Twenty joins us here, Miss twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
How you doing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm doing great. Thank you. Thanks for having me to that.
I appreciate it. It's been a while, it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Has been a while since we had talked as well,
but definitely we're gonna be playing a lot of the
music on the radio call ins this week. And congratulations
first of all on a really good album. It's so fantastic,
so many great songs off of there for people to
resonate with. Well, let's dive right into it before we
play some songs here on the show. Talk about this
one here just came out November the eighth. How proud
you are of this body of work and man, just
(01:10):
great selection of songs twenty that a lot of fans
can relate to.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Thank you, I appreciate it was definitely a closing of
a bad Girl era. And I feel like, you know,
my first whenever I've released an album, it's always been
tricky for different reasons that my first debut was in
the pandemic, and I feel like as an independent artist,
I've had so much more freedom, and you know, it's
(01:38):
really you can really hear my story of the last
two years of like going through a breakup and moving
to Nashville, and there's so many incredible writers on this.
I just feel like it's got a lot more depth.
And yeah, I think you really get to know me
as an artist through this record and this twenty two
(02:00):
songs because the year twenty twenty two was very pivotal
for me. And yeah, each song is like a show
in itself. And like I said, I think when you
listen to it from top to bottom, you really get
a sense of who I am, what I've been through,
(02:20):
and it's like, I dare anybody not to listen to
it and not at least like one song, do you
know what I mean? Like to me, I don't really
feel like there's any Every song has got a purpose,
there's no real fillers on that. There's like it just
I'm super super proud of it. And I don't really
say that a lot about myself that I'm just super
(02:41):
proud of everyone that helped me create that body of work.
And it felt so nice to close the chapter. And
we're already working on the next record, which is you know,
like a lot of these songs I wrote when I
was heartbroken, So when I listen to them now, I'm like,
I did a lot of healing through these last two
years on this record and now want to listen to
these songs back. It's a completely different feeling that I
(03:04):
have to when I wrote them.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It does have that too, and a lot of it's
just great storytelling us what country music and any genre
music is about, but especially country music too. We're gonna
play one here, just a little bit called hypothetically but
let's talk about one called that you did do it
on with Max Boyle Take a Break. I mean, this
is one that really hits close to home and a
lot of people need to hear this one too, because
we all need to be right, step back and what
(03:28):
smell the roses to take a break sometimes?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah? I mean me and Max wrote that when we
were both going through a breakup, and it's that horrendous
feeling of like the you know you've got anxiety, you
wake up, all you can think about is this person
and this breakup and you don't really seem to get
break from it. And you know, like a lot of
people either go out a lot, or they smile or
(03:51):
that everybody's got their vices, and it's like, I wish
you could just take a break from this break for
like two seconds, because the only time when you ever
really get a break is when you're sleeping, do you
know what I mean? So it was really fun to
write that with him, and he's incredible, and then you know,
like again we healed probably each other through through our
(04:15):
breakups and that song and a lot of people really
connect with it. It's the only duet I've ever done
so far. And I was like, yeah, let's just put
it out and it ended up being like one of
the first songs that have last of this year actually,
and yeah, it's been really cool to see how that's
been connecting with people.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
A lot of good songs, and I love this one.
Dance with somebody else. Let's let's dive into the backstory
of this one.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This is just like a metaphor for anybody that is
like not giving you what you deserve. And I'm always
like a hell yeah person, or it's like you hell yeah,
or a hell now? Do you know what I mean?
There's no there have to be you know, I'm like
older now, I'm not in my twenties. I know what
(05:03):
I want. I don't want. Any Time is precious. You know.
Everybody knows that, and it's like the greatest gift that
you can give someone. So I feel like a lot
of people don't value themselves enough, and I certainly didn't.
You know. I lost all my confidence through this breakup
and slowly regained it through friends, and you know, it's
something that you have to go through. But it's like, now,
(05:26):
this is quite an empowering song to me. I mean,
I love to dance at. The music video comes out
tomorrow actually, and it's just a fun way of saying, like,
you know, if you're not like going to dance with me,
if you're not gonna do life with me, I'm gonna
do it with somebody else, and you're gonna have to watch.
So make up your mind and like, let's do this,
(05:46):
Oh let's not.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know, Well, you had a great one too that
I remember you released as a single which was fantastic too,
The Greatest love Story, and it's actually on this particular
album too, which I love so much. And this one
really hit home with a lot of people out there too,
tremendous amount of streams and things that went just crazy
for you out there in the numbers category. Let's talk
(06:07):
about this one kind of relive it a little bit,
because what a title for a song, and then what
great writing in there to make it just your project
and it came out fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Thank you. I think that one for me was actually
born out of a real situation. It was my mom
and my stepdad. They actually met before either of them
got married, had a connection and they were broken up
from their partners at the time. My mom was broken
up from my dad and she sent him a letter
and I always put it down to the mailman why
(06:38):
I'm alive because he never got the letter. And she
married my dad, he married his wife, and then twenty
years later they reconnected. And I think that song has
it is very special because I feel like a lot
of people have, whether it's your first love or somebody
that it just the timing was wrong. Like I always,
(06:59):
I think we've emphasise about like, oh, if the timing
was right about with that person, then it all could
have worked out. I don't think anybody that's meant for you,
there's no wrong time and you can't mess it up.
And that is proven with those two that they're you know,
they they did have the connection, but it wasn't right
at the time. And then looking back, my mum was like,
(07:20):
well I would have never had you three kids and
this wouldn't have happened in my career, would never have happened.
And you know, so I think everything is divinely orchestrated
for people. And I think, like you know, I think
we're all a bit hopeless romantic of living in the
movieland of being like, oh, well, maybe in another life.
And I'm like, well, no, we're living in this life
(07:41):
and we only get one and if it's meant to be,
it will absolutely be and nothing that you can do
can mess that up because you will find people that
you are meant to find. And that song really reminds
me of kind of like you know, I am an
independent artist. We're all hustling. Yeah, I've moved from a
different country. I have this motto CMA week this week,
(08:05):
and I feel like it can be very weird for artists, like, oh,
I haven't been invited here and I haven't been it
can naturally as an artist, I think like when you
share your heart with the world, make you feel like, oh,
it's people gonna like me. Am I good enough? Am
I gonna fit in? And especially this week, I feel
like it's a really good reminder for me that like
(08:28):
I always try and go where the lover is and
where I'm wanted, And I think the greatest love story
never told for me is like me living in that
fantasy of like, oh, reminiscing on that person, but now
an actual reality, nothing is as good as you think
it's gonna be, like for everything, do you know what
(08:49):
I mean? And that's yeah, it's really special that song.
I think people are connected a lot with it because
it connects with that side of you of like that
one person you think about, wonder where they are now,
or you know, like our movie brand. And I go, like,
connected with so many people because we've all got to
in us.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
No doubt, dun and I always use that term hypothetical
sometimes when we ask those questions. We'll get to play
a song now from twenty on the Backstage Past. The
new album is something we used to say across all
those streaming platforms out there too, and it's called hypothetically.
Here it is from twenty on the Backstage Pass, powered

of music and sports and out there on KKTC True
Country point nine. Back here with twenty something, we used
to say the current album we got to dive into
(14:04):
it because I love the storytelling of this one, and
it's had to be a favorite to make the cut
of the twenty two songs on the record.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Hypothetically, let's dive into this one.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I think hypothetically was a really great segue into closing
the sad Girl era. But it was also like, I'm
working on a new project called Happy Hour, and I
I love and normally I'm a really like happy person,
you know, like I'm very positive I feel anyway, and
the last two years, of all these sad songs, I'm like,
(14:36):
why am I so sad? Madgie? It's kind of my
favorite because I don't think there's ever been a time
where anybody is happier to be sad. But Hypothetically I
wrote with Grace Gunn and Reed Sorell, and originally it
was I was a top liner in the session for
Grace and I came away from the session I was like,
the song about this song that I just feel like
(14:57):
is very me and I just love it, And subsequently
she was like, go for it, release it, and it
got played on the Highways playlist and Highway and that
one had many people texting me being like I cannot
talk to you anymore because I can't get this song
out of my head. It's very catchy, but it's a
hopeless romantic song. It's about like being in love with
(15:19):
someone or like you know, like your friend, and not
knowing how to navigate whether you tell them or not.
So that's also like I just kind of live in
Movieland a lot of the time, and so yeah, that
one was a really fun one to write, and it
goes down really well live as well.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's the beauty of those live shows. I've yet to
see you live playing.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm looking forward to getting up there back to Nashville
again and to see one of those twenty live shows
because I guarantee you people buy those tickets, get your
popcorn out there too, because she can put on one hill.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Of a live show.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I first met you too. We actually were at CRS
just a few years ago. You may or may not remember.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
We were at the dustin Lynch Victuary at the Brooklyn
Bowl when I met you, and I said, you know,
really wanted her on stage that night, but I know
she was going to be a force to be reckon
with here on just in country music, and I want
to ask you about that too, because a lot of
forces to be reckoned with right now in the female
category from all the names you could think of, and
what Laney's done over the past two three years. I
(16:16):
always tell people good luck talking to her one on
one now. She's such a busy lady. But I got
her back in twenty twenty when that pandemic before it occurred,
right during.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It, I should say.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
And at the same time, you've just seen her kind
of go and just really dominate these categories. You mentioned
c MA Week and the CMA Awards. Always loved doing
that and talking about it. But just the women getting
that due diligence. Give me your take on that and
just how this girl power movement is so special now
for country music.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I feel like it always has been. I feel like
just the industry doesn't recognize women as well as it
recognizes men. I mean, I'm international artist, and you know,
growing up the people that were massive of it, you know,
and then you can Europe was Shanai Twin and Dolly
and Reabert. It wasn't a maybe Garth, but like that
(17:04):
was more of my grandma's generation. I think, like Shanaia
and Taylor you know, they put on a show and
they're very like powerhouse women. I think, like what Learnie,
what she's done is absolutely incredible. Like we did a
show back in twenty nineteen and were signed to the
same label. I think, you know, there's a nostalgia with
her as well because she a voice is amazing. She
(17:27):
kind of reminds me of a young Dolly Parton and
she is what she is like Belmote Country, that's like
what she's been the whole time. It's just taken people.
I mean, it took her ten years for people to
recognize just how amazing she is. And like, you know,
everything happens one step at a time, and she's just
been on a great run. Same with Megan Maroney. There's
(17:50):
loads of amazing artists. I feel like one of my
best friends in the world is Lucy Silver's and I
think she's an absolute superstar. She's married to John Osborne
from Brothers, Ostphone, I've become. There's just you know, Mackenzie Carpenter.
There's just so many amazing women out there that are
(18:11):
just doing their own thing. And like I feel like
Nashville in particular, it's been a bit of a learning
curve for me because radio obviously works so differently to
the UK. We're tiny, you know, like we have Radio
one and Radio two. But for me, I think it's
been a very good lesson to I'm not always going
(18:33):
to fit everybody's mold and that's fine, but neither did Shanaia.
And sometimes, you know what I mean, like you just
have to a lot of people ask me my advice
because I've only really I've moved here about a year
and a half ago, and I was coming back, as
you know, for like six or seven years. But I
feel like once I I would dare say I was
(18:53):
more committed when I was doing the commute. That's a
long commute. But when I moved here and people in
this community was like, oh, she's here and she's committed,
I feel like it just escalated. Like I've played the
offer within like six months have been here, which is
unheard of, and then the highway and like all these
little wins. But I feel like it was like my
(19:14):
prep that I did for the six years you know,
leading up to that, that everything just kind of falls
into place, and a lot of that is so like, well,
I'm not scared to go outside the lines, and I
think that's maybe because I have a different perspective and
everyone questions, oh, and I've had this multiple times, like
(19:35):
is she country? Is she pop? Is she this? And
she's like and I'm like, well, you know, there's a
big I love country music because it's so diverse and
it's more of the storytelling for me, you know, like
I grew up as a gypsy. There's a lot of
synergy between how I grew up and there's no there's
no question why I ended up in Nashville because it's
all about community. And I think you just got to
(19:58):
really be authentic because the audience can tell if it's not,
And like, you know, country music is what it is,
and it's blowing up all over the world right now.
It's because we grew up in the nineties, Like we
grew up when there was the best boy bands, the
best girl bands, the best best pop. Obviously, a different
generation is going to have different people that you know,
(20:20):
they grew up like are inspired by and they put
the like drafts on and I think that is represented
in country music right now. And sometimes I think the
industry has like it takes a while for them to
like latch on and to me, it's been a great
lesson just to do twenty and like stay in my
(20:43):
own lane and just write the best music I possibly can,
and that it's authentic to me, because that's the only
person I think that I you know, I have to
go home and go to bed and be like, am
I proud of this? And some of the stuff. You know,
before when I have been signed, I haven't necessarily it
didn't always feel like me. So I'm very big on
(21:07):
authenticity and not putting me in a box. And you
know that that might hinder my career sometimes, but it
also might serve me. I think it has served me well.
And I think every artist should not be constrained with
rules or you know, because it kind of kills art.
(21:28):
You want to be experimental. That's I feel like that's
when when you're just outside of the lines and you're
you're scared and you're not sure and you're going to
divide opinion. I think that has like the essence of
like magic and greatness, And what artists do you know
that has not like conformed. My first job was with Queen.
(21:49):
Brian Mayer from Queen, and he tells an amazing story
about like Freddie like the Human Rhapsody, they didn't want to,
you know, play it, and Christapleton was in this for
a very long time. I feel like we need to
hear more stories like that because I never want to.
I never want to meet an artist or a creative
and kill their dream and be like, well you need
(22:11):
to be doing this. No, your one job is just
just be yourself and be authentic, and the people that
love you and that vibing on that frequency will find you.
And that's what I think is beautiful about a song
is because it's always going to find your audience, whether
it has a billion streams now or I could get
sync later on and that could blow up, like it
(22:32):
could go viral and then the game changes as you know,
but it doesn't. It doesn't really the value with the
song to me or like my artistry. It's hard for artists,
I think sometimes to remember, like because you're constantly comparing,
but it doesn't there's no value in the numbers sometimes
(22:55):
because it's all smart and mirrors. So I think, like, I,
you know, I don't know when you listen to my song,
or like when an audience member listens if they're listening
in Alabama or still contract in England. I don't know
what that's doing to a person or how it's helping
them or making them dance in their kitchen. And I
think when I think like that, it makes me feel
(23:16):
I just want to be of service to people. I
feel like that's my gift to this world. That's the
This is not my career, this is my lifestyle. This
is the only way that I know how to offer it.
So I feel like if you think about stuff like
that as any creative it's highs and lows. You're gonna
have some wins, You're gonna have some losses. You just
(23:36):
the only way I think you can win consistently is
by being yourself. And that's what I really tried to
do with this record and open my heart out into
the world and be like, Okay, yeah, I did get dumped,
I did get dropped by my label, but you know what,
I'm absolutely fine, and hopefully I can inspire some little
(23:58):
gypsy kid or you know, from around the world to
be like, I did move here and I'm doing it
and if I can do it, you can do it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
So well said too, and you're one of the more
creative minds of the business. And then we had a
chance to talk on numerous radio shows I've done with you,
and of course in person there in Nashville, Tennessee, and
I just loved that what comes out You exuberate that
so much. And it's just the joy that comes out
of these songs, from the personal experiences to everything on there.
Speaker 2 (24:22):

two hour show playing independent and mainstream country music you
know and love. Be sure to check it out at
the Kangordonshow dot com for more information on the show,
and a.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Lot of audience members love that one from twenty right
there too again. KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine,
again presented by a Friends over at the Kaden Gordonshow
dot com Today's best Country Mix out there too, so
let's dive into it. I love again those titles that
come up, you know, such as on this record, like
a crazy X or something we used to say, or
you know, dance with somebody Else. A lot of these
(28:13):
titles we've talked about, but Audience had a good feel
to it, and I feel like a lot of people
can can resonate with this.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, I mean, Audience is probably one of my favorites
on the record. It was written with my friend who's
also from my hometown, Jess Ashurst, and it was just
kind of about all the people that I knew in
my life, and I think like it has this message
of like every broken heart needs an audience, Like I
(28:39):
needed people to listen to me to put me back
together again. I think, like, you know, on a wider spectrum,
like we actually human connection is something we all crave
and need and like we all just want to be
We all want to feel seen and heard by someone,
(29:00):
and even like sometimes when you're having conflict through someone,
it's like what are we fighting against here? Like do
you want to be right? Or do you want the
power or whatever? People just need to feel like understood,
and I feel like, on a bigger scale of what's
happening with the world, like we all have that like
human need to feel a connection and just to feel
(29:21):
like safe. So I have played that actually at the
Country Music Hall of Fame and the last line is like,
I guess my broken heart sometimes needs an audience. And
I was like, Country Music Hall of Fame, thanks for
being on my audience, and like so many people came
up to me afterwards, and whether it was like a
(29:41):
wife that got cheated on or somebody's dad died. I
found that that song is really powerful because people know
of somebody that that has happened to, whether it be
themselves or somebody else, and they're like, oh, yeah, we're
all we're not too different. We're all we're moss than
we are different. So I love that song and it's
(30:03):
a real fun song to play as my last song
to the audience. It's like, thank you for listening to
me and making me feel like the stuff that I'm
putting out is worthy of listening to.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well, you'll have a lot of fun with this one too.
And I think we've talked about this before, but I
love that you can get down and dirty. Any songs
or sas can come out well, one like Crazy X.
When it comes down to it, that had to be
fun when to not only record but to play live
and the attitude comes out because we've all had the
Crazy X stories.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Right, Oh definitely. I mean I did go a little
bit crazy when he slept with me. I mean he
did go with me on the email after ten years,
and I really did lose my mind and hence why
I moved to Nashville, because I was like, I need
a new life. But yeah, it is. I've never been arrested,
(30:50):
but it is true that I was once wanted by
the met problem and police for crawling up a roof
and trying to shine it my iPhone torch and my
light through his window to see who's cheating on me.
He wasn't there, but the police did get cold, and
then I had to go into the voluntarily, i will say,
(31:11):
into the police station. And it's so funny. It felt
like my life was such a movie. I feel like
my life is either like a tragedy or like a
rom com that's about to go so right, and I'm
hoping that it. I've recently met somebody who's great and
I'm like, just don't break up with me until like
(31:32):
at least six months because I need to like write
all the happy hour stuff and then you can break
up with me when I need more inspiration. I feel
like I feel like it's life though, like everyone's gone
a little bit crazy ones that've been broken up to.
Love makes you do crazy things. So yeah, that's dedicated
(31:55):
to all my crazy exes out there.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Another one off, this one too again records something we
used to say from twenty just like Earl, Let's dive
into this one too because I love backstories. And another
great title for a song, Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Like the twin sister to Goodbye Earl from the Dixie Sicks,
And this was like, you know, I have a lot
of married friends and they're constantly complaining about their husbands
like not picking up after themselves, or they've got three kids, Like, well,
actually I've got four because he's like a kid as well.
And I obviously had a lot of rage from my
(32:32):
breakup but being ghosted, so I was like, luckily it's
legal to kill you and all of my songs so
I was like, yeah, you decided we weren't forever, but
I'm gonna make us immortal in these songs. And yeah,
that was a really fun one to write. And it
also goes down so well. You could just see all
(32:52):
the women in the audience like laughing, and all the
men are absolutely petrified in me. I'm like, I promise
I'm not a psycho. I have to tell the backstory beforehand.
But yeah, that's a really fun one to play out live.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Great body working, twenty two great songs out there. Something
we used to say across all the streaming platforms wherever
you guys downloader stream music and get all your great
music out there too. All let's have a little fun.
You know, Nashville is no stranger to great restaurants, and
every time I go there, there's always something else that
really just catches, you know, Like I said, the attention
of what you want to eat or don't eat, but
then when you eat it, you're like, man, this is
one of my favorite things. Whether it be a cup
(33:28):
of coffee a place, or a taco truck or something
like that, or just any type of Italian food that
I can get myself into.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
When you've gone out lately, what have you gotten into.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I found a really great sushi restaurant called I think
it's called it's tent on jack Over on the East Side.
I love that.
Speaker 10 (33:48):
Also.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I sucker for like a good New York vibe. There
is I've forgotten the name now it's on West End.
Why can I not think of that? Yeah, but yeah,
like I love my coffee. I love does. There's actually
so like there's too much choice I feel in Nashville.
(34:10):
I tell you, the one thing that you guys don't
do well is Indian food. I really miss Indian food,
proper Indian food when I'm over here. Obviously London has
some of the best, but yeah, I yeah, I love
all of it. And when I'm actually aware, I kind
(34:30):
of miss the food here because it's so good. But
these devil eggs that you get, that's the thing that
we don't have in England. That's awesome.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
But yeah, I go to it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I love Twelve South, the whole Twelve South a piece
is amazing. If you like kind of Turkish, Greek food,
burger up you do. You guys do great barbecue, great Mexican.
I'm also like a fan for at LEAs. I just
love at Least they do an avocado salad, which is
(35:04):
probably not the reason why people. Most people got to ed.
But I love the catfish there.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
And I had it on top, So yeah, I like
that too, especially the little health kick. And then I
love Indian food. I'm with you on that too. There's
some good places here in Texas, like hole in the wall,
places that are just really good there that you never
would know they had great food until you actually ate
there too. All right, let's finish with this one too.
And during the downtime, I know fitness is a big
thing for me. Self care has got to be honestly
out there for a lot of people. When you have
(35:30):
a little downtime, what do you like to get kind
of into for hobbies and just get your mind off
of music.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I love to dance. I was a professional back end
dancer for a lot of other artists. So there's a
place that my friend teaches at joy who actually choreographed
the dance for somebody else video. So I go to
like a little dance studio. And I love a hike.
You guys have got some really like lovely hikes. I
(35:57):
love being out in nature and I feel like that
kind of settles my mind and just go touch some
grass because I feel like that grounds me. But I
love dance and I hate with a passion running. I
don't get people that run. I don't ever want to
run ever. Also, I've kind of got a metal leg
(36:18):
from a by accident, so that's kind of my excuse
why I don't run. But I love, I absolutely love
to dance. And on this next record, the songs that
we're putting out, I'm just gonna be dancing all over.
It's kind of like disco country.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
So he's with the appetite right there, no doubt. And
I can't wait for this disco country to come out too.
But I'm gonna keep in joining the one. You guys
should be listening to something we used to say across
all those the DSPs out there and wherever you download
a stream music, and I cannot wait for the next one.
Always a great friend to the show. Give her a

Twenty joins us here, Miss twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
How you doing.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I'm doing great. Thank you. Thanks for having me to that.
I appreciate it. It's been a while, it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Has been a while since we had talked as well,
but definitely we're gonna be playing a lot of the
music on the radio call ins this week. And congratulations
first of all on a really good album. It's so fantastic,
so many great songs off of there for people to
resonate with. Well, let's dive right into it before we
play some songs here on the show. Talk about this
one here just came out November the eighth. How proud
you are of this body of work and man, just
(01:10):
great selection of songs twenty that a lot of fans
can relate to.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Thank you, I appreciate it was definitely a closing of
a bad Girl era. And I feel like, you know,
my first whenever I've released an album, it's always been
tricky for different reasons that my first debut was in
the pandemic, and I feel like as an independent artist,
I've had so much more freedom, and you know, it's
(01:38):
really you can really hear my story of the last
two years of like going through a breakup and moving
to Nashville, and there's so many incredible writers on this.
I just feel like it's got a lot more depth.
And yeah, I think you really get to know me
as an artist through this record and this twenty two
(02:00):
songs because the year twenty twenty two was very pivotal
for me. And yeah, each song is like a show
in itself. And like I said, I think when you
listen to it from top to bottom, you really get
a sense of who I am, what I've been through,
(02:20):
and it's like, I dare anybody not to listen to
it and not at least like one song, do you
know what I mean? Like to me, I don't really
feel like there's any Every song has got a purpose,
there's no real fillers on that. There's like it just
I'm super super proud of it. And I don't really
say that a lot about myself that I'm just super
(02:41):
proud of everyone that helped me create that body of work.
And it felt so nice to close the chapter. And
we're already working on the next record, which is you know,
like a lot of these songs I wrote when I
was heartbroken, So when I listen to them now, I'm like,
I did a lot of healing through these last two
years on this record and now want to listen to
these songs back. It's a completely different feeling that I
(03:04):
have to when I wrote them.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It does have that too, and a lot of it's
just great storytelling us what country music and any genre
music is about, but especially country music too. We're gonna
play one here, just a little bit called hypothetically but
let's talk about one called that you did do it
on with Max Boyle Take a Break. I mean, this
is one that really hits close to home and a
lot of people need to hear this one too, because
we all need to be right, step back and what
(03:28):
smell the roses to take a break sometimes?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah? I mean me and Max wrote that when we
were both going through a breakup, and it's that horrendous
feeling of like the you know you've got anxiety, you
wake up, all you can think about is this person
and this breakup and you don't really seem to get
break from it. And you know, like a lot of
people either go out a lot, or they smile or
(03:51):
that everybody's got their vices, and it's like, I wish
you could just take a break from this break for
like two seconds, because the only time when you ever
really get a break is when you're sleeping, do you
know what I mean? So it was really fun to
write that with him, and he's incredible, and then you know,
like again we healed probably each other through through our
(04:15):
breakups and that song and a lot of people really
connect with it. It's the only duet I've ever done
so far. And I was like, yeah, let's just put
it out and it ended up being like one of
the first songs that have last of this year actually,
and yeah, it's been really cool to see how that's
been connecting with people.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
A lot of good songs, and I love this one.
Dance with somebody else. Let's let's dive into the backstory
of this one.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This is just like a metaphor for anybody that is
like not giving you what you deserve. And I'm always
like a hell yeah person, or it's like you hell yeah,
or a hell now? Do you know what I mean?
There's no there have to be you know, I'm like
older now, I'm not in my twenties. I know what
(05:03):
I want. I don't want. Any Time is precious. You know.
Everybody knows that, and it's like the greatest gift that
you can give someone. So I feel like a lot
of people don't value themselves enough, and I certainly didn't.
You know. I lost all my confidence through this breakup
and slowly regained it through friends, and you know, it's
something that you have to go through. But it's like, now,
(05:26):
this is quite an empowering song to me. I mean,
I love to dance at. The music video comes out
tomorrow actually, and it's just a fun way of saying, like,
you know, if you're not like going to dance with me,
if you're not gonna do life with me, I'm gonna
do it with somebody else, and you're gonna have to watch.
So make up your mind and like, let's do this,
(05:46):
Oh let's not.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You know, Well, you had a great one too that
I remember you released as a single which was fantastic too,
The Greatest love Story, and it's actually on this particular
album too, which I love so much. And this one
really hit home with a lot of people out there too,
tremendous amount of streams and things that went just crazy
for you out there in the numbers category. Let's talk
(06:07):
about this one kind of relive it a little bit,
because what a title for a song, and then what
great writing in there to make it just your project
and it came out fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Thank you. I think that one for me was actually
born out of a real situation. It was my mom
and my stepdad. They actually met before either of them
got married, had a connection and they were broken up
from their partners at the time. My mom was broken
up from my dad and she sent him a letter
and I always put it down to the mailman why
(06:38):
I'm alive because he never got the letter. And she
married my dad, he married his wife, and then twenty
years later they reconnected. And I think that song has
it is very special because I feel like a lot
of people have, whether it's your first love or somebody
that it just the timing was wrong. Like I always,
(06:59):
I think we've emphasise about like, oh, if the timing
was right about with that person, then it all could
have worked out. I don't think anybody that's meant for you,
there's no wrong time and you can't mess it up.
And that is proven with those two that they're you know,
they they did have the connection, but it wasn't right
at the time. And then looking back, my mum was like,
(07:20):
well I would have never had you three kids and
this wouldn't have happened in my career, would never have happened.
And you know, so I think everything is divinely orchestrated
for people. And I think, like you know, I think
we're all a bit hopeless romantic of living in the
movieland of being like, oh, well, maybe in another life.
And I'm like, well, no, we're living in this life
(07:41):
and we only get one and if it's meant to be,
it will absolutely be and nothing that you can do
can mess that up because you will find people that
you are meant to find. And that song really reminds
me of kind of like you know, I am an
independent artist. We're all hustling. Yeah, I've moved from a
different country. I have this motto CMA week this week,
(08:05):
and I feel like it can be very weird for artists, like, oh,
I haven't been invited here and I haven't been it
can naturally as an artist, I think like when you
share your heart with the world, make you feel like, oh,
it's people gonna like me. Am I good enough? Am
I gonna fit in? And especially this week, I feel
like it's a really good reminder for me that like
(08:28):
I always try and go where the lover is and
where I'm wanted, And I think the greatest love story
never told for me is like me living in that
fantasy of like, oh, reminiscing on that person, but now
an actual reality, nothing is as good as you think
it's gonna be, like for everything, do you know what
(08:49):
I mean? And that's yeah, it's really special that song.
I think people are connected a lot with it because
it connects with that side of you of like that
one person you think about, wonder where they are now,
or you know, like our movie brand. And I go, like,
connected with so many people because we've all got to
in us.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
No doubt, dun and I always use that term hypothetical
sometimes when we ask those questions. We'll get to play
a song now from twenty on the Backstage Past. The
new album is something we used to say across all
those streaming platforms out there too, and it's called hypothetically.
Here it is from twenty on the Backstage Pass, powered
by the Sports Guys podcast dot com and exclusive on

of music and sports and out there on KKTC True
Country point nine. Back here with twenty something, we used
to say the current album we got to dive into
(14:04):
it because I love the storytelling of this one, and
it's had to be a favorite to make the cut
of the twenty two songs on the record.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Hypothetically, let's dive into this one.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I think hypothetically was a really great segue into closing
the sad Girl era. But it was also like, I'm
working on a new project called Happy Hour, and I
I love and normally I'm a really like happy person,
you know, like I'm very positive I feel anyway, and
the last two years, of all these sad songs, I'm like,
(14:36):
why am I so sad? Madgie? It's kind of my
favorite because I don't think there's ever been a time
where anybody is happier to be sad. But Hypothetically I
wrote with Grace Gunn and Reed Sorell, and originally it
was I was a top liner in the session for
Grace and I came away from the session I was like,
the song about this song that I just feel like
(14:57):
is very me and I just love it, And subsequently
she was like, go for it, release it, and it
got played on the Highways playlist and Highway and that
one had many people texting me being like I cannot
talk to you anymore because I can't get this song
out of my head. It's very catchy, but it's a
hopeless romantic song. It's about like being in love with
(15:19):
someone or like you know, like your friend, and not
knowing how to navigate whether you tell them or not.
So that's also like I just kind of live in
Movieland a lot of the time, and so yeah, that
one was a really fun one to write, and it
goes down really well live as well.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's the beauty of those live shows. I've yet to
see you live playing.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm looking forward to getting up there back to Nashville
again and to see one of those twenty live shows
because I guarantee you people buy those tickets, get your
popcorn out there too, because she can put on one hill.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Of a live show.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I know.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I first met you too. We actually were at CRS
just a few years ago. You may or may not remember.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
We were at the dustin Lynch Victuary at the Brooklyn
Bowl when I met you, and I said, you know,
really wanted her on stage that night, but I know
she was going to be a force to be reckon
with here on just in country music, and I want
to ask you about that too, because a lot of
forces to be reckoned with right now in the female
category from all the names you could think of, and
what Laney's done over the past two three years. I
(16:16):
always tell people good luck talking to her one on
one now. She's such a busy lady. But I got
her back in twenty twenty when that pandemic before it occurred,
right during.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It, I should say.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
And at the same time, you've just seen her kind
of go and just really dominate these categories. You mentioned
c MA Week and the CMA Awards. Always loved doing
that and talking about it. But just the women getting
that due diligence. Give me your take on that and
just how this girl power movement is so special now
for country music.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I feel like it always has been. I feel like
just the industry doesn't recognize women as well as it
recognizes men. I mean, I'm international artist, and you know,
growing up the people that were massive of it, you know,
and then you can Europe was Shanai Twin and Dolly
and Reabert. It wasn't a maybe Garth, but like that
(17:04):
was more of my grandma's generation. I think, like Shanaia
and Taylor you know, they put on a show and
they're very like powerhouse women. I think, like what Learnie,
what she's done is absolutely incredible. Like we did a
show back in twenty nineteen and were signed to the
same label. I think, you know, there's a nostalgia with
her as well because she a voice is amazing. She
(17:27):
kind of reminds me of a young Dolly Parton and
she is what she is like Belmote Country, that's like
what she's been the whole time. It's just taken people.
I mean, it took her ten years for people to
recognize just how amazing she is. And like, you know,
everything happens one step at a time, and she's just
been on a great run. Same with Megan Maroney. There's
(17:50):
loads of amazing artists. I feel like one of my
best friends in the world is Lucy Silver's and I
think she's an absolute superstar. She's married to John Osborne
from Brothers, Ostphone, I've become. There's just you know, Mackenzie Carpenter.
There's just so many amazing women out there that are
(18:11):
just doing their own thing. And like I feel like
Nashville in particular, it's been a bit of a learning
curve for me because radio obviously works so differently to
the UK. We're tiny, you know, like we have Radio
one and Radio two. But for me, I think it's
been a very good lesson to I'm not always going
(18:33):
to fit everybody's mold and that's fine, but neither did Shanaia.
And sometimes, you know what I mean, like you just
have to a lot of people ask me my advice
because I've only really I've moved here about a year
and a half ago, and I was coming back, as
you know, for like six or seven years. But I
feel like once I I would dare say I was
(18:53):
more committed when I was doing the commute. That's a
long commute. But when I moved here and people in
this community was like, oh, she's here and she's committed,
I feel like it just escalated. Like I've played the
offer within like six months have been here, which is
unheard of, and then the highway and like all these
little wins. But I feel like it was like my
(19:14):
prep that I did for the six years you know,
leading up to that, that everything just kind of falls
into place, and a lot of that is so like, well,
I'm not scared to go outside the lines, and I
think that's maybe because I have a different perspective and
everyone questions, oh, and I've had this multiple times, like
(19:35):
is she country? Is she pop? Is she this? And
she's like and I'm like, well, you know, there's a
big I love country music because it's so diverse and
it's more of the storytelling for me, you know, like
I grew up as a gypsy. There's a lot of
synergy between how I grew up and there's no there's
no question why I ended up in Nashville because it's
all about community. And I think you just got to
(19:58):
really be authentic because the audience can tell if it's not,
And like, you know, country music is what it is,
and it's blowing up all over the world right now.
It's because we grew up in the nineties, Like we
grew up when there was the best boy bands, the
best girl bands, the best best pop. Obviously, a different
generation is going to have different people that you know,
(20:20):
they grew up like are inspired by and they put
the like drafts on and I think that is represented
in country music right now. And sometimes I think the
industry has like it takes a while for them to
like latch on and to me, it's been a great
lesson just to do twenty and like stay in my
(20:43):
own lane and just write the best music I possibly can,
and that it's authentic to me, because that's the only
person I think that I you know, I have to
go home and go to bed and be like, am
I proud of this? And some of the stuff. You know,
before when I have been signed, I haven't necessarily it
didn't always feel like me. So I'm very big on
(21:07):
authenticity and not putting me in a box. And you
know that that might hinder my career sometimes, but it
also might serve me. I think it has served me well.
And I think every artist should not be constrained with
rules or you know, because it kind of kills art.
(21:28):
You want to be experimental. That's I feel like that's
when when you're just outside of the lines and you're
you're scared and you're not sure and you're going to
divide opinion. I think that has like the essence of
like magic and greatness, And what artists do you know
that has not like conformed. My first job was with Queen.
(21:49):
Brian Mayer from Queen, and he tells an amazing story
about like Freddie like the Human Rhapsody, they didn't want to,
you know, play it, and Christapleton was in this for
a very long time. I feel like we need to
hear more stories like that because I never want to.
I never want to meet an artist or a creative
and kill their dream and be like, well you need
(22:11):
to be doing this. No, your one job is just
just be yourself and be authentic, and the people that
love you and that vibing on that frequency will find you.
And that's what I think is beautiful about a song
is because it's always going to find your audience, whether
it has a billion streams now or I could get
sync later on and that could blow up, like it
(22:32):
could go viral and then the game changes as you know,
but it doesn't. It doesn't really the value with the
song to me or like my artistry. It's hard for artists,
I think sometimes to remember, like because you're constantly comparing,
but it doesn't there's no value in the numbers sometimes
(22:55):
because it's all smart and mirrors. So I think, like, I,
you know, I don't know when you listen to my song,
or like when an audience member listens if they're listening
in Alabama or still contract in England. I don't know
what that's doing to a person or how it's helping
them or making them dance in their kitchen. And I
think when I think like that, it makes me feel
(23:16):
I just want to be of service to people. I
feel like that's my gift to this world. That's the
This is not my career, this is my lifestyle. This
is the only way that I know how to offer it.
So I feel like if you think about stuff like
that as any creative it's highs and lows. You're gonna
have some wins, You're gonna have some losses. You just
(23:36):
the only way I think you can win consistently is
by being yourself. And that's what I really tried to
do with this record and open my heart out into
the world and be like, Okay, yeah, I did get dumped,
I did get dropped by my label, but you know what,
I'm absolutely fine, and hopefully I can inspire some little
(23:58):
gypsy kid or you know, from around the world to
be like, I did move here and I'm doing it
and if I can do it, you can do it.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
So well said too, and you're one of the more
creative minds of the business. And then we had a
chance to talk on numerous radio shows I've done with you,
and of course in person there in Nashville, Tennessee, and
I just loved that what comes out You exuberate that
so much. And it's just the joy that comes out
of these songs, from the personal experiences to everything on there.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Twenty two great songs on there.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Something we used to say from twenty make sure you
guys go check it out across all those streaming platforms.
And speaking of audience, you're gonna love this one. It's
actually called audience here from twenty Many of these folks
are gonna crack it up here KKDC, True Country ninety
nine point nine. Back in the Flash, they.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Too, and Joey lost his mouth.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
He got holday, wouldn't talk about, didn't have a lot
to say, Goods Sunday confession.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
He spoke to God to make a miss. I guess
every broken.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Heart sometimes needs an audience.
Speaker 12 (25:13):
Mary's husband cheat with Janey down in the room, she
threw him out, him beat, that's every him. She suffered
there in silence, broke down and told her friends, I
guess every broken heart sometimes he needs an audience. We
(25:44):
all need somebody in a listen, because sometimes it.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Makes all the dead friends.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I went.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
I lost my first at the age of seventeen. I
like myself in my room.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
I didn't need pholis and I cried on.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Your shoulder when he took my innocence.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I guess every.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Boken out Sometimes in these an.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
Audience, the show is nearly over and the lightsicleing down.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I sing the song about thank you.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
You're not in the crowd been. I know you're up
there listening on a cloud and heaven.
Speaker 12 (27:09):
So I guess every broken hat sometimes needs an audience.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
I guess my broken heart sometimes need.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Hey all, this is Nashville recording artist Taylor Austin Die
and you're listening to the backstage pass on KKTC True
Country ninety nine point nine.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
That Kaden Gordon Show Today's Best Country Mix is a
two hour show playing independent and mainstream country music you
know and love. Be sure to check it out at
the Kangordonshow dot com for more information on the show,
and a.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Lot of audience members love that one from twenty right
there too again. KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine,
again presented by a Friends over at the Kaden Gordonshow
dot com Today's best Country Mix out there too, so
let's dive into it. I love again those titles that
come up, you know, such as on this record, like
a crazy X or something we used to say, or
you know, dance with somebody Else. A lot of these
(28:13):
titles we've talked about, but Audience had a good feel
to it, and I feel like a lot of people
can can resonate with this.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, I mean, Audience is probably one of my favorites
on the record. It was written with my friend who's
also from my hometown, Jess Ashurst, and it was just
kind of about all the people that I knew in
my life, and I think like it has this message
of like every broken heart needs an audience, Like I
(28:39):
needed people to listen to me to put me back
together again. I think, like, you know, on a wider spectrum,
like we actually human connection is something we all crave
and need and like we all just want to be
We all want to feel seen and heard by someone,
(29:00):
and even like sometimes when you're having conflict through someone,
it's like what are we fighting against here? Like do
you want to be right? Or do you want the
power or whatever? People just need to feel like understood,
and I feel like, on a bigger scale of what's
happening with the world, like we all have that like
human need to feel a connection and just to feel
(29:21):
like safe. So I have played that actually at the
Country Music Hall of Fame and the last line is like,
I guess my broken heart sometimes needs an audience. And
I was like, Country Music Hall of Fame, thanks for
being on my audience, and like so many people came
up to me afterwards, and whether it was like a
(29:41):
wife that got cheated on or somebody's dad died. I
found that that song is really powerful because people know
of somebody that that has happened to, whether it be
themselves or somebody else, and they're like, oh, yeah, we're
all we're not too different. We're all we're moss than
we are different. So I love that song and it's
(30:03):
a real fun song to play as my last song
to the audience. It's like, thank you for listening to
me and making me feel like the stuff that I'm
putting out is worthy of listening to.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Well, you'll have a lot of fun with this one too.
And I think we've talked about this before, but I
love that you can get down and dirty. Any songs
or sas can come out well, one like Crazy X.
When it comes down to it, that had to be
fun when to not only record but to play live
and the attitude comes out because we've all had the
Crazy X stories.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Right, Oh definitely. I mean I did go a little
bit crazy when he slept with me. I mean he
did go with me on the email after ten years,
and I really did lose my mind and hence why
I moved to Nashville, because I was like, I need
a new life. But yeah, it is. I've never been arrested,
(30:50):
but it is true that I was once wanted by
the met problem and police for crawling up a roof
and trying to shine it my iPhone torch and my
light through his window to see who's cheating on me.
He wasn't there, but the police did get cold, and
then I had to go into the voluntarily, i will say,
(31:11):
into the police station. And it's so funny. It felt
like my life was such a movie. I feel like
my life is either like a tragedy or like a
rom com that's about to go so right, and I'm
hoping that it. I've recently met somebody who's great and
I'm like, just don't break up with me until like
(31:32):
at least six months because I need to like write
all the happy hour stuff and then you can break
up with me when I need more inspiration. I feel
like I feel like it's life though, like everyone's gone
a little bit crazy ones that've been broken up to.
Love makes you do crazy things. So yeah, that's dedicated
(31:55):
to all my crazy exes out there.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Another one off, this one too again records something we
used to say from twenty just like Earl, Let's dive
into this one too because I love backstories. And another
great title for a song, Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Like the twin sister to Goodbye Earl from the Dixie Sicks,
And this was like, you know, I have a lot
of married friends and they're constantly complaining about their husbands
like not picking up after themselves, or they've got three kids, Like, well,
actually I've got four because he's like a kid as well.
And I obviously had a lot of rage from my
(32:32):
breakup but being ghosted, so I was like, luckily it's
legal to kill you and all of my songs so
I was like, yeah, you decided we weren't forever, but
I'm gonna make us immortal in these songs. And yeah,
that was a really fun one to write. And it
also goes down so well. You could just see all
(32:52):
the women in the audience like laughing, and all the
men are absolutely petrified in me. I'm like, I promise
I'm not a psycho. I have to tell the backstory beforehand.
But yeah, that's a really fun one to play out live.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Great body working, twenty two great songs out there. Something
we used to say across all the streaming platforms wherever
you guys downloader stream music and get all your great
music out there too. All let's have a little fun.
You know, Nashville is no stranger to great restaurants, and
every time I go there, there's always something else that
really just catches, you know, Like I said, the attention
of what you want to eat or don't eat, but
then when you eat it, you're like, man, this is
one of my favorite things. Whether it be a cup
(33:28):
of coffee a place, or a taco truck or something
like that, or just any type of Italian food that
I can get myself into.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
When you've gone out lately, what have you gotten into.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I found a really great sushi restaurant called I think
it's called it's tent on jack Over on the East Side.
I love that.
Speaker 10 (33:48):
Also.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I sucker for like a good New York vibe. There
is I've forgotten the name now it's on West End.
Why can I not think of that? Yeah, but yeah,
like I love my coffee. I love does. There's actually
so like there's too much choice I feel in Nashville.
(34:10):
I tell you, the one thing that you guys don't
do well is Indian food. I really miss Indian food,
proper Indian food when I'm over here. Obviously London has
some of the best, but yeah, I yeah, I love
all of it. And when I'm actually aware, I kind
(34:30):
of miss the food here because it's so good. But
these devil eggs that you get, that's the thing that
we don't have in England. That's awesome.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
But yeah, I go to it.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I love Twelve South, the whole Twelve South a piece
is amazing. If you like kind of Turkish, Greek food,
burger up you do. You guys do great barbecue, great Mexican.
I'm also like a fan for at LEAs. I just
love at Least they do an avocado salad, which is
(35:04):
probably not the reason why people. Most people got to ed.
But I love the catfish there.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
And I had it on top, So yeah, I like
that too, especially the little health kick. And then I
love Indian food. I'm with you on that too. There's
some good places here in Texas, like hole in the wall,
places that are just really good there that you never
would know they had great food until you actually ate
there too. All right, let's finish with this one too.
And during the downtime, I know fitness is a big
thing for me. Self care has got to be honestly
out there for a lot of people. When you have
(35:30):
a little downtime, what do you like to get kind
of into for hobbies and just get your mind off
of music.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I love to dance. I was a professional back end
dancer for a lot of other artists. So there's a
place that my friend teaches at joy who actually choreographed
the dance for somebody else video. So I go to
like a little dance studio. And I love a hike.
You guys have got some really like lovely hikes. I
(35:57):
love being out in nature and I feel like that
kind of settles my mind and just go touch some
grass because I feel like that grounds me. But I
love dance and I hate with a passion running. I
don't get people that run. I don't ever want to
run ever. Also, I've kind of got a metal leg
(36:18):
from a by accident, so that's kind of my excuse
why I don't run. But I love, I absolutely love
to dance. And on this next record, the songs that
we're putting out, I'm just gonna be dancing all over.
It's kind of like disco country.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
So he's with the appetite right there, no doubt. And
I can't wait for this disco country to come out too.
But I'm gonna keep in joining the one. You guys
should be listening to something we used to say across
all those the DSPs out there and wherever you download
a stream music, and I cannot wait for the next one.
Always a great friend to the show. Give her a
like on me out there. Check out the concerts and
merchandise too at the website and I believe it's twentyofficial
(36:52):
dot com is the web out there too. Remember that
always got to do your homework here on these shows.
And my friend appreciate so much. Looking forward to seeing
you at some point in Nashville in twenty twenty five,
and we'll definitely do this again and always love you
coming on to promote the music and all the records.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
So much for having me, dude, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
One of the best out there twenty across all the
digital streaming platforms. And something we used to say right
here on KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine and

Ole Oprary and out There presented by the kadangordonshow dot
Com Today's best country mix. We'll see you guys on
