Speaker 1 (01:17):
You know, we stayed busy. I we work every weekend.
I mean, it's it's very d to have a weekend
off now. We both since I met you last, we
bought a house kind of out in the country, and uh,
you know, I got me a garden and took a
shop and I get to be outside a lot, which
(01:37):
I love doing. So when I'm not playing music or
spend time with my daughter or wife, I'm out in
the yard, working in the garden.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
We're on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Uh got a video on there was working in the
garden with my tillers, and people were like, don't you're
gonna cut your.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Toes off, don't do that, don't do that. I'm like,
maybe I don't know how country.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
One of the bore of cutry guys that I know
out there. Hey, when you look back at it too,
and almost started your diggers. We're gonna relive some of
the old days, and of course the great song just
came out September seventeenth right there too with a good
Man Going Home, the tribute song to Charlie Kirk there too.
But looking back at it, can you believe when you
look back? And I was thinking when these songs came
out at O three, and I know we've talked about
this on previous episodes. Week Done, Jeff, I mean, these
(02:24):
songs are now twenty two years old, the songs still
live on and really kind of stand the test of
time with all these great songs, long slow kisses, I
want to make you cry from that first album.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I had no idea that that was the test of
time that well, you know, so that's one I always
wanted my I hear an artists, I hear an these
song and I say, okay, we're just gonna be five
years from now, because once I get past my initial
the creative side, then I go to thinking about how's
it gonna stand up? And then you find out that
mine did, mine has so far, and he blows men
(02:57):
with I think it's really I don't know if the
fan music as most.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I got great fans and.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
They're still coming to show. I got one lady just
showed it. My birthday celebration is Beast Saturday Night, Betty.
That's my three and eightieth show.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
That's cowful.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
They still playing on music.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That's the cool thing is you know you still love
what you do. And they always say that you love
what you do. You never work a day in your life.
But look at look at that. You're one of those
guys that loves to be on stage and loves to
just entertain an audience.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right, I do, and I love people, and you know me,
and you do them what we do. I'm sure you
get people all the time. Young people says man, you
got I want to do what you do? Can you
give me any advice? And and I get them all
the time. And I always say this good becomes you
love it. And because if you do it because you
love it, then you wanta do it for no pain
(03:53):
and you don't do it for high pay.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It don't matter. You can do this because you love it.
Are you good at it? Yeah, you're great at it.
You love it, or you wouldn't have gotten your right.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Ad that's true, no doubt that you've gotta perfect your
craft too.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Hey, talk to me about just how much exchanged even
when you first got into it. Uh you know back
in the day too mentioned all those great songs and
and being a great writer too. But now you've got
you know, streaming has affected it so much too, and
Spotify and SoundCloud and all these different uh digital streaming platforms.
And of course now you see a lot of artists,
you know, doing it without a record label. They're very
much independent right now. You know you can do you
(04:26):
can do that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I work with an artist I've been working with the
past uh nine years, I think man was Thomas matt
Go check them out on uh TikTok and like four
point five even viaters and I was I was surprised
when we first started doing it because he started growing
on TikTok fast. And we walked into uh steakhouse somewhere
(04:50):
and somebody came up and says, good dude on TikTok
Thomas Mack And I'm like, what am I childlivering?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But they mean that I was young people, So I said,
there's something to this social media and there so here
we are after all this time.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
What's great about it?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
As artists now have more control of their career in
their own hands. None they ever have had in the
history of the needing business, you know. And we've been
working on Facebook really hard this year because I had
good following on Earth, but now we've hadded like twenty
thousand more. We're posting every day and monetize that, you know,
(05:27):
and that's great because it helps. It's another source of income.
And I'm not honest with my fans. Hey, this helps
me help raise my kids. It helps me see what
I do. If you like and shit, if you follow
and share, and they didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They get it.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
They do, no doubt too.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We got to take people back play a couple of
songs today too, and of course they talk to you,
Jeff about uh the good Man going Home out there too.

our sponsors do. So hey, take me back a little
bit mention that one. How much I love it? Sing
it got my daughter singing it now, she's almost six
years old. To the love song two thousand and three
off rainbow Man, which I know was BMT Records for
the time too, looking back at it, Man.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Just love that album. You worked with some great people
on rainbow Man, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I did work with of course, with Keny Beard first
production job. He didn't want to do it nine stuff,
so we enlisted Scott Hendricks and David Maloy, both great producers.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So David did half of it, Scott did. They both
did it with KG.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
When you look back at the songs, I mean even
even the big hits today too, and always tell people,
you know, to write a song and you remember the
time and kind of where you were and kind of
what went on, uh with with songs like that. But
even I loved you know, I want to make you
cry and give us a little backstory of that one too,
about kind.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Of how that came into existence? Have I ever told
you the story on that long before him? That you have?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Lay it?
Speaker 14 (14:50):
On?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
My first co ride with Kenny Beard? Right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So he walks into the room where we're writing. It's
got a big old sunglasses got overall the teacher and
one look like an alien, red big red beer ball. Okay,
that's gab. He said, Hey, I'm Kvie. He said, I
got the song idea. I want to write with you.
I've been hearing a lot about you. And I tried
(15:15):
to write this with Ronnie Dunn, but he didn't want
to ride. He said it was two dirty and I said, oh,
I said, look what is it? And he said, told
I want to make you cry? And I said, I
give it, you know. And he said, okay, So what
we'll do is we'll write this first verse in the course.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Then we'll go.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Across the street over the Church of Chicken when we're
in Nashville.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
And he said, we'll leave way too much Chicken.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We'll come back over here and we'll stand up on
that couch over there, take a country in western now,
and then we'll wake up him and write himself first.
And I said, going to in Saturday outside and he fell.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Out of that and he said he pulled that on
studies Hemory. God he didn't didn't even come back from lunch.
But that's how. That's how that song. Guys, there's a
lot of time drank light, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
So you know what's amazing depth too, You look at
all the great things that are happening still in Nashville,
to even the major award shows and other even some
of the minor award shows out there too. We mentioned
how independence becoming it, but you know, to me, it's
all about as you know, if you've been doing this
a long time, it is the song, the song that
resonates with fans, and sometimes that song does not have
to be a number one hit. It just can make
somebody feel something right one if.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Somebody somebody that knew a lot more of the main
one times, you will always be working as an artist,
whether you are the top of a charge or not,
because you sang what people feel and I thought that
was wrong a good way up through rather than you
may think feel and you sang work.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I feel hey about a couple of cuts off that
first record too, with one called My in Laws or Outlaws,
and then I want to touch a little bit on
the title track of the Rainbow Man, give a backstories
of that man.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Then Lord out Law. That's the true song, all the way,
true story for real, And uh, that's all I'm gonna
say about that.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
That was a divorce long ago. Rainbow Man I.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Wrote with Harley al Me as Hardy Ell and he's
got your still condenser, you know if Hardy wrote debated
from Blake Shelton and the Old Stringer get song. And
so I had a song meeting with him that we're
going to write, went Nate Chiley together and he said,
man's tell me abound, tell me about you alive. And
(17:36):
I started telling him about my adoption and all that
kind of stuff, and he said, that's what I thought.
He said, I got a song started, I stole in
my office and we're finished, and so we're sitting on
and he played me what he had on it and
answers like he heard on the radio. That was the
Old rig first half a song. We wrote the rest
of it and the rest of history. That song stick.
(17:58):
It's as far as all the time I think people can.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Relate, Oh, absolutely, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Then you go to your six record, which I remember
DJing back in college, and even that too, Leave the
Light On, which is one of my favorite ones out
there too, talk about just that overall body of work
and that that specific training, Leave.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
The Lighter On with I want to I want to say,
I want to say, that's all over Street thing heard
in Deborah al and I was making so I don't
know if I think Karl over the Street, but the
whole album when they asked me to do something a
little more country, the label did, and I'm like, are
(18:37):
you sure you want me to be more country? Because
you run into people they say, uh, you're a little
thing country. And so you see again, it was all
about finding the gray song, the perfect song, trying to
write grey songs. And Man of Nationalist, fully incredible writers,
always has.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That no doubt too.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And you mentioned all these great shows that are out
there too, and watch in the Voice this new season
they've got and of course they're always a fan of
American Idol and a g T.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
America's got talent. You get some thoughts on these.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Reality shows, man, and some of this talent that's on
the shows and then coming off the shows. Now, that's
just all genres of music. Some of these shows are
dominated right now.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Man, they really do dominate.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I think it's because we all want to think we
can do that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I think everybody wants to think believe.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And on the other side of it is and I
run into this on doing social media because people just
want to re People want real and they want to
They don't want to, they don't want faith. They want
to know good, bad, and and different. That's what they
want to see that and they want to hear that.
And so you can give them if you can get
you across as an artist. This is me what I'm
(19:51):
passionate about. This is what I feel. Then I think
you win a little. But that's amazing talent out there.
If there had been tiling now like that when I
came to Nashville, I probably went home with leaft my
tail to swim leave.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It's a great talent. I love it up thirty always
something to do and something to get involved in. Hey
off that record Leave the Light On two against Jeff
Bates here with us on the backstage pass.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I loved that one.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
One second chance talk about this too, because this was fantastic.
I loved it so much and also one of your
highest streaming songs, even backs from two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
From that record, I'm a recovery myth at addict and alcoholic,
went to jail in two thousand and one. March fourteenth,
two thousand and one, arrested for grand theft in Nashville,
steining to support my myth have It, and nobody knew
I was using artist I thought, I don't think they did,
(20:46):
but you know, I met God in jail and I
brought him out with it. I was looking at sentence
sixty fifteen years, and I just set the lords. I
don't know how to pitch me. I don't know how
to change me. I've tried thirty seventy years old and
I'm looking at sixty fifteen years. I'm not even asking
me to get me out of jail. I'm saying that
(21:08):
I want to be changed, and I can't do it.
But if you'll change me, I'm willing to do the
work which man getting honest for me and everybody else.
I started calling people from jail, telling them what I've done,
and you're messing them all your guitars over Kenny Deer
with one of them, you know, I phoned your guitar
(21:28):
over his phone shop here, please go get it before
you lose it. Got out of jail in ninety six days,
which was unbelievable. And KB had actually told me to
come by his house when I got out of jail.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I thought he was gonna give me a country in
Western hook you give you up.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
But he met me at the door and handing me
the same guitar that I've phoned, and he said, come on,
I love you, come on in and write a song.
Let's trying to get your writing on that. We did
that one year later, almost of the day, and this
June got a call from Rcia that wanted to meet
who were singing long slow kisses and no want to
(22:07):
make you cry the demos, you know. So I thought,
oh my god, I wasn't even trying to get a ricord.
Healed an watch his Rhys hollars, and so I went
and live and Joelanti and Nate Vale. It was respectively
that the president and the head of an art at
r C eight sung two or three songs. And when
(22:29):
next such I reminded of Conway to you, I said, well,
that's just what I sound like, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I ran into my old year.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
But uh, she said, turn cried man. Joe shook my hand.
He said, we'll call you in a few weeks and
let you know.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
What we decide.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And I told him the truth about my past, uh,
the jail time, drugs and all that. Told him I've
been claimed for a year. I drove home, said a
simple prayer or whatever you want happens. Okay, we'll meet
right I get home, the phone rings. It's joke, Alan
and he said, we would like to awe you recording
contract with our ca Vanmers.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
My whole laugh to get his record view going.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Lack of thks, Coach, you try to do this stuff
on your own and nothing happens except for works. And
he finally said, okay, whatever you want to make here, Jod,
here's your record deal man, all.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Rights, our maker. He's got his hand on it till
he knows timing. And he was answering to the questions
that we don't. But sometimes out there too.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (23:35):

Good Man Going Home.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Charlie saw here it is from Jeff Bates.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
He was just a young man talking about Jesus said
of college.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
But the devil was hiding in the light.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
We never saw the boot had come and just screaming
on the run, and and everybody pread for his life.
We watched him come and take him and wondered if
he'd make it.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
When we finally guide the word.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
The whole world cried the start of be arms wide up,
and you can have faith in when he gets there,
gonna be hallo luyas and edmans, gonna be ans you sing,
and no albody blamed And for shaming him for words
(25:14):
he said or all of his mesons.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
It hurts to see him go.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
But I know he's a good man going home.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
He was such a loving father to his little son
and daughter, and the husband to his caring Christian wife.
He stood up on the truth and shared it with
our conscious youth, spread the good news of the Good
Book nationwise.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
God let the gun make his choice. He chose to
silence Charley's voice.
Speaker 8 (26:04):

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass powered by The
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
All right, back, Jeff Banks on the program. Of course,
the song there a Good Man Going Home, Charlie's song,
of course, Charlie Kirk There. I've up to this a
couple of weeks now. It's it's been taking effect on
our country, no doubt about it too. Uh, Jeff wanted
to get kind of that that same story, you know,
the reasons that things happen. I mean, I guess our
you know, maker knows more than we do when it
comes down to it. But uh, you know, just took
(31:22):
the country by storm. And I don't get very political
here on this program, nor do I talk to politics either.
I don't pretend to be somebody out there. But give
me the backstory of just how this came together. I
know you guys were following him for a long time
and just you know kind of what he stood for
in this country, no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
But uh, where'd you get the idea for the song?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
And kind of how how did all this come together
to put this great song out?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Well, it's real simple to me.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
As soon as I heard I've been following chart for
quite a while, I really would appreciate what he did.
I've had to be ten year old. Hell to me,
it's not about politics. It's about here a young man
who's extremely shocked intelligent, self educated, and.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
He is going around to.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Young people around our country is and he's teaching me
some simple tenants.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
I'll rive it.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So I'm not gonna even get religious. I'm not gonna
get certainly not gonna discuss politics. I'm an entertainment that's
my god. But here's a guy whose teachings wong from
right and common sense.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Thinking I'm a raised good so I followed him.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
But about four years and I hear that he's got
assassinatedness is so unbelievable to me and hurting my heart.
Made me sick to my stomach because this is still
the United States, regardless of political affiliation. We live in
a country where you shouldn't be able to think what
you want to think and say what you want to
(32:46):
say without it isn't kill it for it. And I said,
I've got to write this, which is torturing me. You know.
I had a writing of form with three other writers,
Nick Altry, Jason Brownie. When we got into the cor
I said, guys, we've got to write a song for Charlie.
And Autrey said, I've got this title. Nobody's wanted to
(33:07):
ride with me for a quite a while.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And I said, what is it?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
He said, good Man going home. I said, my god,
that's great. That's the perfect title for what I want
to ride. So I grabbed my guitar and started to
spitting our lines and the song. Wrote it seven basicly
and then it was a race against time to hit
it out, get it recorded, and get it out.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
My manager was pushed and push and got Don Mary
Groves over here. My brothers is h I ain't know.
That's how fast we got to get everything kind of
live it. I choose my finger nailed off, and any
worries about how people's gonna take it. You know what
has been amazing how many people, and I talked to
tens of thousands of people we have said, this is
(33:47):
exactly how this is exactly what I needed to hear,
and so let you thanks.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
For playing.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Absolutely no doubt too. One of the best songwriters out
there too, and of course the best talents yet. It's
here on the backstage pass and check out Jeff Bates
dot net for more great information of tour dates and
of course merchandise out there and all the great songs
and tracks, and of course the DSP's good man going
home on those your favorite streaming platforms out there. And
I want to ask you about eating holes there in Nashville,
(34:16):
because every time I get there for like a CMA
week and do the radio show live from there or
a CRS, you know, a company radio seminar, there's always
some new I feel like it's a test market now
for restaurants. It's crazy because something else will open up.
I had this Hamburger join and I go over to
it's not chicken joint, and I go to a pizza joint.
And it's always pretty cool to see, like all these
great restaurants there in Nashville, they've changed so much. To
(34:36):
talk to me about some of your favorite kind of
hotspot you're getting downtown Broadway or Germantown or something of
their favorite restaurants in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
You know, I rarely go to Nashville and eat, and
when I do, I'm getting there so late that everything's
kind of closing down, But I continue for he is
there and it's not I mean, it's it's chained right,
it's Cheery's It's the best one I ever read out
of my life. There's right over on the West End
Man in Nashville, because the service is great and the
(35:08):
food is a love chili, the normal chili average there,
which is already do and they're open late.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Enough that everybody stands up late. Like me, you can eat.
I don't have to go to waffle ba.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
When it comes to like football season, are you kind
of getting into some games either college or pro out
there for your football football teams?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Man, if I go to Talking Football or somebody that
don't hate me, and I'm not gonna tell people that
I love war Eve going all, I can't.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I love the college.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yeah, they got a big game coming up this week
against Texas A and M. And I'm nague down here
and being from Texas, so that's a big one field.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I know, that's gonna be great. I can't wait here.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
And I you know, I watched I've watched pro ball
my whole life, and I love it, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
But at the same time, I watched college and it's
what is it, dude?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I mean they they they play like their life depends
on it, And I think that may be it. I
think I think pro ball plays like their checks depend
on and I think that college kids play like their
life and that's the difference.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
There's so so much power in fact.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
On the other hand, I've stood on the fifty yard
line like at the Dallas Stadium and some of the
national anthem walk down there and the turner shook my
hand and say, great job, I'll.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Get hiding gone with heavens. And then they bring me
over there to the sideline.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
They get watched Kiko get still on the sideline and
watch the pro ball kick go. When they hear the shot,
waves like chants, just colide it out there on.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I think.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
So I've been there the sideline too, watching an NFL game.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Of course, up in the press box, doing some covers
there for different media affiliates I've worked with back in
college and of course through my sports broadcasting days.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
And you're right if it does feel like a tank,
but it comes across he does, it's crazy. Who knew you?
I mean I played a little in SCHOOLID. Yeah, we
didn't hit that horror.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Well, you got to wear all the equipment to make
sure you stay safe, no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
It's loud and you've been again Philip Shop with the
air movie.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Well, I tell you, man, I love this song.
Speaker 3 (37:31):

You know, we stayed busy. I we work every weekend.
I mean, it's it's very d to have a weekend
off now. We both since I met you last, we
bought a house kind of out in the country, and uh,
you know, I got me a garden and took a
shop and I get to be outside a lot, which
(01:37):
I love doing. So when I'm not playing music or
spend time with my daughter or wife, I'm out in
the yard, working in the garden.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
We're on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Uh got a video on there was working in the
garden with my tillers, and people were like, don't you're
gonna cut your.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Toes off, don't do that, don't do that. I'm like,
maybe I don't know how country.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
One of the bore of cutry guys that I know
out there. Hey, when you look back at it too,
and almost started your diggers. We're gonna relive some of
the old days, and of course the great song just
came out September seventeenth right there too with a good
Man Going Home, the tribute song to Charlie Kirk there too.
But looking back at it, can you believe when you
look back? And I was thinking when these songs came
out at O three, and I know we've talked about
this on previous episodes. Week Done, Jeff, I mean, these
(02:24):
songs are now twenty two years old, the songs still
live on and really kind of stand the test of
time with all these great songs, long slow kisses, I
want to make you cry from that first album.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I had no idea that that was the test of
time that well, you know, so that's one I always
wanted my I hear an artists, I hear an these
song and I say, okay, we're just gonna be five
years from now, because once I get past my initial
the creative side, then I go to thinking about how's
it gonna stand up? And then you find out that
mine did, mine has so far, and he blows men
(02:57):
with I think it's really I don't know if the
fan music as most.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
I got great fans and.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
They're still coming to show. I got one lady just
showed it. My birthday celebration is Beast Saturday Night, Betty.
That's my three and eightieth show.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
That's cowful.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
They still playing on music.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That's the cool thing is you know you still love
what you do. And they always say that you love
what you do. You never work a day in your life.
But look at look at that. You're one of those
guys that loves to be on stage and loves to
just entertain an audience.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right, I do, and I love people, and you know me,
and you do them what we do. I'm sure you
get people all the time. Young people says man, you
got I want to do what you do? Can you
give me any advice? And and I get them all
the time. And I always say this good becomes you
love it. And because if you do it because you
love it, then you wanta do it for no pain
(03:53):
and you don't do it for high pay.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It don't matter. You can do this because you love it.
Are you good at it? Yeah, you're great at it.
You love it, or you wouldn't have gotten your right.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Ad that's true, no doubt that you've gotta perfect your
craft too.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Hey, talk to me about just how much exchanged even
when you first got into it. Uh you know back
in the day too mentioned all those great songs and
and being a great writer too. But now you've got
you know, streaming has affected it so much too, and
Spotify and SoundCloud and all these different uh digital streaming platforms.
And of course now you see a lot of artists,
you know, doing it without a record label. They're very
much independent right now. You know you can do you
(04:26):
can do that.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I work with an artist I've been working with the
past uh nine years, I think man was Thomas matt
Go check them out on uh TikTok and like four
point five even viaters and I was I was surprised
when we first started doing it because he started growing
on TikTok fast. And we walked into uh steakhouse somewhere
(04:50):
and somebody came up and says, good dude on TikTok
Thomas Mack And I'm like, what am I childlivering?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But they mean that I was young people, So I said,
there's something to this social media and there so here
we are after all this time.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
What's great about it?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
As artists now have more control of their career in
their own hands. None they ever have had in the
history of the needing business, you know. And we've been
working on Facebook really hard this year because I had
good following on Earth, but now we've hadded like twenty
thousand more. We're posting every day and monetize that, you know,
(05:27):
and that's great because it helps. It's another source of income.
And I'm not honest with my fans. Hey, this helps
me help raise my kids. It helps me see what
I do. If you like and shit, if you follow
and share, and they didn't.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
They get it.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
They do, no doubt too.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We got to take people back play a couple of
songs today too, and of course they talk to you,
Jeff about uh the good Man going Home out there too.
Across all the DSPs came out September seventeenth, But first
we're gonna take you back to two thousand and three

off rainbow Man, which I know was BMT Records for
the time too, looking back at it, Man.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Just love that album. You worked with some great people
on rainbow Man, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I did work with of course, with Keny Beard first
production job. He didn't want to do it nine stuff,
so we enlisted Scott Hendricks and David Maloy, both great producers.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So David did half of it, Scott did. They both
did it with KG.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
When you look back at the songs, I mean even
even the big hits today too, and always tell people,
you know, to write a song and you remember the
time and kind of where you were and kind of
what went on, uh with with songs like that. But
even I loved you know, I want to make you
cry and give us a little backstory of that one too,
about kind.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Of how that came into existence? Have I ever told
you the story on that long before him? That you have?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Lay it?
Speaker 14 (14:50):
On?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
My first co ride with Kenny Beard? Right.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So he walks into the room where we're writing. It's
got a big old sunglasses got overall the teacher and
one look like an alien, red big red beer ball. Okay,
that's gab. He said, Hey, I'm Kvie. He said, I
got the song idea. I want to write with you.
I've been hearing a lot about you. And I tried
(15:15):
to write this with Ronnie Dunn, but he didn't want
to ride. He said it was two dirty and I said, oh,
I said, look what is it? And he said, told
I want to make you cry? And I said, I
give it, you know. And he said, okay, So what
we'll do is we'll write this first verse in the course.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Then we'll go.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Across the street over the Church of Chicken when we're
in Nashville.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
And he said, we'll leave way too much Chicken.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We'll come back over here and we'll stand up on
that couch over there, take a country in western now,
and then we'll wake up him and write himself first.
And I said, going to in Saturday outside and he fell.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Out of that and he said he pulled that on
studies Hemory. God he didn't didn't even come back from lunch.
But that's how. That's how that song. Guys, there's a
lot of time drank light, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
So you know what's amazing depth too, You look at
all the great things that are happening still in Nashville,
to even the major award shows and other even some
of the minor award shows out there too. We mentioned
how independence becoming it, but you know, to me, it's
all about as you know, if you've been doing this
a long time, it is the song, the song that
resonates with fans, and sometimes that song does not have
to be a number one hit. It just can make
somebody feel something right one if.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Somebody somebody that knew a lot more of the main
one times, you will always be working as an artist,
whether you are the top of a charge or not,
because you sang what people feel and I thought that
was wrong a good way up through rather than you
may think feel and you sang work.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I feel hey about a couple of cuts off that
first record too, with one called My in Laws or Outlaws,
and then I want to touch a little bit on
the title track of the Rainbow Man, give a backstories
of that man.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Then Lord out Law. That's the true song, all the way,
true story for real, And uh, that's all I'm gonna
say about that.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
That was a divorce long ago. Rainbow Man I.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Wrote with Harley al Me as Hardy Ell and he's
got your still condenser, you know if Hardy wrote debated
from Blake Shelton and the Old Stringer get song. And
so I had a song meeting with him that we're
going to write, went Nate Chiley together and he said,
man's tell me abound, tell me about you alive. And
(17:36):
I started telling him about my adoption and all that
kind of stuff, and he said, that's what I thought.
He said, I got a song started, I stole in
my office and we're finished, and so we're sitting on
and he played me what he had on it and
answers like he heard on the radio. That was the
Old rig first half a song. We wrote the rest
of it and the rest of history. That song stick.
(17:58):
It's as far as all the time I think people can.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Relate, Oh, absolutely, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Then you go to your six record, which I remember
DJing back in college, and even that too, Leave the
Light On, which is one of my favorite ones out
there too, talk about just that overall body of work
and that that specific training, Leave.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
The Lighter On with I want to I want to say,
I want to say, that's all over Street thing heard
in Deborah al and I was making so I don't
know if I think Karl over the Street, but the
whole album when they asked me to do something a
little more country, the label did, and I'm like, are
(18:37):
you sure you want me to be more country? Because
you run into people they say, uh, you're a little
thing country. And so you see again, it was all
about finding the gray song, the perfect song, trying to
write grey songs. And Man of Nationalist, fully incredible writers,
always has.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
That no doubt too.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And you mentioned all these great shows that are out
there too, and watch in the Voice this new season
they've got and of course they're always a fan of
American Idol and a g T.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
America's got talent. You get some thoughts on these.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Reality shows, man, and some of this talent that's on
the shows and then coming off the shows. Now, that's
just all genres of music. Some of these shows are
dominated right now.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Man, they really do dominate.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I think it's because we all want to think we
can do that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I think everybody wants to think believe.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And on the other side of it is and I
run into this on doing social media because people just
want to re People want real and they want to
They don't want to, they don't want faith. They want
to know good, bad, and and different. That's what they
want to see that and they want to hear that.
And so you can give them if you can get
you across as an artist. This is me what I'm
(19:51):
passionate about. This is what I feel. Then I think
you win a little. But that's amazing talent out there.
If there had been tiling now like that when I
came to Nashville, I probably went home with leaft my
tail to swim leave.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It's a great talent. I love it up thirty always
something to do and something to get involved in. Hey
off that record Leave the Light On two against Jeff
Bates here with us on the backstage pass.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I loved that one.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
One second chance talk about this too, because this was fantastic.
I loved it so much and also one of your
highest streaming songs, even backs from two thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
From that record, I'm a recovery myth at addict and alcoholic,
went to jail in two thousand and one. March fourteenth,
two thousand and one, arrested for grand theft in Nashville,
steining to support my myth have It, and nobody knew
I was using artist I thought, I don't think they did,
(20:46):
but you know, I met God in jail and I
brought him out with it. I was looking at sentence
sixty fifteen years, and I just set the lords. I
don't know how to pitch me. I don't know how
to change me. I've tried thirty seventy years old and
I'm looking at sixty fifteen years. I'm not even asking
me to get me out of jail. I'm saying that
(21:08):
I want to be changed, and I can't do it.
But if you'll change me, I'm willing to do the
work which man getting honest for me and everybody else.
I started calling people from jail, telling them what I've done,
and you're messing them all your guitars over Kenny Deer
with one of them, you know, I phoned your guitar
(21:28):
over his phone shop here, please go get it before
you lose it. Got out of jail in ninety six days,
which was unbelievable. And KB had actually told me to
come by his house when I got out of jail.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I thought he was gonna give me a country in
Western hook you give you up.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
But he met me at the door and handing me
the same guitar that I've phoned, and he said, come on,
I love you, come on in and write a song.
Let's trying to get your writing on that. We did
that one year later, almost of the day, and this
June got a call from Rcia that wanted to meet
who were singing long slow kisses and no want to
(22:07):
make you cry the demos, you know. So I thought,
oh my god, I wasn't even trying to get a ricord.
Healed an watch his Rhys hollars, and so I went
and live and Joelanti and Nate Vale. It was respectively
that the president and the head of an art at
r C eight sung two or three songs. And when
(22:29):
next such I reminded of Conway to you, I said, well,
that's just what I sound like, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I ran into my old year.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
But uh, she said, turn cried man. Joe shook my hand.
He said, we'll call you in a few weeks and
let you know.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
What we decide.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And I told him the truth about my past, uh,
the jail time, drugs and all that. Told him I've
been claimed for a year. I drove home, said a
simple prayer or whatever you want happens. Okay, we'll meet
right I get home, the phone rings. It's joke, Alan
and he said, we would like to awe you recording
contract with our ca Vanmers.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
My whole laugh to get his record view going.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Lack of thks, Coach, you try to do this stuff
on your own and nothing happens except for works. And
he finally said, okay, whatever you want to make here, Jod,
here's your record deal man, all.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Rights, our maker. He's got his hand on it till
he knows timing. And he was answering to the questions
that we don't. But sometimes out there too.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I'll tell you what.

But the devil was hiding in the light.
Speaker 6 (24:31):

Speaker 5 (25:17):
It hurts to see him go.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
But I know he's a good man going home.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
He was such a loving father to his little son
and daughter, and the husband to his caring Christian wife.
He stood up on the truth and shared it with
our conscious youth, spread the good news of the Good
Book nationwise.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
God let the gun make his choice. He chose to
silence Charley's voice.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
Now heaven has a brand new voice to mine.

It's gonna be arms wide up, and you can have
paid in loo. And when he gets there, gonna be

Welcome to another edition of Backstage Pass powered by The
Sports Guys Podcast with your host Brandon Morell.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
All right, back, Jeff Banks on the program. Of course,
the song there a Good Man Going Home, Charlie's song,
of course, Charlie Kirk There. I've up to this a
couple of weeks now. It's it's been taking effect on
our country, no doubt about it too. Uh, Jeff wanted
to get kind of that that same story, you know,
the reasons that things happen. I mean, I guess our
you know, maker knows more than we do when it
comes down to it. But uh, you know, just took
(31:22):
the country by storm. And I don't get very political
here on this program, nor do I talk to politics either.
I don't pretend to be somebody out there. But give
me the backstory of just how this came together. I
know you guys were following him for a long time
and just you know kind of what he stood for
in this country, no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
But uh, where'd you get the idea for the song?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
And kind of how how did all this come together
to put this great song out?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Well, it's real simple to me.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
As soon as I heard I've been following chart for
quite a while, I really would appreciate what he did.
I've had to be ten year old. Hell to me,
it's not about politics. It's about here a young man
who's extremely shocked intelligent, self educated, and.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
He is going around to.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Young people around our country is and he's teaching me
some simple tenants.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
I'll rive it.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
So I'm not gonna even get religious. I'm not gonna
get certainly not gonna discuss politics. I'm an entertainment that's
my god. But here's a guy whose teachings wong from
right and common sense.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Thinking I'm a raised good so I followed him.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
But about four years and I hear that he's got
assassinatedness is so unbelievable to me and hurting my heart.
Made me sick to my stomach because this is still
the United States, regardless of political affiliation. We live in
a country where you shouldn't be able to think what
you want to think and say what you want to
(32:46):
say without it isn't kill it for it. And I said,
I've got to write this, which is torturing me. You know.
I had a writing of form with three other writers,
Nick Altry, Jason Brownie. When we got into the cor
I said, guys, we've got to write a song for Charlie.
And Autrey said, I've got this title. Nobody's wanted to
(33:07):
ride with me for a quite a while.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
And I said, what is it?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
He said, good Man going home. I said, my god,
that's great. That's the perfect title for what I want
to ride. So I grabbed my guitar and started to
spitting our lines and the song. Wrote it seven basicly
and then it was a race against time to hit
it out, get it recorded, and get it out.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
My manager was pushed and push and got Don Mary
Groves over here. My brothers is h I ain't know.
That's how fast we got to get everything kind of
live it. I choose my finger nailed off, and any
worries about how people's gonna take it. You know what
has been amazing how many people, and I talked to
tens of thousands of people we have said, this is
(33:47):
exactly how this is exactly what I needed to hear,
and so let you thanks.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
For playing.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Absolutely no doubt too. One of the best songwriters out
there too, and of course the best talents yet. It's
here on the backstage pass and check out Jeff Bates
dot net for more great information of tour dates and
of course merchandise out there and all the great songs
and tracks, and of course the DSP's good man going
home on those your favorite streaming platforms out there. And
I want to ask you about eating holes there in Nashville,
(34:16):
because every time I get there for like a CMA
week and do the radio show live from there or
a CRS, you know, a company radio seminar, there's always
some new I feel like it's a test market now
for restaurants. It's crazy because something else will open up.
I had this Hamburger join and I go over to
it's not chicken joint, and I go to a pizza joint.
And it's always pretty cool to see, like all these
great restaurants there in Nashville, they've changed so much. To
(34:36):
talk to me about some of your favorite kind of
hotspot you're getting downtown Broadway or Germantown or something of
their favorite restaurants in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
You know, I rarely go to Nashville and eat, and
when I do, I'm getting there so late that everything's
kind of closing down, But I continue for he is
there and it's not I mean, it's it's chained right,
it's Cheery's It's the best one I ever read out
of my life. There's right over on the West End
Man in Nashville, because the service is great and the
(35:08):
food is a love chili, the normal chili average there,
which is already do and they're open late.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Enough that everybody stands up late. Like me, you can eat.
I don't have to go to waffle ba.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
When it comes to like football season, are you kind
of getting into some games either college or pro out
there for your football football teams?
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Man, if I go to Talking Football or somebody that
don't hate me, and I'm not gonna tell people that
I love war Eve going all, I can't.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I love the college.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yeah, they got a big game coming up this week
against Texas A and M. And I'm nague down here
and being from Texas, so that's a big one field.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I know, that's gonna be great. I can't wait here.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
And I you know, I watched I've watched pro ball
my whole life, and I love it, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
But at the same time, I watched college and it's
what is it, dude?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
I mean they they they play like their life depends
on it, And I think that may be it. I
think I think pro ball plays like their checks depend
on and I think that college kids play like their
life and that's the difference.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
There's so so much power in fact.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
On the other hand, I've stood on the fifty yard
line like at the Dallas Stadium and some of the
national anthem walk down there and the turner shook my
hand and say, great job, I'll.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
Get hiding gone with heavens. And then they bring me
over there to the sideline.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
They get watched Kiko get still on the sideline and
watch the pro ball kick go. When they hear the shot,
waves like chants, just colide it out there on.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
I think.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
So I've been there the sideline too, watching an NFL game.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Of course, up in the press box, doing some covers
there for different media affiliates I've worked with back in
college and of course through my sports broadcasting days.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
And you're right if it does feel like a tank,
but it comes across he does, it's crazy. Who knew you?
I mean I played a little in SCHOOLID. Yeah, we
didn't hit that horror.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Well, you got to wear all the equipment to make
sure you stay safe, no doubt about it.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
It's loud and you've been again Philip Shop with the
air movie.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Well, I tell you, man, I love this song.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
It said so much one of the great songwriters and
of course the great artist of our time out there,
Jeff Bates and Jeff Bates dot Net and of course
good Man going home across all the DSPs out there, Jeff,
