Speaker 1 (00:07):
So you're going to be here at the Cowtown Events
Center Friday, October seventeenth at six pm with opener Braxton Keith. Now,
you are a huge Texas independent artist with over two
decades of music under your belt. You don't follow trends,
you don't follow fads. I love that about you. I
love I love the fact that your music is very
danceable and you've you've been to all Passo before, so
(00:28):
welcome back. And I wanted to first say that. Lisa
with the Borderline Country Dancers wanted to say, Hi, I
know you've been here to Ricky Dez. Yes, awesome And
when was when was the last time you were in
al Paso?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Tell Lisa that I said him. I'm always in El Paso.
I probably been a little less little less than a
year ago.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, Hi, I love I love playing El Paso.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
So you know, we've been coming to El Paso for
a long, long, long time.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So El Paso is always so good to me.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yes, some of the some of the best country fans
are in El Paso.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Well, I'll passle Loves. I'll passle. First of all, let
me tell you we love country music. We're full of
loo ghettos. We love our boots, we love our tequila,
we love our Mexican food. And my listeners anyway love
country music. And I want to talk a little bit
about you possibly and it being maybe a coincidence, but
you breaking the seal for the twenty plus track list.
You know, now you got artists like Morgan Waan everything
(01:21):
doing stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, what do you have
to say towards that?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I mean, I don't know if I inspired anybody, but
a lot of people thought it was a bad idea.
But I just you know, back then, I just wanted
to give the fans a lot. Yeah. I just wanted
to give them something, an album that they could really
live with.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
A lot of times if I get an album and
it's only got ten songs, you know, it's like, after
I've listened to it and afternoon, I'm like, man, I
wish there was more. Yeah, And you know, I don't
want to sacrifice quality with quantity, but if you can
have a lot of great songs, I mean, I just
think it lives, it makes the album live longer.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, I agree, And I just read an article that
now you're gonna have a forty track double album Horse
named Texas. It's coming out next year. In March. I
listened to your single Pontiac, So tell me, mama about
ten times already today. Oh they all right. That's the
whole reason why you don't do just ten songs, right,
because I would have already heard the whole album. But
I really love this song. I mean, you know, there's
(02:20):
so only so much you can write about now, right,
But I've never heard a song written from this perspective.
So can you kind of tell my listening audience what
this song is because it's your newest single, Pontiac.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
So to me, mama, Well, you know it's Pontiac's just
a fun song, but it's got a pretty intense story.
And you know, growing up, if I did something, my
mom would be like, you are just like your father,
you know, And I think so many of us, so
many of us guys have been accused of being just
like our dads.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And you know in this in the song.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It's like I really messed up big time with my girl,
and it's me. You know, it's me going back and
talking to my mom, getting advice from her, but asking her,
you know, like.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Like you turned around, So what made you turn?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah? What did that do? Yeah? What did dad?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Do?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You know?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
And that's just you know, my mom and dad are wonderful.
But I do remember, and I do remember an argument
that they had a long, long time ago when I
was little, and I remember Mom leaving the house and
my bedroom was in the garage. We turned the garage,
the little single car garage into my bedroom, and I
remember my mom got in the car and she started
(03:28):
it up. I remember the headlights shining into my room,
and I remember mom. I remember Mom leaving and it
really bothered me and I was little. But then I remember,
you know, later, it could have been thirty minutes later.
I don't know how long she was gone. She probably
just went to get her a diet coke somewhere right
to cool off, to cool off, But I remember that
(03:49):
making I remember her coming back to the house, and
you know, I do remember Mom telling me she said,
right now, I do not like your daddy. But then
she said, but you know I always love him.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh that's crazy, and you know, yeah, but you know.
That was that was great.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That was a great thing for her to say, because
there could be people that you love but at the
moment you kind of don't like them.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh, you know. And it's totally different, but love, but
love's bigger, you know, so love wins.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So you know, I wrote this song, you know, and
it's in the song, I kind of give my dad
a bad rap. But that's just us dads. We always
get bad raps. Oh, you know, that's just part of it.
Dad's I'm going to give my mama a bad rap.
That's my mama.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So but it's a fun song and I think it's
going to do really well.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Oh I love it. And in the song, I mean,
I can see why some people might think that it
would give dad a bad rap, but honestly, she came
back right, So she came back. You can't be all
that bad.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, he did something right exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You're like, what is that thing that's gonna turn her
car around?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, Mama, help me out, Mama. I love that.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
And so let's go back a little further to one
of my all time favorite songs, just because I love dance.
Once I found line dancing and two stepping out of
my whole new world open for me. But freight train
one of my absolute favorites. So did you intend for
that to end up as a line dance or was
that just, you know, something that happened.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It's just something that happened. I'm not a very good dancer.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Do you know the dance singles of it?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I've seen it. I don't know it.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, no, but I don't, but it makes me happy
to see it. You know, I don't know where the
dance originated, but I do know this that I think
it was in twenty sixteen. I got a video of
all these people in Spain doing this line dance and
(05:46):
it was yeah it was freight train.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah. So it's for me.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
It's just been a really neat you know, it's just
been a really neat thing to see. I mean, I'm
honored and flattered and I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You know what you should do is you know there's
all these different in his book of World records that
you can break and you can even make up your own.
You should be like, at one of your shows, Okay,
we're all gonna do the freight train and we're gonna
make a guineas Book of World Record for the most
people to do the freight train at a concert.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh yeah, I remember one time.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We were actually in Italy and I'm telling you, I
bet you there were three thousand line dancers. It was
actually sub top of line dancing competition competition thing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh cool, I've judged one of those. I love line dances.
It's so much fun. So it's gonna be some dancing
at your concert for sure. Have you heard a new
form of country called DC?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
No, okay, So basically it's a form of DC. It's
like they mixed different country songs into.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Like house music. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Speaking of dancing,
that's so fun.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I have a weird question for you. Have you ever
googled yourself?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yes, I have googled myself, so I did.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I was doing that and then I got the idea
because I was looking up ways to roast Luke Holmbs.
Don't ask long story anyway, I'm like, okay, I have
this interview. It was for a bit. I have this
interview coming up with Aaron Watson, and I asked AI
to produce me some roasts and they're actually not roasts. Okay,
they're not actually not bad. So you want me to
read them to you, I got I got two of
(07:13):
them for you, all right. Why did Aaron Watson become
a country singer instead of a GPS Oh my gosh,
because even though he's great at taking people on a journey,
his directions would probably just be turn left at the
honky tonk and keep going until you feel something in
your heart? Can you believe that? Is that spot on?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's hilarious, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well, I'm directionally challenged, so you don't take directions.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Don't don't take directions from me.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm like, don't use these fancy words like east and west.
Say turn right at the McDonald's, turn left at the RBS.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's how I work, exactly fact.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And here's here's one more. Aaron Watson's music is so
emotionally intense therapists use his songs as a shortcut. Why
waste an hour of sessions when you can just listen
to one of his albums and cry it all out?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
What did you think of that? That was ai? That's well,
I hope, I hope. I'm not that sad.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
No, not at all, not.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
At all, but no, that's funny that. Yeah, that AI
kind of creached me out.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, it is, especially the ones that talk to you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, that's pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, people having like relationships with their AI. But that's
a whole other conversation. All right, Eric, I'm gonna do
a few more things with you, and then I actually
have my daughter here. She's standing my husband. They want
to ask you a question. My husband's going to tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
A bad book.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But before that, I'm gonna have a little fun. So
choose a number from one to five, five five, all right?
This is a would you rather?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So there's five questions here and you're just gonna answer
would you rather?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Number one? Would you rather be on Dancing with the
Stars or masked singer?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Are you from a masked singer?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, everyone chooses mass singer. No one wants to dance.
I would totally be on Dancing with the Stars, Oh
my god? All right? Number two? Would you rather be
a judge on American Idol or coach on The Voice?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Gosh, I don't like either of those shows. I would
probably be to fire. Yeah, I probably would just quit.
I would quit, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I feel you'd rather be like Unlost or something exactly.
Oh nice, all right? Okay. Number three, superpower invisibility or super.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Strength invisibility would be fun.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Especially if you like hunting. I got that from another interview.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, yes, smart invisibility. All right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Number four, I got two more if you had to.
Would you rather fall on stage or forget the lyrics?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Forget the lyrics, forget.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The Yeah yeah, I think fall on stage would be
a little bit more intense. And number five, would you
rather build a classic muscle car or buy a brand
new sports car?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I like classic.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I like classic cars, but man, the new cars today
they are just I'm gonna have to go with a
new car.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
A new one, okay, nice? Do you know which one?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
There's some I would oh for me if it was
a new one. If it was a classic, for me,
it would be a sixty nine or seventy cheval murdered out.
If it was a one, would be an Audio or eight,
an Audio R eight. But the one from Iron Man.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh you know exactly what you want? That a girl?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, Oh my gosh, I've seen that car in person.
I fell in love.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That sounds like, Yeah, those are slick? All right?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So I got a couple more questions for you. One
is for my ten year old, and then my husband's
going to give you a dad joke. But I'm going
to set the briefis for this question. So on your
social media, there's a petition going around. First of all right,
for George Straight to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Now Bad Bunny's performing. You suggested that they should do
a duet to Bad Bunny song called Mia. By the way,
(10:34):
that means my, You're like, I got that, I got
all the comments Mia, and for George Straight to sing
the Drake part. So, Mama, what question did you want
to ask Aaron Watson why that song?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, the reason I picked that song is because I
don't know a lot of his songs, but I knew
that he sang a song with Drake, and I actually
knew that it was Mia. I just said Maya because
I knew p full with comment and.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Correct me money.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, I would just be you know, I'm a dad,
so I do. I'm you know how dads are silly.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's just me. I'm just like I do silly things.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You're dead to silly things too, huh. All right, speaking
of dad, my my husband has a dad joke for you.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (11:20):

Speaker 2 (11:22):

honored and flattered and I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
You know what you should do is you know there's
all these different in his book of World records that
you can break and you can even make up your own.
You should be like, at one of your shows, Okay,
we're all gonna do the freight train and we're gonna
make a guineas Book of World Record for the most
people to do the freight train at a concert.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Oh yeah, I remember one time.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We were actually in Italy and I'm telling you, I
bet you there were three thousand line dancers. It was
actually sub top of line dancing competition competition thing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It was awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh cool, I've judged one of those. I love line dances.
It's so much fun. So it's gonna be some dancing
at your concert for sure. Have you heard a new
form of country called DC?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
No, okay, So basically it's a form of DC. It's
like they mixed different country songs into.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Like house music. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Speaking of dancing,
that's so fun.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I have a weird question for you. Have you ever
googled yourself?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yes, I have googled myself, so I did.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I was doing that and then I got the idea
because I was looking up ways to roast Luke Holmbs.
Don't ask long story anyway, I'm like, okay, I have
this interview. It was for a bit. I have this
interview coming up with Aaron Watson, and I asked AI
to produce me some roasts and they're actually not roasts. Okay,
they're not actually not bad. So you want me to
read them to you, I got I got two of
(07:13):
them for you, all right. Why did Aaron Watson become
a country singer instead of a GPS Oh my gosh,
because even though he's great at taking people on a journey,
his directions would probably just be turn left at the
honky tonk and keep going until you feel something in
your heart? Can you believe that? Is that spot on?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's hilarious, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well, I'm directionally challenged, so you don't take directions.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Don't don't take directions from me.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm like, don't use these fancy words like east and west.
Say turn right at the McDonald's, turn left at the RBS.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's how I work, exactly fact.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
And here's here's one more. Aaron Watson's music is so
emotionally intense therapists use his songs as a shortcut. Why
waste an hour of sessions when you can just listen
to one of his albums and cry it all out?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
What did you think of that? That was ai? That's well,
I hope, I hope. I'm not that sad.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
No, not at all, not.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
At all, but no, that's funny that. Yeah, that AI
kind of creached me out.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, it is, especially the ones that talk to you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, that's pretty wild.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, people having like relationships with their AI. But that's
a whole other conversation. All right, Eric, I'm gonna do
a few more things with you, and then I actually
have my daughter here. She's standing my husband. They want
to ask you a question. My husband's going to tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
A bad book.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But before that, I'm gonna have a little fun. So
choose a number from one to five, five five, all right?
This is a would you rather?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So there's five questions here and you're just gonna answer
would you rather?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Number one? Would you rather be on Dancing with the
Stars or masked singer?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Are you from a masked singer?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, everyone chooses mass singer. No one wants to dance.
I would totally be on Dancing with the Stars, Oh
my god? All right? Number two? Would you rather be
a judge on American Idol or coach on The Voice?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Gosh, I don't like either of those shows. I would
probably be to fire. Yeah, I probably would just quit.
I would quit, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I feel you'd rather be like Unlost or something exactly.
Oh nice, all right? Okay. Number three, superpower invisibility or super.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Strength invisibility would be fun.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Especially if you like hunting. I got that from another interview.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, yes, smart invisibility. All right.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Number four, I got two more if you had to.
Would you rather fall on stage or forget the lyrics?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Forget the lyrics, forget.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The Yeah yeah, I think fall on stage would be
a little bit more intense. And number five, would you
rather build a classic muscle car or buy a brand
new sports car?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I like classic.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I like classic cars, but man, the new cars today
they are just I'm gonna have to go with a
new car.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
A new one, okay, nice? Do you know which one?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
There's some I would oh for me if it was
a new one. If it was a classic, for me,
it would be a sixty nine or seventy cheval murdered out.
If it was a one, would be an Audio or eight,
an Audio R eight. But the one from Iron Man.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Oh you know exactly what you want? That a girl?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, Oh my gosh, I've seen that car in person.
I fell in love.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That sounds like, Yeah, those are slick? All right?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
So I got a couple more questions for you. One
is for my ten year old, and then my husband's
going to give you a dad joke. But I'm going
to set the briefis for this question. So on your
social media, there's a petition going around. First of all right,
for George Straight to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Now Bad Bunny's performing. You suggested that they should do
a duet to Bad Bunny song called Mia. By the way,
(10:34):
that means my, You're like, I got that, I got
all the comments Mia, and for George Straight to sing
the Drake part. So, Mama, what question did you want
to ask Aaron Watson why that song?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, the reason I picked that song is because I
don't know a lot of his songs, but I knew
that he sang a song with Drake, and I actually
knew that it was Mia. I just said Maya because
I knew p full with comment and.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Correct me money.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, I would just be you know, I'm a dad,
so I do. I'm you know how dads are silly.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's just me. I'm just like I do silly things.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You're dead to silly things too, huh. All right, speaking
of dad, my my husband has a dad joke for you.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Are you ready?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm ready? Angel? Hey, Aeron, how's the going, brother? I'm good?
How are you, sir? Doing good? Doing good? I just
wanted to ask you.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
