew her name,
but we I just remember getting so emotional as we
were writing it, and just as I've become a mother,
you know, just thinking about Mary and this incredible pivotal
part of this miracle story that she plays, and just
(16:45):
thinking about you know, that last line going into the chorus,
attired mother whispers he is born.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
You know, it's like thinking.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
About her in that moment of labor and that relief
of having him here, and.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
How tired you are, and how you know I just.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Came and imagine the myriad of emotions she was feeling.
And so it just was a really special, special songwriting experience.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
And then when we went in.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
To record it, we really just felt like with the
production and Dave, you can really speak to this too.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
It just really was screaming for a.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Mandolin and there's no arguably better mandolin player than Ricky Skaggs,
and so we called our friend and he said yes.
And when he comes into the studio to play mandolin,
you might as well put a microphone in front of
him because his harmonies in his voice is just, you know,
a national treasure.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
And I think we were just like, hey, Ricky, can
you just throw harmony on?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
And so he is really the first Tea and Chris
Tomlin are the first collaborations we've ever had on a
Christmas record. So having them a part of this, and
Ricky specifically for this song was really special.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well, it is beautiful, thank you man.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I try so hard every year to get further and
further away from the commercial aspects of Christmas. And it's
hard because you know, the kids and they want things
and they want you know, the Santa blah blah blah,
and I'm like, let's focus on the manger. Let's focus
on the manger.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I really, I try so hard.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
And that song I'm going to be playing that here
at home every day.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Thank you, oh so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Well, and as you listen to the lyrics too, it
really we did. We did have children, our children in
mind as we were writing this the song, just because
you know, when you think about the story, it just
it really to be able to explain it, to teach
it to our children. And I know I learn and
remember so much through melody and learning songs, and so
(18:57):
it really gets into your heart, it seeps in to
your soul. And we've even talked about performing it at
some point and maybe even having a little children's schoir
that come along with us, just because it does feel
so so childlike in a way of learning and remembering
the story of why we sing Noel and so that
means a lot. That's that's something that you want to
(19:20):
do for your children too, because we want them to
get it.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
We want them to capture the real miracle.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
That song feels like like it opens your heart to
that miracle.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You guys nailed it. It's just beautiful.
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Thanks so loud, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So you're going to be touring in December sharing all
this goodness with us, and then you're going to finish
up at the Rymen.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Yeah, we start in Atlanta and then we do shows
throughout whatever. I guess we're doing twelve shows and then
we do three nights at the Rymen and it's going
to be fun. I mean, we've always wanted to do this.
This is kind of like to see what it feels like,
you know. I think too with this year, you know,
we were kind of all on babyland, so we didn't
have a big summer tour obviously.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
And I think we've got the energy to do it.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
But it is going to be interesting because if this
is something we want to do every year, it will
be really interesting to like do a big summer tour
and then be like, oh my gosh, now we got
to you know, do something in December. But I do
think I hope it becomes like a family tradition. We
actually got to hang a little bit with Vince Gill
and I was asking him some questions about the Christmas
tour and he said, it just becomes this cool just
(20:31):
tradition that we're all, you know, that the whole.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Family, you know, his extended family.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Is a part of you know, several nights and it's
just it's just something that.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Michael Amy, Jordan Smith, they became a part of the
fiber of our family. And straight No Chaser and Mannheim Steamroller.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
You know, there's there's those.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Iconic people that you look forward to every holiday season
that Christmas feels more complete and that you guys did that,
it would be awesome.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
We would love it. We want to We want to
take a little Michael.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Bubley page out of his book.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh well, I think you are on the right track,
just doing fabulous things. Uh, if you were on tour
this summer, I was going to say you would be
touring the Baby Aisle at Tarja.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, we're there. We're doing that a lot.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know, you could like set up a little stage
and you know, two or three songs as you're picking
out which diapers because they outgrow them before you get
through the box.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
I do.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I find myself just on the front porch serenading those
that deliver those things for me because I can't seem
to get myself to target.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So tell me about Lady Aid and how people can
can help out with that.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Nice Not sure. This is an organization we started. Gosh,
how many years has it been? Now that's the game
we play now. Thirteen years ago we started this organization
and just wanted to find a way to you know,
be able to give back every year to organizations that
meant a lot to us, and specifically stuff around children,
(22:19):
around kids.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Before we had children.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
This is before we had kids, ironically, and now it
hits home even more. I mean we give, you know,
a portion of all of our ticket sales we set
aside and give each year to places like Saint Jude
Children's Hospital in Memphis, Vanderbuilt Children's Hospital, a couple organizations
internationally as well, And yeah, Lady Aid is the website
you can go to, and it's just something that's near
(22:44):
and dear to our heart. We always want to use
this platform for for good and to make an impact,
and we try to have boots on the ground as
well and visit these organizations and do as much as
we can and roll up our sleeves and participate as well.
But yeah, it's something that means a lot to us.
I think it's very in line with us touring around
Christmas and family and helping kids that are in need.
(23:06):
And it's something that that we love getting to do
and take a portion of every dollary make to do it.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
And I think it's something that we saw and learned
from an early stage too in our career as country artist.
You know, we would I remember they did this big
you know visit with a bunch of artists to Saint
Jude and it was you know, you got to see
these really you know, established artists that did this, and
it was like, man, this is such a cool part
of what this. I think country music is kind of
(23:35):
you know, turning into just it. There's just a lot
of charity going going around with all these different artists,
you know, and I think you know, we hoped to actually,
you know too, with a lot of things that we're doing,
you know, show some of the newer artists that this
is a part of you know, to those you know,
what is it.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Much as given, much as expected? And I think that's
where we.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Are, amen.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And now we've got you know, nine little minds and
hearts looking at us as mom and dad, you know,
to see how we are managing and carrying this platform
that we've been given in this mantle that we have.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
And one thing you know, we try in.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Our house to say to our girls is like I've
personally never regretted leading with generosity, and I think if
we can teach that, instill that in our children and
embody that even on stage, you know, with this Christmas tour,
all twelve shows will be partnering with a local organization
and highlighting them each night, and so it'll be really
(24:36):
special to be able to really raise awareness for an
important organization in that area and then be able to
have that spirit of giving in that way, not just
about receiving gifts, but giving them and really showing organizations
that really need our support and these individuals that are
(24:56):
benefiting from that organization.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
So we're excited.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
It's really fun and it's honestly some of the most
fun I'll speak for myself that happens with this career
that we've been given that God has blessed us with
is the way that we get to do that and
do what we can to help.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
What a great chat we're having with Lady A.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
They're bringing some extra sparkles, some extra tensil.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
To our holidays this year.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I'm so glad to get to share all that Mercy
Ships is doing in the world with you. They travel
to medical deserts, providing free life changing surgeries.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
To people in need.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Led by an all volunteer crew. They've been putting their
faith into action for almost fifty years. Mercy Ships is
all about impact. They performed nearly one hundred and twenty
thousand free surgeries to date and touched more than two
million lives. But more than the numbers, it's about dreams
(25:59):
restored and lives renewed. It's about loving someone. You can
be a part of this amazing organization. When you support Mercyships,
you experience the joy and transformation a mother seeing her
child for the first time, a child finally able to
(26:20):
run and play and dream and just.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Be a kid.
Speaker 1 (26:25):

other ways you can get involved. That's mercyships dot org.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
