Last week, my guest was Danielle Cosby. 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.899 songstress out of Nashville, Tennessee. Her new 00:01:03.899 --> 00:01:07.640 single, You, is available everywhere this Friday, 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.319 July 12th. We're keeping it in the Music City 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.859 today, welcoming back one of my favorite singer 00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:17.579 -songwriter guests who originally appeared way 00:01:17.579 --> 00:01:22.599 back on episode number nine, Dan Harrison. Not 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.920 only have I been listening to Dan's songs since 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.400 last October, my little boys have latched on. 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.069 They've got their favorites. I can't tell you 00:01:31.069 --> 00:01:33.909 how many times I've asked them, what do you guys 00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:36.969 want to hear? And they reply from the back seat, 00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:42.590 we went south. We went south. On the interstate, 00:01:42.870 --> 00:01:46.769 heading straight for that small town. The town. 00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:50.769 So that's Wyatt singing his favorite song, We 00:01:50.769 --> 00:01:53.870 Went South. I remember driving home from T -ball 00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:56.950 practice with Lauren this past spring, and we 00:01:56.950 --> 00:02:00.859 listened to Alameda. On his request, no fewer 00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:04.959 than about 10 times in a row. On this episode, 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.199 Dan's promoting the current single, Talkin' Dirty, 00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:11.919 downloaded on all platforms. Dan's music, at 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.319 least for me, is just perfect riding around music. 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.080 It takes you places, gets you thinking, makes 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.719 you reminisce, makes you wonder about what's 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.659 possible. The choruses get stuck in your head, 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.379 the riffs, the solos. and all the other accents 00:02:28.379 --> 00:02:31.740 that make these songs uniquely Dan Harrison. 00:02:32.379 --> 00:02:35.400 This is pro quality. Dan Harrison is a thinking 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.400 man's songwriter. He's a music fan. He was also 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:43.379 a double major at Wake Forest and speaks fluent 00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:46.340 Spanish. Dan knows the elements of a great song. 00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:49.199 He knows how to connect with the listener on 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.879 an emotional level and he surrounds himself with 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.419 talented people in the industry. When he's not 00:02:55.419 --> 00:02:58.400 writing his own songs, Dan is also out there 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.780 on stage performing with other musicians.

And, uh, I understand 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.160 you just played a show today that was not scheduled, 00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:18.600 but how'd that go? This this gig was a was actually 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.439 a little bit different. It wasn't my gig. I was 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.199 playing guitar for a buddy of mine I do I play 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.879 guitar for a bunch of different artists friends 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.319 of mine as well as my own gigs, but either way 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.279 It's just always fun to get the call and go out 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.240 and it was for a festival in downtown Nashville 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.399 today And that's always fun to play especially 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.779 in the summer just everyone's out like good spirits 00:05:37.779 --> 00:05:40.639 good vibes and that that never gets old and I 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.920 just love to be out in the in the in the Sun 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.189 and and playing some tunes. Although, the sun 00:05:46.189 --> 00:05:48.269 is pretty hot today. It's been pretty hot. I 00:05:48.269 --> 00:05:49.769 don't know, you guys having that heat wave too? 00:05:50.089 --> 00:05:53.269 Because, man, it is rough here. It has been rough. 00:05:53.850 --> 00:05:57.170 Yeah, you know, you just try to get close to 00:05:57.170 --> 00:06:00.209 the water down here. Because if it's that hot, 00:06:01.009 --> 00:06:02.389 the breeze makes a little bit of difference, 00:06:03.269 --> 00:06:07.269 but yeah. Oh, it does. But Dan, how are the, 00:06:07.430 --> 00:06:09.430 when you get to play a set, now sometimes you're 00:06:09.430 --> 00:06:11.769 playing, it's just you and the acoustic guitar. 00:06:12.110 --> 00:06:15.269 and sometimes you got some guys behind you. Are 00:06:15.269 --> 00:06:18.470 you still dusting off some of the old ones, like 00:06:18.470 --> 00:06:20.129 running out of radio when you get to play with 00:06:20.129 --> 00:06:24.569 a full band? How are those sets drawn up? It 00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:27.290 kind of depends on the show, and that's a callback 00:06:27.290 --> 00:06:29.209 for sure, running out of radio. It depends on 00:06:29.209 --> 00:06:33.509 the show, depends on how many originals, because 00:06:33.509 --> 00:06:36.629 sometimes it leans more playing covers versus 00:06:36.629 --> 00:06:38.389 original, but obviously we're talking about more 00:06:38.389 --> 00:06:40.889 original shows. It really kind of just depends 00:06:40.889 --> 00:06:42.790 on the show. I'm trying to lean more into the 00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:45.790 newer stuff for sure, just because that's the 00:06:45.790 --> 00:06:47.889 stuff I'm trying to promote and put, you know, 00:06:48.029 --> 00:06:50.829 currently putting out and is fresher. And frankly, 00:06:50.910 --> 00:06:53.629 I think it's, you know, better. I like the stuff 00:06:53.629 --> 00:06:56.189 that I put out when I first moved to town. But, 00:06:56.209 --> 00:06:57.870 you know, I would hope the stuff that I'm putting 00:06:57.870 --> 00:07:00.310 out after being in town six years is better than 00:07:00.310 --> 00:07:02.189 the stuff when I first moved here. Otherwise, 00:07:02.189 --> 00:07:04.449 that's not a progression you want to be on the 00:07:04.449 --> 00:07:07.730 other way around. So, yeah, I definitely lean 00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:10.480 more towards new stuff. And but but every now 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.740 and then I'll throw in especially if I'm like 00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:14.439 if it's a lot of originals if it's like like 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.899 I'm playing a show this coming week actually 00:07:17.899 --> 00:07:20.079 out of town a full band show out in Norfolk, 00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:23.019 Virginia. I'm playing a long a long show there. 00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:25.720 So that one I'm definitely doing some older originals 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.680 because I just have a lot of set time to fill. 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:31.120 So that and that's fun. It's fun to be able to 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.759 get to break them out because kind of putting 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.319 them next to the new ones and just kind of. It's 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.779 kind of like going back in time for three minutes 00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:40.279 and like, oh, I remember this song and I'm here 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.079 now. Wow. So yeah. Yeah. I could see where some 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.839 of the older songs, like you said, you've moved, 00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:51.040 moved along as far as production and you probably 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.740 hear certain things that you did in the studio. 00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:54.079 You're like, I would have done that a little 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.720 differently now, but when you get to play it 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.759 live, you can put your current twist and experience 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.540 on it. The growth. Exactly. A hundred percent. 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.410 Yeah. I mean, John Mayer said this I don't even 00:08:06.410 --> 00:08:08.810 know if I said this in our first podcast. I probably 00:08:08.810 --> 00:08:10.550 have said it in every interview I've ever done, 00:08:10.629 --> 00:08:12.490 just because I love it so much. But he talks 00:08:12.490 --> 00:08:14.889 about how songs are like time capsules, and they're 00:08:14.889 --> 00:08:17.870 capturing a moment in time. Because he's been 00:08:17.870 --> 00:08:19.329 asked about like, oh, does he ever still play 00:08:19.329 --> 00:08:20.990 like Body as a Wonderland or any of those ones? 00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:22.750 He still liked those songs. It's like, well, 00:08:22.750 --> 00:08:25.089 he's like 20 years plus older than he was when 00:08:25.089 --> 00:08:26.889 he wrote them. He's in a different stage of life. 00:08:26.930 --> 00:08:29.209 And he's like, you know, I might not relate to 00:08:29.209 --> 00:08:31.889 those songs now, but there was a time that was 00:08:31.889 --> 00:08:35.059 me. So it's still valid for me to play it. And 00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:37.480 it takes me back to that moment. So I feel the 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.980 same about my song. I think any songwriter, artist, 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.980 anyone who creates will tell you whatever thing 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:46.460 that they're creating, it's capturing that moment 00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:48.960 in time as much as anything else in their life 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.759 relative to them. So whether it's seeing an old 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.080 painting or listening back to an old song you 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.100 wrote, it's going to take you back to the circumstances 00:08:57.100 --> 00:09:01.139 in which you created it as well, for sure. Dan, 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.600 I want to jump right into Talking Dirty here. 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.899 I want, I was thinking about this today. I've 00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:08.700 been listening to the song a lot. The word play 00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:11.700 has always been characteristic of your writing 00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:15.559 style. And beyond that, Dan, I also like how 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.720 you kind of pair up phrases and you don't see 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.039 this in everybody's songwriting. Like you'll 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.879 talk about rather kick it back 30 rack instead 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.419 room for two, me and you messing up a short bed, 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.100 getting our hands a little less than clean. Actually, 00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:32.899 that wasn't the one I'm looking here at the lyrics. 00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:35.649 Yeah, sinking in some fresh mud stripping down 00:09:35.649 --> 00:09:37.909 cleaning up out in the creek and the way that 00:09:37.909 --> 00:09:40.789 rolls out like that That's all Dan Harrison when 00:09:40.789 --> 00:09:42.710 people hear this It's not gonna remind them of 00:09:42.710 --> 00:09:44.929 somebody else because those and I know you got 00:09:44.929 --> 00:09:47.429 some writing partners as well but it's like characteristic 00:09:47.429 --> 00:09:50.889 of your sound the wordplay and I think and we 00:09:50.889 --> 00:09:54.789 went south the 09 Jeep reference Saved up some 00:09:54.789 --> 00:09:56.750 green like you just no one else is gonna write 00:09:56.750 --> 00:10:01.289 that that's your line But I appreciate I appreciate 00:10:01.289 --> 00:10:02.889 that. I definitely obviously have to give credit 00:10:02.889 --> 00:10:05.769 to co -writers. I think, I mean, they've certainly 00:10:05.769 --> 00:10:08.809 helped me develop that sensibility that I have. 00:10:09.090 --> 00:10:12.049 There was a time when I wasn't coming up with 00:10:12.049 --> 00:10:13.850 those kinds of lines, but after having it rubbed 00:10:13.850 --> 00:10:17.230 off on me for so long, that's definitely, that's 00:10:17.230 --> 00:10:18.990 the thing, the kind of things that I gravitate 00:10:18.990 --> 00:10:21.250 to. I just say hooks, like, because there's like 00:10:21.250 --> 00:10:23.409 the main hook of the song, like the title, there's 00:10:23.409 --> 00:10:26.549 guitar hooks, there's even hooks within lines, 00:10:26.769 --> 00:10:30.240 like any kind of like... inner rhyme or alliteration, 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.240 stuff that just makes the line pop a little bit 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.960 more and more memorable, like those ones you 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.820 just referenced in those two songs. So I really 00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:41.279 appreciate that. And that's certainly. So this 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.259 is another I forget who said this, but I was 00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:45.799 seeing a show, another songwriter said something 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.860 like this or maybe it was a publisher and a publisher. 00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:49.360 I don't I don't know. It all blurs together, 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.799 but something about songwriting. This is this 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.639 is what I have come to. This is what I aspire 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.460 for my songwriting to be in my songs in general. 00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:59.659 They talk about how great songwriting is you 00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:01.279 come from the melody and you stay for the lyric. 00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:05.500 So the melody and the music captures your attention. 00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.639 And it's great, no doubt. And it has to be great 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:10.600 because we're talking about music. So we want 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:15.259 the music to be there. But the lyric having being 00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:17.740 really crafted is important to me. Not overdone, 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.360 hopefully, or overwritten, but really well crafted 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.039 and perfectly fit for the song and the sentiment 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.139 that you're trying to express. then it can have 00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:27.419 layers and it's a listening experience. So people, 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:28.820 it captures people's attention like, oh, this 00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:30.340 song is cool. And then they start actually listening 00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:32.220 to the words like, oh, wait a minute, there's 00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:33.799 something, there's more going on here. Like I 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.220 need to listen to this again. Like I don't want, 00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:39.100 I don't want songs to be not just one hit wonders. 00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:40.700 I want to be one and done. I want to, I want 00:11:40.700 --> 00:11:42.779 people to re -listen. Like I, my favorite, I 00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:44.940 still, I still listen back to my favorite records 00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:47.940 all the time, like just uncovering pieces. And 00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:49.240 obviously, cause they also bring me back there, 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.299 their comfort, like they bring me back to certain 00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:54.879 things, but they were crafted and so well done. 00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:57.519 It's like figuring out all the nuances, lyrically, 00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:00.759 production -wise. So I really try as much as 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.120 I can, sometimes to the annoyance of my collaborators, 00:12:04.179 --> 00:12:05.740 because I'm just like, no, this line's not right 00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:07.899 yet. Like, they're all just trying to be done 00:12:07.899 --> 00:12:10.019 and go home. They're like, no, we're close. And 00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:14.259 so I can sometimes maybe be a little bit too 00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:16.360 much. And I have to learn when to pull back and 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.000 like, hey, just let say the thing. You don't 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.519 have to overthink it. But I definitely try. say 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.659 it as freshly and in a unique way as possible, 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:27.340 because I think that's ultimately what distinguishes 00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:30.500 an artist beyond their actual singing voice is 00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:32.740 their lyrical phrasing and flow and how they 00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:36.039 say things. Because I mean, you know the way 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:37.480 Springsteen is going to say something, the way 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.980 Dylan is going to say something, the way even 00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:41.139 in the country music, like the way Morgan Wall 00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:43.139 would say something versus Hardy versus Eric 00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:47.639 Church. I know Eric Church is phrasing just as 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.740 well, if not better than his lyrical style. hear 00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.919 a song like oh that's such an Eric Church line 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:55.720 even if he didn't write it or not but like it's 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.200 the kind of thing he would have written or then 00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:58.659 I find out that he actually did and someone else 00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:02.200 cut it but his phrasing is so unique and and 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.019 really inimitable and and that's another piece 00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:07.019 of it that I think is really important so you 00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:09.200 kind of hit it on the head there yeah real quick 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.740 talking about Eric Church and we'll touch on 00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:15.460 the the single that preceded this one I go to 00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:18.840 church loved that one you know some people fell 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.429 in love with Eric Church then there's been this 00:13:21.429 --> 00:13:24.350 huge wave of new artists and kind of a new era 00:13:24.350 --> 00:13:27.990 and Man, you'd go check back into some of those 00:13:27.990 --> 00:13:30.230 albums and some of those singles that really 00:13:30.230 --> 00:13:32.570 lit your world on fire They're still gonna do 00:13:32.570 --> 00:13:34.470 it. I was listening to Eric Church last night 00:13:34.470 --> 00:13:38.529 and Gosh, I mean just taking that song Springsteen. 00:13:38.710 --> 00:13:41.889 I don't know that there's a better Crafted song 00:13:41.889 --> 00:13:44.970 in the genre. It's in the top three. I think 00:13:44.970 --> 00:13:49.710 since it was released. I mean, it's yeah, I agree 00:13:50.149 --> 00:13:52.490 I've talked about this to many people and I might 00:13:52.490 --> 00:13:54.230 have even have mentioned it on my social media, 00:13:54.289 --> 00:13:56.429 on Instagram or something, but if I had to pinpoint 00:13:56.429 --> 00:14:00.490 a song that really was the life -changing song 00:14:00.490 --> 00:14:03.389 for me, it was that song because it was the song 00:14:03.389 --> 00:14:05.110 that bridged the gap for me with the music I 00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:07.950 grew up with, you know, classic rock and all 00:14:07.950 --> 00:14:11.070 these other things with country music. And that 00:14:11.070 --> 00:14:14.470 sort of nexus point showed me, hey, okay, if 00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:16.909 I'm going to do music someday, like, I got to 00:14:16.909 --> 00:14:18.850 go where this guy is and do it and do what he 00:14:18.850 --> 00:14:21.139 does because that it just really hit me like 00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:23.019 obvious I hadn't had that exact experience that 00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:25.700 he had but it just hit that emotion and obviously 00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:29.019 just the references it all just like connected 00:14:29.019 --> 00:14:31.279 the dots for me and then it's you know like you 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.799 said with my song from the prior single sort 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:36.320 of a full circle moment of me then doing that 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:39.200 same kind of referential song about him that 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:40.799 he did about spring scene although it's it's 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.179 more concretely about him than uh springsteen 00:14:44.179 --> 00:14:47.379 lyrically was like how the songs are tied in 00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:50.879 with the memories of that relationship. So slightly 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.899 different, but similar concept of using the references. 00:14:54.539 --> 00:14:57.759 So it really, yeah. No, I mean, I couldn't agree 00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.919 with you more either. I mean, I could go on about 00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:03.360 Eric's catalog. I mean, so many songs. That wasn't 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.139 the first of his that I heard, but that was the 00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:09.539 one that really like blew the doors open for 00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:12.580 me. it's when I started to understand what songwriting 00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:14.840 was because you know I grew up singing and playing 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.919 guitar but we start off imitating before we start 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.039 before we start creating and so that was when 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.559 the doors started or the light started to flicker 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:27.039 on like okay this is this is something I need 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.399 to follow where this is going absolutely Dan 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.039 I think you do a great job and this latest single 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:39.399 is no exception of bringing in memorable guitar 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.820 solos. None of the solos in your songs feel like 00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:44.960 throw away or just filler. It's like, well, it's 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.220 just a good place to just drop one in. It's like, 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.899 well, that was pretty cool. Like they all kind 00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:52.899 of have that quality. I think you work with, 00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:56.460 in my notes here, Alan Schoenfeld, Sol Littlefield. 00:15:56.940 --> 00:15:59.059 When you guys get to that part where you're trying 00:15:59.059 --> 00:16:02.940 to craft that solo for that song, is that some 00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:05.820 pretty tense moments in the studio where you're... 00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.399 Hey, let's hammer that out again. Let's do another 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.700 take No, I mean, it's Adam is Adam and Saul are 00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:14.539 just absolute professionals. I mean they they 00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:17.860 play on every hit record of the last like 20 00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:20.320 years they've been a part of at least Adam has 00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:22.259 assaults a little bit younger, but they saw played 00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:24.259 on all of Luke combs and stuff played he's a 00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:26.519 guitar and beer never broke my heart and working 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.860 with those guys really was an incredible experience 00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:31.110 because You know, I've always been a guitar player 00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:33.730 and I played all the guitars on my earliest records. 00:16:33.830 --> 00:16:35.889 And I play guitar on a lot of these songs too, 00:16:35.889 --> 00:16:37.970 but it was a new experience kind of going to 00:16:37.970 --> 00:16:40.009 the studio with a band and actually tracking, 00:16:40.149 --> 00:16:41.389 because that's what we did for a lot of these 00:16:41.389 --> 00:16:43.210 songs. We kind of track them together. Since 00:16:43.210 --> 00:16:44.909 I'd already had them written, I had these demos 00:16:44.909 --> 00:16:48.529 done that I made. And that was part of the project 00:16:48.529 --> 00:16:50.629 too, was to try and help me develop and find 00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:53.549 my own sound. I built out these demos myself 00:16:53.549 --> 00:16:56.250 with my producer's help, but really figured out 00:16:56.250 --> 00:16:58.389 like what kind of... direction I wanted to go 00:16:58.389 --> 00:17:00.009 sonically, where I wanted certain parts, the 00:17:00.009 --> 00:17:02.250 kinds of parts I wanted. And to be honest, a 00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:07.730 lot of the records are pretty close, at least 00:17:07.730 --> 00:17:10.470 arrangement -wise, to what the demos were. Any 00:17:10.470 --> 00:17:13.369 differences are what those guys came in and their 00:17:13.369 --> 00:17:16.410 professional level brought up another 5 -10 % 00:17:16.410 --> 00:17:19.029 and made it the difference between a good -sounding 00:17:19.029 --> 00:17:22.150 demo versus a damn good, like a hit record. Those 00:17:22.150 --> 00:17:24.890 guys, they just are pros. There's no issue, no 00:17:24.890 --> 00:17:28.210 tension. In Talking Dirty specifically, the only 00:17:28.210 --> 00:17:31.470 thing I knew that I wanted was a talk box. If 00:17:31.470 --> 00:17:32.869 you know what a talk box is, like that's the 00:17:32.869 --> 00:17:34.690 Peter Frampton, Do You Feel Like We Do, and all 00:17:34.690 --> 00:17:36.269 that stuff. Just because of the song, I thought 00:17:36.269 --> 00:17:39.410 it was a call to, like a cool little reference 00:17:39.410 --> 00:17:41.049 to the fact the song's called Talking Dirty, 00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:43.829 that the solo used a talk box. And that's like, 00:17:43.869 --> 00:17:45.490 anytime you hear that, like kind of what, like 00:17:45.490 --> 00:17:47.569 vocally kind of sound in the song, like there's 00:17:47.569 --> 00:17:49.210 licks throughout the song that happen too, like 00:17:49.210 --> 00:17:51.950 a wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. I just let Adam 00:17:51.950 --> 00:17:55.549 go nuts because he like had the thing he got 00:17:55.549 --> 00:17:57.430 it and he was just doing it and I didn't even 00:17:57.430 --> 00:17:59.410 need to because a lot of these songs I went in 00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:01.869 later like they track the like meat and potatoes 00:18:01.869 --> 00:18:03.769 the rhythm guitars I also got a shout out Devin 00:18:03.769 --> 00:18:06.670 Malone too because he did all the acoustic and 00:18:06.670 --> 00:18:08.430 banjo and all that stuff and he's an excellent 00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:10.470 player all around electric and everything too 00:18:10.470 --> 00:18:12.990 but he's really amazing at the acoustic and he's 00:18:12.990 --> 00:18:14.609 played on all of Sam Hunt's records and everything 00:18:14.609 --> 00:18:16.670 so it was really cool honestly to work with all 00:18:16.670 --> 00:18:18.809 these guys these are the guys that played on 00:18:18.809 --> 00:18:20.069 the stuff that made me want to move to town in 00:18:20.069 --> 00:18:22.170 the first place so it was a really really cool 00:18:22.170 --> 00:18:25.650 full circle moment For that, but yeah, I mean, 00:18:26.309 --> 00:18:27.990 I'm used to playing guitar on all my records 00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:30.829 and to let kind of let these guys come in and 00:18:30.829 --> 00:18:32.849 let the pros do their work. It really forced 00:18:32.849 --> 00:18:35.690 me to kick it up a notch. It's like, Hey, like, 00:18:35.730 --> 00:18:37.849 do I really need to play on this song? Like I'm 00:18:37.849 --> 00:18:39.650 going to play it live all the time. Like, and 00:18:39.650 --> 00:18:41.829 I'll learn the part. It's not a mat. Like Keith 00:18:41.829 --> 00:18:44.349 Urban doesn't play on every play guitar in every 00:18:44.349 --> 00:18:46.710 single song that he. he might like do like a 00:18:46.710 --> 00:18:48.569 signature lick or a solo but he's not like doing 00:18:48.569 --> 00:18:50.990 every single rhythm part and every like he first 00:18:50.990 --> 00:18:52.470 of all he doesn't have time he's on the road 00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:55.670 all the time like he's Keith but I learned from 00:18:55.670 --> 00:18:57.849 that experience it's like hey these guys do it 00:18:57.849 --> 00:18:59.930 every day let them elevate the song and then 00:18:59.930 --> 00:19:02.329 I can put my flavor in it where I need it to 00:19:02.329 --> 00:19:05.029 and this song in particular I think I might have 00:19:05.029 --> 00:19:08.150 played like a band guitar part in the in the 00:19:08.150 --> 00:19:09.849 verse of the pre -chorus but I didn't actually 00:19:09.849 --> 00:19:12.369 I don't think I actually played any guitar on 00:19:12.369 --> 00:19:16.470 this track but I will say the demo was very much 00:19:16.470 --> 00:19:19.470 informed with what they did. And there were some 00:19:19.470 --> 00:19:22.230 other songs that are coming out soon, which you 00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:24.589 don't even know about yet, where we even took, 00:19:25.150 --> 00:19:27.369 because the parts were just right from the demo 00:19:27.369 --> 00:19:29.529 and we were in the same key in the same tempo, 00:19:30.069 --> 00:19:31.690 that we literally just took the track that I 00:19:31.690 --> 00:19:34.250 did from the demo and put it in the final record 00:19:34.250 --> 00:19:36.470 because it just was right. It was interesting. 00:19:36.789 --> 00:19:40.009 Every track was a different experience. We completely 00:19:40.009 --> 00:19:41.869 redid everything and it was still... informed 00:19:41.869 --> 00:19:43.769 by the demo but some I didn't play on at all 00:19:43.769 --> 00:19:46.190 some I played a lot of stuff on still like we 00:19:46.190 --> 00:19:48.769 went back and overdubbed later and others it 00:19:48.769 --> 00:19:51.809 was kind of a mix so long -winded answer as mine 00:19:51.809 --> 00:19:53.809 tend to be but yeah I don't there was no issue 00:19:53.809 --> 00:19:55.430 with those guys because they're pros and I'd 00:19:55.430 --> 00:19:58.730 also put in a lot of work beforehand putting 00:19:58.730 --> 00:20:00.910 together these demos a lot of times in the studio 00:20:00.910 --> 00:20:03.130 you know artists or the songs come in just as 00:20:03.130 --> 00:20:04.730 work tapes like just an acoustic guitar and a 00:20:04.730 --> 00:20:07.400 voice so it's really up to them like these band 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.059 guys are like kind of almost producing at the 00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:12.119 same time too, along with the producer and engineer, 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.980 like coming up with parts, trying to come up 00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:16.839 with the vibe. And that's hard. That's obviously 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:18.480 harder and takes a lot more legwork. So I tried 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.099 to make it as easy for them as possible and just 00:20:20.099 --> 00:20:22.619 like, Hey, here are fully built demos for all 00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:24.960 of them. Like just take them and elevate them. 00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:27.740 And that's what they did. I mean, just, it sounds 00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:30.880 fantastic. It sounds like that. You do have some 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.900 pros behind you, but again, this is, this is 00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:39.750 the brainchild of Dan Harrison. If you go back 00:20:39.750 --> 00:20:44.650 to Hangover Here and that... I'm probably not 00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:47.589 singing it just right, but is that something 00:20:47.589 --> 00:20:50.730 that came to you one day and you're like, do 00:20:50.730 --> 00:20:53.349 you kind of get these melodies in your head and 00:20:53.349 --> 00:20:56.190 then pair them with some lyrics you've already 00:20:56.190 --> 00:20:57.990 been writing? Or how does it usually happen? 00:20:58.730 --> 00:21:00.549 It's happened always I remember specifically 00:21:00.549 --> 00:21:03.029 with the hangover here if that was a riff that 00:21:03.029 --> 00:21:06.390 I made on the demo I remember that and they they 00:21:06.390 --> 00:21:08.829 retracted themselves because they when they were 00:21:08.829 --> 00:21:12.809 in the studio, but I remember that riff It all 00:21:12.809 --> 00:21:14.950 depends. I mean hangover here We'd had written 00:21:14.950 --> 00:21:18.069 for a long time and we we did like actually two 00:21:18.069 --> 00:21:20.269 different demos because the first one we did 00:21:20.269 --> 00:21:22.690 just like wasn't Wasn't right and it was when 00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:24.569 me and my my friend Elise we were just like so 00:21:24.569 --> 00:21:26.950 much newer to town and newer to the recording 00:21:26.950 --> 00:21:29.089 process so we just it wasn't right. So when I 00:21:29.089 --> 00:21:30.690 was doing it, when I knew I wanted to cut it 00:21:30.690 --> 00:21:33.549 for this project, I redid my own version of it. 00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:36.990 And that riff came along just in that process. 00:21:37.049 --> 00:21:39.470 But the song had already existed for a long time. 00:21:40.049 --> 00:21:41.869 So sometimes it can just come along later. I 00:21:41.869 --> 00:21:44.450 could literally be in the shower. A lot of times 00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:47.289 I feel like when I'm doing things where, or like 00:21:47.289 --> 00:21:49.609 when my brain has time to wander, like if I'm 00:21:49.609 --> 00:21:52.230 half asleep or if I'm driving or if I'm on an 00:21:52.230 --> 00:21:54.930 airplane, any time that my brain isn't busy with 00:21:54.930 --> 00:21:56.829 an immediate task at hand, that's sort of when 00:21:56.829 --> 00:21:59.329 things like that you know, just come into my 00:21:59.329 --> 00:22:03.589 head. But a lot of what I do is pairing melodies 00:22:03.589 --> 00:22:07.170 or vibes or chord progressions or whatever with 00:22:07.170 --> 00:22:10.769 another lyric or title idea that I had separately. 00:22:10.930 --> 00:22:13.609 It's just like playing puzzle pieces or Tetris, 00:22:13.650 --> 00:22:15.569 like kind of just matching them together. Sometimes 00:22:15.569 --> 00:22:18.950 though, it all comes at once. Like there's a 00:22:18.950 --> 00:22:21.069 song I have coming out, the last song I'm putting 00:22:21.069 --> 00:22:24.369 out this year. I very much remember at least 00:22:24.369 --> 00:22:27.210 like the chorus melody in the hook concept. That 00:22:27.210 --> 00:22:29.630 all came at once like one night like just the 00:22:29.630 --> 00:22:34.150 met lead the melody was so tied to how that that 00:22:34.150 --> 00:22:36.329 they were just tied together like the way I heard 00:22:36.329 --> 00:22:37.890 when I first thought of that hook it just was 00:22:37.890 --> 00:22:41.950 like Like immediately it's so sometimes there's 00:22:41.950 --> 00:22:44.569 no there's no Hard and fast rule. It's happened 00:22:44.569 --> 00:22:46.390 all kinds of ways for me and I'm sure any any 00:22:46.390 --> 00:22:50.289 creative would say the same Dan I love during 00:22:50.289 --> 00:22:52.609 the time a few months ago when hangover here 00:22:52.609 --> 00:22:55.750 was the new single and some of the social media 00:22:55.750 --> 00:22:58.509 posts and particularly, I mean, I still laugh 00:22:58.509 --> 00:23:00.750 about this, Dan, the, the one you did where it's 00:23:00.750 --> 00:23:03.569 like, okay, hangover at 21 and you just spring 00:23:03.569 --> 00:23:06.369 right up, you grab a Gatorade and off you go, 00:23:06.369 --> 00:23:10.089 hangover at 31. And folks, if you, if you miss 00:23:10.089 --> 00:23:12.990 this one, go back and watch it. Dan's acting 00:23:12.990 --> 00:23:16.390 chops are pretty solid there with the hand shaking, 00:23:16.390 --> 00:23:19.289 trying to pour the glass of water. I mean, we've 00:23:19.289 --> 00:23:21.490 all been there and my gosh, you know, if you 00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:24.809 make it to 41, when you make it, that sounded 00:23:24.809 --> 00:23:28.369 bad, but it doesn't get any easier. So I thought 00:23:28.369 --> 00:23:30.849 that was hilarious, Dan, and the way that you 00:23:30.849 --> 00:23:35.450 guys crafted the video, because again, there's 00:23:35.450 --> 00:23:39.170 a lot of songs that address the party, the after 00:23:39.170 --> 00:23:42.390 party, but what about the next, what about 7 00:23:42.390 --> 00:23:45.170 .45 the next morning, you're running late for 00:23:45.170 --> 00:23:47.130 work or you're not running late for work, but 00:23:47.130 --> 00:23:50.509 you just realize, oh my gosh, what was that all 00:23:50.509 --> 00:23:53.049 about last night? And I'm paying for it big time. 00:23:53.739 --> 00:23:59.039 Oh yeah, absolutely. I appreciate that. That 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:01.559 was one of my favorite posts from that video. 00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:04.720 That was just, I knew when I was putting that 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.220 thought, sometimes it's hard to figure out, it's 00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:10.079 hard to plan content for certain songs. I don't 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.339 really know what to do here, but that song really 00:24:12.339 --> 00:24:14.359 lent itself to just like, oh, there's so many 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:16.920 ideas we can do around drinking and hangovers 00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.829 and that's always fun when. And I try and have 00:24:19.829 --> 00:24:22.089 songs like that too that have like a whole kind 00:24:22.089 --> 00:24:25.529 of world or a universe in them that like we can 00:24:25.529 --> 00:24:28.509 extrapolate and exploit in other forms like that. 00:24:29.130 --> 00:24:31.029 So yeah, that was a lot of fun. I go to church 00:24:31.029 --> 00:24:32.390 with someone too. There's just so much to work 00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:33.890 with because it's obviously all song references. 00:24:34.269 --> 00:24:36.809 So different, different thing obviously, but 00:24:36.809 --> 00:24:39.829 yeah, that was funny. And it's true. I mean, 00:24:40.630 --> 00:24:43.710 I feel like I don't drink that much anymore anyway, 00:24:43.849 --> 00:24:46.480 just cause like. I don't know. I mean, I will 00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.759 certainly if someone is giving me a drink I will 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.259 rarely turn it down. But man, I just can't the 00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:56.619 hangovers they last like a day plus now I can't 00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:59.000 I Literally, I mean you I'm sure you remember 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:00.920 too. It was like two hours in the Gatorade and 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:05.599 I'm good. Oh Yeah, there's not Yeah, and then 00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:07.220 halfway, you know through the next day, you'd 00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:10.019 have you've gotten through If it's your workday 00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:12.619 or whatever and you're 22 or 24 years old and 00:25:12.619 --> 00:25:14.930 you're already thinking about that night You're 00:25:14.930 --> 00:25:18.869 ready to go again. Um, it's 31 you need another 00:25:18.869 --> 00:25:24.170 day Yeah, it makes me sick just thinking about 00:25:24.170 --> 00:25:28.809 being like that back then So but uh different 00:25:28.809 --> 00:25:32.049 yeah different era for sure what about just um 00:25:32.049 --> 00:25:35.349 on that note do you feel like that there's Is 00:25:35.349 --> 00:25:37.710 there much pressure out there living in nashville? 00:25:37.890 --> 00:25:40.170 maybe not just the circles that you run in but 00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:42.680 the places and events that you commit to and 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:44.980 then kind of afterwards is it is there pressure 00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:49.740 to to hang out and And drink or do people mostly 00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:53.380 respect if you're you're not drinking Oh, I mean, 00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:55.119 there's definitely I don't know pressure is not 00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.259 the right word but it's just definitely something 00:25:57.259 --> 00:26:00.740 you're confronted with all the time like Press 00:26:00.740 --> 00:26:02.519 not pressure to drink. There's definitely like 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.500 You feel I think at least I feel it, you know 00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:08.869 a pressure to like be places like being a part 00:26:08.869 --> 00:26:10.890 of the scene, showing up, supporting people, 00:26:11.029 --> 00:26:12.430 having to support yourself, whether or not you're 00:26:12.430 --> 00:26:15.829 playing, keeping running into people, because 00:26:15.829 --> 00:26:17.950 that's how you get on people's radar, whether 00:26:17.950 --> 00:26:19.849 it's through they keep seeing you play or you 00:26:19.849 --> 00:26:21.849 keep running into them at the same place. So 00:26:21.849 --> 00:26:26.630 absolutely, there's definitely that sort of dynamic. 00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:29.349 And within that, drinking is obviously a big 00:26:29.349 --> 00:26:31.089 part of the culture of the town. And obviously, 00:26:32.349 --> 00:26:35.049 we lionize it in country music. Drinking is such 00:26:35.049 --> 00:26:37.750 a... Lauded thing but we obviously we you know, 00:26:37.930 --> 00:26:39.329 there's plenty of songs that talk about addiction 00:26:39.329 --> 00:26:41.289 as well because it is and I have plenty of friends 00:26:41.289 --> 00:26:43.890 here that you know, I've moved to town with me 00:26:43.890 --> 00:26:46.609 around the same time and the drip, you know the 00:26:46.609 --> 00:26:48.950 drinking they let the drinking kind of get the 00:26:48.950 --> 00:26:51.309 better of them like Everyone's out here to have 00:26:51.309 --> 00:26:53.210 a good time and even when we're quote working 00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:55.789 and we can all have fun But it's kind of like 00:26:55.789 --> 00:26:57.430 they don't really tell you like you got to figure 00:26:57.430 --> 00:26:59.829 out your own limits and like what works for you 00:26:59.829 --> 00:27:01.869 and like and that and that's true in terms of 00:27:01.869 --> 00:27:04.410 drinking and just and hanging out like There 00:27:04.410 --> 00:27:06.329 might be, usually there's like three or four 00:27:06.329 --> 00:27:08.069 events going on almost every night in Nashville. 00:27:08.309 --> 00:27:10.650 Like I need to like, oh, I should show face at 00:27:10.650 --> 00:27:13.049 one of them. And there are some nights where 00:27:13.049 --> 00:27:15.089 I try and hit all of them and for, you know, 00:27:15.269 --> 00:27:18.230 30 minutes to 45 minutes each. And there's some 00:27:18.230 --> 00:27:19.470 nights I only hit one or two. And then there's 00:27:19.470 --> 00:27:21.210 some nights where I'm like, man, there's just 00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:23.730 so much going on and I have so much on my plate. 00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:27.269 And I'm just so mentally exhausted that I wouldn't 00:27:27.269 --> 00:27:30.410 be my best if I'm there. and then that's not 00:27:30.410 --> 00:27:32.349 serving you well. If you're not able to take 00:27:32.349 --> 00:27:34.049 advantage of the situation there and be present, 00:27:34.470 --> 00:27:36.710 that's something that we all struggle with. I've 00:27:36.710 --> 00:27:40.009 struggled with immensely. So in those kind of 00:27:40.009 --> 00:27:41.609 moments, I try and just take a step back, sort 00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:42.650 of what we were talking about before we started 00:27:42.650 --> 00:27:44.670 the podcast, like finding, trying to find that 00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:47.210 balance, you know, because it's so easy to just 00:27:47.210 --> 00:27:49.650 be go, go, go. I always got, I have a million 00:27:49.650 --> 00:27:52.289 recording things I'm working on for myself and 00:27:52.289 --> 00:27:54.619 for other people. And then at that same time 00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:56.839 trying to show up to the places to meet the right 00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:58.420 people and be in the right spot at the right 00:27:58.420 --> 00:28:01.140 time and to create opportunities. And so it's 00:28:01.140 --> 00:28:03.579 a never ending kind of balance and struggle. 00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:06.420 And that's, you know, part of it is some people 00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:09.440 relish that and it can be fun, but it can also 00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:13.440 be overwhelming. So definitely there is a pressure, 00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:15.420 whether it's external or internal, some mixture 00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:19.000 of both, certainly to be present and hang out. 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:21.519 and there's just alcohol is there. I mean, there's 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.920 plenty of people that don't drink anymore. And 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.119 that I know, like I said, that, you know, went 00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:28.200 to a bad place with it and kind of came back. 00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:31.240 So I don't think anyone's really pressuring anybody. 00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:33.400 It's just like, you're just surrounded by it. 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.019 You have to have your own strength of will. Well 00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:39.420 said. Me personally, sometimes I'm fine drinking 00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:42.160 the water if I don't want to drink, but club 00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:44.019 soda with lime. I'll just throw that out there. 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.759 It looks like you're enjoying the beverage. If 00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:48.539 you're flashing the grin and you're hanging out, 00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:51.279 it's 11 o 'clock and you're in a bar. People 00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.920 think that's a gin and tonic. I'll have a Coke 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.240 or a ginger ale. They don't know. They probably 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:00.579 think it's Jack. Who cares? Right. You know? 00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:03.079 Yeah. And honestly, I still get hungover anyway, 00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:04.839 even if I don't drink. If I'm out late enough 00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:08.200 and at those bars and we're like, I still feel 00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.759 terrible the next day. Yeah. You know, it's it's 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.559 alcohol is not going to make any better for sure. 00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:19.299 But. Yeah, no, it's and you gotta How about some 00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:21.759 of the things that you have? Where you've taken 00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:25.400 the music like Key West Songwriters Festival 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:29.920 Back in May. How was that experience? Oh It was 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.819 a blast it always is and that definitely kind 00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:34.000 of what you're What we were just talking about 00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.319 with you know in terms of being there and then 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.880 that there's more That that one's harder to resist 00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:40.420 in terms of drinking but that's just because 00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:42.380 you know, we're all we're all down there at the 00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:46.799 beach like That's a bit of a different situation. 00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:49.359 That's spring break for Nashville. But it was 00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.299 awesome. It's always a great time. That was probably 00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:55.259 my fourth time going since I moved here. And 00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:58.900 it's a great time. It's always a place that I 00:29:58.900 --> 00:30:01.240 make a lot of new friends that I might have already 00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.539 known in town, but I didn't really spend any 00:30:03.539 --> 00:30:05.519 time with. But you kind of get to know people 00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:09.829 in a different setting. It's well more than worth 00:30:09.829 --> 00:30:11.609 the price of how expensive it is to go and stay 00:30:11.609 --> 00:30:15.069 there in Key West for a week, right? And and 00:30:15.069 --> 00:30:17.269 I always kind of treat it as like a work vacation 00:30:17.269 --> 00:30:21.309 so to speak, but it's a lot of fun and But definitely 00:30:21.309 --> 00:30:23.309 have to pace yourself just like within this town 00:30:23.309 --> 00:30:25.269 and industry in general you just it's a really 00:30:25.269 --> 00:30:29.390 good microcosmic microcosm and metaphor for Nashville 00:30:29.390 --> 00:30:32.440 in general, you know five days of Non -stop drinking 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:35.440 and partying and playing shows like you you you'll 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:37.240 kill yourself real quickly if you're not careful 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:39.019 And I've I've had those years. I learned it the 00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:42.500 hard way. So I've gotten a lot better at I'm 00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:45.240 knowing how to pace myself at least there. So 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.819 Yeah, but it was a great time. It always is just 00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:51.299 recently this this a few weeks ago the Carolina 00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:54.220 Country Music Fest Myrtle Beach, South Carolina 00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:56.619 Yeah. Yeah, I played a couple smaller stages 00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:59.309 there. That was a lot of fun and I went to Myrtle 00:30:59.309 --> 00:31:02.269 Beach in college a number of times on, you know, 00:31:02.450 --> 00:31:05.549 spring break and post exams trips. And so it 00:31:05.549 --> 00:31:07.809 was funny to be back there. That was just a quick 00:31:07.809 --> 00:31:09.890 same day in and out kind of thing. I didn't really 00:31:09.890 --> 00:31:11.309 get to enjoy the festival as much as I wanted 00:31:11.309 --> 00:31:14.170 to. Saw a few other artists there and some other 00:31:14.170 --> 00:31:16.049 friends that I know too that were playing. But 00:31:16.049 --> 00:31:18.529 it was cool. It's always nice to be, any excuse 00:31:18.529 --> 00:31:22.349 to be by the beach is okay with me. So I definitely 00:31:22.349 --> 00:31:24.630 broke out a few of the beach songs because, you 00:31:24.630 --> 00:31:27.859 know, when it went in Rome, as they say. Yeah, 00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:30.579 what do you like to what are there some? Kind 00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:33.119 of island covers of some of the Kenny Chesney 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:35.480 Jimmy Buffett variety songs that you like to 00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.640 play in certain certain locales Yeah, I mean 00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.359 definitely Jack Brown stuff like knee -deep. 00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:45.599 I mean margaritaville is always a classic I mean, 00:31:45.619 --> 00:31:48.160 I'm a big Jake big Jake Owen fan. So I like a 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.900 lot of his stuff He has a bunch of beach songs. 00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:52.880 Obviously Kenny does too beer in Mexico is a 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.640 good one I have an original that I love that 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.779 I played out a lot I haven't recorded it, but 00:31:58.779 --> 00:32:01.380 I would like to maybe someday, but I also think 00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:04.539 it very much could be a song that a guy like 00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:07.460 Kenny Chesney or Jake Owen or one of those guys 00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:09.579 could do and it would be really, really awesome 00:32:09.579 --> 00:32:11.640 if they did. It's a beach song. I have a lot 00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:14.380 of beach songs, weirdly enough, but this one 00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:15.799 is one of my favorites called To Beach Their 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.640 Own. And it's just, you know, kind of... Kind 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:21.319 of what it sounds like, you know, we all we all 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:22.880 have our beaches that we like and that's okay 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:24.740 to beach their own But it's it's it's a fun one 00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:27.200 and people people always seem to like it. So 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.759 yeah, that's it. That's a fun one Yeah, I could 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:33.940 um in some of those songs you named I mean, I 00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:35.619 love Bama Breeze. We were talking about that 00:32:35.619 --> 00:32:38.740 before we got started here Great. Yeah, I actually 00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:40.799 don't know that I've ever played that I've seen 00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:42.559 the writer who wrote one of the writers who wrote 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.140 that marker when I've seen him play it many a 00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:46.819 time here in town and He tells a story about 00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:49.359 it and it's always really cool Just like how 00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:52.059 it got to Jimmy and all that and but I don't 00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:53.900 know that I actually ever played that myself 00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:56.420 I should I should add it to the set because it's 00:32:56.420 --> 00:33:00.680 a great one Jimmy Buffett is I mean Of course 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:03.640 when he passed away there was a groundswell support 00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:06.240 and everyone posting their their thoughts and 00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:09.299 their favorite songs man I still think about 00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:12.960 Jimmy Buffett love his music and His loss. I 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:17.609 think is still felt across genres The way absolutely 00:33:17.609 --> 00:33:19.990 there's just like so many ways to carve it up 00:33:19.990 --> 00:33:23.369 the legacy the fun that he had on stage Everyone 00:33:23.369 --> 00:33:25.970 remembers that the smile he's hopping around 00:33:25.970 --> 00:33:28.410 barefoot. He's just having the time of his life 00:33:28.410 --> 00:33:31.950 There was so much more more depth to Jimmy Buffett 00:33:31.950 --> 00:33:33.970 that I think people realize I mean the guy was 00:33:33.970 --> 00:33:37.109 I want to talk about Speaking of well -spoken 00:33:37.109 --> 00:33:39.089 Dan Harrison. I don't think we covered it on 00:33:39.089 --> 00:33:42.150 the first episode That you graduated from Wake 00:33:42.150 --> 00:33:45.599 Forest, but but a double major Want to touch 00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:47.880 on that in a couple minutes here, but but yeah 00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:50.359 your thoughts on on Jimmy Buffett and what he 00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.220 meant to you You know, I can't say that I would 00:33:54.220 --> 00:33:59.160 like I grew up die like Springsteen Queen Van 00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:02.980 Halen Who else might think of like John Mayer? 00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:07.519 guys like that so I I certainly loved Jimmy and 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.099 loved his stuff, but I wasn't as Familiar with 00:34:10.099 --> 00:34:11.659 his stuff until a little bit later. It's honestly 00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:15.090 coming to Nashville My respect for him has grown 00:34:15.090 --> 00:34:17.230 immensely and I really do love a lot of his songs 00:34:17.230 --> 00:34:20.110 and he was a great songwriter as well as song 00:34:20.110 --> 00:34:23.110 picker, we like to say. He chose great songs 00:34:23.110 --> 00:34:24.909 to record whether or not he wrote them, which 00:34:24.909 --> 00:34:27.750 is a skill. I mean, all the best guys here in 00:34:27.750 --> 00:34:29.969 town, Kenny, Lee Bryce, Garth Brooks, I mean, 00:34:30.050 --> 00:34:32.050 they are all great songwriters themselves who 00:34:32.050 --> 00:34:35.230 have hits to their name, and they had to be that 00:34:35.230 --> 00:34:38.210 good to know how to pick great songs. So Jimmy, 00:34:38.429 --> 00:34:41.170 I think the more that I've come to, the more 00:34:41.170 --> 00:34:43.340 that I've listen to and learn about Jimmy. I 00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:47.519 think he really feel good music is just all that 00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:50.780 comes to mind. I think the stuff that we just 00:34:50.780 --> 00:34:53.119 think of as cliche that is kind of like that 00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:55.920 island sounding thing, that didn't exist before 00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.900 him. It's because he made it so ubiquitous and 00:34:58.900 --> 00:35:01.079 popular. And I think we take that for granted. 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:05.179 He's the perfect example of music that's just 00:35:05.179 --> 00:35:07.039 made to make people feel good and bring people 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.519 together. There's no agenda behind it. There 00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:13.380 can be a message, but it's simple messages. And 00:35:13.380 --> 00:35:17.599 it really, I think, is the purest and most honest, 00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:20.480 one of the purest and most honest artists and 00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.500 catalogs out there in that sense. I think he 00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:26.420 really, he's an artist that I, you know, I think 00:35:26.420 --> 00:35:28.059 you could say just as much as anyone really, 00:35:28.059 --> 00:35:30.760 like, left a mark on the world with their music. 00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:32.380 Because just think about it, I mean, the Margaritaville 00:35:32.380 --> 00:35:34.280 brand, everything that's an extension of Jimmy 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.000 Buffett, he was a billionaire. He built these 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.400 incredible brands. I didn't even know he had 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.119 retirement communities for Margaritaville. He 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.619 created this lifestyle. I think another good 00:35:45.619 --> 00:35:48.099 way to look about it is his fans, his die -hard 00:35:48.099 --> 00:35:50.420 fans are called Parrotheads and you have Deadheads. 00:35:50.739 --> 00:35:55.380 It's that level of dedication and fandom. It 00:35:55.380 --> 00:35:59.500 wasn't just fans of the music. It inspired a 00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:01.059 culture and a way of life. You know what I'm 00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:05.599 talking about? I can't even imagine my music 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.980 having that kind of effect and effect. I would 00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:11.760 love it to, positively, certainly. Just him being 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.639 able to figure that out is really, really incredible. 00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:18.059 So he's just, yeah, there's really few artists 00:36:18.059 --> 00:36:20.119 like him. And it was, I also didn't know that 00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.119 he came to Nashville originally and it was like 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:25.000 him having, it was him leaving Nashville and 00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.059 going to Key West and finding that that's where 00:36:28.059 --> 00:36:30.940 he found his niche. But Nashville is still always 00:36:30.940 --> 00:36:34.039 a part of his story and close to his heart. So 00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:36.420 I always thought that was cool, too. I really 00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:38.699 like your thoughts there on Jimmy. Again, if 00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:40.719 there's no Jimmy Buffett, there's probably, you 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:44.980 know, who knows where Kenny Chesney. Right. Which 00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:48.800 direction his career turns. I apologize for people 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:50.559 listening or watching. You can hear the daddy 00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:54.619 daddy in the background. Oh, I actually get that. 00:36:54.699 --> 00:36:59.300 So that's one of your fans there, Dan. Yeah, 00:36:59.300 --> 00:37:01.920 I got to mention before we before I forget.

My oldest is the alameda guy And they 00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:17.659 are latched onto the those are their jams Wow, 00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:22.880 that's that's that's special. I uh I I really 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:27.280 yeah That's that's really cool But I just wanted 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:29.969 you know what you're saying there Some of your 00:37:29.969 --> 00:37:32.969 songs also have that quality where it's I don't 00:37:32.969 --> 00:37:36.070 know if you'd call it escapism, but People feel 00:37:36.070 --> 00:37:37.889 better. I think when they listen to some of these 00:37:37.889 --> 00:37:41.789 songs I will always associate we went south with 00:37:41.789 --> 00:37:45.170 the fall the onset of fall For some reason for 00:37:45.170 --> 00:37:48.469 me football season. I know you're playing a tailgate 00:37:48.469 --> 00:37:51.769 in September back at Wake Forest I saw that on 00:37:51.769 --> 00:37:56.070 the website September 14th. Yeah I don't know 00:37:56.070 --> 00:37:58.510 if that's announced yet, but I mean, I put it 00:37:58.510 --> 00:37:59.550 on the website, obviously. I don't know, but 00:37:59.550 --> 00:38:01.550 it hasn't been, I don't know if it's been officially 00:38:01.550 --> 00:38:02.949 announced by weight, but yeah, I'm playing the 00:38:02.949 --> 00:38:04.789 homecoming tailgate there. We're playing Ole 00:38:04.789 --> 00:38:07.230 Miss actually. So that'll be a lot of fun. Yeah. 00:38:07.750 --> 00:38:10.090 I'm excited for that. That'll be a, that'll be 00:38:10.090 --> 00:38:11.969 a perfect place to play. We went south for sure. 00:38:12.949 --> 00:38:15.989 And Dan, I got to say this real quick. Alameda 00:38:15.989 --> 00:38:18.429 is a really special song to me. I feel like this 00:38:18.429 --> 00:38:21.150 is one and folks, if you missed it, it was released 00:38:21.150 --> 00:38:25.010 the top of the year, January, 2024. You really 00:38:25.010 --> 00:38:28.099 flourished on this song, Dan. I think that it's 00:38:28.099 --> 00:38:29.739 almost like you're, well, I don't think you're 00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:31.139 just coming out and saying, look, I could do 00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:34.000 this all day long. I could write songs just like 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:35.960 this, and this could be all I do. But it's kind 00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:39.059 of showing people, hey, I could do this. If I 00:38:39.059 --> 00:38:43.739 wanted to just write these really deep songs 00:38:43.739 --> 00:38:47.579 where your curiosity really shines through, I 00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:49.519 think you hit one out of the park. I was talking 00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:53.659 to an FM DJ friend. I call him a friend. He's 00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:56.650 a contact in Fort Walton Beach. Said you got 00:38:56.650 --> 00:38:58.449 to listen to this. I'm not telling you got to 00:38:58.449 --> 00:39:02.530 put it in a rotation, but check it out Hope he 00:39:02.530 --> 00:39:04.550 doesn't mind me name dropping here Bo Reynolds 00:39:04.550 --> 00:39:07.650 Highway 98 country said I'll say this Dan It's 00:39:07.650 --> 00:39:10.590 a beautiful song very well written and the production 00:39:10.590 --> 00:39:13.429 is pro level now I didn't stick around to see 00:39:13.429 --> 00:39:16.690 if you put in rotation or not, but Yeah, I'll 00:39:16.690 --> 00:39:18.989 have to check my ASCAP statements if you did 00:39:18.989 --> 00:39:21.630 Yeah, but that's awesome. And actually a good 00:39:21.630 --> 00:39:23.829 buddy of mine who's actually one of the funny 00:39:23.829 --> 00:39:26.119 connection there One of my good buddies from 00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:27.780 college, who's one of the people that really 00:39:27.780 --> 00:39:29.159 introduced me to Eric Church, is actually from 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.820 Fort Walden Beach. So kind of a funny small, 00:39:31.820 --> 00:39:34.219 small circle world there. He's getting, he lives 00:39:34.219 --> 00:39:36.000 in Louisiana now. He's getting married next year. 00:39:36.019 --> 00:39:38.360 I'm going to go to his wedding. So I appreciate 00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:39.800 that. I don't know if we, I guess we haven't 00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:41.739 spoken since Alameda. Yeah. I don't know if I 00:39:41.739 --> 00:39:43.659 told you or you probably saw online, but yeah, 00:39:43.699 --> 00:39:45.920 that song was about my grandma, my mom's mom, 00:39:45.940 --> 00:39:48.360 because she passed sometime during COVID and 00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:50.699 she was from Alameda. That's where she was born. 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:54.460 and it was just you know I realized after she 00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:56.300 passed like obviously she'd been alive for most 00:39:56.300 --> 00:39:58.739 of my life she was almost 94 like you know lived 00:39:58.739 --> 00:40:01.300 a long time but last couple years were not not 00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:03.760 great but I just realized there wasn't that much 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.039 that I actually knew about her life before certainly 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:09.500 before I was born and definitely before my mom 00:40:09.500 --> 00:40:12.440 was born like I knew like where she was born 00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:15.880 her parents if she had siblings etc like because 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:17.559 some of her I think her brother's still alive 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:20.280 but Yeah, I just realized there wasn't that much 00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:25.059 I know. And about all my grandparents, and even 00:40:25.059 --> 00:40:27.019 my parents to a certain extent, it's just like 00:40:27.019 --> 00:40:28.860 things we just take for granted or don't think 00:40:28.860 --> 00:40:30.900 about. And so that was kind of that song was 00:40:30.900 --> 00:40:33.480 like, man, I wish you were still here. I'd ask 00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:36.380 you all this stuff. And hopefully someday I get 00:40:36.380 --> 00:40:39.579 to. And I think we've all had that feeling with 00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:42.179 someone. So I really appreciate that though. 00:40:42.460 --> 00:40:45.260 That means a lot. Yeah, I took down this in my 00:40:45.260 --> 00:40:47.099 notes too. This may have been on one of your 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:49.800 One of the reels when that song was released 00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.119 the experience of this song has made me want 00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.940 to be more vocal in my relationships It's kind 00:40:54.940 --> 00:40:58.380 of like the Cody Johnson song till you can't 00:40:58.380 --> 00:41:00.320 You can only talk to someone about their life 00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:04.920 and experiences until you can't so I just Really 00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:09.960 love that damn Sure. Um, it's true But super 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:12.920 excited for you here. What's coming next the 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.880 music that's coming out next folks. Check it 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:18.730 out talking dirty We probably didn't talk enough 00:41:18.730 --> 00:41:20.849 about this song. Let's let's bookend it here 00:41:20.849 --> 00:41:24.250 on talking dirty the video I don't think I mentioned 00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:27.289 this Andrew I'm probably gonna mispronounce this. 00:41:27.289 --> 00:41:30.949 I think I said Alan Schoenfeld. That's Adam Adam 00:41:30.949 --> 00:41:35.829 Adam. Yeah Andrew Capra Yes, produce the video 00:41:35.829 --> 00:41:38.750 No, he's the he produced the rep the song the 00:41:38.750 --> 00:41:42.329 record the video by Grayson Green Yeah, he's 00:41:42.329 --> 00:41:44.329 done. He does a lot of work. He's a great great 00:41:44.329 --> 00:41:46.960 video guy does a lot of great work in town and 00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:48.719 I'm very lucky to work with him so yeah we did 00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:51.440 that was a fun little video that was like just 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.519 a really simple concept we just went like way 00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:57.260 out like 30 miles west of town and found this 00:41:57.260 --> 00:42:01.579 like dirt road and it just like had all the trappings 00:42:01.579 --> 00:42:04.420 of like a country song that you could want like 00:42:04.420 --> 00:42:06.159 visually like there was a cornfield there was 00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.860 like water there was dirt roads and we were trying 00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:11.579 to figure out like a simple concept and we're 00:42:11.579 --> 00:42:14.230 like Well, I'm just kind of walking down this 00:42:14.230 --> 00:42:16.690 road and that's cool, but it's just also kind 00:42:16.690 --> 00:42:20.210 of boring. Why don't we do it once, like where 00:42:20.210 --> 00:42:23.789 I'm completely clean. And then I just got really 00:42:23.789 --> 00:42:25.750 dirty and took my shirt off and like rubbed it 00:42:25.750 --> 00:42:27.670 in the mud and put mud all over my face and everything. 00:42:27.989 --> 00:42:30.170 And so we like kind of the full video, which 00:42:30.170 --> 00:42:32.150 isn't out yet, but like it kind of just cuts 00:42:32.150 --> 00:42:33.969 between the clean takes and the dirty takes. 00:42:34.070 --> 00:42:35.989 And we just, we did the exact same thing like 00:42:35.989 --> 00:42:38.550 twice and just had a lot. It was, so that was 00:42:38.550 --> 00:42:45.630 a lot of fun. So. Very very also dirty And even 00:42:45.630 --> 00:42:48.269 in this song it kind of sounds like you know, 00:42:48.289 --> 00:42:50.210 it's a subject in the song if the girl starts 00:42:50.210 --> 00:42:52.769 talking to you Hey, all you got to do is start 00:42:52.769 --> 00:42:54.889 talking dirty But you really still drop in that 00:42:54.889 --> 00:42:58.389 Dan Harrison curiosity in the song. You're still 00:42:58.389 --> 00:43:01.969 interested in in her But yeah, I love the chorus. 00:43:01.989 --> 00:43:03.909 The chorus is gonna stick in your head folks 00:43:03.909 --> 00:43:07.949 play the song after your after you wrap up This 00:43:07.949 --> 00:43:10.530 episode.
