is coming together as artists are coming in and out. Hey,
(01:45):
let's just talk about this week for you guys already
putting out the single We're gonna play here a little
bit on the show. But man, this is huge for
you guys to do this now and to get off
to a great start here Dusty in twenty twenty five,
which is amazing. Talk about just the momentum y'all ended
with for twenty twenty four and look at what you
guys are looking to project here and twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Talk about that for me absolutely.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know, we we've you know, I started working. I
signed my my first major major record deal with with
Stone Country Records and Benny Brown last year at the
beginning of last year, almost a year ago today, as
a matter of fact. And we have, uh, you know,
we made a lot of great music. I've I've been
working with the new producer named Mickey Jack Combs that
that that they set me up with that I really
(02:27):
feel like this is the best music that that I've
ever made. And and I think, really, you know, the
best is yet to come. We've we've got some we've
got some great songs in the tank. But I was
really you know, I was really excited about you know,
obviously good Goodbye drives me crazy. I'm a you know,
as you guys know, I've I've been on your show before.
I'm kind of a country rocker and and you know
(02:47):
that's that's really I love a good ballad and and
and a good sad song. But but man, it really
it really fires me up whenever I can uh go
out there and and and and you know, create a
song like that's a that's in session anthem, like I
don't want to be right that you can just go
in your truck, creak up and you know, jump on
your tailgate and and drink a beer to you know
what I mean, and and sing along. So you know,
(03:10):
I think it, you know, it really stands for for
everything that that most of us country folks stand for.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I think over the last you know, four or five years,
a lot of that's been tested, and I think that,
you know, this is just kind of one of those
songs that that says, hey, you know what, like you know,
you know, this is my country, and I know what
it was founded on. I'm a you know, I'm a
I'm a country boy and have you know, high integrity
and and and ethics and and you know, and and
(03:38):
that's okay and and it's okay to be It's okay
to be country, you know what I mean. And and
I think that that that song really really just kind
of you know, gives gives my my listeners and and
and my audience that that country rock anthem that that
I've been I've been sitting on.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
For a little bit. So we're excited about it. And
it's it's.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Actually performing, its performing the best out of any single
I've ever released right now, So we're really excited about it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, it's a great single, no doubt. We're gonna play
it here a little bit and on the station near
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine and Towson up
into Colorado. Hey, take me back to South of Somewhere
when it came out there in September twenty twenty two.
Love the song off of there, and always loved songs,
you know, Dusty to have those rock anthem feels to them.
And then Boots was right up there too with it.
And what a song to kick off a great project
you guys put out.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, man, them Boots is probably you know that's kind
of it's kind of my life story and and it's, uh,
it's one of those songs that is you know, we
end ever show with it's it's obviously my my most
popular song and most streamed song. And and you know,
it feels good when when I can kind of connect
with my audience through you know, through those stories and
and uh in a way that's that you know, makes
(04:47):
you makes you want to turn it up and raise
the little hell, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So yeah, them them boots.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
South of Somewhere was my first album that I put
out in twenty twenty two, you know, and that was
that was my.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
First album ever.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And a lot of those songs tell tell stories that
you know, of things and play things that I was
going through places in my life that you know, I
didn't really feel like I could I could uh you know,
say out loud or or or you.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Know, so so you know, there's they're just like difficult
to talk about, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So I put I put all those stories and songs
and and you know that's kind of that's kind of
where we were at.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I feel like, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I've learned a lot through that process and I think,
you know, we you know, all of us artists, you know,
we can just hope that that uh, you know, we
get better as we go and and uh, you know,
deep in our our connection with with our audience and
and you know, let them into our lives and and
just be you know real and and uh you know,
and and and honest and the songs that we write
(05:46):
and the and the reason that we write them, and
and you know, perform them to the best of our ability.
So yeah, we've had we've had we've had a good
run with with that album. But man, I can't tell
you how excited I am about about what's to come
in twenty twenty five and this next album that we're
working on right now with Mickey Jack Combs, and man,
I'm just I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And I think you guys are gonna like it a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, like I said, I already loved the music too,
so I know I'm gonna like it too, and all
the listeners out there should do the same. Again, all
the music we're talking about today is available for streaming.
Let's go back to last year, hit on a couple
more that really did it for me. First of all,
just that personal storytelling. I know that country music is
becoming more and more along the lines of just telling
a great story. If it's a great song and it's
written by great people like yourself, me and Jesus. Let's
(06:30):
dive into that one a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, me and Jesus. Is you know it was?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It was written by some great buddies of mine. Houston
Phillips is a great songwriter that's written a lot of
my songs and a lot of songs for buddies of
mine like Tyler farr And and.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He's he's a great storyteller. And and that was the song.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
The first time that that I heard it, I just,
you know, I knew that it was a message that
that I wanted to tell. And you know, because I've
I've I've lived that you know story, and I think
that you know a lot of us have when when
you know we're just we're uh you know, we're we
have to understand that, uh, you know, being being a
(07:11):
Christian and and and and I sure am and and
you know, God's the reason that almost every single door
that's ever opened for me has and uh, you know,
it's one of those things it's kind of just like
a god thing. But I think that, you know, we
we struggle with like trying to be perfect right, and
we forget that God loves us for exactly who we are,
(07:31):
and and uh you know that that we're allowed to
make mistakes and uh, you know, to not beat ourselves
up so much, and and uh, you know, I just
thought it was such a great message.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I love the I love the song, and and you know,
it's like I said, it is a it is kind
of a different version, you know, of of my music,
Like I I want to I want to tell sad
stories and and I want to rock your face off,
you know, with with the country rock anthem too, you
know what I mean. But I think it's very important that,
more than anything, is just to be authentic and and.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Be who you really are.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And you know, there's too much fake stuff out there
in this world today. So I think that when you
put a song out like that and and you know
that song is just you know, I've gotten thousands of
messages and and you know about you know, from people
that just you know, absolutely love the song and you know,
felt the same way. I'm They're glad that somebody else could,
you know, put it in words that made them feel
(08:21):
like they're not alone. But I think when when you
can be just, you know, your authentic self and talk
about things that that might be, you know, uncomfortable or
or just to let everybody else know that you know,
they're not alone. If they're struggling, or if they're you know,
going through something or feeling a certain way.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know again, we're we're here to be better each day,
not perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's it, but we're here till the Good Lord calls
us home. We're not perfect out there too, and we're
gonna put out the best projects. And one of the
best singles out there from the Dusty Black camp came
out last year. It's called Goodbye Drives Me Crazy. Here

Hey goodbye. Drives me crazy too always, no matter what
aspect of life, that is right here Becky her Dusty
Black on KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine. Out

hot chocolate, sit back, or if you're skiing out there too.
Whatever you're doing, make sure you're doing it safe. All
this winter weather coming in over the past few days
of everybody is safe and indoors staying warm, and of
(13:46):
course tuning in right here five to six Mountain time
out there, two drive time every day on the KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine. So, my friend, I
love this one. Goodbye drives me crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I love the writing too, thanks man. Yeah, it's you know,
I think that especially as artists.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
But I mean, so many people travel for work and
and you know, obviously it's the sacrifices that we have
to make to few families and and uh, you know
it's it's you know, when duty calls, we do it.
But it doesn't doesn't necessarily always feel good. And and
you know, as exciting it is to travel, you know,
the country and and things like that. I've got two
(14:22):
little girls that are ten and thirteen, and and uh,
it drives me every It drives me crazy every time
I have to say good bye to him, you know
what I mean for a couple of days going on
the road or what have you. And you know, you
can it's you can relate it to you know, to
your to your love with your spouse or to your girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever.
But but yeah, you know it's it's uh, that song
(14:42):
kind of had kind of had kind of a has
a weird story behind it. It was actually al Dean
had that on hold for for a while and and
just never never made his record, and and uh, when
the guys went into the room that day tried that
song there, you know, he he had posted something on
a story about how you know, about how you know
he hates leaving his family as much as see you know,
(15:03):
love's going on tour and all this good stuff. So
so yeah, that was that was one I kind of
I scooped up from him when it didn't make his
album and they went into the studio of the day
to write you know, that song about that feeling you
know that he was he was kind of expressing that
he was having. And you know, it's just so relatable
to me and to obviously to lots of the audience
(15:26):
out there.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You don't want to ask you too, man, It's so
cool to see all this great talent now in Nashville too,
great writers and of course a lot of great artists,
and the industry is very healthy, and I think healthy
for a long time, in the last probably twenty five
thirty years. Ever since the late eighties to early nineties
country to write their late nineties to early two thousands
when all the great music was there. I mean, you
turn on the radio, listen to all the different stations,
and you hear all the great songs. So you mentioned
(15:48):
Mickey Jack Conbs out there too. He's a great producer
and a great writer in his own right. But talk
about just the evolution, if you will, that you're seeing
so many different talented artists now, and how streaming Dusty
has really changed the game.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, you know, it's I've been in Nashville for ten
years now, and you know, I think obviously the way
people consume music over that ten years has changed drastically,
and and you know, even the recipe to success has
changed in a lot of ways. But I think that
the streaming obviously gives independent artists, you know, the ability
(16:21):
to go out and get their music card, which I
think is is a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
You know, I think social media and and you.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Know, there's there's been a lot of disruption obviously, you know,
and you know, we used to you know, people called
Nashville a ten year of town.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Right, Well, that's not so much the case anymore, right,
I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Can you can blow up a video on TikTok and
and get millions and millions of views like Tucker Wetmore did,
and you know, be you can actually have you know,
a huge success.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Overnight, you know, so to speak. And I think that
you know, in in my opinion, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You give, give the fans what they want, right, and
I welcome, I welcome all the great talent that's moved
into the town over the last you know, I guess
four or five years since TikTok came about and kind
of disrupted the industry. But you know, I do think
that you see on the opposite side of that that
you know, people that did have experience. You know, you
(17:18):
saw some of the live touring and and you know
some of the some of the issues there with with
those let's say overnight success, you know, successes over the
last five years. You know, there's a lot more to
this business than then obviously just posted a song on
TikTok and and there's a lot of hard work that
goes behind the scenes, a lot of you know, a
huge team that you know, it kind of takes a
takes an army, right, and you know, it's been it's
(17:41):
been interesting to watch, and I think it evolves every
day here, you know, and I think there's a lot
more disruption coming in the next five years.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, a lot more is coming to and I think
also the TV shows I like to watch out there,
The Voice and of course the American Idol still going strong.
America's got talent. All these reality shows given those artists
a platform to stand on the otherwise may not have
out there too, just game changers and of course getting
some good coaching for the business, especially on the show
like the Voice out there too. Let me let's stay
the same kind of token. They're a friend too. You
(18:10):
look at all this the female bracket right now, with
Lady Wilson going strong, and of course Megan Maroney, Kayley
Hammock and Hannah Ellis, Ashley Cook, Ashley McBride. I mean,
the names go on and on. There's many that we
don't have time to mention too. But that Ladies category
for female country artists. Talk about just how strong that is,
because that's a that's probably one of the strongest lineups
that I've seen since that nineties country Eric too.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, I completely agree, you know those you know, I
grew up on nineties country and I'm a huge fan
of the ladies, And I tell you Ella Langley's probably
my favorite new female on the scene. And I mean,
she's just got an incredible voice and she's an incredible songwriter.
But there's, yeah, there's so much talent out there right now,
and you know that's you know, that's you know, I
(18:55):
think that's how it's supposed to be it. You know,
I think it drives you know, each each of us
artists to kind of work harder and you know, continue
to you know, make good music, and that's what it's
all about, right But yeah, I mean there's just the
lineup of incredible women in country right now I think
is probably the best that I've.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Ever seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And they're just an incredible artists and I'm glad that
they're getting the platform that they deserve and they're being
recognized as they should be.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know, you mentioned being in that town for ten
years too, and they always say ten year town, if
not more. When it comes down to it, you pay
your dues, you play, and I go back to the
aldiing song he wrote there, you know, years back, and
you hear that kind of in the lyrics out there too,
and the titles escape to me right now. But I
love it because you're gonna, like I said, pay those dues,
play those stages, get out there, play Broadway, play every
existing different dive Bard club around there at the same time,
(19:46):
and you know, if you're good, you're gonna get noticed
out there too. At the same time, you have to
audition for certain spots. But talk about just maybe some
of the challenges that some of the fans may not
see that you guys go through as artists, and kind
of what's been the biggest obstacle for you.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, I think, you know, whenever I think that there's
so you know, I put a lot of stock in
great songs, right and you know, there's there's tens of
thousands of songwriters out here. I think it's really like
finding your you know, your crew and and uh and
you know, building that camp out over time with with
the incredible wrap writers that you write well with, and uh,
(20:21):
you know, I mean it's so but it's hard when
you first move here, right, Like, nobody wants to write
with you when you don't have a hit, and then
when you have a hit, everybody wants to write with you,
and you're you know, you're filled up, and and you
got all the superstars, you know, you know, filling those
filling those writing sessions, and it's hard to get in
with them, right, So you know, I think that you know,
(20:41):
it's so it's a relationships game, just like anything else is.
You got to go out play the rounds, meet the
other writers, you know, network, uh, and you know, I
think that's I think that that's really half the battle
in this town. And you know, the I think there's
a there's most of the times that you know, the
the best man wins, you know what I mean, And
(21:02):
that's how it should be. The you know, the best
writers are signing publishing deals, the best writers are, I mean,
the best artists are signing record deals. But there's also
a lot of independent artists that you know, I would
put up against anybody right that that I think are
very deserving of that of that deal and and just
might not have the opportunity yet. So but you know,
and they're playing, you know, they're trying to survive on
(21:24):
playing you know, shows in town, Broadway or or whatever.
You know, I think that a lot of people think
that artists will move to town and start playing Broadway
to make a living obviously, and and then have time
to write. So I think it's balancing, which they just don't.
So the balancing of that is is pretty you know,
(21:45):
it's pretty tough, right, you know, publishing deals. When you
sign a publishing deal, it's it's not a lot of money,
you know, a couple of grand a month usually in
the beginning, so you know they're having to work, you know,
other jobs and and do things like that. But a
lot of a lot of very talent with an artists
will go on Broadway and kind of get you know,
it's it's it's good money. Those guys are making, you know,
(22:06):
a thousand dollars a night, right, So that kind of
ends up consuming their time more than writing and and
and maybe fulfilling their dreams or chasing their real dream
of being an artist or a or a professional songwriter.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Great explanation. Now, let's go back to July of last year.
My friend dust Off of Me from my Dusty Black
who loved the writing in this one too, and another
just great song that had tremendous lyrics in it, and
I'm sure it had to be just as much fun
to write as it did to record to at the
same time.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, dust Off Me's a great song and uh he
Sanders and Houston Phillips both both wrote that one as well.
It's you know, I think that anybody that's been through
a relationship that you know, or gone through divorce or
you know, gone through a bad breakup and they spend
years and years and years with somebody and then you
(22:55):
know that that automatically ends.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You know, there's there's a you know, the I guess
some some there's some there's some russ that we.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That kind of uh, you know, adds up over time

don't want to be right, my friend, you landed a
great one, no doubt about it. For this single. I
love this song and I love the fact that this
is down home to its core country music.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh yeah, you know, I mean, you know, we had
to put John Deere in it, and uh, you know,
talked about the pastor in three sixteen John three sixteen.
But uh, you know, I think that you know, it's
it's like I said, it's one of those songs I
grew up you know, in the middle of in the
middle of nowhere in Arkansas as a young boy.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
And then ended up moving to right.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Outside of Memphis, and you know, just it's one of
those songs that I feel, like, yeah, just to find everything.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
We love and how we grew up and and uh,
you know, if I can't, if I can't be that,
I don't. I don't. I don't want to. I don't
want to be anything at all, you know what I mean.
There's no other choice for me.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So I think a lot of I think a lot
of country boys and country gals out there agree with me.
And and you know, like I said, this is one
of those that you just you want to turn up,
turn up all the way and roll the windows down
and and uh crank and cloud.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And I want to ask you about collaborations out there too.
It's becoming more and more kind of the norm in
the business now to at the same time you did
one with Gary Levox. I will leave back to call
Somebody's Mama a while back in twenty twenty one off
that to who Are You Epe? Talk about just the
collaborations becoming kind of more of that norm in the business,
and then what it was like to work with one
of the greatest of all time and Gary Laboux, I.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Mean collaborations are obviously, you know, getting bigger and bigger,
and and and I've I've I've got some that we're
we're working on for this year that I'm really excited about.
I can't talk about them yet, but but when I
when I can, I promise you will be the first
to know. But uh, we have you know, obviously Gary
and I both have two daughters. And Somebody's Mama is
just an incredible song about, you know, raising raising those girls,
(30:01):
you know, like not just like little girls, but that
are gonna be somebody's mama some day, and and uh,
you know all the things that that we enjoy, you know,
as fathers, you know, raising him to the little ladies
that they're growing up to be, and his or you know,
Gary and I've been very very good friends for about
ten years now, and uh, you know, his his girls
are grown now, which is which is kind of sad
(30:22):
because mine are on the way you know, minor tend
and thirteen. So I feel like, you know, the last
ten years has just kind of flown by, and and
uh you know that that song makes me, you know,
gives me, uh almost makes me tear up almost every
time I play it on stage, you know, because it's
usually away from him, and and that's you know, that's uh,
that's their song. So we you know, I knew that
when I you know, I knew that there was nobody
(30:44):
else that I wanted on it other than Gary. He
just has, you know, one of the most incredible voices
in country music history. He's very unique and and uh,
I just think he's one of the greatest singers of
all times. And I was I was honored to have
him on that and and I'm blessed to call him
a friend.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I don't put you on the spot here a little
bit too, because I know we've done this before, this
whole backstage past thing. You've been on the radio show,
and I've got to ask you a lot of cool questions.
But this will put you on the spot too. We'll
test the memory right here too, all right, Do you
remember that my favorite Dusty Black song? What year it
came out? And uh, like I said, I want to
talk about the writing of it too, And I want
to see if you remember. It's kind of like a
gut check here, but it was one of the ones
(31:22):
that I streamed over and over again on the station.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'm gonna say right Church for Pew, I now did.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Dude loved it amazing too, you man. You, like I said,
you killed and hit the buzzer right there too, the
golden buzzer. Uh man, just uh what a song, dude,
that was lyrically when you and I first met in
twenty twenty when this came out, Right Church Wrong Pew
loved it so much off of that too for that single, dude,
And that really, I know kind of you know, really
(31:52):
got the wheels really spinning out there for you in
the camp because people, man, they salivated.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Over that tea man. Yeah, man, that's uh. I mean
that's still today one of my favorite songs too.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So so I agree with you man, it's uh, it's
it's a great That was my first that was my
debut single, and you know that was a song that's
you know Jordan good buddy of mine, uh wrote it
and my dad, you know, my my dad was my
dad had just passed away of cancer, but he was
a singer songwriter and spent many nights out on the
(32:23):
back porch with us listening to demos and and going
through songs from you know, not only mine, but guys
like George Birds and Jordan Walker and I'm you know,
I'm Morgan Wall and Dylan Schnyder, among many many others.
And uh and that was his favorite song, and this
is what he wanted me to do, so you know,
I kind of made it a point to to release
(32:43):
that first one, you know, obviously in his honor, and
I released it on the one year anniversary of his passing,
which was really cool.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I love it, man, right Church wrong, Peter, Like I said,
that's always one of those songs that speaks from the heart.
And yet Dusty Black dot com for more information out there,
the tour dates and the merchandise, besure and check it out,
and of course out there the latest single, I don't uh,
I don't want to be right across all those digital
streaming platforms. All right, my friend, let's have a little
fun with this one. Favorite spots to go out and
just have a night on the town. It could be
spots to drink, eat in Nashville, Tennessee. There's no shortage
(33:13):
of them, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I mean, you know, I'm a big fan of a
of a good steak. I'm a I'm kind of a
meat and potatoes kind of guy. And uh, man, you know,
there's there's so many there's over the last like two
years even, I mean, it feels like, you know, our
restaurants have like tripled. But so I'm either a steak
and potato guy and I'm probably gonna go.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
To twelve thirty Supper Club. I just think it has
the best, the.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Best ambiance, and you know, they've got bands that kind
of play that are that are really good.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
But it's also like kind of fine dining. But their
steak is just phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And I eat Mexican food about four times a week.
So uh, after after living in Dallas for ten years, Man,
I don't I don't know what y'all did to me,
but I'm I'm just like addicted to text mechs. And
there's there is a new place actually that that I
was like one of my favorite spots in Dallas called Masero.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
That just opened in twelve South in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
So you know, if you're in Nashville around lunch, maybe
around dinner, you know, happy hour, you can you can
find me at Masaro probably three days a week.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
That's good stuff out there. I gotta try the another
one that some artists have been talking about, especially for
c r. S. Dufty is the bar Taco some great tacos. Yeah, uh,
fantastic there too, So definitely gotta try that one out too.
And of course I still my hot chicken battle. What's
settled over the past couple of trips have done there.
I love Hatty Bees. There's just something about the Hetty
Bees hot chicken that does it for me.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
So yeah, man, they're they're uh, they're the best. They're
the best. You know, it's hard to it's hard to,
you know, stay stay in shape in this town. Man,
with all this, with all this good food, and especially
all the food that's moving in.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You know, I think, you know, I'm I'm gonna have to.
I'm gonna have to get a little handle on it
for for your things to get out of control.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
So no doubt, brother, I'm like you, three four a week,
eat what you want to eat before you paid the
price school the calgories too bad, because it's it's bad,
especially living here in Texas. Barbecue and Mexican food and
whatever you get your hands on down here. Pizza is
one of my favorites. It's hard to just ditch that
and say no. But the food category, we all live
there too, Hey, let's talk about this one. Had you
(35:19):
never become a musician, what other occupation would have been
out there for Dusty black Well.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I also own a company called black Time Moving. I
founded it fourteen years ago. My father owned a separate
moving company that I grew up in. And and you know,
even though I told him, you know, when I graduated
high school, I got hurt playing playing ball and he
was like, well, if you come and I guess you're
gonna come home and run the family business. And I said,
not in a million years, there's no way. And uh,
(35:47):
and you know, ten years later, here, you know, here
I am. But I don't know, man, I think that
I think that, you know, probably i'd probably still be
and I still am, obviously I still in the company.
But you know, it's I love serving people. It's a
way that we can serve people during one of the
(36:07):
most strustful times you know, of their life. They say,
they say, death, divorce, and moving is the three most
stressful things that we'll do. So, you know, I think
it's a great opportunity to serve somebody at the very
high level during one of the most stressful days. And
and uh, I think we do a pretty good job
with that, So I guess you know, if I wouldn't,
if I wasn't doing music, i'd i'd go back to
doing that.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And always good to have a plan. B. But you
know what, you're kicking ass and taking names with all
the great music stuff out there, and I love it,
uh this latest single, I don't want to be right

Country Radio Seminar, we'll be broadcasting our show live February
nineteenth to twenty first at the Omni Hotel. Looking forward
to getting out there, meeting everybody and already the schedule
is coming together as artists are coming in and out. Hey,
(01:45):
let's just talk about this week for you guys already
putting out the single We're gonna play here a little
bit on the show. But man, this is huge for
you guys to do this now and to get off
to a great start here Dusty in twenty twenty five,
which is amazing. Talk about just the momentum y'all ended
with for twenty twenty four and look at what you
guys are looking to project here and twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Talk about that for me absolutely.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know, we we've you know, I started working. I
signed my my first major major record deal with with
Stone Country Records and Benny Brown last year at the
beginning of last year, almost a year ago today, as
a matter of fact. And we have, uh, you know,
we made a lot of great music. I've I've been
working with the new producer named Mickey Jack Combs that
that that they set me up with that I really
(02:27):
feel like this is the best music that that I've
ever made. And and I think, really, you know, the
best is yet to come. We've we've got some we've
got some great songs in the tank. But I was
really you know, I was really excited about you know,
obviously good Goodbye drives me crazy. I'm a you know,
as you guys know, I've I've been on your show before.
I'm kind of a country rocker and and you know
(02:47):
that's that's really I love a good ballad and and
and a good sad song. But but man, it really
it really fires me up whenever I can uh go
out there and and and and you know, create a
song like that's a that's in session anthem, like I
don't want to be right that you can just go
in your truck, creak up and you know, jump on
your tailgate and and drink a beer to you know
what I mean, and and sing along. So you know,
(03:10):
I think it, you know, it really stands for for
everything that that most of us country folks stand for.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I think over the last you know, four or five years,
a lot of that's been tested, and I think that,
you know, this is just kind of one of those
songs that that says, hey, you know what, like you know,
you know, this is my country, and I know what
it was founded on. I'm a you know, I'm a
I'm a country boy and have you know, high integrity
and and and ethics and and you know, and and
(03:38):
that's okay and and it's okay to be It's okay
to be country, you know what I mean. And and
I think that that that song really really just kind
of you know, gives gives my my listeners and and
and my audience that that country rock anthem that that
I've been I've been sitting on.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
For a little bit. So we're excited about it. And
it's it's.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Actually performing, its performing the best out of any single
I've ever released right now, So we're really excited about it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, it's a great single, no doubt. We're gonna play
it here a little bit and on the station near
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine and Towson up
into Colorado. Hey, take me back to South of Somewhere
when it came out there in September twenty twenty two.
Love the song off of there, and always loved songs,
you know, Dusty to have those rock anthem feels to them.
And then Boots was right up there too with it.
And what a song to kick off a great project
you guys put out.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, man, them Boots is probably you know that's kind
of it's kind of my life story and and it's, uh,
it's one of those songs that is you know, we
end ever show with it's it's obviously my my most
popular song and most streamed song. And and you know,
it feels good when when I can kind of connect
with my audience through you know, through those stories and
and uh in a way that's that you know, makes
(04:47):
you makes you want to turn it up and raise
the little hell, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So yeah, them them boots.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
South of Somewhere was my first album that I put
out in twenty twenty two, you know, and that was
that was my.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
First album ever.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And a lot of those songs tell tell stories that
you know, of things and play things that I was
going through places in my life that you know, I
didn't really feel like I could I could uh you know,
say out loud or or or you.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Know, so so you know, there's they're just like difficult
to talk about, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So I put I put all those stories and songs
and and you know that's kind of that's kind of
where we were at.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I feel like, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I've learned a lot through that process and I think,
you know, we you know, all of us artists, you know,
we can just hope that that uh, you know, we
get better as we go and and uh, you know,
deep in our our connection with with our audience and
and you know, let them into our lives and and
just be you know real and and uh you know,
and and and honest and the songs that we write
(05:46):
and the and the reason that we write them, and
and you know, perform them to the best of our ability.
So yeah, we've had we've had we've had a good
run with with that album. But man, I can't tell
you how excited I am about about what's to come
in twenty twenty five and this next album that we're
working on right now with Mickey Jack Combs, and man,
I'm just I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And I think you guys are gonna like it a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, like I said, I already loved the music too,
so I know I'm gonna like it too, and all
the listeners out there should do the same. Again, all
the music we're talking about today is available for streaming.
Let's go back to last year, hit on a couple
more that really did it for me. First of all,
just that personal storytelling. I know that country music is
becoming more and more along the lines of just telling
a great story. If it's a great song and it's
written by great people like yourself, me and Jesus. Let's
(06:30):
dive into that one a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, me and Jesus. Is you know it was?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
It was written by some great buddies of mine. Houston
Phillips is a great songwriter that's written a lot of
my songs and a lot of songs for buddies of
mine like Tyler farr And and.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He's he's a great storyteller. And and that was the song.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
The first time that that I heard it, I just,
you know, I knew that it was a message that
that I wanted to tell. And you know, because I've
I've I've lived that you know story, and I think
that you know a lot of us have when when
you know we're just we're uh you know, we're we
have to understand that, uh, you know, being being a
(07:11):
Christian and and and and I sure am and and
you know, God's the reason that almost every single door
that's ever opened for me has and uh, you know,
it's one of those things it's kind of just like
a god thing. But I think that, you know, we
we struggle with like trying to be perfect right, and
we forget that God loves us for exactly who we are,
(07:31):
and and uh you know that that we're allowed to
make mistakes and uh, you know, to not beat ourselves
up so much, and and uh, you know, I just
thought it was such a great message.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I love the I love the song, and and you know,
it's like I said, it is a it is kind
of a different version, you know, of of my music,
Like I I want to I want to tell sad
stories and and I want to rock your face off,
you know, with with the country rock anthem too, you
know what I mean. But I think it's very important that,
more than anything, is just to be authentic and and.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Be who you really are.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And you know, there's too much fake stuff out there
in this world today. So I think that when you
put a song out like that and and you know
that song is just you know, I've gotten thousands of
messages and and you know about you know, from people
that just you know, absolutely love the song and you know,
felt the same way. I'm They're glad that somebody else could,
you know, put it in words that made them feel
(08:21):
like they're not alone. But I think when when you
can be just, you know, your authentic self and talk
about things that that might be, you know, uncomfortable or
or just to let everybody else know that you know,
they're not alone. If they're struggling, or if they're you know,
going through something or feeling a certain way.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know again, we're we're here to be better each day,
not perfect.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's it, but we're here till the Good Lord calls
us home. We're not perfect out there too, and we're
gonna put out the best projects. And one of the
best singles out there from the Dusty Black camp came

(13:46):
course tuning in right here five to six Mountain time
out there, two drive time every day on the KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine. So, my friend, I
love this one. Goodbye drives me crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I love the writing too, thanks man. Yeah, it's you know,
I think that especially as artists.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
But I mean, so many people travel for work and
and you know, obviously it's the sacrifices that we have
to make to few families and and uh, you know
it's it's you know, when duty calls, we do it.
But it doesn't doesn't necessarily always feel good. And and
you know, as exciting it is to travel, you know,
the country and and things like that. I've got two
(14:22):
little girls that are ten and thirteen, and and uh,
it drives me every It drives me crazy every time
I have to say good bye to him, you know
what I mean for a couple of days going on
the road or what have you. And you know, you
can it's you can relate it to you know, to
your to your love with your spouse or to your girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever.
But but yeah, you know it's it's uh, that song
(14:42):
kind of had kind of had kind of a has
a weird story behind it. It was actually al Dean
had that on hold for for a while and and
just never never made his record, and and uh, when
the guys went into the room that day tried that
song there, you know, he he had posted something on
a story about how you know, about how you know
he hates leaving his family as much as see you know,
(15:03):
love's going on tour and all this good stuff. So
so yeah, that was that was one I kind of
I scooped up from him when it didn't make his
album and they went into the studio of the day
to write you know, that song about that feeling you
know that he was he was kind of expressing that
he was having. And you know, it's just so relatable
to me and to obviously to lots of the audience
(15:26):
out there.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
You don't want to ask you too, man, It's so
cool to see all this great talent now in Nashville too,
great writers and of course a lot of great artists,
and the industry is very healthy, and I think healthy
for a long time, in the last probably twenty five
thirty years. Ever since the late eighties to early nineties
country to write their late nineties to early two thousands
when all the great music was there. I mean, you
turn on the radio, listen to all the different stations,
and you hear all the great songs. So you mentioned
(15:48):
Mickey Jack Conbs out there too. He's a great producer
and a great writer in his own right. But talk
about just the evolution, if you will, that you're seeing
so many different talented artists now, and how streaming Dusty
has really changed the game.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, you know, it's I've been in Nashville for ten
years now, and you know, I think obviously the way
people consume music over that ten years has changed drastically,
and and you know, even the recipe to success has
changed in a lot of ways. But I think that
the streaming obviously gives independent artists, you know, the ability
(16:21):
to go out and get their music card, which I
think is is a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
You know, I think social media and and you.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Know, there's there's been a lot of disruption obviously, you know,
and you know, we used to you know, people called
Nashville a ten year of town.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Right, Well, that's not so much the case anymore, right,
I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Can you can blow up a video on TikTok and
and get millions and millions of views like Tucker Wetmore did,
and you know, be you can actually have you know,
a huge success.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Overnight, you know, so to speak. And I think that
you know, in in my opinion, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You give, give the fans what they want, right, and
I welcome, I welcome all the great talent that's moved
into the town over the last you know, I guess
four or five years since TikTok came about and kind
of disrupted the industry. But you know, I do think
that you see on the opposite side of that that
you know, people that did have experience. You know, you
(17:18):
saw some of the live touring and and you know
some of the some of the issues there with with
those let's say overnight success, you know, successes over the
last five years. You know, there's a lot more to
this business than then obviously just posted a song on
TikTok and and there's a lot of hard work that
goes behind the scenes, a lot of you know, a
huge team that you know, it kind of takes a
takes an army, right, and you know, it's been it's
(17:41):
been interesting to watch, and I think it evolves every
day here, you know, and I think there's a lot
more disruption coming in the next five years.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, a lot more is coming to and I think
also the TV shows I like to watch out there,
The Voice and of course the American Idol still going strong.
America's got talent. All these reality shows given those artists
a platform to stand on the otherwise may not have
out there too, just game changers and of course getting
some good coaching for the business, especially on the show
like the Voice out there too. Let me let's stay
the same kind of token. They're a friend too. You
(18:10):
look at all this the female bracket right now, with
Lady Wilson going strong, and of course Megan Maroney, Kayley
Hammock and Hannah Ellis, Ashley Cook, Ashley McBride. I mean,
the names go on and on. There's many that we
don't have time to mention too. But that Ladies category
for female country artists. Talk about just how strong that is,
because that's a that's probably one of the strongest lineups
that I've seen since that nineties country Eric too.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, I completely agree, you know those you know, I
grew up on nineties country and I'm a huge fan
of the ladies, And I tell you Ella Langley's probably
my favorite new female on the scene. And I mean,
she's just got an incredible voice and she's an incredible songwriter.
But there's, yeah, there's so much talent out there right now,
and you know that's you know, that's you know, I
(18:55):
think that's how it's supposed to be it. You know,
I think it drives you know, each each of us
artists to kind of work harder and you know, continue
to you know, make good music, and that's what it's
all about, right But yeah, I mean there's just the
lineup of incredible women in country right now I think
is probably the best that I've.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Ever seen in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
And they're just an incredible artists and I'm glad that
they're getting the platform that they deserve and they're being
recognized as they should be.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know, you mentioned being in that town for ten
years too, and they always say ten year town, if
not more. When it comes down to it, you pay
your dues, you play, and I go back to the
aldiing song he wrote there, you know, years back, and
you hear that kind of in the lyrics out there too,
and the titles escape to me right now. But I
love it because you're gonna, like I said, pay those dues,
play those stages, get out there, play Broadway, play every
existing different dive Bard club around there at the same time,
(19:46):
and you know, if you're good, you're gonna get noticed
out there too. At the same time, you have to
audition for certain spots. But talk about just maybe some
of the challenges that some of the fans may not
see that you guys go through as artists, and kind
of what's been the biggest obstacle for you.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, I think, you know, whenever I think that there's
so you know, I put a lot of stock in
great songs, right and you know, there's there's tens of
thousands of songwriters out here. I think it's really like
finding your you know, your crew and and uh and
you know, building that camp out over time with with
the incredible wrap writers that you write well with, and uh,
(20:21):
you know, I mean it's so but it's hard when
you first move here, right, Like, nobody wants to write
with you when you don't have a hit, and then
when you have a hit, everybody wants to write with you,
and you're you know, you're filled up, and and you
got all the superstars, you know, you know, filling those
filling those writing sessions, and it's hard to get in
with them, right, So you know, I think that you know,
(20:41):
it's so it's a relationships game, just like anything else is.
You got to go out play the rounds, meet the
other writers, you know, network, uh, and you know, I
think that's I think that that's really half the battle
in this town. And you know, the I think there's
a there's most of the times that you know, the
the best man wins, you know what I mean, And
(21:02):
that's how it should be. The you know, the best
writers are signing publishing deals, the best writers are, I mean,
the best artists are signing record deals. But there's also
a lot of independent artists that you know, I would
put up against anybody right that that I think are
very deserving of that of that deal and and just
might not have the opportunity yet. So but you know,
and they're playing, you know, they're trying to survive on
(21:24):
playing you know, shows in town, Broadway or or whatever.
You know, I think that a lot of people think
that artists will move to town and start playing Broadway
to make a living obviously, and and then have time
to write. So I think it's balancing, which they just don't.
So the balancing of that is is pretty you know,
(21:45):
it's pretty tough, right, you know, publishing deals. When you
sign a publishing deal, it's it's not a lot of money,
you know, a couple of grand a month usually in
the beginning, so you know they're having to work, you know,
other jobs and and do things like that. But a
lot of a lot of very talent with an artists
will go on Broadway and kind of get you know,
it's it's it's good money. Those guys are making, you know,
(22:06):
a thousand dollars a night, right, So that kind of
ends up consuming their time more than writing and and
and maybe fulfilling their dreams or chasing their real dream
of being an artist or a or a professional songwriter.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Great explanation. Now, let's go back to July of last year.
My friend dust Off of Me from my Dusty Black
who loved the writing in this one too, and another
just great song that had tremendous lyrics in it, and
I'm sure it had to be just as much fun
to write as it did to record to at the
same time.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, dust Off Me's a great song and uh he
Sanders and Houston Phillips both both wrote that one as well.
It's you know, I think that anybody that's been through
a relationship that you know, or gone through divorce or
you know, gone through a bad breakup and they spend
years and years and years with somebody and then you
(22:55):
know that that automatically ends.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You know, there's there's a you know, the I guess
some some there's some there's some russ that we.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That kind of uh, you know, adds up over time
because we're just kind of you know, broken and not
used to going out and you know, the dating scene
or or or whatever, right, and and it takes a
lot for somebody to kind of, you know, for you
to let somebody in to kind of come and and
love that love that dust off of you, you know
what I mean. And uh, and you know it's uh,
(23:25):
it's just I mean, it's one of my one of
my favorite ballads that I've ever put out, and I
just think it's an incredible song.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
You know, I think that it's an incredible love story
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Great love story song right there too. Of course, all
these songs available Dusty Black dot com and of course
check that out out there across all the digital streaming platforms.

don't want to be right, my friend, you landed a
great one, no doubt about it. For this single. I
love this song and I love the fact that this
is down home to its core country music.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh yeah, you know, I mean, you know, we had
to put John Deere in it, and uh, you know,
talked about the pastor in three sixteen John three sixteen.
But uh, you know, I think that you know, it's
it's like I said, it's one of those songs I
grew up you know, in the middle of in the
middle of nowhere in Arkansas as a young boy.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
And then ended up moving to right.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Outside of Memphis, and you know, just it's one of
those songs that I feel, like, yeah, just to find everything.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
We love and how we grew up and and uh,
you know, if I can't, if I can't be that,
I don't. I don't. I don't want to. I don't
want to be anything at all, you know what I mean.
There's no other choice for me.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
So I think a lot of I think a lot
of country boys and country gals out there agree with me.
And and you know, like I said, this is one
of those that you just you want to turn up,
turn up all the way and roll the windows down
and and uh crank and cloud.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And I want to ask you about collaborations out there too.
It's becoming more and more kind of the norm in
the business now to at the same time you did
one with Gary Levox. I will leave back to call
Somebody's Mama a while back in twenty twenty one off
that to who Are You Epe? Talk about just the
collaborations becoming kind of more of that norm in the business,
and then what it was like to work with one
of the greatest of all time and Gary Laboux, I.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Mean collaborations are obviously, you know, getting bigger and bigger,
and and and I've I've I've got some that we're
we're working on for this year that I'm really excited about.
I can't talk about them yet, but but when I
when I can, I promise you will be the first
to know. But uh, we have you know, obviously Gary
and I both have two daughters. And Somebody's Mama is
just an incredible song about, you know, raising raising those girls,
(30:01):
you know, like not just like little girls, but that
are gonna be somebody's mama some day, and and uh,
you know all the things that that we enjoy, you know,
as fathers, you know, raising him to the little ladies
that they're growing up to be, and his or you know,
Gary and I've been very very good friends for about
ten years now, and uh, you know, his his girls
are grown now, which is which is kind of sad
(30:22):
because mine are on the way you know, minor tend
and thirteen. So I feel like, you know, the last
ten years has just kind of flown by, and and
uh you know that that song makes me, you know,
gives me, uh almost makes me tear up almost every
time I play it on stage, you know, because it's
usually away from him, and and that's you know, that's uh,
that's their song. So we you know, I knew that
when I you know, I knew that there was nobody
(30:44):
else that I wanted on it other than Gary. He
just has, you know, one of the most incredible voices
in country music history. He's very unique and and uh,
I just think he's one of the greatest singers of
all times. And I was I was honored to have
him on that and and I'm blessed to call him
a friend.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I don't put you on the spot here a little
bit too, because I know we've done this before, this
whole backstage past thing. You've been on the radio show,
and I've got to ask you a lot of cool questions.
But this will put you on the spot too. We'll
test the memory right here too, all right, Do you
remember that my favorite Dusty Black song? What year it
came out? And uh, like I said, I want to
talk about the writing of it too, And I want
to see if you remember. It's kind of like a
gut check here, but it was one of the ones
(31:22):
that I streamed over and over again on the station.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'm gonna say right Church for Pew, I now did.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Dude loved it amazing too, you man. You, like I said,
you killed and hit the buzzer right there too, the
golden buzzer. Uh man, just uh what a song, dude,
that was lyrically when you and I first met in
twenty twenty when this came out, Right Church Wrong Pew
loved it so much off of that too for that single, dude,
And that really, I know kind of you know, really
(31:52):
got the wheels really spinning out there for you in
the camp because people, man, they salivated.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Over that tea man. Yeah, man, that's uh. I mean
that's still today one of my favorite songs too.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So so I agree with you man, it's uh, it's
it's a great That was my first that was my
debut single, and you know that was a song that's
you know Jordan good buddy of mine, uh wrote it
and my dad, you know, my my dad was my
dad had just passed away of cancer, but he was
a singer songwriter and spent many nights out on the
(32:23):
back porch with us listening to demos and and going
through songs from you know, not only mine, but guys
like George Birds and Jordan Walker and I'm you know,
I'm Morgan Wall and Dylan Schnyder, among many many others.
And uh and that was his favorite song, and this
is what he wanted me to do, so you know,
I kind of made it a point to to release
(32:43):
that first one, you know, obviously in his honor, and
I released it on the one year anniversary of his passing,
which was really cool.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I love it, man, right Church wrong, Peter, Like I said,
that's always one of those songs that speaks from the heart.
And yet Dusty Black dot com for more information out there,
the tour dates and the merchandise, besure and check it out,
and of course out there the latest single, I don't uh,
I don't want to be right across all those digital
streaming platforms. All right, my friend, let's have a little
fun with this one. Favorite spots to go out and
just have a night on the town. It could be
spots to drink, eat in Nashville, Tennessee. There's no shortage
(33:13):
of them, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I mean, you know, I'm a big fan of a
of a good steak. I'm a I'm kind of a
meat and potatoes kind of guy. And uh, man, you know,
there's there's so many there's over the last like two
years even, I mean, it feels like, you know, our
restaurants have like tripled. But so I'm either a steak
and potato guy and I'm probably gonna go.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
To twelve thirty Supper Club. I just think it has
the best, the.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Best ambiance, and you know, they've got bands that kind
of play that are that are really good.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
But it's also like kind of fine dining. But their
steak is just phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And I eat Mexican food about four times a week.
So uh, after after living in Dallas for ten years, Man,
I don't I don't know what y'all did to me,
but I'm I'm just like addicted to text mechs. And
there's there is a new place actually that that I
was like one of my favorite spots in Dallas called Masero.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
That just opened in twelve South in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
So you know, if you're in Nashville around lunch, maybe
around dinner, you know, happy hour, you can you can
find me at Masaro probably three days a week.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
That's good stuff out there. I gotta try the another
one that some artists have been talking about, especially for
c r. S. Dufty is the bar Taco some great tacos. Yeah, uh,
fantastic there too, So definitely gotta try that one out too.
And of course I still my hot chicken battle. What's
settled over the past couple of trips have done there.
I love Hatty Bees. There's just something about the Hetty
Bees hot chicken that does it for me.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
So yeah, man, they're they're uh, they're the best. They're
the best. You know, it's hard to it's hard to,
you know, stay stay in shape in this town. Man,
with all this, with all this good food, and especially
all the food that's moving in.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You know, I think, you know, I'm I'm gonna have to.
I'm gonna have to get a little handle on it
for for your things to get out of control.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
So no doubt, brother, I'm like you, three four a week,
eat what you want to eat before you paid the
price school the calgories too bad, because it's it's bad,
especially living here in Texas. Barbecue and Mexican food and
whatever you get your hands on down here. Pizza is
one of my favorites. It's hard to just ditch that
and say no. But the food category, we all live
there too, Hey, let's talk about this one. Had you
(35:19):
never become a musician, what other occupation would have been
out there for Dusty black Well.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I also own a company called black Time Moving. I
founded it fourteen years ago. My father owned a separate
moving company that I grew up in. And and you know,
even though I told him, you know, when I graduated
high school, I got hurt playing playing ball and he
was like, well, if you come and I guess you're
gonna come home and run the family business. And I said,
not in a million years, there's no way. And uh,
(35:47):
and you know, ten years later, here, you know, here
I am. But I don't know, man, I think that
I think that, you know, probably i'd probably still be
and I still am, obviously I still in the company.
But you know, it's I love serving people. It's a
way that we can serve people during one of the
(36:07):
most strustful times you know, of their life. They say,
they say, death, divorce, and moving is the three most
stressful things that we'll do. So, you know, I think
it's a great opportunity to serve somebody at the very
high level during one of the most stressful days. And
and uh, I think we do a pretty good job
with that, So I guess you know, if I wouldn't,
if I wasn't doing music, i'd i'd go back to
doing that.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And always good to have a plan. B. But you
know what, you're kicking ass and taking names with all
the great music stuff out there, and I love it,
uh this latest single, I don't want to be right
