(00:56):
Times of wasting well, I'll tell you what I wish
it was wasting out too. But it's go fast. James
Robert Webb to the program. What's up, my friend.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh, I'm great doing I'm doing great brand. Thanks for
having me on. Yeah, time is a waste and it's
a you don't have a lot of spare time right now, right, No,
it's flying by. It's flying by, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Hey, let's start with you and then for the audiences
listening to those different markets out that you'll mentioned at
the top there too, to get powered by the sports
Guys podcast dot com out there too. I want to
get to know you that itch and that crawl and
that said that bike and that music bug whenever it's bit,
you know, remember kind of the details of where you
were kind of when it happened or you know, when
a guitar got put in your hand or playing an instrument.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
When did that music bug bike for you?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I was probably you know, three or four. I remember
playing like, you know, playing on my mom's piano and yeah,
it had to be like four because of where I
was at and listening, you know, listening to like one
of those wired headsets to her eight track of Let's
See Goodbye Yellow Dick Brick Road by Elton John and
(01:57):
Fleetwood Mac Rumors. Those were the she had a but
those were the two that, like I listened to the most.
Those are ones even at four, So that's kind of
when the music bug really Yeah, kind of bit me,
I guess pretty young age.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So as far as instruments go, was it good to
good to talk? I tell my kid this all the time.
Was it instruments for the guitar, the piano? Was it
something that a family member had gotten you when it
came down to playing an instrument too, that really struck
you too as well.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I grew up around a piano,
so I would always just kind of play around on that.
And then I took lessons for a couple of years,
and but just kind of you know, when you can
play by air, you can learn what you can from
the lessons, and then it's kind of like you have to,
you know, make it, add a lot of it on
your own. And I was in band and I got
my first guitar I think when I was about fourteen
from my dad and not really buddy, you know, my
(02:47):
mom played piano, but not really anybody else that was
particularly musical in my family, So you know that that
influence kind of came from friends and trying to figure
out how to play what I was hearing on the
radio and things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, I love those earliest musical memories because that really
shapes you know who you are right now. It varies
from artists to artists and of course different reasons of
why they got into this too. Let me ask you this,
what's been kind of a two part of here? The
best part of doing this mentioned you've been at it
for well over ten years and thore's got to be
a process of going through everything out there too of
being an artist. And then of course what's been the
most challenging part on the flip side.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, you know, I think the coolest thing is to
see you know, like we were talking in the pre
pregame interview about you know, like there's on the highway
to success, there's an exit sign every mile, right, and
so having done it for a decade, you see all
these people that are you know, they their heart lies
elsewhere you know they do it. They may be a
big flash in the pan or whatever and then they
(03:42):
go on and then at the same time you see
people that you've come up with that have also been
there for ten years and it's starting to pop off,
and that that's pretty cool to see people, you know,
see your friends and people you write with and stuff
get more recognition, and just the opportunities that have come along.
Like the longer you stay in the game, you just
get more opportunities, and you know, learning to just kind
(04:04):
of forget about trying to make music for other people
and just try to make music that you love. And
that's kind of been the best thing I've learned lately.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think if.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Looking at challenges, it's always you know, it's a challenge
to keep you know, to do this as like the
second job kind of thing, you know, like trying to
make until the commerce funds the art. You know, you've
got to to build the art up. So that's that's
probably the biggest challenge of Look, I've got a great
day job. I mean I could, you know, I can
just I could stay at home and not do the
(04:35):
music thing. But i mean the music is what I'm
really passionate about, so it's kind of like not a choice.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, it's no play bing when not a choice. I
have a choice to do this radio show or not
to do it. I choose to do it because you
love it. It's addicting and that's that's part of it too.
So it took me back to the album, you know,
ever changing it was twenty twenty on talk about COVID
a lot anymore now that we're what four or five years, Yeah,
removed from it. It's still out there, but you'd put
out an album to at the same time, your self
titled album there too. Some great songs on there too
(05:04):
that I love A good Time Waiting to Happen was
one of my favorites there. They got to look at too,
and then Fucky Whiskey let me get that Chris Straight
on there too. But looking back, I mean, going back
from that album to kind of where you are now
in your career, kind of hit on some highlights of
that record and you get the best memories. And I'm
still a lot of show favorites for the crowd out
there too.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Absolutely, I mean I think that was you know, that
was definitely, you know, a great national album. Buddy Cannon
produced it. You know, Buddy Can's not only great. Kenny
Chesney and you will. Willie Nelson's producer is probably like
the biggest that we can think of in the last
you know, ten years, Like he's their exclusive producer and
he's also in the Songwriting Hall of Fame. You know,
(05:43):
he's just a great guy and superb talent. I think,
you know, one of the cool things about I just
think everything on that album was it was a great song,
but you know, unless you're on a major you don't
get as much exposure and stuff. That's and that's good.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But I think that one of.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The cool things on that album was that technically Willie
Nelson covered a song that I that I that I cut. Now,
I didn't write the song, so it's not technically in
covering mine. But I released the song Stealing Home and
had a number one at Texas with it, and will
I actually cut the song on his last Rose of
(06:17):
Summer album, which is kind of cool. So yeah, that
was fun. And then there's a tech We did like
a throwback kind of Western swing version of Tulsa Time
because Barberion placed tuls the time, but we just kind
of try to do it like, you know, like a
throwback sleep at the Wheel. Bob Wills kind of thing,
and that's been, uh, that's had some legs, and you know,
(06:38):
people still kind of like it, and I think that's
that's gonna end up in a film or TV or
something at some point, you know. So there was a
lot of a lot of good stuff on that album.
I loved it, and but I've kind of, you know,
like you said, since the pandemic and everything, I've just
been you know, working on new stuff. And yeah, so
maybe a little rockier direction. We mentioned, you know before hand,
(07:00):
talking about you know, sports music and stuff that you like,
you know, hear like before the game or whatever, and
so I love that kind of music, and so that's
some of these songs are kind of what I've been,
you know, I've been trying to write things that, yeah,
I'd love to hear this before like you know, the
basketball game, or you know, hear it at the Friday
night football game.
Speaker 4 (07:18):

Speaker 1 (07:18):

We're live at CMA Fest June fifth to eighth. Get

and more to come with all the guests over the
coming weeks. So this one here I mentioned about NASCAR
and Sprint Cup Series. This is phenomenal because not just
start your engines, gentlemen, start your weekends. We got to
(13:29):
dive into this one for me.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, I mean, I think you know. As I started
writing songs and recording stuff for this album. It kind
of came together, as you know, the titles weekend outlaw
this concept of you know, like you're doing your nine
to five grind or you're you know, you're paying the
bills and you've been doing what you gotta do, but
you know, like if you've got go do what you
want on the weekend, right, you know, I kind of
(13:52):
think about like back in you know, in high school,
you get done with classes and you're out, you know,
peeling out of the parking lot with your buddies and
you're going out to you have fun on a Friday night,
and you know, not necessarily about what society says we
should do, you know, but like what you want to do.
You know, like sading makes it say that I need
to go to X, Y or Z, but you know,
(14:13):
I'd like to go out and have some fun. So
I think most people do. And that's that's kind of
what this that song started with. And I think Writer
Died is kind of the same thing, you know, just
kind of spirit of adventure and getting out. I like, look,
I like the road trip. I mean part of that
is you know, music and going out and playing and
I always just like you never know what's around the
corner or over the next till so.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You never know what's around the corner.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
New opportunities are there, and I'm like keep feeling out
of the parking lot back in those high school days,
going to do what you want to do kind of
when you want to do it, and have fun after too.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That's one of the best things to do.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mentioned having those campers and going down like this weekend,
they get down of the beach and have a good
time and plug up and enjoy yourself down there at
the beach. You only live one life, and that's why
I love that gentleman starts your weekend. Hey, tell me
about Lost in Vegas. I love this one too. When
it came out last September, across all the DSPs out
there to another fun song that people can't really just get.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Lost in there.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You go, yeah, I mean I think, you know, I think, uh,
back back when that came out, you could still like
take the song and put it to reels like other
people's reels and stuff. So I like played around and
there's some reels from different casinos that had like their
like really glitzy kind of slick production reels, and like
the song just really fit that. I love Las Vegas,
(15:26):
you know, uh, and it's a fun city and it's
just what you know, that's one of those places you
might want to go on the weekend. I mean, that's
that's a weekend and get away. Yeah, man, it's I
didn't I didn't intend to write it as like a
you know, a casino commercial, but it kind of fits
as kind of fits as one.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So we definitely did get lost in Vegas and all
the casinos out there too on the strip. Hey tell
me about sad boy songs set a different feel too.
It love this one too at the same time, but man,
you put a personal touch on this for the audience too.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Thanks Manu. Yeah, I mean sad Boys song kind of
started started out as look, sad boys songs are not
typically my kind of my kind of vibe, so it
was kind of almost written in a way of you know,
thinking about I don't know, I.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Don't want to name it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't want to name check any artists, but like,
you know, people that have kind of like the kind
of low energy, like really viby stuff Like sometimes that's
it's a little boring to me because you can tell
like song like Gentlemen to start your Weekends or Ride
or Die or Last in Vegas. I kind of like
that tempo, fun, fun stuff, you know, so that you
know sad Boys song, it's like, yeah, I mean you
(16:30):
don't even have to It's it's about the emotion of
the music, right, Like, that's why people love sad songs.
Speaker 11 (16:36):
You know, was that was that?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Who had that song? Sad songs means so much? Was
that Elton John? You know, people love it because it's
the emotion and that's you know, the guy gets guys
on stage, you get into singing it and everybody's like
singing along. So that's kind of what I wrote the
song about. Maybe I'm also a little jealous of them.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
The process of songwriting, let's dive into that too, kind
of what makes you tick as people go through that
process or different ideas, different storytelling formats, things that come
to mind, you know, fantasy stuff or just things that
real situations that happened that they can put pen to paper.
Kind of that that process of going through it is
it almost like therapy.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
For you, totally like therapy. I mean many times it
is therapy. Like I've written so many songs that are
just like therapy. That and some of them may you know,
like most of the songs you write you never see
the light of day. But occasionally you'll you know, mix
someone that is therapeutic to you that you know ends
up being uh, you know, ends up being one of
(17:32):
the good songs you might release, you know, and you
hope for that. But yeah, therapy, uh yeah, it's a
great substitute for therapy.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But the songwriting process, I mean, they all kind of come.
I love people that write different things, and you mentioned,
like it can be fantasy, like what's that song up
up and a way in my Beautiful Balloon? I think
that's the Jimmy Webb long. It's like, you know, like
people don't write songs like that as much anymore. So
I've gotten into trying to write write things like that
as well. So in Nashville, it tends to be like
(18:03):
a story that people can follow and you know, a
little kid can fall along and you don't have to be,
you know, a Harvard graduate to understand what the what
the song's about or to guess about it. But then
I think, and I enjoy those kind of songs, and
I love that kind of songwriting. But you know, there's
a lot of songs that are just a little bit
more vague, like we will rock you, right, you know,
(18:25):
I mean it doesn't have to spell everything. It doesn't
have to be a you know, linear story. Sometimes those
songs that end up in like your favorite movie or something,
or just maybe more about the the vibe and not
necessarily the storytelling.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, that's the feel of it. Someone give that storytelling
aspects some of the vibe you mentioned we will rock you.
Things like that that kind of come off to you.
I love like queen songs that don't have to really
and they still mean something out there too from the
storytelling aspect of it. But queen songs from those first
few beats and like instrumentation, you're like, this can go,
like you said, sports anthem or something, or get out
there to you know, to do more things and hit
people in a different way. Just any anthem that's a
(19:01):
rock anthem too. It feels feels good and let you hate,
pour back your favorite beverage, and I get out there
and do what you want to do. Start those weekends
on a Friday night, Hey from the writer, or die
you people before I kick off that song, and I
can't wait to just intro that song too, because the
way you put your spin on it two, which was
so so cool. They're almost some singing it in my
head as I'm talking about it here. Love Sick Drifting Cowboy.
I gotta get the story behind this one off that ep.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, thank you so much. I love that song to me.
It was kind of you know, it's kind of a
blue song, and it's in a way it's a pop
song because it's kind of written about Hank william Senior.
And I always tell people, like especially people that say
that they don't like country rap. I mean, you know,
I don't really do country rap, But when people say
(19:45):
they don't like country rap, I'm like, you don't like
Johnny Cash, because like Johnny Cash was all like rap
song but pretty straight. But or if they don't like
country pop and they say, I will be like, who
is your favorite artist? Well, like Hank Williams Senior, I'm like, well, hey,
Williams Senior was like just a pop star. I mean
it was just you know, with a steel guitar, basically
(20:05):
like John Balayah, hey, good looking Lizer. All those are
all just kind of blues pop songs, so uh, it
kind of you know, fit that format as well, but
also kind of evokes that outlaw imagery of you know,
he was a badass, and I think a lot of
times when people talk about outlaw country, they try to
(20:26):
they try to be a badass, or they try to
you know, like wear black leather and like act like
they're going hard all the time or whatever. But outlaw
is really more about being true to yourself to me, like,
you know, not caring about the opinions of others. But
that doesn't mean that you're you know, you have a
death wish necessarily. But but I think, you know, the
(20:47):
way that Hank Williams's life kind of ended tragically, that
kind of, you know, there's a little essence of that.
And anybody that's kind of adventurous and daring or following
their dreams, there's a little bit of Devil may care.
And you know, I may not get out of this
world alive, but I'm gonna, you know, hopefully, I'm gonna
leave my marker go do what I'm feel like I'm
(21:08):
on this earth.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
For That's the purpose of it right there, too, is
what is our purpose?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And that kind of thing too and I love that
one too, love sick drifting cowboy right there and man
assuming its sentimental aspect to it. So if you guys

James Robert Webb on the show Ride or Die and
my friend y'all have a lot of fun with this song.
The up tempo feel of it and something you could
take on the highway driving that truck or in my
case of Toyota tundra. I'm afraid you out there. This
is a fun song and it really explains life, doesn't it.
Speaker 12 (27:35):
He does? Man?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean, goodness, gracious, you know, the whole phrase rider Die, right,
I mean, that's just become such a huge thing, and
you know, it has kind of too, you know, the
two big meetings of like you know your bestie or
you know the person you love or whatever, or you know,
also kind of like in gangster and gangster stuff. So
I just love the way that that term kind of
(27:58):
originated kind of more as like, uh, you know, an
outlaw thing that's kind of been co opted and everybody, like,
you know, soccer moms are using it now because she's
my ride or I you know, so well, yeah, I
just love the visuals in this one about it just
kind of goes on with that, you know, going out
there a sense of expiration in the open road. Uh,
you know the feeling you get when you're just pushed
(28:19):
the pedal down or whatever and sharing it with somebody
whether you know, maybe that's Brenda Lee.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Hobbing on the back of the fat.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
I love.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Brenda Lee is a sweetheart. Have you remet her? I
have not.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I've seen her in person, we never have met. This
could be the first time she comes up to like
just above my belly button. She is a sweetheart though,
and she's she's like to be such a huge star.
She's like, yeah, she's a real sweetheart. So, like I
said out there too, it's going to be a good
time in John Barry's all good times.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You're in Nashville, Tennessee. It's all good times for seeing
it's the biggest weekend, like I said, in Nashville's tenure
for that entire year two and we're just excited to
be a part of that too. June fifth to eighth,
there too at the Music City Center the fifth of
the seventh, and at the eighth at the Grand Old
Operations for the Sunday Morning Country Event, the forty third annual,
and Ford Brentant's going to be there. We'll be out
doing a lot of social media advertising for that. Put
out the rest of that lineup too. But that's the
(29:12):
biggest week, like I said, nationwide for a country music festival,
and it gets presented by the Caden Gordon Show, dot com,
Today's Best Country Banks and our friends at all about
r vs Larry for Dream three three seven eight five
three zero six three eight here too, Hey talk about
for many Times of Wasted when it came out there
early part of March, kind of a just a really
cool spin you put on this song, and it's kind
of a storytelling aspect of it because you know, people
(29:34):
look back, James, and that's the true statement Times of
Wasted it is.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, for me, it's
about a guy that knows what he wants and once
he figures it out, he doesn't want to win tas
any time, right, So you know in the song, the
guy may have you know, maybe he's got a girl
that he's you know, maybe he's been dating the girl
and he's like, okay, well she's the one, so you know,
love me or leave me, you know, let's let's put
(29:58):
this in the next gear me lose.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's the best part about it again. All the music
streaming out there across all the DSPs, and of course
all the songs we're talking about the Rider Dot EP
are out there too.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I love this one.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You put it out as a single, and I think
added it to the EP if I remember correctly. Buenos
nochezna oches. And I'm down here in Texas, so I
know not och is very well.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
My Spanish is not great. Did I hit that on
the nail?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, it's out. I mean it's better in my Spanish,
you know, I think I think, you know, if you
want to know, you guys want some inside information here,
like this is totally like if you're if you speak Spanish,
the title is you have to bleep me on as
messed up. But uh, you know, I I it was
the buenos is spelled wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It's like with an O or a A.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
It's supposed to be the other way for not ches,
but uh, I always say it that way, so I
spelled it that way. So luckily no Spanish teachers have
been attacking me or doc sing me online.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
But uh, you know, my.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Wife is from not too far from there, like a
north farther north in Texas, like in the Lone Oak Areas.
So that's a beautiful part of the state, man, I
mean the whole eastern East Texas.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
But I mean there was a after I released this,
I saw there is an there's an old song from
the fifties or sixties called Buenas just Nacadoches. I can't
remember who, if it was Bobby Bear or somebody like that,
but completely different by this is about trying. I mean,
this song is really you know, it's probably about, oh,
(31:21):
you know, being in the throes of a love you
can't get out of.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Maybe maybe it's an obsession, or maybe it's a diction.
I don't know, you know, maybe it's something you can't
get out of your mind, or the one that got away.
I'm not sure, but it's pretty viby.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for things for mention
on that one.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I dig it.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
All right, we go back to some old school JRW
here now for James Robert Webb. But let's see if
you can guess what song I'm gonna be thinking about
here too. This was a twenty fifteen album. That's where
I tell people we dive into the homework here twenty
sixteen albums somewhere in there fifteen sixty right now, there
were two songs that struck me too to put on
my playlist. Putting on my playlist, I recommend everybody else
(32:01):
do the same thing too.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
It's funky. How about this? Now we're diving in some
good stuff here? Okay, all right? The first one is
Party in the Barn.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Oh yeah, I love part you know. Party in the
Barn is one of my favorites because it was kind
of written around the town of Kelly Bill. There's a
you know, there's an Indian road there and you know anyway, yeah, yeah,
so all my friends and my Creek County crew as
I call them, love that song. So it was one
of the first ones I wrote as a you know,
(32:32):
for that album too. You know, that was kind of
a solo, right, So yeah, it's always a special one.
I love that one, Thank you someone.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And the second one is because we all want to
do it. Hey, Daddy made a million. I won't make
a million one day too, and I know you will too,
because hey, Daddy can do it, we can do it too, right,
that's right. If Daddy can do it exactly, that's right,
if Daddy can do, it's because Mama was helping him.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Probably. Yeah. I love that song because it's just that was.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Written by a friend. It's incredible writer Alex Dooley, who
who I write with him a lot. But that's actually
how our writing. I got pitched that song by his
previous publisher and then we started writing together quite a bit.
So Alex is my co writer on you know, on
like a lot of songs like American Beauty. He was
he wrote we wrote Gentlemen, start your weekends. In fact, Alex,
(33:18):
who wrote Danny Made a Million, was the one who
we both finished writing one day on music Row. It
was a Friday, you know, it was Friday, around noon
and we didn't have afternoon appointments and and uh and
he said, well, gentlemen, start your weekends. And I said,
not yet, because I've been waiting for a hook and
this is that's exactly what what this song called for.
(33:41):
So yeah, that's funny. Yeah, Daddy Made a Million. I
love that song. I mean, that's just very I think
it's really well written. It's a traditional country song. It's
kind of like we kind of did it with almost
a little bluegrass kind of Americana feel on that and yeah,
well thanks, I'm glad you put that on your playlist.
Thanks for shound that out. I know Alex will love
(34:02):
to hear that too.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, you got to do stuff like that too, Like
I said, when you dive in deep to these things,
to do your homework as the key to any radio
show out there too. At the same time, getting to
know your guests before you do the interviews out there too.
You know it makes me feel like too when you
said that, gentleman, start your weekends and the ride or Die.
It's really see a lot of this music or if
you hadn't been approached by or if you want to
approach it to any type of movies out there. But
the one I was thinking of too was a big
(34:23):
fan of this too. I was gonna ask your favorite
movie in our rapid fire segment, but for me, one
of the all time greats is Talladega Knights, and that
was just something because just fun out there to do it,
because if you're not first, your last, the whole classic
line too, and of course what we'll mention that movie.
I could really see your music like really in a
film like Talladega Knights. So if you're approached, man, need
to go for it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Oh, it's totally you know, like if we can make
the sequel to Talladega Knights and get gentlemen to start
your weekends and ride or die like I've been basically
that ep is could I didn't think about it, but
it could basically be the soundtrack to Talladega Knights Part two,
Part two.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, I'll come at you like a spider monkey if
you try to keep me off that soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I would love to see that if they ever make
a second one.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I mean, I'm look, I mean, he's very polarizing, but
I'm a huge Will Ferreo fan, you know, like from
from Angrim and actually old School. You know, we're we're
streaking honey, the It doesn't hard that he looks like
Chad Smith the drummer.
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, it's a fun time to do those movies. Hey,
speaking of food or two and I'll get gets closer too.
But food, man, I've been throwing at so many restaurants
up there, and every time I go back for a
CRS or a c a week. It is fun to
go out there and check on the food in town
because I'm so much foodie, love it a barbecue or
whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Where are some of your spots to to go hang
out in Nashville to eat that?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, there's so many great places it's hard to narrow
down right, you know, and most of the great ones
have kind of been co opted by the tourist industry,
you know, like the pharmacy and things, you know, and
just across the street at uh, I forget the name
of the place with all the has the food court
basically like the three levels and you can go to
basically all these different places. That's that's a great one,
(36:10):
I think. Uh, you know, my favorite from a foodie perspective,
My my family's favorite place to go is chawn Alehouse,
which is Indian if you like Indian food. It's the
the neat Chawn from the Food Network and like that
place is like maybe the best Indian restaurant I've ever
been to. And in Nashville actually has a couple of
(36:30):
great Indian places. Local is a great place.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I think.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
My favorite place to go and listen to music in food,
it's probably the Local. That's that's a great spot.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah, to get some of these recommendations from me on
just like I said, text message or something like save
all these if I can get to a bunch of
these coming up for the week there too. We're gonna
try to get to a few of these that we can.
You know, it might be over maybe overrun. Some of
these places may be overrun during see Mayfest. Browns Hamburger
stand is still. I mean that's been you know, an
industry stable since the you know, I can't of like
(37:06):
the seventies or something, I think, but they I mean,
there's there's a reason it's a great burger and you
know walking Yeah, I'm like always up for good hamburger.
So I will definitely take that one of your recommendation
that just I took itself and trump's the rest and
goes to the top of the list right there.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
So I'm looking forward to a good hamburger spot out
there too.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Hey, when you get some hobbies and kind of some
downtime out there too, and having that free time when
you're not touring and doing music, and I say hobbies
and that word what do you like to do for fun?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Extracurricular activities?
Speaker 1 (37:36):
What do I like to do for fun? You know,
I well, you know, between the doctoring and the and
the music, that kind of takes up a lot of
my time. But like we you know, we love to
go Me and my kids love to go swimming. We
like to travel, you know, whenever we can't like not
on band travel like going you know, special places, uh.
And you know, I just really like spend time with
(37:57):
my kids, as you know, is the number one thing
right now because they're all kind of you know, from
fourteen to twenty one, so.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Doing what they want to do, so great agents do
right there.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I just have one, she's five, and she's now getting
into kindergarten and she's got, like I said, learning to
do all her reading and writing and her shapes and
everything out there too. But she's got that creative mind
right now. And it's always those fun ages too. You
went through, so you know what I'm talking about. There's
always exploring stage and now going to kindergarten. It's always
fun because that's my ride or die right there too.
I love it because I love being with her in
(38:30):
the spare time, which I don't get a lot of,
but it's it's kind of cool to have like the
evenings with her and take her swim lessons and all
the things she's into it.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
It's a pretty cool feeling, it really is. It's great.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
And then you know, if you want, like if I'm
when the kids are better or whatever, what I'm doing,
you know, I'm watching you know, I'm watching movies like
you know, I love you know, comedy movies, or I
tend to like if I find a series I like,
I'd rather rewatch it than watch something new, take a
chance on something new, So I you know, I'm a
what rewatch of Thrones? Or there's this Scottish BBC show
(39:04):
still Game on Netflix that I that I love, or
you know they play, you know, be a gamer. I
still play like Diablo two and stuff like that sometimes.
So if I'm not reading or drawing.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Or something, that's a great idea that you got right
there to kind of just start that Game of Thrones
thing again and right, yeah, just it's cool.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It's just fun to that's like fun.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I mean, it's just a good series to get inside
your head and to watch it, and great storytelling and
acting in it too. And I was thinking of I
know the new season's out now too, but I'm like,
you'll like to binge watch stuff, or watch the new
season on something.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
The Last of Us is out there too, Have you
seen any of that.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I haven't watched that now. I was looking at tune
fine and like most of the music in there, I've
I've I dig so I've got it. That's on my
list to watch. We've been watching ted Lasso, like that's
one thing that the whole on Apple Apple TV is
kind of like to Apple TV that like that ted Lasso.
It's such a feel good it's so positive. It's just
(40:02):
it's a rarity these days. So that's pretty cool. And
then on the flip side, you know me and my
my uh my son, like he love's mind Hunter or
you know, like serial killer stuff. So like one of
his favorite movies is Once upon a Time in Hollywood,
you know the Tarantino movies.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I love some Quentin Tarantino, my friend, no love that
one of the best of all time directors. Hey, so
I'm excited about this, uh for my part of the
little Beaumont, Texas down here too, small town near Houston.
So I'm going to dinner tonight. It's like the grand
opening of the place. But I was gonna ask you
because it can't come from it's a new question in
my mind. I love just sandwiches. I'm simple like that too.
You have to have a but a sandwich shop is
(40:41):
coming here by the name of Jersey Mike's. I'm sure
you've heard of that too, my favorite sandwich shop. So
I'm excited about that. I'm coming there.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
What's your favorite sandwich shop? Is it Jersey Mike's or
is it something else?
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Oh? I tend to try to avoid bread. But at
the same time, like when everybody's ordering in or something
take out, I'm like, I'm just get a sandwich, Like
I'm a better sandwich at home.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Right.
Speaker 11 (41:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
My son loves Capriotti's, which is like I think from Connecticut,
and they're pretty good. But I you know, mcallisters is
probably one of my go to I mean, that's the chain.
But if we're going to a chain, you know, it's
usually McAllister's. But yeah, I don't know. I mean that's uh,
I think I think I make a mean sandwich. You know,
(41:24):
I'd rather I'd rather slice up some tomato and you know,
put the mayo and and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
And so I'm up for like a sandwich challenge. Here
on on the backstage, pass with James Robert Webb, like
he makes the sandwich, I try it on air and
I expose it to everybody out there and tell him
how good it is. That's right.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
We could totally do it like yeah, it's regularly like
on a turkey sandwiches. And you know, I like to
use either either a horse radish, you know, like a
creamy horse radish thing, or like a kind of basil
pesto thing.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Okay, so we.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Gotta do a sandwich sandwich challenge here and if he
if we do it at c A fest, if you're
hanging around there too, and you want to come down
and hang out with us there too, and we eat
on the air like this video thing, and of course
radio live radio we can can arrange that.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Have a totally be fun. And then you have to
then you have to describe it as you for the
people who are just listening right as well, so.

Hey, let's start with you and then for the audiences
listening to those different markets out that you'll mentioned at
the top there too, to get powered by the sports
Guys podcast dot com out there too. I want to
get to know you that itch and that crawl and
that said that bike and that music bug whenever it's bit,
you know, remember kind of the details of where you
were kind of when it happened or you know, when
a guitar got put in your hand or playing an instrument.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
When did that music bug bike for you?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I was probably you know, three or four. I remember
playing like, you know, playing on my mom's piano and yeah,
it had to be like four because of where I
was at and listening, you know, listening to like one
of those wired headsets to her eight track of Let's
See Goodbye Yellow Dick Brick Road by Elton John and
(01:57):
Fleetwood Mac Rumors. Those were the she had a but
those were the two that, like I listened to the most.
Those are ones even at four, So that's kind of
when the music bug really Yeah, kind of bit me,
I guess pretty young age.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
So as far as instruments go, was it good to
good to talk? I tell my kid this all the time.
Was it instruments for the guitar, the piano? Was it
something that a family member had gotten you when it
came down to playing an instrument too, that really struck
you too as well.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I grew up around a piano,
so I would always just kind of play around on that.
And then I took lessons for a couple of years,
and but just kind of you know, when you can
play by air, you can learn what you can from
the lessons, and then it's kind of like you have to,
you know, make it, add a lot of it on
your own. And I was in band and I got
my first guitar I think when I was about fourteen
from my dad and not really buddy, you know, my
(02:47):
mom played piano, but not really anybody else that was
particularly musical in my family, So you know that that
influence kind of came from friends and trying to figure
out how to play what I was hearing on the
radio and things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, I love those earliest musical memories because that really
shapes you know who you are right now. It varies
from artists to artists and of course different reasons of
why they got into this too. Let me ask you this,
what's been kind of a two part of here? The
best part of doing this mentioned you've been at it
for well over ten years and thore's got to be
a process of going through everything out there too of
being an artist. And then of course what's been the
most challenging part on the flip side.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, you know, I think the coolest thing is to
see you know, like we were talking in the pre
pregame interview about you know, like there's on the highway
to success, there's an exit sign every mile, right, and
so having done it for a decade, you see all
these people that are you know, they their heart lies
elsewhere you know they do it. They may be a
big flash in the pan or whatever and then they
(03:42):
go on and then at the same time you see
people that you've come up with that have also been
there for ten years and it's starting to pop off,
and that that's pretty cool to see people, you know,
see your friends and people you write with and stuff
get more recognition, and just the opportunities that have come along.
Like the longer you stay in the game, you just
get more opportunities, and you know, learning to just kind
(04:04):
of forget about trying to make music for other people
and just try to make music that you love. And
that's kind of been the best thing I've learned lately.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think if.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Looking at challenges, it's always you know, it's a challenge
to keep you know, to do this as like the
second job kind of thing, you know, like trying to
make until the commerce funds the art. You know, you've
got to to build the art up. So that's that's
probably the biggest challenge of Look, I've got a great
day job. I mean I could, you know, I can
just I could stay at home and not do the
(04:35):
music thing. But i mean the music is what I'm
really passionate about, so it's kind of like not a choice.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, it's no play bing when not a choice. I
have a choice to do this radio show or not
to do it. I choose to do it because you
love it. It's addicting and that's that's part of it too.
So it took me back to the album, you know,
ever changing it was twenty twenty on talk about COVID
a lot anymore now that we're what four or five years, Yeah,
removed from it. It's still out there, but you'd put
out an album to at the same time, your self
titled album there too. Some great songs on there too
(05:04):
that I love A good Time Waiting to Happen was
one of my favorites there. They got to look at too,
and then Fucky Whiskey let me get that Chris Straight
on there too. But looking back, I mean, going back
from that album to kind of where you are now
in your career, kind of hit on some highlights of
that record and you get the best memories. And I'm
still a lot of show favorites for the crowd out
there too.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Absolutely, I mean I think that was you know, that
was definitely, you know, a great national album. Buddy Cannon
produced it. You know, Buddy Can's not only great. Kenny
Chesney and you will. Willie Nelson's producer is probably like
the biggest that we can think of in the last
you know, ten years, Like he's their exclusive producer and
he's also in the Songwriting Hall of Fame. You know,
(05:43):
he's just a great guy and superb talent. I think,
you know, one of the cool things about I just
think everything on that album was it was a great song,
but you know, unless you're on a major you don't
get as much exposure and stuff. That's and that's good.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
But I think that one of.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The cool things on that album was that technically Willie
Nelson covered a song that I that I that I cut. Now,
I didn't write the song, so it's not technically in
covering mine. But I released the song Stealing Home and
had a number one at Texas with it, and will
I actually cut the song on his last Rose of
(06:17):
Summer album, which is kind of cool. So yeah, that
was fun. And then there's a tech We did like
a throwback kind of Western swing version of Tulsa Time
because Barberion placed tuls the time, but we just kind
of try to do it like, you know, like a
throwback sleep at the Wheel. Bob Wills kind of thing,
and that's been, uh, that's had some legs, and you know,
(06:38):
people still kind of like it, and I think that's
that's gonna end up in a film or TV or
something at some point, you know. So there was a
lot of a lot of good stuff on that album.
I loved it, and but I've kind of, you know,
like you said, since the pandemic and everything, I've just
been you know, working on new stuff. And yeah, so
maybe a little rockier direction. We mentioned, you know before hand,
(07:00):
talking about you know, sports music and stuff that you like,
you know, hear like before the game or whatever, and
so I love that kind of music, and so that's
some of these songs are kind of what I've been,
you know, I've been trying to write things that, yeah,
I'd love to hear this before like you know, the
basketball game, or you know, hear it at the Friday
night football game.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So so we'll see. We're crossing our fingers.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Baby, we gotta play that one too.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And I tell you what, I'm a big, like I said,
NASCAR fan out there the Sprint NASCAR Cup series. I
love that one too, And we got to get this
one out there too, because it was on the rider

We're live at CMA Fest June fifth to eighth. Get

and more to come with all the guests over the
coming weeks. So this one here I mentioned about NASCAR
and Sprint Cup Series. This is phenomenal because not just
start your engines, gentlemen, start your weekends. We got to
(13:29):
dive into this one for me.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, I mean, I think you know. As I started
writing songs and recording stuff for this album. It kind
of came together, as you know, the titles weekend outlaw
this concept of you know, like you're doing your nine
to five grind or you're you know, you're paying the
bills and you've been doing what you gotta do, but
you know, like if you've got go do what you
want on the weekend, right, you know, I kind of
(13:52):
think about like back in you know, in high school,
you get done with classes and you're out, you know,
peeling out of the parking lot with your buddies and
you're going out to you have fun on a Friday night,
and you know, not necessarily about what society says we
should do, you know, but like what you want to do.
You know, like sading makes it say that I need
to go to X, Y or Z, but you know,
(14:13):
I'd like to go out and have some fun. So
I think most people do. And that's that's kind of
what this that song started with. And I think Writer
Died is kind of the same thing, you know, just
kind of spirit of adventure and getting out. I like, look,
I like the road trip. I mean part of that
is you know, music and going out and playing and
I always just like you never know what's around the
corner or over the next till so.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You never know what's around the corner.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
New opportunities are there, and I'm like keep feeling out
of the parking lot back in those high school days,
going to do what you want to do kind of
when you want to do it, and have fun after too.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That's one of the best things to do.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mentioned having those campers and going down like this weekend,
they get down of the beach and have a good
time and plug up and enjoy yourself down there at
the beach. You only live one life, and that's why
I love that gentleman starts your weekend. Hey, tell me
about Lost in Vegas. I love this one too. When
it came out last September, across all the DSPs out
there to another fun song that people can't really just get.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Lost in there.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You go, yeah, I mean I think, you know, I think, uh,
back back when that came out, you could still like
take the song and put it to reels like other
people's reels and stuff. So I like played around and
there's some reels from different casinos that had like their
like really glitzy kind of slick production reels, and like
the song just really fit that. I love Las Vegas,
(15:26):
you know, uh, and it's a fun city and it's
just what you know, that's one of those places you
might want to go on the weekend. I mean, that's
that's a weekend and get away. Yeah, man, it's I
didn't I didn't intend to write it as like a
you know, a casino commercial, but it kind of fits
as kind of fits as one.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So we definitely did get lost in Vegas and all
the casinos out there too on the strip. Hey tell
me about sad boy songs set a different feel too.
It love this one too at the same time, but man,
you put a personal touch on this for the audience too.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Thanks Manu. Yeah, I mean sad Boys song kind of
started started out as look, sad boys songs are not
typically my kind of my kind of vibe, so it
was kind of almost written in a way of you know,
thinking about I don't know, I.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Don't want to name it.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't want to name check any artists, but like,
you know, people that have kind of like the kind
of low energy, like really viby stuff Like sometimes that's
it's a little boring to me because you can tell
like song like Gentlemen to start your Weekends or Ride
or Die or Last in Vegas. I kind of like
that tempo, fun, fun stuff, you know, so that you
know sad Boys song, it's like, yeah, I mean you
(16:30):
don't even have to It's it's about the emotion of
the music, right, Like, that's why people love sad songs.
Speaker 11 (16:36):
You know, was that was that?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Who had that song? Sad songs means so much? Was
that Elton John? You know, people love it because it's
the emotion and that's you know, the guy gets guys
on stage, you get into singing it and everybody's like
singing along. So that's kind of what I wrote the
song about. Maybe I'm also a little jealous of them.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
The process of songwriting, let's dive into that too, kind
of what makes you tick as people go through that
process or different ideas, different storytelling formats, things that come
to mind, you know, fantasy stuff or just things that
real situations that happened that they can put pen to paper.
Kind of that that process of going through it is
it almost like therapy.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
For you, totally like therapy. I mean many times it
is therapy. Like I've written so many songs that are
just like therapy. That and some of them may you know,
like most of the songs you write you never see
the light of day. But occasionally you'll you know, mix
someone that is therapeutic to you that you know ends
up being uh, you know, ends up being one of
(17:32):
the good songs you might release, you know, and you
hope for that. But yeah, therapy, uh yeah, it's a
great substitute for therapy.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But the songwriting process, I mean, they all kind of come.
I love people that write different things, and you mentioned,
like it can be fantasy, like what's that song up
up and a way in my Beautiful Balloon? I think
that's the Jimmy Webb long. It's like, you know, like
people don't write songs like that as much anymore. So
I've gotten into trying to write write things like that
as well. So in Nashville, it tends to be like
(18:03):
a story that people can follow and you know, a
little kid can fall along and you don't have to be,
you know, a Harvard graduate to understand what the what
the song's about or to guess about it. But then
I think, and I enjoy those kind of songs, and
I love that kind of songwriting. But you know, there's
a lot of songs that are just a little bit
more vague, like we will rock you, right, you know,
(18:25):
I mean it doesn't have to spell everything. It doesn't
have to be a you know, linear story. Sometimes those
songs that end up in like your favorite movie or something,
or just maybe more about the the vibe and not
necessarily the storytelling.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, that's the feel of it. Someone give that storytelling
aspects some of the vibe you mentioned we will rock you.
Things like that that kind of come off to you.
I love like queen songs that don't have to really
and they still mean something out there too from the
storytelling aspect of it. But queen songs from those first
few beats and like instrumentation, you're like, this can go,
like you said, sports anthem or something, or get out
there to you know, to do more things and hit
people in a different way. Just any anthem that's a
(19:01):
rock anthem too. It feels feels good and let you hate,
pour back your favorite beverage, and I get out there
and do what you want to do. Start those weekends
on a Friday night, Hey from the writer, or die
you people before I kick off that song, and I
can't wait to just intro that song too, because the
way you put your spin on it two, which was
so so cool. They're almost some singing it in my
head as I'm talking about it here. Love Sick Drifting Cowboy.
I gotta get the story behind this one off that ep.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, thank you so much. I love that song to me.
It was kind of you know, it's kind of a
blue song, and it's in a way it's a pop
song because it's kind of written about Hank william Senior.
And I always tell people, like especially people that say
that they don't like country rap. I mean, you know,
I don't really do country rap, But when people say
(19:45):
they don't like country rap, I'm like, you don't like
Johnny Cash, because like Johnny Cash was all like rap
song but pretty straight. But or if they don't like
country pop and they say, I will be like, who
is your favorite artist? Well, like Hank Williams Senior, I'm like, well, hey,
Williams Senior was like just a pop star. I mean
it was just you know, with a steel guitar, basically
(20:05):
like John Balayah, hey, good looking Lizer. All those are
all just kind of blues pop songs, so uh, it
kind of you know, fit that format as well, but
also kind of evokes that outlaw imagery of you know,
he was a badass, and I think a lot of
times when people talk about outlaw country, they try to
(20:26):
they try to be a badass, or they try to
you know, like wear black leather and like act like
they're going hard all the time or whatever. But outlaw
is really more about being true to yourself to me, like,
you know, not caring about the opinions of others. But
that doesn't mean that you're you know, you have a
death wish necessarily. But but I think, you know, the
(20:47):
way that Hank Williams's life kind of ended tragically, that
kind of, you know, there's a little essence of that.
And anybody that's kind of adventurous and daring or following
their dreams, there's a little bit of Devil may care.
And you know, I may not get out of this
world alive, but I'm gonna, you know, hopefully, I'm gonna
leave my marker go do what I'm feel like I'm
(21:08):
on this earth.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
For That's the purpose of it right there, too, is
what is our purpose?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And that kind of thing too and I love that
one too, love sick drifting cowboy right there and man
assuming its sentimental aspect to it. So if you guys

James Robert Webb on the show Ride or Die and
my friend y'all have a lot of fun with this song.
The up tempo feel of it and something you could
take on the highway driving that truck or in my
case of Toyota tundra. I'm afraid you out there. This
is a fun song and it really explains life, doesn't it.
Speaker 12 (27:35):
He does? Man?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean, goodness, gracious, you know, the whole phrase rider Die, right,
I mean, that's just become such a huge thing, and
you know, it has kind of too, you know, the
two big meetings of like you know your bestie or
you know the person you love or whatever, or you know,
also kind of like in gangster and gangster stuff. So
I just love the way that that term kind of
(27:58):
originated kind of more as like, uh, you know, an
outlaw thing that's kind of been co opted and everybody, like,
you know, soccer moms are using it now because she's
my ride or I you know, so well, yeah, I
just love the visuals in this one about it just
kind of goes on with that, you know, going out
there a sense of expiration in the open road. Uh,
you know the feeling you get when you're just pushed
(28:19):
the pedal down or whatever and sharing it with somebody
whether you know, maybe that's Brenda Lee.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Hobbing on the back of the fat.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
I love.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Brenda Lee is a sweetheart. Have you remet her? I
have not.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I've seen her in person, we never have met. This
could be the first time she comes up to like
just above my belly button. She is a sweetheart though,
and she's she's like to be such a huge star.
She's like, yeah, she's a real sweetheart. So, like I
said out there too, it's going to be a good
time in John Barry's all good times.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You're in Nashville, Tennessee. It's all good times for seeing
it's the biggest weekend, like I said, in Nashville's tenure
for that entire year two and we're just excited to
be a part of that too. June fifth to eighth,
there too at the Music City Center the fifth of
the seventh, and at the eighth at the Grand Old
Operations for the Sunday Morning Country Event, the forty third annual,
and Ford Brentant's going to be there. We'll be out
doing a lot of social media advertising for that. Put
out the rest of that lineup too. But that's the
(29:12):
biggest week, like I said, nationwide for a country music festival,
and it gets presented by the Caden Gordon Show, dot com,
Today's Best Country Banks and our friends at all about
r vs Larry for Dream three three seven eight five
three zero six three eight here too, Hey talk about
for many Times of Wasted when it came out there
early part of March, kind of a just a really
cool spin you put on this song, and it's kind
of a storytelling aspect of it because you know, people
(29:34):
look back, James, and that's the true statement Times of
Wasted it is.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, for me, it's
about a guy that knows what he wants and once
he figures it out, he doesn't want to win tas
any time, right, So you know in the song, the
guy may have you know, maybe he's got a girl
that he's you know, maybe he's been dating the girl
and he's like, okay, well she's the one, so you know,
love me or leave me, you know, let's let's put
(29:58):
this in the next gear me lose.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That's the best part about it again. All the music
streaming out there across all the DSPs, and of course
all the songs we're talking about the Rider Dot EP
are out there too.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
I love this one.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You put it out as a single, and I think
added it to the EP if I remember correctly. Buenos
nochezna oches. And I'm down here in Texas, so I
know not och is very well.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
My Spanish is not great. Did I hit that on
the nail?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, it's out. I mean it's better in my Spanish,
you know, I think I think, you know, if you
want to know, you guys want some inside information here,
like this is totally like if you're if you speak Spanish,
the title is you have to bleep me on as
messed up. But uh, you know, I I it was
the buenos is spelled wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
It's like with an O or a A.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
It's supposed to be the other way for not ches,
but uh, I always say it that way, so I
spelled it that way. So luckily no Spanish teachers have
been attacking me or doc sing me online.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
But uh, you know, my.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Wife is from not too far from there, like a
north farther north in Texas, like in the Lone Oak Areas.
So that's a beautiful part of the state, man, I
mean the whole eastern East Texas.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
But I mean there was a after I released this,
I saw there is an there's an old song from
the fifties or sixties called Buenas just Nacadoches. I can't
remember who, if it was Bobby Bear or somebody like that,
but completely different by this is about trying. I mean,
this song is really you know, it's probably about, oh,
(31:21):
you know, being in the throes of a love you
can't get out of.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Maybe maybe it's an obsession, or maybe it's a diction.
I don't know, you know, maybe it's something you can't
get out of your mind, or the one that got away.
I'm not sure, but it's pretty viby.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for things for mention
on that one.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I dig it.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
All right, we go back to some old school JRW
here now for James Robert Webb. But let's see if
you can guess what song I'm gonna be thinking about
here too. This was a twenty fifteen album. That's where
I tell people we dive into the homework here twenty
sixteen albums somewhere in there fifteen sixty right now, there
were two songs that struck me too to put on
my playlist. Putting on my playlist, I recommend everybody else
(32:01):
do the same thing too.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
It's funky. How about this? Now we're diving in some
good stuff here? Okay, all right? The first one is
Party in the Barn.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Oh yeah, I love part you know. Party in the
Barn is one of my favorites because it was kind
of written around the town of Kelly Bill. There's a
you know, there's an Indian road there and you know anyway, yeah, yeah,
so all my friends and my Creek County crew as
I call them, love that song. So it was one
of the first ones I wrote as a you know,
(32:32):
for that album too. You know, that was kind of
a solo, right, So yeah, it's always a special one.
I love that one, Thank you someone.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
And the second one is because we all want to
do it. Hey, Daddy made a million. I won't make
a million one day too, and I know you will too,
because hey, Daddy can do it, we can do it too, right,
that's right. If Daddy can do it exactly, that's right,
if Daddy can do, it's because Mama was helping him.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Probably. Yeah. I love that song because it's just that was.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Written by a friend. It's incredible writer Alex Dooley, who
who I write with him a lot. But that's actually
how our writing. I got pitched that song by his
previous publisher and then we started writing together quite a bit.
So Alex is my co writer on you know, on
like a lot of songs like American Beauty. He was
he wrote we wrote Gentlemen, start your weekends. In fact, Alex,
(33:18):
who wrote Danny Made a Million, was the one who
we both finished writing one day on music Row. It
was a Friday, you know, it was Friday, around noon
and we didn't have afternoon appointments and and uh and
he said, well, gentlemen, start your weekends. And I said,
not yet, because I've been waiting for a hook and
this is that's exactly what what this song called for.
(33:41):
So yeah, that's funny. Yeah, Daddy Made a Million. I
love that song. I mean, that's just very I think
it's really well written. It's a traditional country song. It's
kind of like we kind of did it with almost
a little bluegrass kind of Americana feel on that and yeah,
well thanks, I'm glad you put that on your playlist.
Thanks for shound that out. I know Alex will love
(34:02):
to hear that too.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, you got to do stuff like that too, Like
I said, when you dive in deep to these things,
to do your homework as the key to any radio
show out there too. At the same time, getting to
know your guests before you do the interviews out there too.
You know it makes me feel like too when you
said that, gentleman, start your weekends and the ride or Die.
It's really see a lot of this music or if
you hadn't been approached by or if you want to
approach it to any type of movies out there. But
the one I was thinking of too was a big
(34:23):
fan of this too. I was gonna ask your favorite
movie in our rapid fire segment, but for me, one
of the all time greats is Talladega Knights, and that
was just something because just fun out there to do it,
because if you're not first, your last, the whole classic
line too, and of course what we'll mention that movie.
I could really see your music like really in a
film like Talladega Knights. So if you're approached, man, need
to go for it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Oh, it's totally you know, like if we can make
the sequel to Talladega Knights and get gentlemen to start
your weekends and ride or die like I've been basically
that ep is could I didn't think about it, but
it could basically be the soundtrack to Talladega Knights Part two,
Part two.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, I'll come at you like a spider monkey if
you try to keep me off that soundtrack.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
I would love to see that if they ever make
a second one.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I mean, I'm look, I mean, he's very polarizing, but
I'm a huge Will Ferreo fan, you know, like from
from Angrim and actually old School. You know, we're we're
streaking honey, the It doesn't hard that he looks like
Chad Smith the drummer.
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, it's a fun time to do those movies. Hey,
speaking of food or two and I'll get gets closer too.
But food, man, I've been throwing at so many restaurants
up there, and every time I go back for a
CRS or a c a week. It is fun to
go out there and check on the food in town
because I'm so much foodie, love it a barbecue or
whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Where are some of your spots to to go hang
out in Nashville to eat that?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Well, there's so many great places it's hard to narrow
down right, you know, and most of the great ones
have kind of been co opted by the tourist industry,
you know, like the pharmacy and things, you know, and
just across the street at uh, I forget the name
of the place with all the has the food court
basically like the three levels and you can go to
basically all these different places. That's that's a great one,
(36:10):
I think. Uh, you know, my favorite from a foodie perspective,
My my family's favorite place to go is chawn Alehouse,
which is Indian if you like Indian food. It's the
the neat Chawn from the Food Network and like that
place is like maybe the best Indian restaurant I've ever
been to. And in Nashville actually has a couple of
(36:30):
great Indian places. Local is a great place.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I think.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
My favorite place to go and listen to music in food,
it's probably the Local. That's that's a great spot.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah, to get some of these recommendations from me on
just like I said, text message or something like save
all these if I can get to a bunch of
these coming up for the week there too. We're gonna
try to get to a few of these that we can.
You know, it might be over maybe overrun. Some of
these places may be overrun during see Mayfest. Browns Hamburger
stand is still. I mean that's been you know, an
industry stable since the you know, I can't of like
(37:06):
the seventies or something, I think, but they I mean,
there's there's a reason it's a great burger and you
know walking Yeah, I'm like always up for good hamburger.
So I will definitely take that one of your recommendation
that just I took itself and trump's the rest and
goes to the top of the list right there.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
So I'm looking forward to a good hamburger spot out
there too.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Hey, when you get some hobbies and kind of some
downtime out there too, and having that free time when
you're not touring and doing music, and I say hobbies
and that word what do you like to do for fun?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Extracurricular activities?
Speaker 1 (37:36):
What do I like to do for fun? You know,
I well, you know, between the doctoring and the and
the music, that kind of takes up a lot of
my time. But like we you know, we love to
go Me and my kids love to go swimming. We
like to travel, you know, whenever we can't like not
on band travel like going you know, special places, uh.
And you know, I just really like spend time with
(37:57):
my kids, as you know, is the number one thing
right now because they're all kind of you know, from
fourteen to twenty one, so.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Doing what they want to do, so great agents do
right there.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I just have one, she's five, and she's now getting
into kindergarten and she's got, like I said, learning to
do all her reading and writing and her shapes and
everything out there too. But she's got that creative mind
right now. And it's always those fun ages too. You
went through, so you know what I'm talking about. There's
always exploring stage and now going to kindergarten. It's always
fun because that's my ride or die right there too.
I love it because I love being with her in
(38:30):
the spare time, which I don't get a lot of,
but it's it's kind of cool to have like the
evenings with her and take her swim lessons and all
the things she's into it.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
It's a pretty cool feeling, it really is. It's great.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
And then you know, if you want, like if I'm
when the kids are better or whatever, what I'm doing,
you know, I'm watching you know, I'm watching movies like
you know, I love you know, comedy movies, or I
tend to like if I find a series I like,
I'd rather rewatch it than watch something new, take a
chance on something new, So I you know, I'm a
what rewatch of Thrones? Or there's this Scottish BBC show
(39:04):
still Game on Netflix that I that I love, or
you know they play, you know, be a gamer. I
still play like Diablo two and stuff like that sometimes.
So if I'm not reading or drawing.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Or something, that's a great idea that you got right
there to kind of just start that Game of Thrones
thing again and right, yeah, just it's cool.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It's just fun to that's like fun.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I mean, it's just a good series to get inside
your head and to watch it, and great storytelling and
acting in it too. And I was thinking of I
know the new season's out now too, but I'm like,
you'll like to binge watch stuff, or watch the new
season on something.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
The Last of Us is out there too, Have you
seen any of that.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I haven't watched that now. I was looking at tune
fine and like most of the music in there, I've
I've I dig so I've got it. That's on my
list to watch. We've been watching ted Lasso, like that's
one thing that the whole on Apple Apple TV is
kind of like to Apple TV that like that ted Lasso.
It's such a feel good it's so positive. It's just
(40:02):
it's a rarity these days. So that's pretty cool. And
then on the flip side, you know me and my
my uh my son, like he love's mind Hunter or
you know, like serial killer stuff. So like one of
his favorite movies is Once upon a Time in Hollywood,
you know the Tarantino movies.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
I love some Quentin Tarantino, my friend, no love that
one of the best of all time directors. Hey, so
I'm excited about this, uh for my part of the
little Beaumont, Texas down here too, small town near Houston.
So I'm going to dinner tonight. It's like the grand
opening of the place. But I was gonna ask you
because it can't come from it's a new question in
my mind. I love just sandwiches. I'm simple like that too.
You have to have a but a sandwich shop is
(40:41):
coming here by the name of Jersey Mike's. I'm sure
you've heard of that too, my favorite sandwich shop. So
I'm excited about that. I'm coming there.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
What's your favorite sandwich shop? Is it Jersey Mike's or
is it something else?
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Oh? I tend to try to avoid bread. But at
the same time, like when everybody's ordering in or something
take out, I'm like, I'm just get a sandwich, Like
I'm a better sandwich at home.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Right.
Speaker 11 (41:01):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
My son loves Capriotti's, which is like I think from Connecticut,
and they're pretty good. But I you know, mcallisters is
probably one of my go to I mean, that's the chain.
But if we're going to a chain, you know, it's
usually McAllister's. But yeah, I don't know. I mean that's uh,
I think I think I make a mean sandwich. You know,
(41:24):
I'd rather I'd rather slice up some tomato and you know,
put the mayo and and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
And so I'm up for like a sandwich challenge. Here
on on the backstage, pass with James Robert Webb, like
he makes the sandwich, I try it on air and
I expose it to everybody out there and tell him
how good it is. That's right.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
We could totally do it like yeah, it's regularly like
on a turkey sandwiches. And you know, I like to
use either either a horse radish, you know, like a
creamy horse radish thing, or like a kind of basil
pesto thing.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Okay, so we.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Gotta do a sandwich sandwich challenge here and if he
if we do it at c A fest, if you're
hanging around there too, and you want to come down
and hang out with us there too, and we eat
on the air like this video thing, and of course
radio live radio we can can arrange that.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Have a totally be fun. And then you have to
then you have to describe it as you for the
people who are just listening right as well, so.
