Speaker 2 (01:15):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'm great? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's been a Monday so far, but you know what
we got the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh good, just Monday, no no doubt about it too,
and of course getting busy here with all the summer concerts.
The album releases will tell us about this. It's a
brand new project, Scott too. Why to mention there at
the top for you brand new album. Exciting times. We're
gonna play a couple of a couple of cuts off
of this today, but this has a big scting for
your camp and releasing new music on June sixth.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It really is. It's been a long time actually since
I've released an album, so, you know, because life am
I right? So it just it feels good to have
forward momentum finally, especially you know after you know, I
don't really I think you understand the pandemic and all
that stuff, but just life. So I'm super excited and
(02:07):
I think it's could be my best album yet.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Teaser right there.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You guys can pre order now, get some cuts out
there too. We're gonna play a couple off of there,
at least one off there today and of course the
big hit. We'll get to that later on, no doubt
about it. Hey, from what you know when you started
and looking back at this thing, different genres, the crossovers now,
it's changed so much, the streaming and I mean I
used to be one who back in the day before
I did this thing called the Median Radio, I would
go to the show, purchase CD or a vinyl record,
(02:35):
things like that. Talk about just the changes that you've seen,
good or bad for the industry when you started to
where it is now.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Wow, it's so different. Yeah, because I've been doing it
for like over thirty years now. And you know, in
on one hand, it's really great because I'm completely independent.
I don't have a company breathing down my neck to
write the next hit or to you know, they're not
telling me what to wear or how to be. So
(03:02):
that's beautiful and wonderful and so it really gives more
room for the artistic process and I'm so proud of
that because I can, I can really explore all sides
of me, which I think in this album I have.
And then you know, the negatives are just like you know,
audiences are smaller, people are streaming, and also music are
(03:25):
like their sound bites, and it's really hard to find,
you know, people who really sit down. I'm still old school.
I would hope that people sit down and put on
my album, put the needle on the thing, and then
sit down have a glass of wine. I don't know
if that happens anymore. I'm sure there are people out
there that do it, but it's harder to find them.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's tough.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's tough.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And like I said, different times and different structure for
different folks. I still, like I said, I love purchasing
that vinyl record or going out to a show getting
that CD. Love seeing all the live shows for you too.
Talk about any tours built around this album, so, like
I said, getting on some major act tours, supporting act tours,
talking about that because I know that's going to be
part of the two.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, so right now, We've got, you know, a couple
of release shows locked in and some are just about
to be announced. We've got New York and Boston, and
then we've got some West Coast dates in August, and
then in this fall probably be some more Midwest and
maybe Europe. So it's all coming together. Yeah, and it's
(04:32):
it's mostly going to be like either headlining or co
bil with some artists. But I'm not going to divulge.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We look with the scoop period, sometimes you got to
divulge when the time is right there too. I loved
one off the record too that I got to hear,
whether You Fall, which is sky Wide version out there too,
which is the title of the album, the Scotto Wide
Record coming out June and six from Tracy Bom. Tell
us all about this one too, because it's had a
really feel good moment in a story, lyrically, spiritually everything.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Nice, Oh that's great, thank you, I love it. That's
kind of This song, whether You Fall, has been with
me for a long time and it is kind of
an anthem. And it started out actually it was released
before on my two thousand and five album Blink the Brightest,
and it was just a cute little piano and vocal
only track, and I just felt like it needed a
(05:27):
redo or a revamp, and it needed to grow and
become mature, and I really wanted to have string players
and I wanted to have my amazing trio on the track.
So I fleshed it out, I arranged the strings for it,
and we went into the studio and it's just become
like for me, it's epic, especially the end where it
just turns into this gorgeous, like symphonic, chaotic thing. I
(05:53):
love the song and the lyrics. Really I respond to
it because I think with anyone you know, in life,
you take hits, and it's not about like whether you're
going to fall, It's about how you respond to it.
It's whether you get up.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It really is no doubt and that's well said to it,
and it's well said in the song. At the same time,
talk about the connection to music growing up too. When
you look at all the great artists still doing their
thing today, some of the great ones they just keep
moving on no matter what genre it is. Who kind
of influenced you to give me this whole genre? And
you know, looking back, music you would play at a
young age before you really started doing this as a career,
(06:31):
right right when.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was young, you know, and I was already in
lessons because my mom was just so great at just
putting a violin in my hand or you know, getting
me into piano lessons. So I was doing classical. However,
my tastes were all over the place, and I loved
you know, I listened to the Blondie and the Police
and the Specials and the Sex Pistols and then Stevie Wonder,
and then I listened to a lot of jazz. My
(06:54):
mom was into like Sergium Mendez and a lot of
jobim So and the Beatles. So I can't believe I
didn't say them first, but the Beatles was like, hands down,
like that's what I grew up with. And then as
I grew a little bit, like I was putting violin
was the thing that got me into college and I
(07:15):
got the full scholarship and all that stuff. However, I
was like, ah, I like jazz. I want to be
a jazz singer, and so, you know, I just I've
been trying things my entire life, and I think the
reason why I love this album so much is it
kind of borrows from all of those influences that I
had from a very early childhood to now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, there's been a lot of these musical contests.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I've been watching a lot of the Voice and of
course a little bit of American Idol, and I love
seeing all the young talent come through as far as
new artists out there, they go, they step on a
platform like this, they get taught so much, they're coached,
well at least getting some feedback because this business, as
you know, because HU spit you out pretty quick when
it comes down to it. Because there are those people
that are out for the art in this industry, and
(08:01):
then there's some people, Like I said, I almost speak
too much on it, But looking back at it, I've
heard some of those horror stories out there that some
people have told me. What advice would you give? You know,
some of those artists that really have stepped on a
platform such as as you know, Magnifying. Is that really
getting off a show like that knowing the real work
begins when you step off that show?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh exactly, because I think that show is wonderful. It
does catapult and launch people's careers for sure. Yet it's
like you start with this incredible high and then you
might think, you know, that's going to happen all the time.
And when I was young, I did too, I would
you know. I remember sitting in the back of a
(08:39):
limo one time just thinking, Wow, I finally made it.
I'm gonna make albums for the rest of my life,
my career. I mean, I'm just going to be like
making albums till I'm eighty, you know. And you have
to kind of like, yeah, maybe it's good to have
people around you just like this is great and I'm
so proud of you that you did this, But also
(09:00):
the real work starts now. Fickle business fans, just do
it because you love it and no other reason. Do
it because you love it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well said there too.

at the Caadengordonshow dot Com. Today's Best Country Mixed back
Here which Racy Bottom on the show. So just a
fun song jumping band. This is one of your favorites
out there off the Scotch Wide record which comes out
June six. Talk to us all about this one. I
love the writing lyrically, everything about it.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Thank you. Yeah, I love it too because it lets
me you know again explores a genre that I've always loved,
but I've never really gone there. It's kind of bluesy,
It's got the rock thing for sure, and my trio
like is so amazing. When we get to that chorus,
(15:33):
it's just so like it makes my body just want
to go like, Yes, I just love it. The lyrics are,
you know, from a perspective of not wanting to conform,
not wanting and also now in my life realizing that
I've probably tried to be too many things for too
many people and not for myself, so you know, and
(15:59):
it also can be applied to so many people who
just feel as though they're being limited or diminished. So
it's my empowerment song.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I love it so much, really much, an empowerment type song.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Another one off there too that caught my eye looking
back at it was Safe with Me, which was the
last cut on the record.
Speaker 14 (16:18):
Too.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Got the chance to preview a lot of these great
songs here again. You guys can pre order now and
get these wherever you downloader stream music too.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Tell us all about that one, well, that one that
was a late addition, and I'm really happy I put
it on there. I had been in a conversation with
someone drake close to me who has a child whose
non binary you know, LGBTQ plus community or identifying, and
(16:46):
we were talking about the free mom Hugs movement. I
don't know if you're aware of it, but it's just
so beautiful. The mom's standing on the sidelines of these
pride parades and they'll hold up a sign or where
t shirt says free hugs. And when I watched some
video footage of the just the moments where young people
(17:09):
would go and get a free hug and then they
would burst into tears. They haven't been hugged by their
parents for five years, they haven't even spoken to the parent,
whatever it was, it just hit me so hard, And
in light of a lot of conversations leading up to
this latest election, I felt as though I could write
a song that had that same kind of theme, where
(17:34):
there are people in the world that accept them. I know,
you know, it's a tough time right now, and in general,
I suppose it's always tough to feel, you know, unsafe
or marginalized. So I wanted a song that kind of
embodied the way I felt about you know, how you
(17:54):
know whether or not you agree with somebody in the
way they live their life or how they identify or whatever,
whatever your opinions are. It's like, just let them be.
And there are people, I believe there are people out there,
good people who who feel the same way. They're not
trying to change or you know, demand anything, just you know,
(18:17):
so it's for me. It's kind of an important song, honestly.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I love the message of that one too.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Agains Tracy Bottom here on the backstage, passing and powered
by the Sports Guys podcast dot com. You know, I'll
take you back to the twenty seventeen Modern Burdens record too,
which was a huge, huge success, no doubt. Of course,
we'll play that Begs song here in a little bit
called Mother Mother such some really cool cuts. Bulldog was
one of my favorite ones off of there too. At
the same time, love just the meaning behind that. Also
(18:46):
some good collaborations on there. Give us some best memories
of Modern Burdens for you.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That was cool it. The idea was to invite a
bunch of really amazing artists, female artists who I've admired
and also like present day artists who I was just
getting to know and come and guessed on the album
almost as if it was like a tribute album to
Tracy Bonham. But she's still alive, so I got my tribute.
(19:13):
And the best part about it was reaching out to
these amazing artists and the response I got from them,
really it really affirmed, like what I do in life.
They were like burdens of being upright, was you know,
monumental for me, or it made me want to write
songs or it changed my life And to hear that, like,
it's kind of important, you know, to hear those things
(19:36):
when you're still living. And I feel so grateful for
that when you look back.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
At those collaborations. Let's kind of build on that a
little bit since it's becoming more of the Norman. We're
seeing crossovers now in the industry as a country music
show that I do here too. It's just so many
things are coming together. In fact that I was just
looking at one the other day, Gary Lavaux, the Rascal
Flats with ACoM. They put out this brand new song
called Hold the Umbrella. In this they're kind of reggaetone
artists named Gil and Ghetto who's out there. All three
(20:04):
of them came together for this. It's like fate now
talk about just collaborations becoming the norm and kind of
the I love this crossover of different genres.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Do you Yeah, I really do. And you know it's
just brought to mind like Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart
like it's it's so fun. It's like why not? And
you might think that doesn't make any sense and then it,
you know, it busts down those barriers. That's what I
love about it the most is that it's blurring the lines.
It's all art or showbiz or whatever, comedy.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And why not, it's they call entertainment. Yes, I love it.
Why not go for it?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Like I said, take those chances. And again, if you
haven't heard that song, Hold the Umbrella and came out
last Friday, May sixteenth with We'll have those guys on
the show. Gary Lavaux of Rascal Flats a Coon coming
up here in just a few weeks at CMA Fest
to talk about that very song.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Right there could be the summer anthem for a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
There time for the beg at for Tracy Bottom here
see backstage pass.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
It's called Mother Mother.
Speaker 3 (21:02):

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Guys, you know what a summertime the beach is called?
And I was just there this weekend. I'm going back
in two weeks after seeing Mayfest down there by Galveston, Texas,
and I had a problem with my rig this past week.
You knew I called all about RV's RV's and Butter Holmes.
He will come to you in one of the top
mobile mechanics out there, Larry Vedrine three three seven eight
five three zero six three eight three three seven eight
(25:20):
five three zero six three eight And yeah, I broke down.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
He came and fixed it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I was back at the RV parking no time, and
of course taking the family back to the beach. So
all about RV's great guy in Lake Charles, Louisiana. And
not many guys come to you anymore to repair anything
on site. It's almost like a safe light glass repair sometimes.
Back here with Tracy Bottom again the backstage pass again.
So look, I'm an dive into this one. You've probably
been asked every question in the books from this great
(25:45):
song you had back in the nineties, and of course
put on that twenty seventeen album for modern burdens out there,
Mother Mother Tracy. What a tune and just so infectious
to people, and it meant so much to everybody out there.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That's so cool here even now after all this time,
and I never get tired of hearing it. I love
how it moved people and young people especially or even
like you know, people who had gone through when they're young.
It's just a universal theme of when you get out
of the house and life is just like everything and
(26:21):
you don't want your mom to worry about you, and
that's really it. So many people ask me back in
the day, why do you hate your mom? Why are
you angry? And it's really not. I don't think they
got the joke.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You know, you've done some really cool and I've got
to see the music video when you guys put that
out back in the day too. All the music videos
I make the song or it really makes the song
come to life. And of course the crew you hire
to put together these music videos, from shooting to destinations
to ideas. Give me your favorite, I guess top two
or three. It's hard to choose one. Music videos out
there in the process of seeing those come.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Alive, oh out there as in mine?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah videos? Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Okay, Well, you know, I have a lot to say
about it because my literally my first big successful music
video was Mother Mother and it was in nineteen ninety
six or I think we probably filmed it just before that.
It featured my mother, my real mom, my stepdad, my band,
(27:22):
and the fact that it was shot in one take
you know back in the day, you know, the steady
cam guy had like a big boom thing sticking out
of his chest and he was, you know, like he
had to maneuver around the choreography. Basically, my parents flew
(27:43):
up to Long Island City to be in it. They're
from Eugene, Oregon, right, and the whole thing was just
magical and my unfortunately, my record label whenever things started
to turn digital, that video, so I don't know what happened,
but it kind of got lost in the mix, and
(28:04):
then this other video surfaced, which is fine, but I
really wish that all of the hits, you know, would
have been on the original video because it's just classic.
It's such a great, great video.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
When you look back at the some of the fans
may not see the challenges that go on in this industry.
We talked a little bit about, you know, the ups
and downs, a lot about that at the beginning too,
But looking back at it, you mentioned you used to
wear a number of hats and you know, like you said,
making music and you're on top of the highs and
loads of this thing. But talk about some of the
things fans may not see of the challenges through this
(28:38):
whole thing called the music industry.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Oh wow wow.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, I think it's easy for fans or people
to get caught up in the celebrity and think that like, wow,
they've made it and their life is completely sortied now,
or you know that they're you know, even just monetarily
like that it's somehow you have a hit album and
(29:04):
that you're like worth a bajillion dollars. It's just not
the case, and especially nowadays. But you know, we're all
it's just real life happens too. You know, like I
got to go get milk and then I might be
like performing at some big stadium like it, or you know,
that's back in the day. But you know it's I
(29:25):
think people get really sucked into celebrity in in uh,
probably an unhealthy way. I mean maybe that's where the
word fanatic comes from. But you know, I think that
the real artists they kind of shine through because you
can see that it's not just about celebrity, it's about
the music. And I think I think it becomes very apparent.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
If there's went back to the collaboration question, if there's
one that you haven't done yet that you're saying to yourself.
I might want to do this with this particular artist. Okay,
not done yet.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh yeah, there's a lot that I haven't done yet.
One is completely preposterous, like there's no way, but I'm
gonna say it in the universe. We're gonna man says
right now, Stevie wonder if you're listening, I am ready
to collaborate. We're gonna make something beautiful. I mean that
he's been my my idol uh as far as I
(30:26):
can remember. And then there's you know, there's content more
contemporary people that I would love to I love collaborating
with almost any type of music genre and stuff like that.
So maybe these days, you know, there's I really like
this singer songwriter who kind of made it big a
(30:49):
few several years ago. Actually her name is Regina Specter,
and she plays piano and she's kind of classically trained
to and she writes coirky lyrics. So I've I've been
following her and I really like her too.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Super talented Regina Spector. Love her stuff out there too.
All right, let's have a little fun here on the shows.
We get ready to close too, and love to have
you back on to these future projects and all this
great music comes out against gott to why June six
out there from the great Tracy Bottom out there too,
be on the lookout pre order now get those select
few songs on there too, and then of course midnight
on that Thursday night, guess what you get the full
(31:21):
like the album out there wherever you guys download or
stream your music. So I'm back in Nashville here in
a couple of weeks, and I'm looking at all these
great restaurants. Man, somebody artists to come on, try this,
try this, do this, do this, And I'm like, there's
so much good food out there. It seems like every
corner something is opening there. What is your favorite food
would you like to dine in at when you're either
on the road or hole in the wall spots?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Do you ask the locals?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh yeah, I love it, Like if there's time to
go out and like ask the locals, right, you know,
there's like you always try to make that happen, but
if you're just passing through, it's really hard. So I
love I really love typhood, and I love Indian food.
Those are like my comfort foods, my go tos. But
I also really love a good taco like. I love tacos.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Well, I can tell you which one I'm trying to
tacos wise, it's gonna be Bar Taco in Nashville. I've
never been there, but they say I love pretty good.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, I'm there.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Very creative with their tacos.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I love the fusion tacos too, right, that collaboration of
like Asian tacos. Or I was had Lebanese tacos the
other day, so good.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Indian food tie food such a comfort dish, and that
actually sounds good for tonight. I'm thinking about what to
eat for dinner. I'm like, you can never go wrong
with Indian food food. Now, have you ever been down
to my neck of the woods here in Texas or Louisiana?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I sure have, it's been.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Do you dig out?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I do love crawfish?
Speaker 7 (32:47):
I do.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I did.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
We call cray fish fish, and I'd say a favorite
part of crawfish the spicy medium exhaust.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
What do you like is it?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Is it at two? Is that like? That's a Louisiana Yeah, right,
I like the spicy. I'll go spicy.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
That's always a good thing. I got some at the
beach of the day. We got about five pounds and
shared it down there at the beach. It was kind
of that medium flavor, which was good. You had a
little pick sauce and maybe a little butter to it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It was pretty good. Eat those tales. I'm with you
on that two thing. I can't go wrong with.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh I miss it. I haven't even said that word
for so long. I miss being down there.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
It's good stuff right there too. I tell you what.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
We'll finished up with this one too. If you were
never a working musician, what are the career paths would
have been there for Tracy Bomber.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I would have probably just been the worst waitress of
all time. It was the worst waitress. That's my That's
where I was going. Thank God for music. If I wasn't, seriously,
I am terrible at everything else. I'm a real like
right brain person and just creative all the time. So
to a fault. Maybe so I would be like I
(33:55):
couldn't sit down at a desk. It would have to
be something like where I didn't have to do any math.
Maybe like a cleaning lady. I'm pretty good at cleaning.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I'm with you, No math better job, no doubt about it.
But hey, the musician thing kind of worked out. I did,
okay for she's the Hey I gotta ask you about this?
I mentioned that was the last one. I gotta throw
it in there. Are you sports fan at all teams?
Pro college? Who are you root for?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I wish I was that person to be like, oh yeah, Denver,
But I'm I'm just not. I do love I love
basketball and I played. I played basketball until all the
girls got really tall, So I get the game like
I can watch it, and I'd much rather be sitting
at a basketball game than like a football game. And
I do know that the Brooklyn Liberty is some a
(34:47):
team that I should check out because I know there's
a famous I can't remember her name even, but I've
been told that I need to go to a game
and see that amazing player. So the future of me
is like, yeah, I like the Brooklyn Liberty.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
They got some good roster of the w NBA just
kicking off there too, with the NBA now at the
Western Conference and Eastern Conference Uh finals out there too,
And it's good to see new blood out there too
for the NBA out there now too with all these
new teams and you know what, Hey, the New York
Knicks resurrect yourself back in the Eastern Conference files there too,
and I know for hey, for Steven A. Smith and
(35:23):
for a for for Spike Lee, they're all next research now.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
The game.

And it's kind of cool, Saint Patrick Ewing in the
in the audience of other day when the Knicks, you know,
als in defending champs of Boston Celtics. So congratulations to
the New York Knicks and of course the Liberty doing
everything out there too. Believe her name is Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'm great? How you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's been a Monday so far, but you know what
we got the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh good, just Monday, no no doubt about it too,
and of course getting busy here with all the summer concerts.
The album releases will tell us about this. It's a
brand new project, Scott too. Why to mention there at
the top for you brand new album. Exciting times. We're
gonna play a couple of a couple of cuts off
of this today, but this has a big scting for
your camp and releasing new music on June sixth.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It really is. It's been a long time actually since
I've released an album, so, you know, because life am
I right? So it just it feels good to have
forward momentum finally, especially you know after you know, I
don't really I think you understand the pandemic and all
that stuff, but just life. So I'm super excited and
(02:07):
I think it's could be my best album yet.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Teaser right there.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You guys can pre order now, get some cuts out
there too. We're gonna play a couple off of there,
at least one off there today and of course the
big hit. We'll get to that later on, no doubt
about it. Hey, from what you know when you started
and looking back at this thing, different genres, the crossovers now,
it's changed so much, the streaming and I mean I
used to be one who back in the day before
I did this thing called the Median Radio, I would
go to the show, purchase CD or a vinyl record,
(02:35):
things like that. Talk about just the changes that you've seen,
good or bad for the industry when you started to
where it is now.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Wow, it's so different. Yeah, because I've been doing it
for like over thirty years now. And you know, in
on one hand, it's really great because I'm completely independent.
I don't have a company breathing down my neck to
write the next hit or to you know, they're not
telling me what to wear or how to be. So
(03:02):
that's beautiful and wonderful and so it really gives more
room for the artistic process and I'm so proud of
that because I can, I can really explore all sides
of me, which I think in this album I have.
And then you know, the negatives are just like you know,
audiences are smaller, people are streaming, and also music are
(03:25):
like their sound bites, and it's really hard to find,
you know, people who really sit down. I'm still old school.
I would hope that people sit down and put on
my album, put the needle on the thing, and then
sit down have a glass of wine. I don't know
if that happens anymore. I'm sure there are people out
there that do it, but it's harder to find them.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
It's tough.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's tough.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
And like I said, different times and different structure for
different folks. I still, like I said, I love purchasing
that vinyl record or going out to a show getting
that CD. Love seeing all the live shows for you too.
Talk about any tours built around this album, so, like
I said, getting on some major act tours, supporting act tours,
talking about that because I know that's going to be
part of the two.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, so right now, We've got, you know, a couple
of release shows locked in and some are just about
to be announced. We've got New York and Boston, and
then we've got some West Coast dates in August, and
then in this fall probably be some more Midwest and
maybe Europe. So it's all coming together. Yeah, and it's
(04:32):
it's mostly going to be like either headlining or co
bil with some artists. But I'm not going to divulge.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We look with the scoop period, sometimes you got to
divulge when the time is right there too. I loved
one off the record too that I got to hear,
whether You Fall, which is sky Wide version out there too,
which is the title of the album, the Scotto Wide
Record coming out June and six from Tracy Bom. Tell
us all about this one too, because it's had a
really feel good moment in a story, lyrically, spiritually everything.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Nice, Oh that's great, thank you, I love it. That's
kind of This song, whether You Fall, has been with
me for a long time and it is kind of
an anthem. And it started out actually it was released
before on my two thousand and five album Blink the Brightest,
and it was just a cute little piano and vocal
only track, and I just felt like it needed a
(05:27):
redo or a revamp, and it needed to grow and
become mature, and I really wanted to have string players
and I wanted to have my amazing trio on the track.
So I fleshed it out, I arranged the strings for it,
and we went into the studio and it's just become
like for me, it's epic, especially the end where it
just turns into this gorgeous, like symphonic, chaotic thing. I
(05:53):
love the song and the lyrics. Really I respond to
it because I think with anyone you know, in life,
you take hits, and it's not about like whether you're
going to fall, It's about how you respond to it.
It's whether you get up.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It really is no doubt and that's well said to it,
and it's well said in the song. At the same time,
talk about the connection to music growing up too. When
you look at all the great artists still doing their
thing today, some of the great ones they just keep
moving on no matter what genre it is. Who kind
of influenced you to give me this whole genre? And
you know, looking back, music you would play at a
young age before you really started doing this as a career,
(06:31):
right right when.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was young, you know, and I was already in
lessons because my mom was just so great at just
putting a violin in my hand or you know, getting
me into piano lessons. So I was doing classical. However,
my tastes were all over the place, and I loved
you know, I listened to the Blondie and the Police
and the Specials and the Sex Pistols and then Stevie Wonder,
and then I listened to a lot of jazz. My
(06:54):
mom was into like Sergium Mendez and a lot of
jobim So and the Beatles. So I can't believe I
didn't say them first, but the Beatles was like, hands down,
like that's what I grew up with. And then as
I grew a little bit, like I was putting violin
was the thing that got me into college and I
(07:15):
got the full scholarship and all that stuff. However, I
was like, ah, I like jazz. I want to be
a jazz singer, and so, you know, I just I've
been trying things my entire life, and I think the
reason why I love this album so much is it
kind of borrows from all of those influences that I
had from a very early childhood to now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, there's been a lot of these musical contests.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I've been watching a lot of the Voice and of
course a little bit of American Idol, and I love
seeing all the young talent come through as far as
new artists out there, they go, they step on a
platform like this, they get taught so much, they're coached,
well at least getting some feedback because this business, as
you know, because HU spit you out pretty quick when
it comes down to it. Because there are those people
that are out for the art in this industry, and
(08:01):
then there's some people, Like I said, I almost speak
too much on it, But looking back at it, I've
heard some of those horror stories out there that some
people have told me. What advice would you give? You know,
some of those artists that really have stepped on a
platform such as as you know, Magnifying. Is that really
getting off a show like that knowing the real work
begins when you step off that show?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Oh exactly, because I think that show is wonderful. It
does catapult and launch people's careers for sure. Yet it's
like you start with this incredible high and then you
might think, you know, that's going to happen all the time.
And when I was young, I did too, I would
you know. I remember sitting in the back of a
(08:39):
limo one time just thinking, Wow, I finally made it.
I'm gonna make albums for the rest of my life,
my career. I mean, I'm just going to be like
making albums till I'm eighty, you know. And you have
to kind of like, yeah, maybe it's good to have
people around you just like this is great and I'm
so proud of you that you did this, But also
(09:00):
the real work starts now. Fickle business fans, just do
it because you love it and no other reason. Do
it because you love it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Well said there too.

love the writing lyrically, everything about it.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Thank you. Yeah, I love it too because it lets
me you know again explores a genre that I've always loved,
but I've never really gone there. It's kind of bluesy,
It's got the rock thing for sure, and my trio
like is so amazing. When we get to that chorus,
(15:33):
it's just so like it makes my body just want
to go like, Yes, I just love it. The lyrics are,
you know, from a perspective of not wanting to conform,
not wanting and also now in my life realizing that
I've probably tried to be too many things for too
many people and not for myself, so you know, and
(15:59):
it also can be applied to so many people who
just feel as though they're being limited or diminished. So
it's my empowerment song.

get these wherever you downloader stream music too.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Tell us all about that one, well, that one that
was a late addition, and I'm really happy I put
it on there. I had been in a conversation with
someone drake close to me who has a child whose
non binary you know, LGBTQ plus community or identifying, and
(16:46):
we were talking about the free mom Hugs movement. I
don't know if you're aware of it, but it's just
so beautiful. The mom's standing on the sidelines of these
pride parades and they'll hold up a sign or where
t shirt says free hugs. And when I watched some
video footage of the just the moments where young people
(17:09):
would go and get a free hug and then they
would burst into tears. They haven't been hugged by their
parents for five years, they haven't even spoken to the parent,
whatever it was, it just hit me so hard, And
in light of a lot of conversations leading up to
this latest election, I felt as though I could write
a song that had that same kind of theme, where
(17:34):
there are people in the world that accept them. I know,
you know, it's a tough time right now, and in general,
I suppose it's always tough to feel, you know, unsafe
or marginalized. So I wanted a song that kind of
embodied the way I felt about you know, how you
(17:54):
know whether or not you agree with somebody in the
way they live their life or how they identify or whatever,
whatever your opinions are. It's like, just let them be.
And there are people, I believe there are people out there,
good people who who feel the same way. They're not
trying to change or you know, demand anything, just you know,
(18:17):
so it's for me. It's kind of an important song, honestly.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I love the message of that one too.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Agains Tracy Bottom here on the backstage, passing and powered
by the Sports Guys podcast dot com. You know, I'll
take you back to the twenty seventeen Modern Burdens record too,
which was a huge, huge success, no doubt. Of course,
we'll play that Begs song here in a little bit
called Mother Mother such some really cool cuts. Bulldog was
one of my favorite ones off of there too. At
the same time, love just the meaning behind that. Also
(18:46):
some good collaborations on there. Give us some best memories
of Modern Burdens for you.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That was cool it. The idea was to invite a
bunch of really amazing artists, female artists who I've admired
and also like present day artists who I was just
getting to know and come and guessed on the album
almost as if it was like a tribute album to
Tracy Bonham. But she's still alive, so I got my tribute.
(19:13):
And the best part about it was reaching out to
these amazing artists and the response I got from them,
really it really affirmed, like what I do in life.
They were like burdens of being upright, was you know,
monumental for me, or it made me want to write
songs or it changed my life And to hear that, like,
it's kind of important, you know, to hear those things
(19:36):
when you're still living. And I feel so grateful for
that when you look back.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
At those collaborations. Let's kind of build on that a
little bit since it's becoming more of the Norman. We're
seeing crossovers now in the industry as a country music
show that I do here too. It's just so many
things are coming together. In fact that I was just
looking at one the other day, Gary Lavaux, the Rascal
Flats with ACoM. They put out this brand new song
called Hold the Umbrella. In this they're kind of reggaetone
artists named Gil and Ghetto who's out there. All three
(20:04):
of them came together for this. It's like fate now
talk about just collaborations becoming the norm and kind of
the I love this crossover of different genres.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Do you Yeah, I really do. And you know it's
just brought to mind like Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart
like it's it's so fun. It's like why not? And
you might think that doesn't make any sense and then it,
you know, it busts down those barriers. That's what I
love about it the most is that it's blurring the lines.
It's all art or showbiz or whatever, comedy.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And why not, it's they call entertainment. Yes, I love it.
Why not go for it?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Like I said, take those chances. And again, if you
haven't heard that song, Hold the Umbrella and came out
last Friday, May sixteenth with We'll have those guys on
the show. Gary Lavaux of Rascal Flats a Coon coming
up here in just a few weeks at CMA Fest
to talk about that very song.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Right there could be the summer anthem for a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (20:57):

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Guys, you know what a summertime the beach is called?
And I was just there this weekend. I'm going back
in two weeks after seeing Mayfest down there by Galveston, Texas,
and I had a problem with my rig this past week.
You knew I called all about RV's RV's and Butter Holmes.
He will come to you in one of the top
mobile mechanics out there, Larry Vedrine three three seven eight
five three zero six three eight three three seven eight
(25:20):
five three zero six three eight And yeah, I broke down.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
He came and fixed it.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I was back at the RV parking no time, and
of course taking the family back to the beach. So
all about RV's great guy in Lake Charles, Louisiana. And
not many guys come to you anymore to repair anything
on site. It's almost like a safe light glass repair sometimes.
Back here with Tracy Bottom again the backstage pass again.
So look, I'm an dive into this one. You've probably
been asked every question in the books from this great
(25:45):
song you had back in the nineties, and of course
put on that twenty seventeen album for modern burdens out there,
Mother Mother Tracy. What a tune and just so infectious
to people, and it meant so much to everybody out there.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
That's so cool here even now after all this time,
and I never get tired of hearing it. I love
how it moved people and young people especially or even
like you know, people who had gone through when they're young.
It's just a universal theme of when you get out
of the house and life is just like everything and
(26:21):
you don't want your mom to worry about you, and
that's really it. So many people ask me back in
the day, why do you hate your mom? Why are
you angry? And it's really not. I don't think they
got the joke.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
You know, you've done some really cool and I've got
to see the music video when you guys put that
out back in the day too. All the music videos
I make the song or it really makes the song
come to life. And of course the crew you hire
to put together these music videos, from shooting to destinations
to ideas. Give me your favorite, I guess top two
or three. It's hard to choose one. Music videos out
there in the process of seeing those come.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Alive, oh out there as in mine?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah videos? Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Okay, Well, you know, I have a lot to say
about it because my literally my first big successful music
video was Mother Mother and it was in nineteen ninety
six or I think we probably filmed it just before that.
It featured my mother, my real mom, my stepdad, my band,
(27:22):
and the fact that it was shot in one take
you know back in the day, you know, the steady
cam guy had like a big boom thing sticking out
of his chest and he was, you know, like he
had to maneuver around the choreography. Basically, my parents flew
(27:43):
up to Long Island City to be in it. They're
from Eugene, Oregon, right, and the whole thing was just
magical and my unfortunately, my record label whenever things started
to turn digital, that video, so I don't know what happened,
but it kind of got lost in the mix, and
(28:04):
then this other video surfaced, which is fine, but I
really wish that all of the hits, you know, would
have been on the original video because it's just classic.
It's such a great, great video.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
When you look back at the some of the fans
may not see the challenges that go on in this industry.
We talked a little bit about, you know, the ups
and downs, a lot about that at the beginning too,
But looking back at it, you mentioned you used to
wear a number of hats and you know, like you said,
making music and you're on top of the highs and
loads of this thing. But talk about some of the
things fans may not see of the challenges through this
(28:38):
whole thing called the music industry.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Oh wow wow.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I mean, I think it's easy for fans or people
to get caught up in the celebrity and think that like, wow,
they've made it and their life is completely sortied now,
or you know that they're you know, even just monetarily
like that it's somehow you have a hit album and
(29:04):
that you're like worth a bajillion dollars. It's just not
the case, and especially nowadays. But you know, we're all
it's just real life happens too. You know, like I
got to go get milk and then I might be
like performing at some big stadium like it, or you know,
that's back in the day. But you know it's I
(29:25):
think people get really sucked into celebrity in in uh,
probably an unhealthy way. I mean maybe that's where the
word fanatic comes from. But you know, I think that
the real artists they kind of shine through because you
can see that it's not just about celebrity, it's about
the music. And I think I think it becomes very apparent.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
If there's went back to the collaboration question, if there's
one that you haven't done yet that you're saying to yourself.
I might want to do this with this particular artist. Okay,
not done yet.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh yeah, there's a lot that I haven't done yet.
One is completely preposterous, like there's no way, but I'm
gonna say it in the universe. We're gonna man says
right now, Stevie wonder if you're listening, I am ready
to collaborate. We're gonna make something beautiful. I mean that
he's been my my idol uh as far as I
(30:26):
can remember. And then there's you know, there's content more
contemporary people that I would love to I love collaborating
with almost any type of music genre and stuff like that.
So maybe these days, you know, there's I really like
this singer songwriter who kind of made it big a
(30:49):
few several years ago. Actually her name is Regina Specter,
and she plays piano and she's kind of classically trained
to and she writes coirky lyrics. So I've I've been
following her and I really like her too.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Super talented Regina Spector. Love her stuff out there too.
All right, let's have a little fun here on the shows.
We get ready to close too, and love to have
you back on to these future projects and all this
great music comes out against gott to why June six
out there from the great Tracy Bottom out there too,
be on the lookout pre order now get those select
few songs on there too, and then of course midnight
on that Thursday night, guess what you get the full
(31:21):
like the album out there wherever you guys download or
stream your music. So I'm back in Nashville here in
a couple of weeks, and I'm looking at all these
great restaurants. Man, somebody artists to come on, try this,
try this, do this, do this, And I'm like, there's
so much good food out there. It seems like every
corner something is opening there. What is your favorite food
would you like to dine in at when you're either
on the road or hole in the wall spots?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Do you ask the locals?
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Oh yeah, I love it, Like if there's time to
go out and like ask the locals, right, you know,
there's like you always try to make that happen, but
if you're just passing through, it's really hard. So I
love I really love typhood, and I love Indian food.
Those are like my comfort foods, my go tos. But
I also really love a good taco like. I love tacos.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Well, I can tell you which one I'm trying to
tacos wise, it's gonna be Bar Taco in Nashville. I've
never been there, but they say I love pretty good.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, I'm there.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Very creative with their tacos.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I love the fusion tacos too, right, that collaboration of
like Asian tacos. Or I was had Lebanese tacos the
other day, so good.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I'm with you.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Indian food tie food such a comfort dish, and that
actually sounds good for tonight. I'm thinking about what to
eat for dinner. I'm like, you can never go wrong
with Indian food food. Now, have you ever been down
to my neck of the woods here in Texas or Louisiana?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I sure have, it's been.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Do you dig out?
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I do love crawfish?
Speaker 7 (32:47):
I do.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I did.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
We call cray fish fish, and I'd say a favorite
part of crawfish the spicy medium exhaust.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
What do you like is it?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Is it at two? Is that like? That's a Louisiana Yeah, right,
I like the spicy. I'll go spicy.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
That's always a good thing. I got some at the
beach of the day. We got about five pounds and
shared it down there at the beach. It was kind
of that medium flavor, which was good. You had a
little pick sauce and maybe a little butter to it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It was pretty good. Eat those tales. I'm with you
on that two thing. I can't go wrong with.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Oh I miss it. I haven't even said that word
for so long. I miss being down there.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
It's good stuff right there too. I tell you what.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
We'll finished up with this one too. If you were
never a working musician, what are the career paths would
have been there for Tracy Bomber.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
I would have probably just been the worst waitress of
all time. It was the worst waitress. That's my That's
where I was going. Thank God for music. If I wasn't, seriously,
I am terrible at everything else. I'm a real like
right brain person and just creative all the time. So
to a fault. Maybe so I would be like I
(33:55):
couldn't sit down at a desk. It would have to
be something like where I didn't have to do any math.
Maybe like a cleaning lady. I'm pretty good at cleaning.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
I'm with you, No math better job, no doubt about it.
But hey, the musician thing kind of worked out. I did,
okay for she's the Hey I gotta ask you about this?
I mentioned that was the last one. I gotta throw
it in there. Are you sports fan at all teams?
Pro college? Who are you root for?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I wish I was that person to be like, oh yeah, Denver,
But I'm I'm just not. I do love I love
basketball and I played. I played basketball until all the
girls got really tall, So I get the game like
I can watch it, and I'd much rather be sitting
at a basketball game than like a football game. And
I do know that the Brooklyn Liberty is some a
(34:47):
team that I should check out because I know there's
a famous I can't remember her name even, but I've
been told that I need to go to a game
