Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's What's the wand with Jealous and Brownie Show. Earlier
this week, we shared a video that Chase McDaniel put
up on his Instagram back in April and talk about
going back home again.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I want to tell yall something. I came back home
and decided to do a little drive and visited the
house I grew up in.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
So this is it.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
A little single white trailer in the middle of nowhere
in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Our rent was two hundred bucks a month.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I had to stop recording. A guy pulled up in
the driveway and I thought, man, I'm about to get shot.
He got out of the car and actually.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Could help me.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I told him who I was, and he gave me
a big hug. He was our old landlord. I had
to pull over. I'm sitting in a church parking lot.
He said, I've heard about what's going on, and you
made it, didn't you. I said, I'll if I made it.
But I'm living on my dream. I want all the
dreamers to know out there that anything, anything is possible.
You know.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I'm a Kentucky girl.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
I was born and raised in Astria and Fountains, Kentucky,
and race in Lexton Kentucky.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
What was it like returning back to the trailer to
the home.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It was surreal, you know, I got to see you
that what happened, I didn't expect, you know, I thought
it was the day I found out that I had
a song going to the country radio. And I was
already in Kentucky that weekend, and I thought, well, I'll
just take a drive like I always do, kind of
you know, clear my head think by things. I was like,
you know, why don't I just go back and see it.
(01:21):
It's that thing still standing? And sure enough it was,
and pulled up in the driveway and you know, I
hear this, this trub just hit its brakes on the
on the road behind me and then turn around pull in.
I'm thinking, man, I'm about to something bad, about to
have much to get shot by stopping and the guy
gets out and you know it was our old landlord,
(01:43):
and you know, thank goodness, he recognized me, and uh
he was like, man, I've been seeing you on the
gas station TVs with your music, you know, And so
it was just it was crazy. It was really really
powerful and I'm so glad that it happened.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So today is a very special day. Every track of
Lost Ones. The new album that comes out today on
Big Machine means something to you in a very special way.
It's your big day, it's your new album. Tell us
about some of the songs on it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
There's a few of them that I love for different reasons.
I think if people are in a tough spot, in
a low moment, they want a reason to roll their
windows down and.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Just get through. I think that there's a song called
made It This Far. I think that'll help out a lot.
And I got a song that I wrote for my
grandparents who took me in and raised me, called What
I Didn't Have, And I think it's my favorite song album.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Oh now your grandparents still with us?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They are they're eighty three years old. And I try
to get back home to Kentucky as often as I can.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I love it. Now. You a Kentucky fan? Are a
little fan?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That's a tough question. I'm not where. I grew up
in a divided household. I know what that means that
you're from Kentucky, So I don't know. Like growing up,
I was a bit of a cardinal fan. But then
you know, when I got into my older years, sometimes
I go, you know, see it. But whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
The only time we get to hang out was during
the Kentucky game. I got a left for both of them.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
You know, I got a job in Louisville, and I said,
I don't know if I can pretend to cheer for Louisville.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Then you'll find out, Chasing when you come our way
for our big Rising Stars concert with Whistle Waterer's the Foundry,
You'll be in the upstate of South Carolina. You're either
gonna be Clemson Orange or game Cock guarded. You can't
be both, so just remember that.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Yeah, I stay away from that one.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
We're spending time with Chase McDaniel. His brand new album,
Lost Ones is out today on Big Machine Records, and
he'll join us the fifteenth of October at The Foundry
for Wistle Wonderword's Rising Stars Concert presented by Eastwood Holmes.
You said the Nashville is a ten year town.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
May of next year will be my ten year mark
in Nashville. So I've been doing this a long time
and I've just now you know, released my debut album,
which means I've been here ten years pretty much, and
now my first album is just now coming out. So
and it's not. It's not like that for eybody. Some
people coming they get it done in ten months. Some
people get it done and they do it twenty years,
you know. But I think you know. It's just it's
(04:02):
one of those towns where it takes a lot of
hard work if you want to do it, and a
lot of times you got to have multiple jobs at
the same time while you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
One of some of the jobs you've had along the
way while supporting your dream.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have done it all. I have worked blacktop and
parking lots and roads. I have work in a lumberyard.
I have waited tables, I've bartended. I drove for Uber.
I just I did that whatever I could to make rint.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
That Nashville driving Uber. You always have like you no
even have CD players in cars anywhere. We always have
some of your music playing case you never hos in
the backseat.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I would never do that in a millionayears, we would.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I had out.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I think you'd be smart if you could. I just
don't think I had the confidence to do.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Blessed well, I'm glad you never gave up on yourself.
I think that's a good message to get out to
people are thinking about doing this. It doesn't happen overnight.
We hear the stories about that, but it's far and
few between. We have more stories like yours, where you
put in the hard work ten years. I'm sure in
riding circles. I'm sure you went through the whole thing,
major contacts, and now I look.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Where you are.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It's pretty amazing. And thank y'all so much for supporting
me and having me on today. I really really appreciate it.
