checking in with Country's big stars before the ACM Awards.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Thanks to innovative close solutions, Tody.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Johnson, we have a problem solver to your resume. Yeah,
going around just solving problems here. We didn't get footage
of it, but we saw it.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Yes, and you were great at it.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Thank you, thank you, congratulations. You just played Charlotte. I
got a chance to go. I was blown away. I've
never seen you live. I was also really impressed with
how devout the fan base is.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
It's great, it's insane and all over rat rabid fans yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I mean country fans in itself, I feel are very loyal,
they're very connected. It's a great community. But seeing you
live there is another level to the base that.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
Travels for you.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Helps me though, Like honestly, like when you see me
on stage and you see the authenticity of like I'm
telling you, I'm burying my soul for you.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Yeah, Well that's why.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
It's because they're so devout and they're so true to
what we do and believe it in what I do.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I want to hold you several times during the Hey
come here, Brot.
Speaker 7 (01:02):
There devout because the lyrics they really hit you in
this all dirt cheap.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I remember driving to work.
Speaker 7 (01:07):
I called my dad at like five in the morning, crying,
you gotta hear this song.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Like you really sing songs that mean something.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Well, that's intentional. I don't like country music that's watered
down me either, you know what I mean, Like there's
always a place for fun beer drinking, honky talking, fun
party stuff, or but there's sometimes you just want to
have a sad song that makes you cry, or you
want to have that gospel song that makes you want
to go to church. You know, it's like there's room
for all of it, but it all has to be
(01:34):
the truth.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You said authentic because the fall outside cut, but I
felt I was shocked that it was so. I was
wondering if you could because it felt completely authentic to you.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
What grabbed you about that song?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
And like, how do you deal with the creative process
of outside cuts?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
To first outside song I ever cut was a Zane
Williams song and it was called Ride with Me Yeah,
And I played it for my mom. I played it
on the acoustic guitar and I was like, listen to what.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
I just wrote.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
She said that's amazing, and I was like, well, she believes.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
That I wrote, yes, But.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I think it's it's like trying on clothes, like does
this fit me? Or does this not fit me? Sometimes
you like something and it just doesn't fit you.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
But then every now and then you hear stuff like
The Fall where you're like, minute, it feels like it
was written for me. And thankfully, honestly, now at this
point in my career, people are writing songs for me.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Which is the wrong side of that is that you
get a lot of songs that are written for you
that don't fit when you.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Got to learn how to say no.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I guess right, thank you so much so hard, I
wouldn't know.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
That's all I know. That's not good.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I'm a songwriter too. I called my own songs out
of the pile. I had three songs on my new
record that I'm cutting next year that weren't as good
as what got pitched to me, and I had to
be the guy to say, well, let's drop your pride.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Some of the best song wins always the song winds as.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Always say I love tattoos? How bad did that thing hurt?
That's a big man, Jim on the hand.
Speaker 6 (03:00):
That didn't hurt.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
He did it?
Speaker 5 (03:01):

Speaker 4 (03:02):

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Foot done you what's on it?
Speaker 5 (03:23):

Speaker 9 (04:26):
I'm like, like she had to have ordered something on there,
so yeah, I just had to go ask, but she
actually didn't. There was another truck coming in the neighborhood
at that time that she had something from, so yeah,

She she honestly, and I'm not just saying, but the
new one we can always move on is Legit. Her
and Laura, her sister. That's their favorite one. And you know,
it's just it's it's nice to have somebody to bounce off.
She's a huge music fan like me, and just from
the first listen of the songs, she was like, what
is that? And we I was like, maybe I need
to pay attention to this one a little more, and it's, uh,
(05:20):
it grows on you and it's you know, I think
that's that would be her favorite currently.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
So I got replaced. I used to be that person
stuff all the time. They got to work on my
golf game with Cole. We're going to play, man, I
promise you. This is a true story.

you would never say this, but just has had a
tremendous amount of success.

Try I'm trying not to think about that, you know
what I mean, like put it out of my memory.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
Ye wait to start the more now it was. It
actually ended up being a great day.
Speaker 11 (14:54):
You know, you could handle those things in a handful
of ways, and Mike Banning crew like to watch them
in the terrif So once we got there, right, two
bus breakdowns, then we finally get to Bosure City and
we unload all of our gear and this crazy storm
comes out of nowhere and floods the stage, all of
(15:15):
our all of our rugs, all of our cables, like
all of a lot of our mics.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
We're like, oh, this stuff is ruined.
Speaker 11 (15:22):
So we all go into you know, desperation mode, and
we're picking everything up and crisis management exactly right. Like
everybody's you know, barefoot, and just because I mean it's
torrential downpour, so everybody's like just freaking take the shirts
off and get to work. And so we're all moving
all this stuff, and there were so many moments where
(15:43):
we could have been at each other's throats.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
We could have been there could.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
Have been complaints, and not a single one after the
day that we had, Like, I was just so impressed
with the caliber of the and the character of the
people in our banding crew to just go to work,
work together, handle your bus this and then still, even
though all of our equipment was ruined, we found a
way to put on an acoustic show for the people.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
That night we didn't have a show.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
And then also it sounds like the Texas visit has
gone well. Before you sat down, you were talking about
things going real somill with a little party that unfortunately we.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Got to do better on our interviews they.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
Turned well, make you feel better, I guess there were
quite a few people, but five six hundred people that
got turned away from this party, which.
Speaker 6 (16:25):

got turned away. Second, I would have made sure that happen.

that and so they were like, hey, would you throw
a party with us?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
And I was like, of course, you know, it's in
my backyard. I got to host my nation had.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
So I invited Hudson Westbrook and Tucker wet Moore to
come play some music.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
It was awesome. And then I also last.
Speaker 11 (17:03):
Second got my buddy Zac Top to come out and

Speaker 11 (17:11):
So we are on top of you and the music
was was so freaking great. But you know those are

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thanks to innovative pool solutions, actually.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Cooks pulling in like a hurricane. Yes, ran outside, So
Randa here sat down. Welcome.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I've been waiting to ask you this for a few years.
And then we'll get back to the current. What was
the thought process by releasing like thirty eight songs on
your debut album?
Speaker 6 (17:52):
That doesn't aggressive? Yeah it was twenty four. Yeah, anything
over twenty is one hundred yeah, honestly.
Speaker 14 (17:59):
So, I've been music since I was like eleven years old,
and I've always just loved it and loved writing songs
and always wanted to release music.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
But I didn't really get the chance to.
Speaker 14 (18:07):
And then social media kind of blew up for me,
and so I felt like I was playing a game
of catchup when my album came out, because I had
this following that I built online, but I hadn't had
the music part of that.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
We're proud to say that we're both part of that, right,
so what I'm saying. And so I was like, all right,
why not?
Speaker 14 (18:20):
So I wrote these songs and I recorded them and
I thought about cutting them down, but then I was like, again,
you know, I haven't released music for two years since
I built this following, might as well just put it out.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I loved it. I just haven't seen that. You see
it now, Yeah, but not from a debut one hundred percent.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
So I just thought that was a powerful choice of life.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Here.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I am like, this is what I've been creating. Yeah,
and you'd only get one chance into a debut album,
and I was loving that choice.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
I never got to ask you this. Thank you so much.
Speaker 14 (18:44):
And also, I mean I thought about cutting some of
the songs, but they all just belonged on the project,
so it just felt right. And my second album, though
I'm not doing a double album, I'll be doing a
shorter one, so okay.
Speaker 7 (18:53):
Yeah, and I loved how you worked with Brandley Gilbert.
But one of my favorite videos, y'all did a lot
of out takes and I'm like, oh my god, the
outtakes are the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 9 (19:01):

ever heard.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Well, I'll say this too.
Speaker 16 (22:47):
Cat Country was one of the first to play tough People,
and I even made a special version for y'all there
and yeah, Hurricane Fighting. You know, you guys threw a
lot over there. And I remember having this song and
I just remember City on it and thinking, I know,
this song is so special.
Speaker 8 (23:03):
But Luke Colmbs.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Recorded it, already recorded it, yeah, and so I was
he's a writer, so so Luke decided to cut it.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
So it's it's in Luke's camp at this point now, yeah.
Speaker 16 (23:13):
And Luke was like, you know, he recorded it. I
was super happy because she's somebody's daughter. Was only in
the fifties when he recorded it, but she somebody's daughter
was top ten. I was like, what's my second song,
and I was like, man, this one really resonates with me.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
It's one of my favorites. You have a phone call
I bet on top.
Speaker 16 (23:28):
The first time. I was like, screw, I'm gonna call Luke.
And that had been a tough phone call. That was
hard because it was also not only me, you know,
I have two co writers sure that really trusted me
to do this.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
And Luke Colmb's cutting your record as a big.
Speaker 16 (23:40):
Big deal, a big deal, you know, especially as you
guys know, being from North Carolina, he's like the king there,
you know, he's like Georgia, Texas.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
And so I remember calling him.
Speaker 16 (23:49):
He never picked up, and I just left him a
voicemail and I was like, dude, if you love this song,
it's yours. But like, my second single is so important
to me, and if you have the heart, if you
feel like you want to give it back, like I'm
going to single this. I think this will be a
great second single for me. And and it wasn't. Five
minutes later, I get a voice text and he's like, sorry, Drew,
I was in the shower, but yeah I just missed you,
(24:09):
And yeah, you know I loved the song, he said,
but you wrote this song, you should sing it, you should.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Have it, and he said, I'll root.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
You on all the way up the chart, and he said,
this song means so much to you and I think
you deserve it.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
And that was really play every other song.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
He said some very nice things about you last week
in the stage coach O Man, he was speaking, he
was glowing about you.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
So I think he's really proud of you. He's really
proud of the.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
Song and Congress and they thought you have to have
to call Luke Holmes and ask for a song back too.
Speaker 16 (24:40):
Yeah, I still I remember after he called me back
and was like, yeah, Drew, you haven't. I remember just
thinking there was like that's the stupidest idea, Like convincing
them like that was hard. Luke's gonna cut it, but
I think we should.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
You know.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
That's kind of how we celebrated when Luke said he
was gonna cut it.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
We all went to Red Door, you know, I remember
sitting there celebrating.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
We were in I remember I remember walking in, sitting
in the back of the studio and one of the
co riders said, what do you think of this? And
Luke's in the boots singing the song. And I remember
sitting in that moment, sitting there and saying, I'm just
sitting back. I said this out loud, sitting back and
watching my life change, you know, watching Luke record it.
And then I never knew two months later I'd be
calling and be like, Broke Can, I amazing.
