Speaker 5 (00:31):
All, this is Nashville recording artist Taylor Austin I and
you're listening to the Backstage Pass on KKTC True Country
ninety nine point nine.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
And welcome inside the Backstage Past KKTC True Country ninety
nine point nine and powered by the Sports Guys podcast
dot com, at present of our friends over at Decata
and Gordonshow dot com Today's best country mix, and of
course out there seven nights a week, six to seven
Mountain time there on True Country ninety nine point nine.
And speaking of True Country, your new album is out
across all the digital streaming platforms. She's sick of Us
(01:01):
and I'm just kidding sick of Me as a title
of it. Out there Taylor often Died joined us here
in Nashville recording artists, one of the top women in
pursuit of her dreams right now and paving the way
for women's country out there. Taylor, how you doing.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I'm fantastic. How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's good to have you here on the show. Finally,
we've set this up a while back and I was like,
you know what, set Serve and Spike, we're gonna get
this thing done. To use those volleyball terms there too. Hey,
let's talk about this one too. You've been at this
thing for a long time and now this new album
is out for everybody to here to listen to a
lot of great songs on there. We're gonna play a
couple of here called Sick of Me. That's one of
the ones we're gonna play here in just a little bit.
(01:33):
But talk about your background and we'll get into the album. Man,
it just seems like country music was always something that,
at least I feel like you wanted to do ever
since a young age, and you've taken the reins of
this thing and really just kind of fired off, haven't you.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I'm trucking, you know. I started playing music when I
was five years old. I was actually professionally playing when
I was five. I was on what's called the Rentfro
Valley Barn Dance in eastern Kentucky. I did that every thing.
It was Friday night, and I would sing and clog
and play the fiddle on stage in front of about
a thousand people every night. And that's just kind of
(02:09):
where I've a little fire underneath me. I loved it.
I was never, you know, I never had stage fright
or anything like that. It was just it felt like
it was what I was supposed to be doing. And
from then I was just hooked on it. And I
couldn't get enough.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Talk about the idols because a lot of your music too,
at least I feel for some of those songs, including
Waterme Doown and Bible Belt and some of the great
songs you put out there on these records and as
singles really take people back to that nineties country sound.
Was that kind of your era?
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Was?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It seemed like you were kind of drawn to that
with some of those great female artists and probably a
male artists who at the same time that really personified
nineties country.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Oh. I mean, I think there's really no better time
in country music than the nineties. I think we can
all agree that it's top tier. And you know, even
going back to the eighties and seventies, I'm a huge
Haint junior fan. He's one of my all time favorites,
you know, Whaling Merle. But then fast forward to the nineties.
The girls like Jody Messina, Martina McBride, like all those
(03:02):
people that kind of raised my generation were obviously such
a huge influence on me. You know, sit in the
back of my mom's ninety five Cadillac, we'd be jamming
to the country station and that's what I would hear
and learn and learn to singing along to.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, those songs. Every time you mentioned that first hit
of that song instrumentation that hits, you're like, I know,
that's going to be a lot of those artists that
you mentioned right here. That's Faith Hill, That'sriba, that's Terry,
that's Martina McBride, that's just all the great artists. They
really defined that decade too. Hey, let me ask you
this being a female in the industry. I mentioned how many,
so many great females are doing their thing out there
on the rise right now with you know, Laney on
(03:37):
Fire and of course Ashley Cook and Hannah Ellis yourself included.
So many things are happening for ladies. Talk about that
in just this women's movement now and this girl power
in country music.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I think we still have a long way to go,
but over the last few years, just the rise and
female artists has been incredible. And you know, that's a
lot of my friends and colleagues, and it's just incredible
to see them really take off and get the attention
they deserve. And I'm so so glad for it. And
I think it's only going to get better.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, no doubt they're going to a lot of it's
gonna get better. Of course, with the CMA Awards up
and fast approaching than your ACM Awards coming up in
the spring and all that good stuff, and then CRS
and of course CMA Week comes back around for June
twenty twenty five. Just talk about some goals and things. Obviously,
this album is out for everybody to hear Sick of Me,
which is going to be your sophomore highly anticipated album
out there too, coming off that first album that you
(04:29):
were able to put out out there, which was Out
of These Hills, which I love that one too. At
the same time, building off of that success and what
you're most excited about now for the sophomore album and
for people to hear with the music included.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
You know, this album, We've been working on it pretty
much ever since Out of These Hills dropped last year
in September. I've been writing toward this and I've got
a lot of new favorites on this album that I
think a lot of people are really going to resonate with.
You know, I'm not afraid to dig into the nitty gritty,
and I think there's definitely some songs on there that
really gets you in your feels, And I'm excited to
hear everyone's respons and see how all the Rider Dies
(05:01):
feel about it. But I know they're gonna love it, no.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Doubt about it. Till love it Rider Dies. So the
whay you go, We're gonna play one off the album
right now. It is the title track from Taylor Austin
Die album. Across all those digital streaming platforms, Sick of me,
you'll get the gist of this one. And that's the
title of the song. Here. It is kk t C
True Country ninety nine point nine. Back in the flash,

Speaker 3 (08:54):

Speaker 10 (08:56):
We've been talking about country music. You can hear it
the Ford guyodcam dot com.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
The Cadan Gordon Show is a two hour show playing
the best in country music. So check it out at
the Cadangordonshow dot com. Again, that is the Cadangordon Show
dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And back here when Taylor often die the backstage pass
powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot com and KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine and that was Sick
of Me off the album across all those DSPs out
there and wherever you guys download or stream music, so
a great feel. Of course, we had to play the
clean version for radio, no doubt about it. But there
is the not so clean version out there too, people
(09:42):
can hear with the album drops there across all the
platforms coming up there, just out there right now November
fifteenth and then forward and a big push on this
coming up through the holidays and a Christmas. How did
this particular title and the title of that album come about.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Well, I think going back to this, I just really
like to write song that other people might be afraid
of the topic, you know, and I think we all
have been at one point or another in your life,
just like fed up with yourself and some choices that
you make and things that you do and you wish
you didn't do. And this is just kind of owning
(10:16):
up to that and saying, hey, I messed up. It's
my fault. I don't blame you for being sick of me.
I'm sick of me too. And that's just kind of
the theme of the album, not so much negativity, but
just a little bit of that not being afraid to
really get in there and take ownership for your emotions
and actions. And you can hear that through some of
the rest of the songs as well.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I love it too, that's the attitude. I can't wait
the sass on the record to get up in two
step on the dance floor too. And you feld a
lot of songs like that, and there's a little something
for everybody on this record. Go ahead and kind of
echo those centiments a little bit, no pun intending for
the song we're about to play, call that Goo. But
looking back at it, the body of work on this
some more great songs that either you wrote, were pitched,
things like that that come into play for just great tunes.
(10:58):
Because I always say so, even though it's a great idea,
can make the album, because not everything can make the cut.
But you guys have put out a strong set of
songs that are really going to resonate with fans. I
feel like you have.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, there's a little bit of everything on there. I mean,
it's rocking and then at the same time, it does
have those soft spots and those intimate moments in there,
which I think is a really important balance to have.
And when you listen down, I mean, I feel like
it's got a good dynamic to it and I'm really
proud of it.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And no doubt about it. Let's go back to that
first one there before we play echo here in a
little bit off the new record the Sick of Me
Out of These Hills, which I thought was fantastic too.
To listen to this one too, because Bible Belts really
set the tone. You get a lot of streams with
this one too at the same time, and people know
when they talk about Bible Belt with this particular album
for Out of These Hills, that one set the tone
(11:45):
for the record. I know you guys are excited about
that one.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Oh, Bible Belt's one of my all time favorite songs
that I've ever written, if not my favorite, And it's
just a lot of people have come forward to me saying,
you know, this has been my life and thank you
for bringing awareness and attention to it. And you know,
a lot of people are. You know, it will be
easy to write a song like that and take it
from a judgmental standpoint, but if you listen to the song,
(12:09):
it's not from a place of judgment. It's a place
of understanding, because you know, I grew up in one
of the poorest counties in the nation, and I just
grew up seeing that type of thing. And you know,
people do a lot of things they don't want to
do just to get by, so it's kind of a
it's from a place of understanding more than anything.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, I love it. Then you get one called the
green truck, which is a super identifiable to people that
have had something like that too, or just something in
the family, kind of that possession. You know that you
can be known by that at the same time, or
at least know somebody who's had that particular I love
colors in songs, and I really feel like colors are
kind of like rainbow's out there. At least my daughter
says that, hey, it's a rainbow. It's rainbow. I know
it's got a lot of the good colors and all
(12:48):
that good stuff. But when you can identify a truck
and really put a color to it, that makes a
song that much more stand out, at least for me.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Yeah, that song was definitely one of the more personal
songs I'd ever written. I wrote it I Win and
wrote it one week after my dad passed away last year,
and we knew we had something special with that song,
and it just had such emotion and it really helped
me grieve in my own kind of weird way.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
We all need to grieve, no doubt, Let's talk about
another one off there, which is all of us. Hey,
we hear these words all the time, rest in Peace.
But at the same time, it's that sense of closure
and that sense of, like you said, that feeling of
at least the grieving. Another one there that people can
resonate with too, And I loved it because it really
put just another great spind on this record. Y'all really
did a great job with that too.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Rest in Peace has been everyone's favorite so far, and honestly,
it's so much fun to play live and hear the
writer does sing back. And so many people that have
suffered from domestic abuse and domestic violence has come up
to me and just said, thank you for this song.
You know, it's it's helped me get out of this
situation or it's gave me hope, and you know that's
what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Let's talk about a million dollar question here too, because
I love this damage control. Where did this one come from?
This backstory? Because this one had a good kind of
to it. At the same time, too, we could all
resonate with this one and or at least having experienced
to understand what damage control is all.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
About, and you know when you go out and you
just go too hard, and that's me a lot of
the time, and then you wake up the next morning
and you realize you made some bad life decisions. You know,
you punched a guy, you texted your ex, you drained
your bank account behind the whole bar of shot, and
just about waking up that next morning and trying to
put the pieces back together. And I think we've all
(14:27):
been there at least once or twice, some more than others,
so that one comes from a place of true experience.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I'll tell you that, all right. Interested in the writing
of this because all songs don't necessarily have to be
a hit to make somebody feel something. Tempt the devil.
Let's get a backstory on that one.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, bro, this is my friend Kelly Johnson, and she
had the idea and we kind of just started getting
after it and I was like, this could be really funky,
and it's just like it's kind of a spin off
of Damage Control about you know, being tempted by having
too much a good time, and it's just funky fun
I really love to play that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
One to you, you know, I can't wait to get
to one of your live shows. One day out there too,
either close to Texas or in Tennessee out there too,
and just be a guest of yours too, because you
bring that. Seen a lot of the videos out there
through Instagram, Facebook and along your socials and TikTok things
like that. You guys bring it. And you got one
hell of a band. I got to commend your band
out there too, because they do one hell of a
job to bring the energy and captivate the crowd and
(15:25):
really bring the crowd's emotions out, you know, physically, mentally,
emotionally and singing those songs back at you. That feeling.
I'll never know what that's like. I mean, I know
what it's like from a radio show standpoint when you
get to broadcast live from those remotes and things like that,
which is always fun and get the adrenaline pumping. But
for you guys, it's got to be a blast on
stage to entertain the phoks can buy those tickets.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
It's the most fun. And big shout to Ben, Scotty
and Jason because they they are excellent players and I'm
fortunate to have them. And it is the best feeling
in the world when you look out and people are
just screaming your songs back to you. And that's been
happening more and more recently and I can't get enough
of it.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Talk about the team behind you, and we talk about
this with the management, of course, with the job Austin
does too. I got to give you props out there too,
because any great manager stands behind their artists too at
the same time, and people have great teams of publicists, managers,
record labels, people that do things to set up the stage,
get the show ready. You know, your sound crew, things
like that. It would not be possible to do what
(16:20):
you do without those great people standing behind you, right
those team players.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Oh man, it takes a village. I've got my photographer
on board, of course, and she also slings merch show.
She's our little pok Era, a little Swiss army knife.
We caller and Lex and Austin are amazing. Ben takes
care of a lot, so even my mom comes and
cooks his dinner half the time. So it's it takes
a village to get this show on the road. And
(16:44):
there's a lot of people behind the scenes that you
don't see that they are working their butt off.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I got you on that too. No doubt about it too.
We could echo those sentiments right there too. Here comes
the next song from Taylor Austin Died See What I Did.
They're a good transition right here from Taylor Austin Died
Taylor Austin Died, Dye Dot God makes you got. Check
it out for the tickets, tour dates and merch out
there too, And of course the new album you can
previeut out across all those digital streaming platforms, and you
can go by it because it's available across all those
(17:08):
digital streaming platforms as of November fifteenth. We're gonna echo
here on the backstage pass from the album Sick of Me.
Stay tuned for more coming right back. KKTC True Country
ninety nine point nine, Stay two.

Country ninety nine point nine. The album out across all
the digital streaming platforms where if you guys download or
stream your music and also get your podcast out there.
The album Sick of Me from Taylor Austin die back
here on your KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine.
So echo this one had a great feel to it too,
and another story that was well told by you guys.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Thank you. This one was kind of funny the way
it came about. I was writing with the tall Yallipsits
and Jamie Colozzo, and we're all good friends. So we
were just sitting around. We had no idea what we're
gonna write, and Jamie is our track guy. He had
a bunch of plugins pulled up and different things on
the computer, and there was one titled Echo, and we're like, oh,
(22:08):
that could be a cool song title. And so we
start going from there, like, you know, what could this
be about? And we just kind of built this story
about basically living with the ghost of somebody who's not
there anymore, whether it be a lost loved one or
a loved one that just left you, you know. And
so it was funny how it came about, because it
just literally came from the title Echo.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Which is another great song out there on the new
album Sick of Me, which is the sophomore album from
Taylor Austin Diamiks, you guys are checking it out. We're
gonna be playing the music and have played the music
there on KKTC True Country in Our Morning. Collins was
Shelley there on ninety nine nine True country. I love
duets and duets who are becoming more common these days.
Crossover of genres and the mix of music that's making
the industry more versatile. Out there tonight, I need you.
(22:51):
You did one with Mason Horne I believe was two
thousand and twenty two. Talk about just getting to know
Mason and of course building that relationship out there able
to put this great song out.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yeah, I had never met Mason before, and he was
working a little bit with my manager, and he had
another manager as well, and we're kind of all working together.
And then they were looking for an artist who sing
on this song, and I wasn't even being managed by
Lex yet, and they found me on TikTok and Lex
(23:22):
was like, wait a minute, I know her husband, so
he gave me a call and set the whole thing up.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Now.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Of course, I've been working with Lex for about two years,
and it's kind of funny how those pieces fit together.
But Mason's a great kid, and I think he's putting
out some new stuff recently too, so I'm really excited
for him. He's a great songwriter and I was really
really fortunate to be on that song because I think
it's a hit.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Here's the title of a song I haven't heard in
a while. This has been pretty cool for you single
guys are released here in twenty twenty four. I think
it's really awesome because we all understand what this is about. Pharmacy.
Let's go there, Let's dive into this one and talk
all about this one. I love this title and I
love the way you expressed it man, the energy in
it too.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, this one's pretty heavy, honestly, you know, being from
eastern Kentucky, once again, I've seen firsthand the opioid epidemic
which has been you know, rampant in the area all
over the country really, but especially in the Appalachian area
and just kind of really taken from that and what
I've seen around and the gist of the song is
(24:20):
you're gonna need the whole pharmacy to get over this person.
And it's just kind of you know, it is a
heavy song, but I think a lot of people really
relate to it when you just hurt so bad and
you start to get physical ailments from a heartbreak and
saying you know, you're just gonna need to take everything
to black it out.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Really, it really sends that message. No doubt, and you
mentioned that struggle we've all had out there to or
know somebody who has out there too. Not me personally,
but definitely you know, if you come from the an
area that's had struggles or just a person that's had struggles.
A lot of meaning to a song, so definitely heavy
in those words, and they really can resonate to heart
and help somebody kind of pull themselves out of a
very tough situation. Here a song like that, all right,
(25:00):
a fun time and to get out of the dance
floor for this one, because I loved it and I
probably warned it out. If there was a vinyl it
would have been broke by me by now. But twenty
twenty one, going back to the nineties country, you mentioned
all those great ladies the top that really influenced you
as an artist growing up. It just kind of feels
like you're always deemed to do this, But twenty twenty one,
water me down. This had to be so much fun
(25:21):
to record it, man, y'all just really made this come
to life and dance hall type music. Get out there
on the dance floor and swing it and go and
enjoy your drink and have fun with this song.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
It's a sassy song man. And I was getting ready
to move downtown and I always keep notebooks that are
just filled with song ideas, and I found this notebook
that i'd forgot about, and I started flipping through it
and I wrote down something about water down whiskey or
ice waters down my whiskey, and I was like, wait
a minute, that could be a cool song. So I
wrote the chorus and then I set on it for
(25:52):
a few months, and then I called up my friend
Kelly Johnson, which also has written a few songs with me,
Timpa devi Will being one of them. And I said, Kelly,
I have this idea and I just need some help
executing it. And she came over to my house and
we wrote the whole song, the rest of it in
forty five minutes. So when I came out, I was like,
everyone needs a good honkey talking song. Let's make it really,
(26:14):
really country. And that's kind of how it came about,
and it's been one of everybody's The writer dies love
that one, and I love singing it.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I'm sure it's a show favorite, do Dad. The energy
you bring to it is a lot of fun and
definitely a saloon or a bar. People get the jest
of that when you're like you said, you start about
let's see, what is it six o'clock. And I've been
to some concerts recently too, and I don't drink anymore,
but people have told me too at the same time,
they're like, yeah, I started about five or six and
we finished about two am to close the place down
or after the concert. So water Me Down is one
(26:43):
of my favorite songs out there too, that Miss Taylor
Austin Dies put out there all right. I love another
great artist who's doing this thing out there too, Sean
Stemley and put out one there too that just really
caught my attention, which I loved it. The two of
us talk about this one. A little backstory.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, so Sean had came to me. We're close friends,
and he came to me and just said, hey, I
really want you to be on this song. Will you
take a listen to it see if you like it?
And of course I loved it as super western cowboy
type songs with them, and yeah, I immediately fell in
love with it. So I was more than happy to
jump on that. And we had a great time promoting
(27:20):
for it, and you know, we just got an excuse
to hang out and ride four wheelers and shoot guns
and you know, just hang out. So it was it
was fun looking back on that. We went to the
zoo and filmed some of it. We rode the carousel.
I mean, we just had a great time with it.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
The fun of music and stories behind it, no doubt,
early October this was really cool because this had deep
meaning when it came down to hurt my feelings which
you guys had put out there in early October talk
about this one too, and really, like I said, one
of those songs that you get the just up too.
Everybody's been through a bad experience and had their feelings
hurt there too, and they can understand the just of
(27:57):
this one.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Yeah, I mean, the whole idea is that you just
want to get rid of your feelings so much like
you want to, like the song says, wish I could
rip this weight right off my chest, drown this weakness,
catch my breath, put a fish through the wall that
I've been building up inside. You know, you want to
just get rid of all your emotions because for me, personally,
I would do way better if I didn't have any
(28:19):
I feel like. So I think everyone gets to that point,
you know, where you're just so emotional about things you
wish that you didn't even have any feelings at all.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It's a great way to tell a story, no doubt
about it too. All right, let's go back to August
when this one came out to Almost Oklahoma, and I
love this suspend here too, which is there. I live
in Texas, so it's our northern buddies right there, just
north of us.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Too.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
A long way to get there, but hey, you got
to get there somehow, Almost Oklahoma. Beautiful story told.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
It's very sad, and you know it didn't originally start
out as a sad song. I wrote. This is my
friend J B. Patterson and he's a Texas guy. You
might know him from JB and the Meonshine Bandy. He's
one of my favorite people to write with, and he
brought this tide. And the original idea was that this
person that you met in Oklahoma was like the most
fun you've ever had in your life. But you meet
(29:08):
these other people and they're just don't they don't compare.
But so we started writing and that's what it was
originally about. But then I was like, wait a minute,
what if it's I literally said, wait, what if she's dead?
And JV was like, you are sick. But it actually
turned out really beautiful and kind of trying to live
up to you know that this guy's first love that
(29:28):
has unfortunately passed away. And I think it's a really
unique spin on that IDEA.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Great song, no doubt, sad song tells the right story too.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I love this is when it comes down to it.
But this, I love your cover of this one. I
got to talk about now too. You're on that you
got that I love first of all. I love you
love cowgirl hats person, and you look creating up to
no doubt about it. You sure, those cowgirl outfits and
those cowgirl hats, and you're like picking up the phone
on this one too. I love it. It's got that
kind of that aqua almost that green blue kind of color.
I say blue, but more aqua. They're uh, poison in
(29:59):
the well. And I know fans want to know the
story about this one, including.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Me of course. So like I said, I'm from a
real small town in eastern Kentucky, population one fifty seven
and there is not a lot to do, so a
lot of people go to the diner by the courthouse
every morning and get breakfast. And while they're getting their breakfast,
they also get all the gossip that's going around town.
And so this song is just about the rumor meal
(30:23):
that is the diner in my hometown and how everybody
just weaves the tails, whether they know the truth or not.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
It's the truth too. I remember, you know, I missed
those old diners too, so I have to go back
and wherever in Kentucky there too is is that diner
still there?
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Oh yeah, love them.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
They got great food, great food, no doubt. I used
to have one here called Gary's Coffee Shop back in
the day. And I'm just in my forties now, but
looking back at it, I miss those old diner days
where you go put a quarter in a jukebox and
they're like, yeah, what's a jukebox? All the kids listening
today too, But hey, you know what, it was back
here in night era too. We had some of the
best times getting across those small diners, ordering food, just
catching up on gossip and all the good stuff. And
(31:00):
I still say I'm a part of it. I love
Friday night football, so it was big in Texas and
I'm sure that's big in Kentucky too. At the same time,
when it comes to that football, right, everybody loves UK.
I had too college football. I was gonna ask you
about that too. You find yourself sitting around I guess
the TV on Saturday, you and the hobby kind of
watching UK football.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I couldn't tell you the last time we've been home
on a Saturday, to be honest, or a Sunday. So
we are on the road so much we do not
have time to keep up with much anything.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I got you too, what today? What I know the
Titans are not off to the great start this year too.
They had such a high turnover. I know they miss
Derrick Henry and in the worst way too at the
same time, but it's still cool to go to that
stadium and just watch those games. And I think, as
I kind of pulled that into it, are you guys
Titan fans too as well?
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Like I said, we don't keep up, but we do.
We support them one hundred percent. I couldn't tell you
any players or if they've won or lost the game,
but yeah, we support them.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
All right when not doing music. And I guess you
guys do have some downtime. What are some other fun
kind of hobbies you get into.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
We love to go well, we love to go out
and hear our buddies play music. I guess that's still music.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
We go.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Riding. We have a razor down at the farm and
we love to take it out there and just get
on the trails and hang out around the campfire. We
try to spend as much time outside as we can,
and we like to kayak. And I know, unfortunately it's
getting cold outside now, so hopefully we'll find some winter
activities we can do.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I wish you're in Texas. I could say it's getting
cold outside. It's been hot down here too, just humid,
and I'm ready for It's like here we are November
in Texas, down here by Houston where I'm at, and
I'm like, man, we need of the cold. Front's going
to come in, not just come in, but stick around
for a while. So you're saying Nashville's getting cold, that's already,
send police for me.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
It was like sixty five today.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Send some of that our way, all right. Had Taylor
Austin die had never been a musician, whatever the career
path would you have chosen.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
I would. I think I would still being music. I
was a radio DJ for about a year and a
half in Central Kentucky and I love being on the radio,
so I would love to do that. Or makeup. I
think I would be all right makeup artists.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
All right. Favorite food and favorite ice cream.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Mexican food, hands down. Give me a Chimmy chonggun a
Mountain dew and I'm ready to go. Favorite ice cream
dark chocolate raspberry from Magnum. You can get a croper.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I like that, all right. Here's one I had to
pulled out in a while. Maybe one of the weirdest
things that's happened at a concert, your show's, or any
show you've seen that either somebody was out of line,
or somebody just had too a little bit too much fun,
or somebody just knew every word to every song. What's
kind of one, I guess if there is a weird
thing that's happened or a show.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
You've been to, I mean, how much time do you
got I can talk about my stalkers? No, I think
one of the most the funniest thing was we were
at Walkin's Glenn Speedway playing a NASCAR event and someone
passed up a mannequin from the crowd and her name
was no Nees Denise because it was only from the
waist up and I shot gun to beer out of her,
(34:07):
out of her parts.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
I love that. We had plenty of times that was.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Very fun, and I think that was one of my
favorite times.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I love it. Tu you the first one to come
on the show and say they've shot good to beer
and say those lines in quite quite some time too.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I don't think a lot of people have said those
words in sequence like that, so it's fun.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
I love it those stories that come out authentic, just
as the music is too out there and sick of me.

of it. Out there Taylor often Died joined us here
in Nashville recording artists, one of the top women in
pursuit of her dreams right now and paving the way
for women's country out there. Taylor, how you doing.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I'm fantastic. How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's good to have you here on the show. Finally,
we've set this up a while back and I was like,
you know what, set Serve and Spike, we're gonna get
this thing done. To use those volleyball terms there too. Hey,
let's talk about this one too. You've been at this
thing for a long time and now this new album
is out for everybody to here to listen to a
lot of great songs on there. We're gonna play a
couple of here called Sick of Me. That's one of
the ones we're gonna play here in just a little bit.
(01:33):
But talk about your background and we'll get into the album. Man,
it just seems like country music was always something that,
at least I feel like you wanted to do ever
since a young age, and you've taken the reins of
this thing and really just kind of fired off, haven't you.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
I'm trucking, you know. I started playing music when I
was five years old. I was actually professionally playing when
I was five. I was on what's called the Rentfro
Valley Barn Dance in eastern Kentucky. I did that every thing.
It was Friday night, and I would sing and clog
and play the fiddle on stage in front of about
a thousand people every night. And that's just kind of
(02:09):
where I've a little fire underneath me. I loved it.
I was never, you know, I never had stage fright
or anything like that. It was just it felt like
it was what I was supposed to be doing. And
from then I was just hooked on it. And I
couldn't get enough.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Talk about the idols because a lot of your music too,
at least I feel for some of those songs, including
Waterme Doown and Bible Belt and some of the great
songs you put out there on these records and as
singles really take people back to that nineties country sound.
Was that kind of your era?
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Was?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
It seemed like you were kind of drawn to that
with some of those great female artists and probably a
male artists who at the same time that really personified
nineties country.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Oh. I mean, I think there's really no better time
in country music than the nineties. I think we can
all agree that it's top tier. And you know, even
going back to the eighties and seventies, I'm a huge
Haint junior fan. He's one of my all time favorites,
you know, Whaling Merle. But then fast forward to the nineties.
The girls like Jody Messina, Martina McBride, like all those
(03:02):
people that kind of raised my generation were obviously such
a huge influence on me. You know, sit in the
back of my mom's ninety five Cadillac, we'd be jamming
to the country station and that's what I would hear
and learn and learn to singing along to.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, those songs. Every time you mentioned that first hit
of that song instrumentation that hits, you're like, I know,
that's going to be a lot of those artists that
you mentioned right here. That's Faith Hill, That'sriba, that's Terry,
that's Martina McBride, that's just all the great artists. They
really defined that decade too. Hey, let me ask you
this being a female in the industry. I mentioned how many,
so many great females are doing their thing out there
on the rise right now with you know, Laney on
(03:37):
Fire and of course Ashley Cook and Hannah Ellis yourself included.
So many things are happening for ladies. Talk about that
in just this women's movement now and this girl power
in country music.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
I think we still have a long way to go,
but over the last few years, just the rise and
female artists has been incredible. And you know, that's a
lot of my friends and colleagues, and it's just incredible
to see them really take off and get the attention
they deserve. And I'm so so glad for it. And
I think it's only going to get better.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, no doubt they're going to a lot of it's
gonna get better. Of course, with the CMA Awards up
and fast approaching than your ACM Awards coming up in
the spring and all that good stuff, and then CRS
and of course CMA Week comes back around for June
twenty twenty five. Just talk about some goals and things. Obviously,
this album is out for everybody to hear Sick of Me,
which is going to be your sophomore highly anticipated album
out there too, coming off that first album that you
(04:29):
were able to put out out there, which was Out
of These Hills, which I love that one too. At
the same time, building off of that success and what
you're most excited about now for the sophomore album and
for people to hear with the music included.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
You know, this album, We've been working on it pretty
much ever since Out of These Hills dropped last year
in September. I've been writing toward this and I've got
a lot of new favorites on this album that I
think a lot of people are really going to resonate with.
You know, I'm not afraid to dig into the nitty gritty,
and I think there's definitely some songs on there that
really gets you in your feels, And I'm excited to
hear everyone's respons and see how all the Rider Dies
(05:01):
feel about it. But I know they're gonna love it, no.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Doubt about it. Till love it Rider Dies. So the
whay you go, We're gonna play one off the album
right now. It is the title track from Taylor Austin
Die album. Across all those digital streaming platforms, Sick of me,
you'll get the gist of this one. And that's the
title of the song. Here. It is kk t C

We've been talking about country music. You can hear it

Speaker 6 (09:06):
The Cadan Gordon Show is a two hour show playing
the best in country music. So check it out at
the Cadangordonshow dot com. Again, that is the Cadangordon Show
dot com.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And back here when Taylor often die the backstage pass
powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot com and KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine and that was Sick
of Me off the album across all those DSPs out
there and wherever you guys download or stream music, so
a great feel. Of course, we had to play the
clean version for radio, no doubt about it. But there
is the not so clean version out there too, people
(09:42):
can hear with the album drops there across all the
platforms coming up there, just out there right now November
fifteenth and then forward and a big push on this
coming up through the holidays and a Christmas. How did
this particular title and the title of that album come about.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Well, I think going back to this, I just really
like to write song that other people might be afraid
of the topic, you know, and I think we all
have been at one point or another in your life,
just like fed up with yourself and some choices that
you make and things that you do and you wish
you didn't do. And this is just kind of owning
(10:16):
up to that and saying, hey, I messed up. It's
my fault. I don't blame you for being sick of me.
I'm sick of me too. And that's just kind of
the theme of the album, not so much negativity, but
just a little bit of that not being afraid to
really get in there and take ownership for your emotions
and actions. And you can hear that through some of
the rest of the songs as well.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I love it too, that's the attitude. I can't wait
the sass on the record to get up in two
step on the dance floor too. And you feld a
lot of songs like that, and there's a little something
for everybody on this record. Go ahead and kind of
echo those centiments a little bit, no pun intending for
the song we're about to play, call that Goo. But
looking back at it, the body of work on this
some more great songs that either you wrote, were pitched,
things like that that come into play for just great tunes.
(10:58):
Because I always say so, even though it's a great idea,
can make the album, because not everything can make the cut.
But you guys have put out a strong set of
songs that are really going to resonate with fans. I
feel like you have.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Yeah, there's a little bit of everything on there. I mean,
it's rocking and then at the same time, it does
have those soft spots and those intimate moments in there,
which I think is a really important balance to have.
And when you listen down, I mean, I feel like
it's got a good dynamic to it and I'm really
proud of it.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
And no doubt about it. Let's go back to that
first one there before we play echo here in a
little bit off the new record the Sick of Me
Out of These Hills, which I thought was fantastic too.
To listen to this one too, because Bible Belts really
set the tone. You get a lot of streams with
this one too at the same time, and people know
when they talk about Bible Belt with this particular album
for Out of These Hills, that one set the tone
(11:45):
for the record. I know you guys are excited about
that one.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Oh, Bible Belt's one of my all time favorite songs
that I've ever written, if not my favorite, And it's
just a lot of people have come forward to me saying,
you know, this has been my life and thank you
for bringing awareness and attention to it. And you know,
a lot of people are. You know, it will be
easy to write a song like that and take it
from a judgmental standpoint, but if you listen to the song,
(12:09):
it's not from a place of judgment. It's a place
of understanding, because you know, I grew up in one
of the poorest counties in the nation, and I just
grew up seeing that type of thing. And you know,
people do a lot of things they don't want to
do just to get by, so it's kind of a
it's from a place of understanding more than anything.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, I love it. Then you get one called the
green truck, which is a super identifiable to people that
have had something like that too, or just something in
the family, kind of that possession. You know that you
can be known by that at the same time, or
at least know somebody who's had that particular I love
colors in songs, and I really feel like colors are
kind of like rainbow's out there. At least my daughter
says that, hey, it's a rainbow. It's rainbow. I know
it's got a lot of the good colors and all
(12:48):
that good stuff. But when you can identify a truck
and really put a color to it, that makes a
song that much more stand out, at least for me.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Yeah, that song was definitely one of the more personal
songs I'd ever written. I wrote it I Win and
wrote it one week after my dad passed away last year,
and we knew we had something special with that song,
and it just had such emotion and it really helped
me grieve in my own kind of weird way.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
We all need to grieve, no doubt, Let's talk about
another one off there, which is all of us. Hey,
we hear these words all the time, rest in Peace.
But at the same time, it's that sense of closure
and that sense of, like you said, that feeling of
at least the grieving. Another one there that people can
resonate with too, And I loved it because it really
put just another great spind on this record. Y'all really
did a great job with that too.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Rest in Peace has been everyone's favorite so far, and honestly,
it's so much fun to play live and hear the
writer does sing back. And so many people that have
suffered from domestic abuse and domestic violence has come up
to me and just said, thank you for this song.
You know, it's it's helped me get out of this
situation or it's gave me hope, and you know that's
what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Let's talk about a million dollar question here too, because
I love this damage control. Where did this one come from?
This backstory? Because this one had a good kind of
to it. At the same time, too, we could all
resonate with this one and or at least having experienced
to understand what damage control is all.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
About, and you know when you go out and you
just go too hard, and that's me a lot of
the time, and then you wake up the next morning
and you realize you made some bad life decisions. You know,
you punched a guy, you texted your ex, you drained
your bank account behind the whole bar of shot, and
just about waking up that next morning and trying to
put the pieces back together. And I think we've all
(14:27):
been there at least once or twice, some more than others,
so that one comes from a place of true experience.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I'll tell you that, all right. Interested in the writing
of this because all songs don't necessarily have to be
a hit to make somebody feel something. Tempt the devil.
Let's get a backstory on that one.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, bro, this is my friend Kelly Johnson, and she
had the idea and we kind of just started getting
after it and I was like, this could be really funky,
and it's just like it's kind of a spin off
of Damage Control about you know, being tempted by having
too much a good time, and it's just funky fun
I really love to play that.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
One to you, you know, I can't wait to get
to one of your live shows. One day out there too,
either close to Texas or in Tennessee out there too,
and just be a guest of yours too, because you
bring that. Seen a lot of the videos out there
through Instagram, Facebook and along your socials and TikTok things
like that. You guys bring it. And you got one
hell of a band. I got to commend your band
out there too, because they do one hell of a
job to bring the energy and captivate the crowd and
(15:25):
really bring the crowd's emotions out, you know, physically, mentally,
emotionally and singing those songs back at you. That feeling.
I'll never know what that's like. I mean, I know
what it's like from a radio show standpoint when you
get to broadcast live from those remotes and things like that,
which is always fun and get the adrenaline pumping. But
for you guys, it's got to be a blast on
stage to entertain the phoks can buy those tickets.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
It's the most fun. And big shout to Ben, Scotty
and Jason because they they are excellent players and I'm
fortunate to have them. And it is the best feeling
in the world when you look out and people are
just screaming your songs back to you. And that's been
happening more and more recently and I can't get enough
of it.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Talk about the team behind you, and we talk about
this with the management, of course, with the job Austin
does too. I got to give you props out there too,
because any great manager stands behind their artists too at
the same time, and people have great teams of publicists, managers,
record labels, people that do things to set up the stage,
get the show ready. You know, your sound crew, things
like that. It would not be possible to do what
(16:20):
you do without those great people standing behind you, right
those team players.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Oh man, it takes a village. I've got my photographer
on board, of course, and she also slings merch show.
She's our little pok Era, a little Swiss army knife.
We caller and Lex and Austin are amazing. Ben takes
care of a lot, so even my mom comes and
cooks his dinner half the time. So it's it takes
a village to get this show on the road. And
(16:44):
there's a lot of people behind the scenes that you
don't see that they are working their butt off.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I got you on that too. No doubt about it too.
We could echo those sentiments right there too. Here comes
the next song from Taylor Austin Died See What I Did.
They're a good transition right here from Taylor Austin Died
Taylor Austin Died, Dye Dot God makes you got. Check
it out for the tickets, tour dates and merch out
there too, And of course the new album you can
previeut out across all those digital streaming platforms, and you
can go by it because it's available across all those
(17:08):
digital streaming platforms as of November fifteenth. We're gonna echo
here on the backstage pass from the album Sick of Me.

The album Sick of Me from Taylor Austin die back
here on your KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine.
So echo this one had a great feel to it too,
and another story that was well told by you guys.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Thank you. This one was kind of funny the way
it came about. I was writing with the tall Yallipsits
and Jamie Colozzo, and we're all good friends. So we
were just sitting around. We had no idea what we're
gonna write, and Jamie is our track guy. He had
a bunch of plugins pulled up and different things on
the computer, and there was one titled Echo, and we're like, oh,
(22:08):
that could be a cool song title. And so we
start going from there, like, you know, what could this
be about? And we just kind of built this story
about basically living with the ghost of somebody who's not
there anymore, whether it be a lost loved one or
a loved one that just left you, you know. And
so it was funny how it came about, because it
just literally came from the title Echo.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Which is another great song out there on the new
album Sick of Me, which is the sophomore album from
Taylor Austin Diamiks, you guys are checking it out. We're
gonna be playing the music and have played the music
there on KKTC True Country in Our Morning. Collins was
Shelley there on ninety nine nine True country. I love
duets and duets who are becoming more common these days.
Crossover of genres and the mix of music that's making
the industry more versatile. Out there tonight, I need you.
(22:51):
You did one with Mason Horne I believe was two
thousand and twenty two. Talk about just getting to know
Mason and of course building that relationship out there able
to put this great song out.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yeah, I had never met Mason before, and he was
working a little bit with my manager, and he had
another manager as well, and we're kind of all working together.
And then they were looking for an artist who sing
on this song, and I wasn't even being managed by
Lex yet, and they found me on TikTok and Lex
(23:22):
was like, wait a minute, I know her husband, so
he gave me a call and set the whole thing up.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Now.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Of course, I've been working with Lex for about two years,
and it's kind of funny how those pieces fit together.
But Mason's a great kid, and I think he's putting
out some new stuff recently too, so I'm really excited
for him. He's a great songwriter and I was really
really fortunate to be on that song because I think
it's a hit.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Here's the title of a song I haven't heard in
a while. This has been pretty cool for you single
guys are released here in twenty twenty four. I think
it's really awesome because we all understand what this is about. Pharmacy.
Let's go there, Let's dive into this one and talk
all about this one. I love this title and I
love the way you expressed it man, the energy in
it too.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Yeah, this one's pretty heavy, honestly, you know, being from
eastern Kentucky, once again, I've seen firsthand the opioid epidemic
which has been you know, rampant in the area all
over the country really, but especially in the Appalachian area
and just kind of really taken from that and what
I've seen around and the gist of the song is
(24:20):
you're gonna need the whole pharmacy to get over this person.
And it's just kind of you know, it is a
heavy song, but I think a lot of people really
relate to it when you just hurt so bad and
you start to get physical ailments from a heartbreak and
saying you know, you're just gonna need to take everything
to black it out.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Really, it really sends that message. No doubt, and you
mentioned that struggle we've all had out there to or
know somebody who has out there too. Not me personally,
but definitely you know, if you come from the an
area that's had struggles or just a person that's had struggles.
A lot of meaning to a song, so definitely heavy
in those words, and they really can resonate to heart
and help somebody kind of pull themselves out of a
very tough situation. Here a song like that, all right,
(25:00):
a fun time and to get out of the dance
floor for this one, because I loved it and I
probably warned it out. If there was a vinyl it
would have been broke by me by now. But twenty
twenty one, going back to the nineties country, you mentioned
all those great ladies the top that really influenced you
as an artist growing up. It just kind of feels
like you're always deemed to do this, But twenty twenty one,
water me down. This had to be so much fun
(25:21):
to record it, man, y'all just really made this come
to life and dance hall type music. Get out there
on the dance floor and swing it and go and
enjoy your drink and have fun with this song.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
It's a sassy song man. And I was getting ready
to move downtown and I always keep notebooks that are
just filled with song ideas, and I found this notebook
that i'd forgot about, and I started flipping through it
and I wrote down something about water down whiskey or
ice waters down my whiskey, and I was like, wait
a minute, that could be a cool song. So I
wrote the chorus and then I set on it for
(25:52):
a few months, and then I called up my friend
Kelly Johnson, which also has written a few songs with me,
Timpa devi Will being one of them. And I said, Kelly,
I have this idea and I just need some help
executing it. And she came over to my house and
we wrote the whole song, the rest of it in
forty five minutes. So when I came out, I was like,
everyone needs a good honkey talking song. Let's make it really,
(26:14):
really country. And that's kind of how it came about,
and it's been one of everybody's The writer dies love
that one, and I love singing it.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I'm sure it's a show favorite, do Dad. The energy
you bring to it is a lot of fun and
definitely a saloon or a bar. People get the jest
of that when you're like you said, you start about
let's see, what is it six o'clock. And I've been
to some concerts recently too, and I don't drink anymore,
but people have told me too at the same time,
they're like, yeah, I started about five or six and
we finished about two am to close the place down
or after the concert. So water Me Down is one
(26:43):
of my favorite songs out there too, that Miss Taylor
Austin Dies put out there all right. I love another
great artist who's doing this thing out there too, Sean
Stemley and put out one there too that just really
caught my attention, which I loved it. The two of
us talk about this one. A little backstory.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Yeah, so Sean had came to me. We're close friends,
and he came to me and just said, hey, I
really want you to be on this song. Will you
take a listen to it see if you like it?
And of course I loved it as super western cowboy
type songs with them, and yeah, I immediately fell in
love with it. So I was more than happy to
jump on that. And we had a great time promoting
(27:20):
for it, and you know, we just got an excuse
to hang out and ride four wheelers and shoot guns
and you know, just hang out. So it was it
was fun looking back on that. We went to the
zoo and filmed some of it. We rode the carousel.
I mean, we just had a great time with it.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
The fun of music and stories behind it, no doubt,
early October this was really cool because this had deep
meaning when it came down to hurt my feelings which
you guys had put out there in early October talk
about this one too, and really, like I said, one
of those songs that you get the just up too.
Everybody's been through a bad experience and had their feelings
hurt there too, and they can understand the just of
(27:57):
this one.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Yeah, I mean, the whole idea is that you just
want to get rid of your feelings so much like
you want to, like the song says, wish I could
rip this weight right off my chest, drown this weakness,
catch my breath, put a fish through the wall that
I've been building up inside. You know, you want to
just get rid of all your emotions because for me, personally,
I would do way better if I didn't have any
(28:19):
I feel like. So I think everyone gets to that point,
you know, where you're just so emotional about things you
wish that you didn't even have any feelings at all.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It's a great way to tell a story, no doubt
about it too. All right, let's go back to August
when this one came out to Almost Oklahoma, and I
love this suspend here too, which is there. I live
in Texas, so it's our northern buddies right there, just
north of us.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Too.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
A long way to get there, but hey, you got
to get there somehow, Almost Oklahoma. Beautiful story told.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
It's very sad, and you know it didn't originally start
out as a sad song. I wrote. This is my
friend J B. Patterson and he's a Texas guy. You
might know him from JB and the Meonshine Bandy. He's
one of my favorite people to write with, and he
brought this tide. And the original idea was that this
person that you met in Oklahoma was like the most
fun you've ever had in your life. But you meet
(29:08):
these other people and they're just don't they don't compare.
But so we started writing and that's what it was
originally about. But then I was like, wait a minute,
what if it's I literally said, wait, what if she's dead?
And JV was like, you are sick. But it actually
turned out really beautiful and kind of trying to live
up to you know that this guy's first love that
(29:28):
has unfortunately passed away. And I think it's a really
unique spin on that IDEA.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Great song, no doubt, sad song tells the right story too.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
I love this is when it comes down to it.
But this, I love your cover of this one. I
got to talk about now too. You're on that you
got that I love first of all. I love you
love cowgirl hats person, and you look creating up to
no doubt about it. You sure, those cowgirl outfits and
those cowgirl hats, and you're like picking up the phone
on this one too. I love it. It's got that
kind of that aqua almost that green blue kind of color.
I say blue, but more aqua. They're uh, poison in
(29:59):
the well. And I know fans want to know the
story about this one, including.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Me of course. So like I said, I'm from a
real small town in eastern Kentucky, population one fifty seven
and there is not a lot to do, so a
lot of people go to the diner by the courthouse
every morning and get breakfast. And while they're getting their breakfast,
they also get all the gossip that's going around town.
And so this song is just about the rumor meal
(30:23):
that is the diner in my hometown and how everybody
just weaves the tails, whether they know the truth or not.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
It's the truth too. I remember, you know, I missed
those old diners too, so I have to go back
and wherever in Kentucky there too is is that diner
still there?
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Oh yeah, love them.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
They got great food, great food, no doubt. I used
to have one here called Gary's Coffee Shop back in
the day. And I'm just in my forties now, but
looking back at it, I miss those old diner days
where you go put a quarter in a jukebox and
they're like, yeah, what's a jukebox? All the kids listening
today too, But hey, you know what, it was back
here in night era too. We had some of the
best times getting across those small diners, ordering food, just
catching up on gossip and all the good stuff. And
(31:00):
I still say I'm a part of it. I love
Friday night football, so it was big in Texas and
I'm sure that's big in Kentucky too. At the same time,
when it comes to that football, right, everybody loves UK.
I had too college football. I was gonna ask you
about that too. You find yourself sitting around I guess
the TV on Saturday, you and the hobby kind of
watching UK football.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I couldn't tell you the last time we've been home
on a Saturday, to be honest, or a Sunday. So
we are on the road so much we do not
have time to keep up with much anything.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I got you too, what today? What I know the
Titans are not off to the great start this year too.
They had such a high turnover. I know they miss
Derrick Henry and in the worst way too at the
same time, but it's still cool to go to that
stadium and just watch those games. And I think, as
I kind of pulled that into it, are you guys
Titan fans too as well?
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Like I said, we don't keep up, but we do.
We support them one hundred percent. I couldn't tell you
any players or if they've won or lost the game,
but yeah, we support them.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
All right when not doing music. And I guess you
guys do have some downtime. What are some other fun
kind of hobbies you get into.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
We love to go well, we love to go out
and hear our buddies play music. I guess that's still music.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
We go.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Riding. We have a razor down at the farm and
we love to take it out there and just get
on the trails and hang out around the campfire. We
try to spend as much time outside as we can,
and we like to kayak. And I know, unfortunately it's
getting cold outside now, so hopefully we'll find some winter
activities we can do.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I wish you're in Texas. I could say it's getting
cold outside. It's been hot down here too, just humid,
and I'm ready for It's like here we are November
in Texas, down here by Houston where I'm at, and
I'm like, man, we need of the cold. Front's going
to come in, not just come in, but stick around
for a while. So you're saying Nashville's getting cold, that's already,
send police for me.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
It was like sixty five today.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Send some of that our way, all right. Had Taylor
Austin die had never been a musician, whatever the career
path would you have chosen.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
I would. I think I would still being music. I
was a radio DJ for about a year and a
half in Central Kentucky and I love being on the radio,
so I would love to do that. Or makeup. I
think I would be all right makeup artists.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
All right. Favorite food and favorite ice cream.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Mexican food, hands down. Give me a Chimmy chonggun a
Mountain dew and I'm ready to go. Favorite ice cream
dark chocolate raspberry from Magnum. You can get a croper.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
I like that, all right. Here's one I had to
pulled out in a while. Maybe one of the weirdest
things that's happened at a concert, your show's, or any
show you've seen that either somebody was out of line,
or somebody just had too a little bit too much fun,
or somebody just knew every word to every song. What's
kind of one, I guess if there is a weird
thing that's happened or a show.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
You've been to, I mean, how much time do you
got I can talk about my stalkers? No, I think
one of the most the funniest thing was we were
at Walkin's Glenn Speedway playing a NASCAR event and someone
passed up a mannequin from the crowd and her name
was no Nees Denise because it was only from the
waist up and I shot gun to beer out of her,
(34:07):
out of her parts.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
I love that. We had plenty of times that was.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Very fun, and I think that was one of my
favorite times.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I love it. Tu you the first one to come
on the show and say they've shot good to beer
and say those lines in quite quite some time too.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
I don't think a lot of people have said those
words in sequence like that, so it's fun.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
I love it those stories that come out authentic, just
as the music is too out there and sick of me.
