(01:39):
talk about this. I'll play the single here in a
little bit. But man, you've been on this ride of
man tunes coming out dropping singles like I'm saying, dropping
hotcakes out there too, and makes me hungry just talking
about that same time, but looking at the current one, man,
nobody Else is just on fire right now. A lot
of good things going on your camp.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Tell us all about it, man, thank you for the
kind words.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I really appreciate it. Yeah, man, we've been dropping. I
think this is our This is our third single this
year off of a upcoming album that that's probably gonna
drop sometime this year, but we're not sure yet. But yeah, man,
this is nobody Else is the third single, and it's
a song that means a lot to me. I'm a
huge fan of two thousands country and a lot of

(02:21):
the early sounds of two thousand Country there's a lot
of mandolin, and this song kind of started off with
that mandolin riff. So if you hear that mandolin rift
at the top of the song, it's a very hooky,
kind of uh kind of mandalin riff. And I'm a
big fan of songs that start off with with memorable
guitar lines in it, and so the song kind of
started from from that riff, and then the song is

(02:43):
really it's it's about not wanting to move on. I
think everybody's been in that place where you know, sometimes
you give away your heart and it doesn't quite come
back the way that it used to be. And you
can be in any situation, you know, like your friend's
trying to get you out to go out to the bar. Hey,
go out with this person, meet this new person, come
with me here. You might meet somebody and you're just
not ready for that yet because your heart is still

(03:04):
with that person. So I'm a sucker for those kind
of songs. And I'm really really proud of this one so.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well, I tell you what. We're proud of it too.
We're proud to feature here on the station's KYB in
ninety eight point one, your Bay Area Broadcasting Networking of
Friends a KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine is
Peyton Smith and nobody else. Crank it up.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Sometimes you get away your heart, Yeah, it don't come back,
and just like that, you're back with your bulls at
the bar. Sometimes I had a girl that you were
made for wasn't made for you. You do what you

(03:56):
do to get on with the hurting party.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
She'd be what she did for her.

We're gonna play another one here. Let me ask you
about this one, Girl going Through It. Let's get a
little backstory on this one too, because I love this one.
It was featured on the little free song EP you
guys put out May ninth of this year. Talk about

(07:52):
this one for me?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, man, gir going Through It is a song all right.
With some of my best friends. We actually got it
at my my parents farm in Mississippi. We did a
little writer's retreat out there, and again it started off
with kind of that guitar riff. A big fan of
songs that you know, start off with that, and one
of us had the title, I can't remember which my
car I just had the title girl going Through It,

(08:15):
and I love I love songs that kind of root
for the girl that's been through uh, just a hard
maybe had a hard couple of months. And we wanted
to write it in a way that didn't feel sad.
We wanted to write it in a way that felt
like she was she was getting she was getting her
life back, she was going out. Uh, she had been
going through you know, a tough couple of months and

(08:37):
was finally feeling back to herself, so we kind of
wrote it in an upbeat, an upbeat tempo that would
make you know, make you feel like, all right, yeah,
I'm feeling good again.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
So super fun song to play live.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
We've been playing it all live this spring and it's
one of my favorite songs in the set. It's been
a lot of fun to play.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
For the people that don't know the artist. Peyton Smith
out there talk about just your connection to music from
an early age and kind of what.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
You Yeah, gosh, I've been playing music, I feel like
as long as I can remember. I mean when I
was I mean, it goes all the way back to
when I was like two or three years old. I
remember my grandparents getting me gay their vocal band like
VHS tapes and watching those and being obsessed with those.

(09:23):
And then it went from that to watching and listening
to Pure Country, the Pure Country movie George Strait all
the way to like hearing def Leppard Pyromania for the
first time in my dad's truck, watching Keith Urban play guitar.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
I mean, it's so much within those.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
First six years where I feel like I can remember
all of those moments that made me want to play music,
and so all those things influenced me in a way
at such an early age that just made me want
to go, I want to do that. I don't that
feeling that music made me have. I was like, I
want to keep that going to make somebody else here
that way.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
So that's kind of where it all started.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Man, back back back, you know, down south in home
of Louisiana, listening to all those records.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Crazy now obviously Homa Louisiana. I gotta throw this walk
card in there because it's not be a surprise. He
loves crawfish, and we're about to the end of crawfish
season now too. We just had five pounds of the
day at a little place called Tijuana Is down here
in Texas, which is a lot for a restaurant that's
growing too crawfish for you.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
I know you love it, right, Oh my gosh, man,
I love it. You know what.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I only got to have it one time this year
and it broke my heart. So hopefully next year I
can get some more. But yeah, dude, that's that's the
hardest part I think about living in Tennessee is like.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah, you can get you can you can get it.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Here, but not quite like Louisiana in Southeast Texas, like
you know, you know what I mean. It's it's just
like it's it's everywhere. So I missed that a lot.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's coming back. So you get back down here. We'll
hook you up again for one of these great restaurants. Hey, uh,
take me back. Probably the last time we had talked
there was the recircle for in Volume one EP that
came out there too, the one of my favorite ones
that you put out, actually collaborated with with Jamison Rogers,
a fantastic artist out there who's done it all in
this industry with Camouflage Town and this particular record give

(11:13):
me some of the best memories out there, and then
working with Jamison on that tune.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah, Jamo, guys, I've been I've been a fan of
Jamo since I moved to town, just as far as
you know his artistry and his writing goes. Jamo actually
wrote this song with two other people, Red Akins and
and Ben Hayeslip, and I got sent the song by
some team members of mine and I immediately fell in
love with the song, found out that Jamison was on it,

(11:39):
and I just thought, man, it would be so cool.
We grew up a lot of the same ways, and
I definitely connected to that song in a huge way.
And I just thought it'd be really cool if we
did like a back porch version of it. You know,
we put out a full band version of it, but
I wanted Jamison to be on the back porch single

(12:00):
of it and so it so it would kind of
feel more personal. And and Jamo said absolutely. So as
we were cutting it, I mean, we're we're as When
we were cutting it, we were right on the verge
of both season, so both of our minds were, like,
you know, on deer hunting, so we were like ready
to cut the song and get out in a stand somewhere.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
So that's exactly right. Your body is all that too.
I think year round some time, not just where the
season has the dates on it. Hey tell me about this.
I love fishing when I get a chance having that
time this year so far, but go Fish one of
my favorite ones from a Peyton Smith catalog out there.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Tell us all about this one, Yeah, go Fish, Go
Fish started.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
I had that tide of my phone.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
For a long time, uh, and and knew that I
wanted to r I wanted to ride it in the
way of like I wanted to write it in a
way of you know, kind of playing on the card thing.
But then at the same time going going fishing, and
when we finally landed that hook, we all kind of
high fived in the room, like my life is cars
and you don't like what you get, go fish, literally,

(13:03):
drop whatever you're doing, go get a fishing pole and
just go out and and it's amazing how much that
can put your mind at ease, literally dropping whatever you're
doing and going out to the middle of nowhere, whether
you've got a boat or whether you're banking it or
whatever you're doing. It's amazing that that is the most
piece that I that I find when I'm out there.

(13:24):
I really feel close to the Lord when I'm out there,
and I don't it just everything gets in perspective when
I go fish.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
So that's that's a really special song.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Really, there's no doubt too. And it puts you in
that frame of mind to get a fishing pole in
your hand, rod really go out there and catch a
big when you I tell you about this, we're just
down in Cobo of my sister's wedding last month in
April there, and I did get you go out there
and just watch marlin like jump out of the water.
Oh they kidding, perfect and like one of those deep
sea Yes, decent time out there too, and catch much

(13:54):
And of course it was marlin season during that time.
But I know you loved the fish and you told
me that on previous shows that we've done. Yeah about
your song, and it was played on the boat as
it was going out in the Pacific. So I had
to let you know that.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
No way, dude, I guarantee. I mean, maybe I'm wrong,
but that might be one of the only times that
go Fish has been played as somebody's going out to
catch marlin in the Pacific. Question. I love that. That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I had to tell you that. That's funny taking people
back to last year. I remember this one like it
was yesterday. She's going to town and put it on
a playlist and never look back. Tell us all about
this one of the audience too, Yeah, she's.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Going to town again. Had that tie on my phone
for a long for a long time and wanted to
kind of double play, you know, right it in a
way that felt like a double meaning.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
And I love songs that have double meanings.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I mean, I think country music is the is the
best genre at doing those double meanings, taking a phrase
and writing it one way and it meaning a whole
other thing. So the song's really about songs about the
girl being sick of being in the country, and it's
just kind of like, you know what, I'm out of here,

(15:05):
I'm going to town and she's she's just she's going
to get routy on the town.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
And the guy's just like, all right, well.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I guess this is how it is. And so they're
both okay with that. She's she's doing what she does,
he's doing what he does, and that's okay.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
So all right, do you still get requests today for
and I'm thinking back, this is what twenty twenty three
and I believe it was off his rocker. Do you
still get your requests for that one?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah? Yeah, man, gosh, we we we'll, we'll every now
and then throw that into into a set. It's such
a it's such a cool song, man, still one of
my favorites we've released because it's just such a funky
track and just a unique idea. And yeah, man, that's
that's a fun wanted to play.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I still I still love that one too. Hey, talk
about this. A lot of fans may not see this
in the industry when it comes to the challenges you
guys go through as an artist. They might see just
a stage part, going to concerts and things out there
too when you do it, and all the glitz and
glamour that curves on stage. But what about challenges behind
the scenes that maybe fans don't see well, that you
guys go through as being artists that are just it's

(16:08):
tough to go through it because it's called the music
business for a reason.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Sure, gosh, where do I Where do I start?

Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Gosh, man, it really is such a it's it's so
much fun. I mean, you're getting to live out your dream.
But I will say I mean I had a Me
and my wife had our first baby, girl, back in February,
and we toured this spring, and it was very interesting
being on the leaving side of having a newborn because
you're out there and you're in a hotel room and

(16:42):
you're away from your family, you're on stage, and it
all is is completely worth it, right because you're living
the dream and it's it's it's work, it's it's a dream,
it's all of those things, and then you get off,
you meet people, and then you go back to the
hotel room and you just miss your family. So that
was definitely a new aspect of it. That's something new
that I've to work through, you know, with FaceTime calls and.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
Honestly pressing to.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
My faith like a lot, like I feel like having
people to talk to that are going through the same thing,
and for me, like faith is such a huge part
of my life, so I try to lean heavily on that,
and also calling my friends that I know are experiencing
the same thing, Like a lot of artists go through
the same things feeling that way. So it's good to

(17:27):
be able to have like a group of friends to
call and be like, Hey, I'm feeling this way. Have
you ever felt like this? And what did you what
did you do about? Whether it's the loneliness or I
mean comparison now, you know, that's such a huge thing
with social media.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Trying to work through that.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
But luckily there's so many great people in country music
that are willing to sit down with you and talk
with you about those things and help you work through
it because we're all on the same boat. So I'm very,
very grateful for that. A great group of friends, you know.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Man, we're grateful for you to be on this radio show,
no doubt, and we're always back in the music you
put out there too. One of our favorites out there,
Peyton Smith p A y t o n. Peytonsmith music
dot com for more information out there too as well,
and of course all the DSPs out there too for
streaming wherever you guys download or stream music for play
this next track. I did want to let people know
because I'm not sure if the schedules are gonna match
up there at CMA Fest. Talking to chasing a lot

(18:24):
of your your team out there too, because if they
do swing on by the booth, we'd love to have you,
for sure one of these in person. But tell us
what you've got planned for CMA Fest twenty twenty five.
It's gonna be busy scheduled.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
For you, right.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
It's gonna be a lot of fun, man. We've we've
got quite a few stages that we're headed to. We're
doing some meet and greet stuff. We're playing on Friday,
We're playing a little bit later in the day at
the hard rock stage. We've got another stage that we're
playing that we haven't announced yet, but we'll be announcing
this this week. So we've got quite a few performances

(18:54):
that week. CMA Fest is just always just it's such
a great time because you get to see so many
artists and team and just people that you don't you
don't always get to see because everybody's in town and
we're all getting to hang out. So I'm really looking
forward to this year. I think it's gonna be a
really special year.

Speaker 9 (19:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
My schedule got booked quick like well this, this, this,

How many shows do you how many shows do you
think you're gonna you're gonna hit while you're while you're
in while you're at Cmfest.

say close to between eighty and ninety shows in four days. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, come on, dude, I mean, where else can you
do that?

Speaker 5 (19:41):
You know, it's crazy, it's pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, where else do you get that from? A radio
station like myself going out there and getting it. I mean,
I think I booked over fifty strong now and we
just we're actually telling people I don't have times left,
just bring them by and I'll squeeze them in. You're
one of those things.

goes out there because people think you just do the
interviews and you go home when it's over. You tear

(25:48):
out there too as well at KYB in ninety eight
point one are affiliates. They're a Bay Area broadcasting network
and of course KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine.
So I mentioned that phrase they're Peyton about she shouldn't Have,
and we've always under those words as guys, no doubt.
But I'm interested to see where this song.

Speaker 9 (26:05):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, thank you man. Yeah, she shouldn't have is uh,
it's super is a super supposed to.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Song for a lot for a lot of reasons.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Now and when we wrote it, I had a very
different view on on the song. Now that I have
a little girl at home, I have a whole another
kind of view of the song. But uh, but it
kind of takes you know, that that phrase she shouldn't
have and basically say, you know what, what she shouldn't have,
what she shouldn't have done, like you know, she she
did this for me, she shouldn't have. She did this

(26:38):
for me, she shouldn't have. And and basically that wraps
up the chorus with like I messed up, I I
you know, I did all these things. She shouldn't have
this broken heart with that broken heart, she she shouldn't have.
And I wrote it with some of my best friends,
Bo Bailey, Cole Miracle, and it's just a it's it's

(27:00):
It's one of those songs that kind of starts off
very kind of mellow and slow, and by the time
you get to the second chorus in the solo, it's
it's exploding. It's rocking, and the song really ramps up really,
really nicely. So that's another one of those songs.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Man.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
This spring, it's the first it's the first time in
a while I feel like we've we've seen people really
showing up to just hear that song and and sing
sing along with with with that song. So super super fun,
super fun to play and and it and it has
a whole nother meaning to me now. So it makes
me realize the kind of guy would not want my
daughter with, you know, is that guy in that song?

(27:38):
That's who I don't want her with?

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, well being a girl dad now too. That happened
in the last five years. I went one day, she
goes elsa, what becoming a dad? Okay, well there we go,
nas she's five years old, start kindergarten too, So yeah, right,
not with that type of guy.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
It comes down to it. Hey, let's have a little
fun and clothes and first I gotta ask you about this.
What Colors Your Wild was a EP that came out
there for you guys back in the twenty twenty three,
I believe May of that year. Love Hits Different and
of course the title track to that too at the
same time, but Missed the boat Man was all in
there and done that too. That's one of those songs
that really I put on my playlist. I was like, yeah,

(28:16):
I've been in that situation, so I know what that
song is all about.

Speaker 5 (28:19):
Right, Yeah, yeah, man, I think missed the boat.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Like I mean, I've literally missed a boat, you know.
You know, I've literally been in that situation too, where
my Dad's been like, hey, we leave it, you know,
five to go out and get on a fishing boat.
And I wasn't there, so so yeah, man, I you know,
I love that phrase. I wrote with David Lee Murphy,
you know, just a legend. It's such a great guy.

(28:43):
It's such a great writer. I've learned so much from him,
and man that that song has really taken our life
of its own too. On socials and playing it live,
it's amazing to hear people talking about how much that
song means to them, and it's it's definitely one of
my favorites to live. It's just it's kind of got
that great tempo that just it's it's rocking, but it's

(29:05):
still kind of mellow, and I don't know some of it.
I kind of feel like it's got a little bit
of a touch of the seventies chords, which I'm a
big fan of. I love anything that's like old seventies
rock and roll, kind of like Eagles chords and stuff.
So we tried to throw a little bit on that track.
But yeah, I love playing that song.

Speaker 7 (29:23):
Man.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
It's a lot of fun, good stuff right there too.
All right, So I'm gonna try this place called the
Foodie that I am too checking out all the new
restaurants there in Nashville. Gotta try this Bar Taco. I
keep hearing about it too, one of the best ones there.
Just in the mood for something good out there for you.
Have you got any into anything that's feels like Nashville's
got restaurants on every corner. Have you got anything new
out there right now? As far as type of food

(29:46):
you're you're out when you dine out, for sure.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
It's funny you say Bartaco.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
I think me and my wife are going to Bar
Taco tonight actually.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
So we're gonna go hit that up.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
That's her favorite spot. So she loves that spot. I
don't know, man, Like Nashville, there seems to always be
a new restaurant opening every every day. I'm trying to
think of there's a great there's a great sushi spot
called Oku that I really love a lot. Let's see,

(30:15):
I mean, there's hot chicken, you know, all over the place.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Great hot chicken places.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I'm hoping soon, man, they're going to open up. I'm
sure there's some Cajun restaurants here, but I haven't. I
haven't been to them yet, but I'm hoping that they're
going to open up a really great Cajun restaurant here soon.
Maybe maybe there is, and I don't know about it,
but uh man, there's there's such a variety of food
in Nashville. I mean, you can't go wrong with you know,
kind of pick something. You know, there's a lot of

(30:41):
a lot of different kind of food here.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
It really is, dude. It's got a gam it out
there too. If you want to find something out there,
you can find it there in Nashville, Tennessee. Always kind
of call it like, you know, one of the big markets,
test market that can bring something there, see if it works,
and then of course kind of feel it out a
little bit if it gets a good crowd coming in.
But hey, Hattie Beanes is still my favorite hot chicken
for love.

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Oh, no doubt, no doubt, man, no doubt it is.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
It is the best. What do you what's your order there?
What do you get the tenders?

Speaker 7 (31:06):
Man?

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I got to get a medium, the tenders because the
hot hot is too hot.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, I feel that the medium. It's surprising, man, the
medium can get pretty hot. The medium can get pretty hot.
