Hall of Fame songwriter Kent Blazy debuts his newest album My Life So Far. Enjoy listening to this song by song analysis with a particular nod to tunes like Can't Sleep With You, Feeling Alive Again, The Devil's Music and For a Minute There.
Blazy was raised in Lexington, Kentucky. At an early age, he played rhythm guitar and sang in various local bands. He became musically inspired when he heard Roger McGuinn playing his Rickenbacker guitar on "Mr. Tamborine Man". This revelation created a new choice and Kent traded in his baseball glove for a guitar. He began his musical journey playing with a series of bands all over the eastern half of the country, citing The Byrds, Rodney Crowell and Joe Ely as influences. By the mid-70’s, Kent was band leader, playing guitar and touring with Canadian legend, Ian Tyson.
Sound advice and the timely first place win in a national songwriting contest persuaded him to move to Nashville in 1980. Kent’s commitment was now to focus his efforts at the craft of songwriting. It was a very fine decision.In 1982, sooner than expected, Gary Morris took "Headed for a Heartache" to number 5 on the charts. In the years that followed other artists, such as The Forrester Sisters, T. Graham Brown, Donna Fargo and Moe Bandy recorded Kent’s tunes.In an effort to develop more knowledge of the recording side of music and for the benefits of a “day job”, Kent opened a home recording studio. The studio offered an option for Kent’s demos as well as a demo service to other writers.
This studio introduced Kent to some of the new demo singers and songwriters of Nashville; names like Randy Travis, Billy Dean, Trisha Yearwood, Joe Diffie, and Martina McBride, now well-known country artists.In 1987, Kent was introduced to a new demo singer by Bob Doyle, then with ASCAP, soon to be the manager for this emerging talent, Garth Brooks. Garth became Kent’s most requested demo singer and Bob Doyle also advised, “Garth writes a little bit too.”The first song Garth and Kent penned together was "If Tomorrow Never Comes" which became the first number one song for both. The friendship and writing partnership continued as Garth included eight more of their songs on his albums.Four more of theirs songs captured the number one slot:"Somewhere Other Than the Night", "Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up)", "It’s Midnight Cinderella", and "She’s Gonna Make It Shoulder” and the George Jones duet “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?).” He also co-wrote “That’s What I Get for Lovin’ You” by Diamond Rio and “Can’t Get Enough” by Patty Loveless in the late 1990s.

(00:00):
Been a long, cool, lolywinter. I continue down into the spring.
I feel like guy was barely breathing. I had lost interests in almost
everything. Hey, welcome back tosuccess Made to Last. I'm Rick Tokenny.
(00:24):
This is our legend show, andsitting in front of me is one
of my favorite legends because I swearwe do a weekly podcast together. It's
Kent Blazy, and Kent is introducinghis next album, which is My life
so Far, and I think afterlistening to it over the last last couple
(00:46):
hours, it is a slice ofthe real deal. Welcome back, Kent
Blazy. Well, thank you,and that's kind of what I've been hearing
from other people that have been listeningto it. It's real. Yeah,
it's super real. And I wantto do what we've done in the past,
which is to kind of park thehood of the car up and look
(01:10):
inside the engine and ask you somespecific questions on the lyrics, sure,
and the music behind there. Butbefore I do that, catch us up
to speed on what's going on inyour life other than you keep writing music
like a madman. Well, themain thing is now I'm getting out and
fortunately with people like you doing theirinterviews, I've got some band shows coming
(01:34):
up with my guys that luckily JohnParty had some time off and so they're
getting to play some gigs with me. We've got back to back Bluebird shows
July fifth and sixth. We gotPuckets in July thirteenth, So kind of
getting out there and playing some ofthe songs and getting feedback from people and
(01:55):
having fun, Well, that's fantastic. I were listening or watching the series
with Garth and Tricia on the buildingof the of their honky Tonk and down
in your downtown, and they finallymentioned your name, I think in the
(02:16):
almost to the next to the last, as you were the guy that introduced
the two of them, So Ithought, well, it's about dang time.
They should have done that in episodeone. Well, you know,
I got to start paying him more, so talk me up more. For
a while he was really talking meup. But if I'm on the tail
end, that's better than not beinganywhere he is, That's right. Yeah.
(02:38):
I just knew they would be agreat singing partners because their voices were
so different, but just the textureof them was so good. I just
never dreamed they'd get married. Yeah, well you did it matchmaker that you
are. Okay, let's dig intothis my life so far. Let's start
(02:59):
with this. Who were the musiciansthat graced your the stage or the studio
with you this time? Well,it's the same guys that I aim to
use every time. Two of themplay with John party Lee Francis is the
bass player. He's also the leaderof the sessions and the guy who charts
(03:20):
them all out. Kevin Murphy's thedrummer and incredible drummer. Steve Allen is
a phenomenal guitar player. His bigclaim the family. He was in a
pop band in the early eighties calledtwenty twenty that were on Dick Clark and
all kind of things like that.But he's an amazing guitar player, singer,
songwriter, and he just we're kindof like, what is it different
(03:44):
sons from the same mother as faras our music background. So when I
can just tell him, hey,kind of do like this, he does
it like that perfectly. And it'sfun to have a guy that you can
relate to like that, because fora while I had this guy in the
band who was a lead player andwas a slasher, you know, like
I don't know, I don't eveneven know who he Saturini and some of
(04:09):
those guys, you know, andEddie van Halen and and so I could
tell him, well, you know, no, can you do something like
this? He's got I never heardof that guy, and I'm like,
okay. So so it's good withSteve. I can say, you know,
what would somebody do on this?And he would know what to do.
Yeah, that's great, that's great. It's a it's a beautiful,
well rounded sound, well produced album. Well, you know, the thing
(04:32):
of it is, we went inand cut ten songs in one day live
in the studio. Unbelievable, Iknow. And then the next day I
just overdubbed the electric guitars. Butwe just we get out in the same
room and the sounding poorium and kindof stare at each other and I play
and sing and they follow me,and we end up with ten songs by
(04:55):
the end of the day. Prettycool. It's too cool, Okay,
In not any particular order. Feelingalive again must have been about recovering from
the loss of a friend who haddied. My wife. She died of
a brain tumor in two thousand andnine, and the significance then of that
(05:19):
redbird singing and bringing you back intolife. That really, that line was
so well written, and I'm sittingthere going, oh my gosh, for
all the people that are recovering fromthe loss of a loved one, you
might find it back in mother natureright. Well, that was by a
(05:41):
sanctuary. There's a place, luckilynot too far from me called Radnor Lake
where I call it my church,you know when I go there all the
time, And that got me throughit. Yeah, Oh my goodness.
That's it's a beautiful song that thatcertainly adds even greater meaning to it.
I gotta tell you can't sleep withyou. I swear you send it like
(06:03):
John Sebastian on that song. Well, I will take that as a big
pat on the back because I lovethat guy and you know, loving Spoonful.
What can I say that guy was. He was in a phase and
a flow back then and just wasdoing amazing things. And even like Welcome
(06:26):
Back Cotterer, it does kind ofhave that kind of feel to it.
But I wanted to be kind ofa jazzy thing, you know. I
kind of aim to do a littlejazzy thing on most of the stuff I
do, and and that was theone. And what was so funny is
I wrote it about Cindy, mywife, and she didn't want me to
play it for anybody, and soI ran it by Lee Francis when we
(06:49):
were charting the songs, and shesays, you're not going to put that
on the record, are you?And Lee said, Hey, I'm on
the road all the time with JohnParty. I can identify what's that song,
not being able to sleep with mywife? And you want, well,
all right, then you put iton a record. So it's pretty
funny. And it is funny.Okay, you must be getting some emails
(07:11):
as we're talking. Well, letme turn all this off. The next
song that's up that I want totalk about is this one's for you?
And you're talking about we were bornone day apart and your friend at sixteen
grew a beard, and I wantto know who is this dude that you're
(07:33):
talking about. Well, his namewas Bob Kane, and like I said,
we met in the third grade.He came from California and he was
he could run faster than me,and so at first I was kind of
mad about it, but we becamefriends, and he did when he was
sixteen years old. He could growthis full beard and looked like he was
(07:56):
in his twenties, so of coursewe couldn't go in there and buy beer.
We would send him in and nobodyever carded him because he looked like
he was twenty five twenty six yearsold. And then we went to Woodstock
Pop Festival together, which was atrip in itself, and when we came
back, we decided to start aband, and it was a great band.
(08:16):
It was all four of the peoplein the band could play and sing,
and we had some record labels interestedin stuff, and we had a
show to do, and we didn'thave cell phones or anything back then.
And I found out the day ofthe show when he didn't show up that
he'd taken off to la with hisgirlfriend to seek his fortune and fame,
(08:37):
and that was kind of a turningpoint in our relationship for a while.
So we ended up getting back andbeing friends again and doing some things together.
But he was probably one of themost talented people that I ever met,
but he would never come like downto Nashville and try to make it
(08:58):
here, So he ended up playinghis whole life and bars and Lexington,
Kentucky. How about that, andthat's the inside story on it. Sounds
like there may be another song thatshould come out of that, probably so
well. And he passed away lastyear, which was at the same time
(09:18):
as my first major girlfriend passed away, and so there's songs on the album
about both of them. But thefirst song that I wrote was about him,
kind of an homage to him andthe life that we had together and
where we kind of split ways,and it opened me up to doing the
whole record. I writing that songtell me a little bit more about that
(09:41):
to inspire songwriters, because it's almostas if you're paying attention to the details
of your past and those are someof the best songs that may be coming
out. Well. Yeah, it'ssome of those things that sometimes you don't
want to look back on, oryou kind of forget about him, and
then something like a passing of somebodykind of pokes in the ribs and goes,
(10:05):
hey, remember that time, rememberthat person, And so that was
the start of the whole record.I had been listening to Jason Isbell's new
record. I'm a big fan ofhis, and he had two or three
songs on his record about people thathad passed away. That were big influences
on his life, and one ofthem was what's his name? His father
(10:28):
wrote dead Skunk in the middle ofthe Road. I think Waynwright or something
who passed away really young. Andso it was kind of interesting thing that
when this guy passed, I thought, well, I've got to do the
same thing Jason did and just writea song about this guy and what our
life was and what he meant tome. Before I knew it, the
whole record was coming out. Yeah, it's powerful. Hey, recently we
(10:54):
started doing a podcast series to celebratethe fiftieth high school reunion. It's coming
up for Sherman Ductors. Uh huh. I know Leslie Satcher would go Sherman,
Texas. Uh huh. I thinkin comparison to Paris. And I
interviewed somebody and they reminded me ofthe first girl that I ever kissed at
(11:18):
Jefferson Elementary. And then I hearyour song still my Own Only Child?
Was that about your very very firstlove? Yes it was, And you
know it was that kind of thingwhere everybody friends, relatives. My mother
thought we would get married, andyou know, she was a big fan
(11:39):
of my music, and it justcame to the point where I knew I
had to go to Nashville or laor somewhere, and she wanted a little
farm and kids, and I knewI couldn't be that guy, and so
we broke up, and I actuallyintroduced her to another friend of mine and
they ended up getting married and theyhad a farm in kids, and so
(12:03):
I hadn't seen her in a fewyears, and I came home for Christmas
and I was in the mall inLexington, Kentucky, and I had a
head of for Heartache going up thecharts. I think it was just about
number five in the country, andit was the first major song I had.
And I ran into her and shehad her babies, and I had
my song on the charts, andso everybody kind of got what they wanted.
(12:28):
But I never really wanted kids.And so I'm still my only child.
I have two step children from differentmarriages, but I'm still my only
child. That's cool, that's cool. Okay. Then I listened to the
Devil's music and I thought, whothe heck was that Kentucky preacher. You're
(12:50):
lucky you didn't know. Tell methe backstory on that Kentucky preacher who warned
you about the music that being inthe music you know you're talking about,
kind of around early seventies or whatever, and I was going to a Christian
church, and Cindy says, becauseher dad was a Baptist minister, she
(13:11):
said, this minister was more likea Baptist minister, but he knew I
started playing guitar, and he satme down and kind of told me that,
you know, if you start playingguitar, you're going to go to
hell pretty much, especially if you'replaying rock and roll. And I remember
later on I went back one timeand to church with my parents when I
(13:35):
was home, and the preacher wasrailing against exile song I want to kiss
you all over. Oh yeah,how terrible and dirty and everything that was.
And all those guys are friends ofmine, you know, And I
think that was the last time Iprobably went to church at his church.
But he was also a very proVietnam War guy too, which of course
(13:58):
I didn't see eye to eye withthat either, but he just had his
opinions on everything, and you know, he warned me about what music would
do. And I've seen what musiccan do one way or the other.
But I did meet my Angel playingthe Devil's music. So there you go.
Yeah, yeah, there it is. That's right, and is nature
(14:22):
of the Beast position right next tothe Devil's music on the album. Yeah,
kind of there was a reason forthat. But you know, I've
seen so many people that are soincredibly talented in the music business for a
long time that either signed their lifeaway to the wrong person or the record
(14:46):
label, the wrong record label,or you know, they do whatever they
can to shoot themselves into foot,And so that was kind of a take
on the guys that I've seen whoget all the money from somebody who's a
dreamer and a believer and talented,but they don't do anything to really enhance
(15:07):
their career other than make money offof them. And you know, they
don't try to help them if they'reon drugs or alcohol or whatever. They're
just trying to get as much outof them while they can get it out
of them. And it's kind ofa sad state of affairs, and it
seems like it's still going on thesedays in the music business, especially with
(15:28):
the way that record companies are inwith Spotify and all that stuff, where
songwriters don't see any money at all. And they say they're not making any
money, but somehow or other,they're making billions and we don't know where
it went because we never see it. Yeah, I wondered about listen to
the song twice. I went,he's talking about schemers. He's talking about
(15:52):
people that take or leeching from thesystem and not givers. There's and in
life there's definitely rivers and takers,users as people, he told me recently.
And so that's it's so interesting.I want, I want to encourage
you to continue to write about schemersbecause it's a warning. If people will
(16:15):
really listen to your lyrics, itis a warning inside there to keep your
eyes open. Right. Well,I had a record on about four years
ago when there was a song onthere called Lies, Lies, Lies,
and uh, it's kind of thatsame thing. A lot of people come
up to me and say, Ineed to have a copy of that because
it's very relevent whatever to what's goingon today. But also they grew up
(16:41):
in that same area where you weretold to hide underneath your desk because it
saved you from the nuclear bomb.And you know, even as a little
kid, you go, I don'tthink that's going to work and it kind
of starts you off on a pathof questioning everything, which is a good
thing. And uh, it's stillI mean now with Ai and everything else,
(17:02):
they can make anything appear like anything, and it's an interesting time.
It sure is. Okay, we'reat the halfway point of our Wonderful Legends
program with Kent Blazey, and I'mgoing to take a pause here to advertise
that the Blazy Awards are now onlysix months away from mister Blaze choosing the
(17:30):
awards and eventually, Jay Bob,we're going to get you your award for
being the Life Achievement. But herewe are mid year, and I would
love to know who might be inthe running for Newcomer of the Year.
So far, you know, Ihaven't heard them yet. I keep listening,
(17:53):
but boy, yep, I haven'theard a newcomer that's really blowing me
away like Cody John did or JasonIsbull did. So I'm out there looking
and listening, but we're six monthsin and it's pretty dry out there.
I gotta wonder why I'm wondering.You know, it's a Is it about
the cycle of music being released ornobody's just jumped out. Yet I think
(18:21):
it's harder than ever to jump out, you know, with all the different
facets of phones and computers and technologythat somebody said that it's either a million
new songs a week or released,and so how are you going to find
(18:41):
something through all that? And youknow, the people that I work with
in the music business, nobody's talkingabout the next best thing. I don't
hear anything about that. Well,this person's going to come along and do
that, like they you know,they were talking about Cody Johnson and then
when I heard what he did,I was like, yeah, that's accurate.
He's done about the best thing countrymusic's done in a while. So
(19:04):
I'm looking for another one. AndI'm thinking that if it comes from anywhere,
it'll come from a female. Yeah, I'm with you, but I
still I haven't heard anybody either.There is a back to your album My
Life so Far. There is acut that you co wrote in there.
I think with mister Brooks, whatis that song and what's that about?
(19:26):
Well, it's really interesting. Thatwas a song that was on an album
Garth did called The Lost Sessions andfairly obscure. But I've got this guy
who lives in Brazil who's Portuguese.And I've never met him in person.
We've just talked on the phone,we've e mailed. But he loves what
(19:48):
Garth does and he loves what Ido. So he wanted to do a
Portuguese version of If Tomorrow Never Comes. This was maybe ten years ago.
So we spent three months back andforth trying to get English lyrics to work
into Portuguese language, and I can'tsay it was always successful, but we
(20:10):
got close enough where he did aversion of it and really great musicians in
Brazil, and he sent me thetrack and he said, I want you
to put your voice on it too, and I want to do a duet.
So we did that, and solast year he sent me this version
of the new one, and Ithought he was just sending it to me
(20:36):
to hear what he did. Andhe did a fantastic job, and he
sang it in Portuguese and I don'tknow what it said, but I took
his word for it that it waspretty close. But then he sent me
the track and he said, well, I want you to sing it,
and so I sang it and sentit back to him, and I didn't
know what he was going to dowith it. But when I was doing
this album after Empty House, whichkind of turned into the Yardbirds, I
(21:02):
thought, I need something different onthe end of the album to kind of
close it out that goes with thebeginning of the record, and so I
asked him if I could use thattrack on this record. So I've got
the final track by a guy inBrazil who's Portuguese who loves what we do.
How about that? How about that? That's cool story? And you
(21:25):
said on Empty House. I listenedto that one three times. I think
that was my favorite because it hadthat blues that it was either the Yardbirds
or the Zombies that I kept hearing. I think it was the Yardbirds.
I'm a man, was yeah,exactly, Yeah, it's beautiful. I
(21:47):
mean it's like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna be singing that all day
long because it's or at least playingthe drums all day one. Because that
was just like where did that comefrom? Other than the group and that
background sound, But there was somethingwhat did you eat that morning? It
made you well, you know,it was interesting. I kind of had
(22:07):
the idea about writing about how itwas after my wife died, and I
thought well, that's pretty heavy,you know, when you're coming home to
an empty house, And so Ikind of wanted it to be more of
a tongue in cheek fun thing,but also accurate about what it's like coming
home to an empty house. Andso I was just playing around with it
(22:30):
one day and I started that I'ma Man groove, and I thought,
well, that's a fun way todo it. You know, what would
Buddy Guy do or something like that, And so that's how it ended up
being. And so when we werein the studio and we had just working
through it like like it was,and I said, can we do like,
you know the Yardbirds? The wholealbum that they did with I'm a
(22:52):
Man on it was called Raving Upwith the Yardbirds, and they used to
do these things in England called raveups where everybody would just go crazy,
and so I said, let's justkeep going at the end of the song
and see where it goes. Sowe were just doing, you know,
different electric guitar licks like Vick andPage would have done, and then they
go up the neck on the guitarwhile they're didn't it, and the bass
(23:15):
player's going crazy, And I justloved how it turned out because none of
it was planned, but it wasjust fun to do. And for anybody
listening to the record, I don'tthink anybody cut anything like that in Nashville
that day. Oh man, itpumps, it's got a great sound.
It also is in a not toover intellectualize this, but you know,
(23:37):
oh, come on, come on. If America is becoming a lonely nation,
you said, if you want toknow what the blues are all about,
try coming home to an empty house. I thought that could be it.
This could be an anthem for allthe lonely hearts that are out there.
(24:00):
Well, that's true. And what'sinteresting is I've had three or four
people get in touch with me whotold me how much that song hit them.
Like the one guy said, Icame home one day and the house
was empty except for my cat,and he was just going crazy because he
was in his house all by himself, and she had just moved everything out
(24:22):
and didn't even tell me she wasleaving. And I've heard three or four
stories like that from other people ofthey came home and it was an empty
house. So yeah, I mean, there's a lot of all the lonely
people. Where do they all comefrom. You know. It's like McCartney
said, they're out there, andthat's why I kind of tried to give
(24:42):
it a little bit of humor init to not make it so serious.
But you know, when you thinkof how that is for all the people
who come home to an empty house, maybe they can find some place to
smile in that. Yeah, that'sright, that's right. Thank you for
over intellectualizing that song. That's okay. That's why I love you. You're
(25:07):
a thinker, you know. Butit's like the other go ahead, that
song feeling Alive Again. I playedthat on WSM radio the other morning and
Bill Cody said that song's just toucheda lot of people and maybe gave him
hope about looking at their world andchanging the attitude of what they have.
(25:29):
And that meant a lot to mecoming from Bill because he hears so many
artists and so many songs every day. And you know, that's part of
why I write these things is tohelp other people from what I've been through.
You got it. Just one othercomment on for a minute there.
(25:52):
I like where it was positioned onyour album and it was almost like a
nice finishing touch, and thank you. That's what I was aiming for,
and I think it did it.Yeah, It's almost as if the way
you arrange the position of your songs. I know, the Devil's Music and
(26:12):
Nature the Beasts were back to back, but where you put them on the
album. I listened to Revolution theother day with my grandkids and it made
me start thinking about how where theypositioned the songs on that album to start
hot and end hot, or tojust make you feel like I got to
(26:34):
go listen to more Beatles, Well, you know, they were so great
at that and some of the otherlike Crawsby Stills in Nash that first record,
how they were positioned and there wasa lot of great records. Jimmy
Hendrix, first, are you experiencedon how they positioned the songs on there?
And that's very important to me whenI'm doing them, Even before I
(26:57):
demo them, I'm thinking, well, what order should we cut them in?
Like when we did the Beatles recordlast year, the order that we
cut them was the order that wason the record. It just that was
the way. It felt like,well that needs to be that way,
and this one I kind of hadan idea on how I wanted it to
be too. I didn't dream whenwe went in that empty house would end
(27:18):
up like it did at the endof the song. And that was one
reason why I thought, well,if I can put this for a minute
there on there, that would besomething that totally blows people's mind after what
they just listened to. And Iwanted to start off with a really positive
song but then kind of lead peopleinto different places that I'd been and what
(27:40):
I've gone through, and then acouple songs about the people that passed away,
and that led into The Devil's Music, and so I thought, well,
after the Devil's Music, you gotto put Nature of the Beast on
there. So it just kind oftold me how it wanted to be.
That's right, that's right. Well, we love your music, and every
(28:00):
time you come out with a newalbum, we expect you to be back
on So tell us where you're goingto be next, how we can follow
all your music and make sure thatwe were out there to listen to you
live in concert. Well, justknow I appreciate everything you do. And
yeah, I'm going to be atthe Bluebird in Nashville the fifth and sixth
(28:22):
of July with my band and thenthe listening room will be in September,
and then let me see what else. We're doing the thing at Pucket's and
Franklin, Tennessee on the thirteenth ofJuly. Then I've got let me look
at my list here. It's kindof a crazy, crazy month, but
(28:45):
doing a Habitat for Humanity thing inWilliamson County on the ninth with Leslie Satcher
and Ray Van Hoy, a great, great singer. And then we're going
to Florida to do some show.I think I'm going to Minneapolis on the
tenth of September and in Vegas onthe twenty seventh and twenty eighth of September,
(29:08):
doing some songwriter shows out there.Then Boise, Idaho, then Bloomington,
Illinois, and Charleston, South Carolinain November. So just kind of
getting out there and doing it.And I suggest that people go to Apple
Music to hear the stuff because theypay a little more, and I'm not
(29:30):
a big Spotify pan because they don'twant to pay us. So Amazon's good
too, or Kentblazey dot com.That's another place there you go. Thank
you, mister Blaze, and we'lltalk to you soon. And for all
you budding artists out there. Don'tforget the Blaze Awards. So you get
about six more months to impress misterBlaze because the voting ends December thirty first,
(29:55):
at the end of this year.So let's get with it. Yeah,
you got to send me the questionagain so I can start thinking about
them and try to find people thatwe can get on here that will be
putting out something we want to listento. That's right. We appreciate you,
and you take care of yourself andas we always say, we wish
(30:15):
every one of you successment on yourway to significance. Well, I well
all your programs and the letters Iget from you, so just keep it

I got one other question to askyou. Okay, folks, have a

Been a long, cool, lolywinter. I continue down into the spring.
I feel like guy was barely breathing. I had lost interests in almost
everything. Hey, welcome back tosuccess Made to Last. I'm Rick Tokenny.
(00:24):
This is our legend show, andsitting in front of me is one
of my favorite legends because I swearwe do a weekly podcast together. It's
Kent Blazy, and Kent is introducinghis next album, which is My life
so Far, and I think afterlistening to it over the last last couple
(00:46):
hours, it is a slice ofthe real deal. Welcome back, Kent
Blazy. Well, thank you,and that's kind of what I've been hearing
from other people that have been listeningto it. It's real. Yeah,
it's super real. And I wantto do what we've done in the past,
which is to kind of park thehood of the car up and look
(01:10):
inside the engine and ask you somespecific questions on the lyrics, sure,
and the music behind there. Butbefore I do that, catch us up
to speed on what's going on inyour life other than you keep writing music
like a madman. Well, themain thing is now I'm getting out and
fortunately with people like you doing theirinterviews, I've got some band shows coming
(01:34):
up with my guys that luckily JohnParty had some time off and so they're
getting to play some gigs with me. We've got back to back Bluebird shows
July fifth and sixth. We gotPuckets in July thirteenth, So kind of
getting out there and playing some ofthe songs and getting feedback from people and
(01:55):
having fun, Well, that's fantastic. I were listening or watching the series
with Garth and Tricia on the buildingof the of their honky Tonk and down
in your downtown, and they finallymentioned your name, I think in the
(02:16):
almost to the next to the last, as you were the guy that introduced
the two of them, So Ithought, well, it's about dang time.
They should have done that in episodeone. Well, you know,
I got to start paying him more, so talk me up more. For
a while he was really talking meup. But if I'm on the tail
end, that's better than not beinganywhere he is, That's right. Yeah.
(02:38):
I just knew they would be agreat singing partners because their voices were
so different, but just the textureof them was so good. I just
never dreamed they'd get married. Yeah, well you did it matchmaker that you
are. Okay, let's dig intothis my life so far. Let's start
(02:59):
with this. Who were the musiciansthat graced your the stage or the studio
with you this time? Well,it's the same guys that I aim to
use every time. Two of themplay with John party Lee Francis is the
bass player. He's also the leaderof the sessions and the guy who charts
(03:20):
them all out. Kevin Murphy's thedrummer and incredible drummer. Steve Allen is
a phenomenal guitar player. His bigclaim the family. He was in a
pop band in the early eighties calledtwenty twenty that were on Dick Clark and
all kind of things like that.But he's an amazing guitar player, singer,
songwriter, and he just we're kindof like, what is it different
(03:44):
sons from the same mother as faras our music background. So when I
can just tell him, hey,kind of do like this, he does
it like that perfectly. And it'sfun to have a guy that you can
relate to like that, because fora while I had this guy in the
band who was a lead player andwas a slasher, you know, like
I don't know, I don't eveneven know who he Saturini and some of
(04:09):
those guys, you know, andEddie van Halen and and so I could
tell him, well, you know, no, can you do something like
this? He's got I never heardof that guy, and I'm like,
okay. So so it's good withSteve. I can say, you know,
what would somebody do on this?And he would know what to do.
Yeah, that's great, that's great. It's a it's a beautiful,
well rounded sound, well produced album. Well, you know, the thing
(04:32):
of it is, we went inand cut ten songs in one day live
in the studio. Unbelievable, Iknow. And then the next day I
just overdubbed the electric guitars. Butwe just we get out in the same
room and the sounding poorium and kindof stare at each other and I play
and sing and they follow me,and we end up with ten songs by
(04:55):
the end of the day. Prettycool. It's too cool, Okay,
In not any particular order. Feelingalive again must have been about recovering from
the loss of a friend who haddied. My wife. She died of
a brain tumor in two thousand andnine, and the significance then of that
(05:19):
redbird singing and bringing you back intolife. That really, that line was
so well written, and I'm sittingthere going, oh my gosh, for
all the people that are recovering fromthe loss of a loved one, you
might find it back in mother natureright. Well, that was by a
(05:41):
sanctuary. There's a place, luckilynot too far from me called Radnor Lake
where I call it my church,you know when I go there all the
time, And that got me throughit. Yeah, Oh my goodness.
That's it's a beautiful song that thatcertainly adds even greater meaning to it.
I gotta tell you can't sleep withyou. I swear you send it like
(06:03):
John Sebastian on that song. Well, I will take that as a big
pat on the back because I lovethat guy and you know, loving Spoonful.
What can I say that guy was. He was in a phase and
a flow back then and just wasdoing amazing things. And even like Welcome
(06:26):
Back Cotterer, it does kind ofhave that kind of feel to it.
But I wanted to be kind ofa jazzy thing, you know. I
kind of aim to do a littlejazzy thing on most of the stuff I
do, and and that was theone. And what was so funny is
I wrote it about Cindy, mywife, and she didn't want me to
play it for anybody, and soI ran it by Lee Francis when we
(06:49):
were charting the songs, and shesays, you're not going to put that
on the record, are you?And Lee said, Hey, I'm on
the road all the time with JohnParty. I can identify what's that song,
not being able to sleep with mywife? And you want, well,
all right, then you put iton a record. So it's pretty
funny. And it is funny.Okay, you must be getting some emails
(07:11):
as we're talking. Well, letme turn all this off. The next
song that's up that I want totalk about is this one's for you?
And you're talking about we were bornone day apart and your friend at sixteen
grew a beard, and I wantto know who is this dude that you're
(07:33):
talking about. Well, his namewas Bob Kane, and like I said,
we met in the third grade.He came from California and he was
he could run faster than me,and so at first I was kind of
mad about it, but we becamefriends, and he did when he was
sixteen years old. He could growthis full beard and looked like he was
(07:56):
in his twenties, so of coursewe couldn't go in there and buy beer.
We would send him in and nobodyever carded him because he looked like
he was twenty five twenty six yearsold. And then we went to Woodstock
Pop Festival together, which was atrip in itself, and when we came
back, we decided to start aband, and it was a great band.
(08:16):
It was all four of the peoplein the band could play and sing,
and we had some record labels interestedin stuff, and we had a
show to do, and we didn'thave cell phones or anything back then.
And I found out the day ofthe show when he didn't show up that
he'd taken off to la with hisgirlfriend to seek his fortune and fame,
(08:37):
and that was kind of a turningpoint in our relationship for a while.
So we ended up getting back andbeing friends again and doing some things together.
But he was probably one of themost talented people that I ever met,
but he would never come like downto Nashville and try to make it
(08:58):
here, So he ended up playinghis whole life and bars and Lexington,
Kentucky. How about that, andthat's the inside story on it. Sounds
like there may be another song thatshould come out of that, probably so
well. And he passed away lastyear, which was at the same time
(09:18):
as my first major girlfriend passed away, and so there's songs on the album
about both of them. But thefirst song that I wrote was about him,
kind of an homage to him andthe life that we had together and
where we kind of split ways,and it opened me up to doing the
whole record. I writing that songtell me a little bit more about that
(09:41):
to inspire songwriters, because it's almostas if you're paying attention to the details
of your past and those are someof the best songs that may be coming
out. Well. Yeah, it'ssome of those things that sometimes you don't
want to look back on, oryou kind of forget about him, and
then something like a passing of somebodykind of pokes in the ribs and goes,
(10:05):
hey, remember that time, rememberthat person, And so that was
the start of the whole record.I had been listening to Jason Isbell's new
record. I'm a big fan ofhis, and he had two or three
songs on his record about people thathad passed away. That were big influences
on his life, and one ofthem was what's his name? His father
(10:28):
wrote dead Skunk in the middle ofthe Road. I think Waynwright or something
who passed away really young. Andso it was kind of interesting thing that
when this guy passed, I thought, well, I've got to do the
same thing Jason did and just writea song about this guy and what our
life was and what he meant tome. Before I knew it, the
whole record was coming out. Yeah, it's powerful. Hey, recently we
(10:54):
started doing a podcast series to celebratethe fiftieth high school reunion. It's coming
up for Sherman Ductors. Uh huh. I know Leslie Satcher would go Sherman,
Texas. Uh huh. I thinkin comparison to Paris. And I
interviewed somebody and they reminded me ofthe first girl that I ever kissed at
(11:18):
Jefferson Elementary. And then I hearyour song still my Own Only Child?
Was that about your very very firstlove? Yes it was, And you
know it was that kind of thingwhere everybody friends, relatives. My mother
thought we would get married, andyou know, she was a big fan
(11:39):
of my music, and it justcame to the point where I knew I
had to go to Nashville or laor somewhere, and she wanted a little
farm and kids, and I knewI couldn't be that guy, and so
we broke up, and I actuallyintroduced her to another friend of mine and
they ended up getting married and theyhad a farm in kids, and so
(12:03):
I hadn't seen her in a fewyears, and I came home for Christmas
and I was in the mall inLexington, Kentucky, and I had a
head of for Heartache going up thecharts. I think it was just about
number five in the country, andit was the first major song I had.
And I ran into her and shehad her babies, and I had
my song on the charts, andso everybody kind of got what they wanted.
(12:28):
But I never really wanted kids.And so I'm still my only child.
I have two step children from differentmarriages, but I'm still my only
child. That's cool, that's cool. Okay. Then I listened to the
Devil's music and I thought, whothe heck was that Kentucky preacher. You're
(12:50):
lucky you didn't know. Tell methe backstory on that Kentucky preacher who warned
you about the music that being inthe music you know you're talking about,
kind of around early seventies or whatever, and I was going to a Christian
church, and Cindy says, becauseher dad was a Baptist minister, she
(13:11):
said, this minister was more likea Baptist minister, but he knew I
started playing guitar, and he satme down and kind of told me that,
you know, if you start playingguitar, you're going to go to
hell pretty much, especially if you'replaying rock and roll. And I remember
later on I went back one timeand to church with my parents when I
(13:35):
was home, and the preacher wasrailing against exile song I want to kiss
you all over. Oh yeah,how terrible and dirty and everything that was.
And all those guys are friends ofmine, you know, And I
think that was the last time Iprobably went to church at his church.
But he was also a very proVietnam War guy too, which of course
(13:58):
I didn't see eye to eye withthat either, but he just had his
opinions on everything, and you know, he warned me about what music would
do. And I've seen what musiccan do one way or the other.
But I did meet my Angel playingthe Devil's music. So there you go.
Yeah, yeah, there it is. That's right, and is nature
(14:22):
of the Beast position right next tothe Devil's music on the album. Yeah,
kind of there was a reason forthat. But you know, I've
seen so many people that are soincredibly talented in the music business for a
long time that either signed their lifeaway to the wrong person or the record
(14:46):
label, the wrong record label,or you know, they do whatever they
can to shoot themselves into foot,And so that was kind of a take
on the guys that I've seen whoget all the money from somebody who's a
dreamer and a believer and talented,but they don't do anything to really enhance
(15:07):
their career other than make money offof them. And you know, they
don't try to help them if they'reon drugs or alcohol or whatever. They're
just trying to get as much outof them while they can get it out
of them. And it's kind ofa sad state of affairs, and it
seems like it's still going on thesedays in the music business, especially with
(15:28):
the way that record companies are inwith Spotify and all that stuff, where
songwriters don't see any money at all. And they say they're not making any
money, but somehow or other,they're making billions and we don't know where
it went because we never see it. Yeah, I wondered about listen to
the song twice. I went,he's talking about schemers. He's talking about
(15:52):
people that take or leeching from thesystem and not givers. There's and in
life there's definitely rivers and takers,users as people, he told me recently.
And so that's it's so interesting.I want, I want to encourage
you to continue to write about schemersbecause it's a warning. If people will
(16:15):
really listen to your lyrics, itis a warning inside there to keep your
eyes open. Right. Well,I had a record on about four years
ago when there was a song onthere called Lies, Lies, Lies,
and uh, it's kind of thatsame thing. A lot of people come
up to me and say, Ineed to have a copy of that because
it's very relevent whatever to what's goingon today. But also they grew up
(16:41):
in that same area where you weretold to hide underneath your desk because it
saved you from the nuclear bomb.And you know, even as a little
kid, you go, I don'tthink that's going to work and it kind
of starts you off on a pathof questioning everything, which is a good
thing. And uh, it's stillI mean now with Ai and everything else,
(17:02):
they can make anything appear like anything, and it's an interesting time.
It sure is. Okay, we'reat the halfway point of our Wonderful Legends
program with Kent Blazey, and I'mgoing to take a pause here to advertise
that the Blazy Awards are now onlysix months away from mister Blaze choosing the
(17:30):
awards and eventually, Jay Bob,we're going to get you your award for
being the Life Achievement. But herewe are mid year, and I would
love to know who might be inthe running for Newcomer of the Year.
So far, you know, Ihaven't heard them yet. I keep listening,
(17:53):
but boy, yep, I haven'theard a newcomer that's really blowing me
away like Cody John did or JasonIsbull did. So I'm out there looking
and listening, but we're six monthsin and it's pretty dry out there.
I gotta wonder why I'm wondering.You know, it's a Is it about
the cycle of music being released ornobody's just jumped out. Yet I think
(18:21):
it's harder than ever to jump out, you know, with all the different
facets of phones and computers and technologythat somebody said that it's either a million
new songs a week or released,and so how are you going to find
(18:41):
something through all that? And youknow, the people that I work with
in the music business, nobody's talkingabout the next best thing. I don't
hear anything about that. Well,this person's going to come along and do
that, like they you know,they were talking about Cody Johnson and then
when I heard what he did,I was like, yeah, that's accurate.
He's done about the best thing countrymusic's done in a while. So
(19:04):
I'm looking for another one. AndI'm thinking that if it comes from anywhere,
it'll come from a female. Yeah, I'm with you, but I
still I haven't heard anybody either.There is a back to your album My
Life so Far. There is acut that you co wrote in there.
I think with mister Brooks, whatis that song and what's that about?
(19:26):
Well, it's really interesting. Thatwas a song that was on an album
Garth did called The Lost Sessions andfairly obscure. But I've got this guy
who lives in Brazil who's Portuguese.And I've never met him in person.
We've just talked on the phone,we've e mailed. But he loves what
(19:48):
Garth does and he loves what Ido. So he wanted to do a
Portuguese version of If Tomorrow Never Comes. This was maybe ten years ago.
So we spent three months back andforth trying to get English lyrics to work
into Portuguese language, and I can'tsay it was always successful, but we
(20:10):
got close enough where he did aversion of it and really great musicians in
Brazil, and he sent me thetrack and he said, I want you
to put your voice on it too, and I want to do a duet.
So we did that, and solast year he sent me this version
of the new one, and Ithought he was just sending it to me
(20:36):
to hear what he did. Andhe did a fantastic job, and he
sang it in Portuguese and I don'tknow what it said, but I took
his word for it that it waspretty close. But then he sent me
the track and he said, well, I want you to sing it,
and so I sang it and sentit back to him, and I didn't
know what he was going to dowith it. But when I was doing
this album after Empty House, whichkind of turned into the Yardbirds, I
(21:02):
thought, I need something different onthe end of the album to kind of
close it out that goes with thebeginning of the record, and so I
asked him if I could use thattrack on this record. So I've got
the final track by a guy inBrazil who's Portuguese who loves what we do.
How about that? How about that? That's cool story? And you
(21:25):
said on Empty House. I listenedto that one three times. I think
that was my favorite because it hadthat blues that it was either the Yardbirds
or the Zombies that I kept hearing. I think it was the Yardbirds.
I'm a man, was yeah,exactly, Yeah, it's beautiful. I
(21:47):
mean it's like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna be singing that all day
long because it's or at least playingthe drums all day one. Because that
was just like where did that comefrom? Other than the group and that
background sound, But there was somethingwhat did you eat that morning? It
made you well, you know,it was interesting. I kind of had
(22:07):
the idea about writing about how itwas after my wife died, and I
thought well, that's pretty heavy,you know, when you're coming home to
an empty house, And so Ikind of wanted it to be more of
a tongue in cheek fun thing,but also accurate about what it's like coming
home to an empty house. Andso I was just playing around with it
(22:30):
one day and I started that I'ma Man groove, and I thought,
well, that's a fun way todo it. You know, what would
Buddy Guy do or something like that, And so that's how it ended up
being. And so when we werein the studio and we had just working
through it like like it was,and I said, can we do like,
you know the Yardbirds? The wholealbum that they did with I'm a
(22:52):
Man on it was called Raving Upwith the Yardbirds, and they used to
do these things in England called raveups where everybody would just go crazy,
and so I said, let's justkeep going at the end of the song
and see where it goes. Sowe were just doing, you know,
different electric guitar licks like Vick andPage would have done, and then they
go up the neck on the guitarwhile they're didn't it, and the bass
(23:15):
player's going crazy, And I justloved how it turned out because none of
it was planned, but it wasjust fun to do. And for anybody
listening to the record, I don'tthink anybody cut anything like that in Nashville
that day. Oh man, itpumps, it's got a great sound.
It also is in a not toover intellectualize this, but you know,
(23:37):
oh, come on, come on. If America is becoming a lonely nation,
you said, if you want toknow what the blues are all about,
try coming home to an empty house. I thought that could be it.
This could be an anthem for allthe lonely hearts that are out there.
(24:00):
Well, that's true. And what'sinteresting is I've had three or four
people get in touch with me whotold me how much that song hit them.
Like the one guy said, Icame home one day and the house
was empty except for my cat,and he was just going crazy because he
was in his house all by himself, and she had just moved everything out
(24:22):
and didn't even tell me she wasleaving. And I've heard three or four
stories like that from other people ofthey came home and it was an empty
house. So yeah, I mean, there's a lot of all the lonely
people. Where do they all comefrom. You know. It's like McCartney
said, they're out there, andthat's why I kind of tried to give
(24:42):
it a little bit of humor init to not make it so serious.
But you know, when you thinkof how that is for all the people
who come home to an empty house, maybe they can find some place to
smile in that. Yeah, that'sright, that's right. Thank you for
over intellectualizing that song. That's okay. That's why I love you. You're
(25:07):
a thinker, you know. Butit's like the other go ahead, that
song feeling Alive Again. I playedthat on WSM radio the other morning and
Bill Cody said that song's just toucheda lot of people and maybe gave him
hope about looking at their world andchanging the attitude of what they have.
(25:29):
And that meant a lot to mecoming from Bill because he hears so many
artists and so many songs every day. And you know, that's part of
why I write these things is tohelp other people from what I've been through.
You got it. Just one othercomment on for a minute there.
(25:52):
I like where it was positioned onyour album and it was almost like a
nice finishing touch, and thank you. That's what I was aiming for,
and I think it did it.Yeah, It's almost as if the way
you arrange the position of your songs. I know, the Devil's Music and
(26:12):
Nature the Beasts were back to back, but where you put them on the
album. I listened to Revolution theother day with my grandkids and it made
me start thinking about how where theypositioned the songs on that album to start
hot and end hot, or tojust make you feel like I got to
(26:34):
go listen to more Beatles, Well, you know, they were so great
at that and some of the otherlike Crawsby Stills in Nash that first record,
how they were positioned and there wasa lot of great records. Jimmy
Hendrix, first, are you experiencedon how they positioned the songs on there?
And that's very important to me whenI'm doing them, Even before I
(26:57):
demo them, I'm thinking, well, what order should we cut them in?
Like when we did the Beatles recordlast year, the order that we
cut them was the order that wason the record. It just that was
the way. It felt like,well that needs to be that way,
and this one I kind of hadan idea on how I wanted it to
be too. I didn't dream whenwe went in that empty house would end
(27:18):
up like it did at the endof the song. And that was one
reason why I thought, well,if I can put this for a minute
there on there, that would besomething that totally blows people's mind after what
they just listened to. And Iwanted to start off with a really positive
song but then kind of lead peopleinto different places that I'd been and what
(27:40):
I've gone through, and then acouple songs about the people that passed away,
and that led into The Devil's Music, and so I thought, well,
after the Devil's Music, you gotto put Nature of the Beast on
there. So it just kind oftold me how it wanted to be.
That's right, that's right. Well, we love your music, and every
(28:00):
time you come out with a newalbum, we expect you to be back
on So tell us where you're goingto be next, how we can follow
all your music and make sure thatwe were out there to listen to you
live in concert. Well, justknow I appreciate everything you do. And
yeah, I'm going to be atthe Bluebird in Nashville the fifth and sixth
(28:22):
of July with my band and thenthe listening room will be in September,
and then let me see what else. We're doing the thing at Pucket's and
Franklin, Tennessee on the thirteenth ofJuly. Then I've got let me look
at my list here. It's kindof a crazy, crazy month, but
(28:45):
doing a Habitat for Humanity thing inWilliamson County on the ninth with Leslie Satcher
and Ray Van Hoy, a great, great singer. And then we're going
to Florida to do some show.I think I'm going to Minneapolis on the
tenth of September and in Vegas onthe twenty seventh and twenty eighth of September,
(29:08):
doing some songwriter shows out there.Then Boise, Idaho, then Bloomington,
Illinois, and Charleston, South Carolinain November. So just kind of
getting out there and doing it.And I suggest that people go to Apple
Music to hear the stuff because theypay a little more, and I'm not
(29:30):
a big Spotify pan because they don'twant to pay us. So Amazon's good
too, or Kentblazey dot com.That's another place there you go. Thank
you, mister Blaze, and we'lltalk to you soon. And for all
you budding artists out there. Don'tforget the Blaze Awards. So you get
about six more months to impress misterBlaze because the voting ends December thirty first,
(29:55):
at the end of this year.So let's get with it. Yeah,
you got to send me the questionagain so I can start thinking about
them and try to find people thatwe can get on here that will be
putting out something we want to listento. That's right. We appreciate you,
and you take care of yourself andas we always say, we wish
(30:15):
every one of you successment on yourway to significance. Well, I well
