It's called Jesse's Girl Too. It turns out the narrator did get Jesse's Girl, but now he regrets it because she's nuts. Rick even If is in the video. Here's the clip of the song. Pretty funny by the way. Here's the hook of the original Jesse's Girl, and again Rick Springfields in the video. It's karma though, Man, he stole his best friends girl. But you get Yeah, that's just crazy, that's what you get. Other music News, Reba is releasing another classic concert on YouTube so nine years ago. Um. She said that because a lot of these are that plane crash happened. She lost a bunch of her friends that happened twenty nine years ago, and a lot of them are in this concert. The first set of performers, I guess in the second have been announced for a c M S. It's all the normal people I haven't seen. The only difference is that I like about this a c M. And there's a difference from a CM and c M A a c M S. First, they're doing it from three places, the Ryman, the Oufrey House, and the Bluebird. And at the Bluebird, the songwriters are playing with the artist. That's cool. So it's Miranda Lambert, Natalie Himby and Luke Dick I think wrote Bluebird and they're going to play it together in the Bluebird like in the round where it's really cool. Yeah, that's a really cool thing. And it also is cool because it's pandemic award show, but you're popping venues and I love that songwriters get a little spotlight on this one. UM, Sam Hunton Brett Young set for the Red Rocks Virtual Concert series. Let's see anything else? Oh, John Lennons killer was denies parole again. He said that for his eleventh time, Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon, His request for parole was once again rejected. Yeah, he can't let him out. Is he getting pretty old? Yeah, but that's a big murder man, high profile. Really, I mean, you let him out, then it's the attention starts going the wrong way. There you go, and that's what's happened in the news. Enjoyed today's music podcast. Sorry it's a little shorter than normal, but you can hear why. All right, see you guys. Tracy, Good morning brother. How are you? I'm pretty good. How you doing? Take a plane? Man? You know, I guess a couple of weeks ago, and I don't know if you run your own Twitter account or not, but I was and kind of what inspire me to reach out to you again because I've seen you pretty recently. But um, I was listening to pay Me a Birmingham and there's that key change right in that double chorus, and I was like, man, this thing still hits hard, like when you go up a key. I was just like, holy crapt. So I was thinking about that song and I was like, yeah, don't talked to Tracy in a while. I kind of wanted to catch up a little bit. So, first of all, I appreciate you coming on. The second of all, when I started looking at paying Me a Birmingham, I realized it peaked at number four. Wasn't even number one song, No, wasn't it was, and probably, you know, other than Tom March's own, Birmingham is probably the biggest impact record that I had, and it was. I mean it it barely got top five. Man, then that crazy Yeah it says it peaked at four in this chart, but why is that? Like what what at that point kept it from hitting one? Was that we're radio people going ad that research or what were they saying? You know, I was on DreamWorks at the time, and DreamWorks had a lot of momentum. It was a big record. I don't know if they just they had followed it as long as they wanted to fight it and let it go. I mean, I don't know that was you know, that was Scott Borshetta's deal back at the time. But I I thought it even though it didn't go number one, that song has been just as impactful, if not bigger than most of the number one records that I've had over the years. I mean, I closed the show with it every night, and it brings the house down, Yeah, I mean, it brings the house down when I'm streaming it. I mean, and that's just my house. So, uh, well, a couple of things I want to talk to you about for a second. You know, we're going through this, you know, renaissance again from back when I was a kid in the nineties and teenager and you know, when you know you had a ton of your early success. Why in the world do you think we're looking back at the nineties now as like the beloved decade for country music. I think it was just such a great It was really a magical time for country music. Man. There was that young country energy that had swept the country, you know, in eighty nine. It all started in eighty nine with Garth Brooks and Clint Black and and uh Travis Tritt and Alan Jackson and Mark Chestnut. That was the beginning of it, and that explosion drove so many of us can come to Mashville. I mean, because by the time we got into the early nineties, it was it was traditional country with an edge to it. And I really think that we're gonna look back on the nineties. It's kind of like what classic rock is to the country these days. It's going to be that music that sustains for a long long time. There was just something really special about it, you know, with you And I'm not sure if you were down at s a U or you know when right before you decided to move to Nashville, but what was the thing that kind of pushed over the edge was like, all right, crap, I gotta go, Like, I can't do it if I don't I had. I had left SAU. I did two and a half years at s a U, and I'd gone back into the workforce for a little bit. I wound up moving to Louisiana and I was I was playing in a circuit band and doing just odd jobs down there. I was living in the rust and Louisiana at the time, and I had re enrolled in the Rusting in Louisiana Tech there at rustin and I was supposed to start classes in the fall. I got my pale grant approved and all that stuff was going on. I was gonna go back and finish my degree and all that music from eight nine came out, and I was sitting there thinking, you know, if I wind up going back to college, I'm never going to go to Nashville. If I'm gonna do it, I need to do it now. And I canceled the gigs, played the last weekend with the band, packed my car up and came to Tennessee. Okay, so did you have one car? Do you have a trailer like kind of Let me see, let me see the crap. I had a piece of crap Toyota Corolla with about two hundred and fifty thousand miles on it, and and the car is still sitting in my pasture right now. And he had just shot at full of board holes. It's still out there in the pastor so I had. I played my last gig in spring Hill, Louisiana at Bill's New Country three, and they took a collection up at the door to help me get to Nashville. I think I had seven hundred dollars in my pocket and I beat up old car and that is all I had except for what I could pack in that car. So what kind of place do you move into? What kind of place did you move into when you got here? You know, there was a guy from back home, and I called his mom on the way up here. Now I'd never been to Nashville before, really didn't know anybody, and he let me stay on the couch for a couple of weeks. I went up getting a job. I got on work with a construction company over in Portland, Tennessee, and I was working on a big warehouse as they were building hanging middle siding on it. I got my feet on the ground. Every night I would go out and meet the road musicians and the songwriters and everything and all the local water and holes downtown. And I wound up getting room and board with a drummer named Terry Buttram that was actually from Texa Canna, and wind up staying with him. He put my my first band together. When I got my record deal, things happened really fast, though, because I got to town in September of nineteen ninety. By December, I was on a called Live and Libby's Over and Days of Kentucky. That was an Oprey style show that broadcast back into Nashville one of Kentucky radio stations every Saturday night. Some executives from Atlantic Records had come to that show in December to see somebody else, and they liked me better. I did a showcase in January at the Bluebird Cafe, which is where I met Rick Blackburn. They agreed to sign me a May of ninety one, I cut Sticks and Stones and had three number one records in the top five off of it Insane and here's Sticks and Stones. Let me play a little bit of Sticks and Stones. I knew every word of a song. When you were in school, Tracy, were you the music guy? Were you the guy that always had a guitar being around or did your friends even? Yeah? I was. I was the guy that John Belushi would have taken it out of my hands and bashed it against the wall. Yeah. I went to church camp, man, I had a twelve string guitar. Dude, Oh yeah, I did them buy you all that stuff? So at church because listen, there was always church camp. And I went to uh Spring Lake church camp every year. There was always one cool kid that could play guitar. And for for me, whenever I was a kid, it was mostly Oasis, Wonder Wall. They could always play that. They could play a couple of Garths songs and that was about it. But were you that kid, you know I was. I could play quite a bit. Uh. Most of my stuff was like real traditional country. I was really big time into George Strait and Merrow Hager. Those were my two guys. Of course, you had guys like Randy Travis that came out in the early eighties, so I wouldn't play on the other hand, and and nineteen eighty two and that kind of stuff. So there was a whole lot of music from the era that were more of the baritone singers that I just absolutely fell in love with. And most of it was pretty straightforward stuff. I mean, we didn't get really into intricate chord changes and stuff till you got into more of the pop country, So most of it was pretty straightforward, you know, three or four chords, it was pretty easy. In a few minutes, I'm gonna ask you about you know, Made in America, your your later record and you know, doing your own record label, and because that's always so interesting to me. But I want to hit a couple of songs real quick, because I can't break it to my heart was me my teenage anthem, Like I hear this song, you know how you hear a song, and for me, it puts me back in Central Arkansas thirteen years old. Listen to Kissing ninety six here in this song right here. Did you hear songs still in your life that put you back in those spots? Yeah, I do a lot, especially a lot of the stuff from the early eighties, you know, because that was such a developmental time for me. You know, from the time I was you know, uh, preteen, early seen twelve, fourteen years old. All that music had such a big impact on me because I was really it was, it was forming part of my identity, because it was becoming a big part of who I was, because everything to me revolved around music, you know, from from going to junior high prom to to you know, you know, and not even just country stuff. That Purple Rain was her theme song for the prom. I graduated in eighty six. So all that music that came through, I hear band haland songs, and they remind me of my buddy, my running buddy had a sixty nine Chavell and we I mean we listened to a lot of Van Halen during the summer. So all those songs, man, they bring back those great members, you know, at this point in my career because I just turned forty, So I know I have people going here. Used to listen to you when I was like eight years old, and I'm like, holy crap, I'm I'm getting little older. It's got to be wild too. When you're out and there's like a you know, twenty five year old that's like, man, I Tracy Lawrence, I was listening to you when I was like four. That's gonna be crazy, right, my favorite one. Man. My grandmother loves you know. But you know what, I've seen the highs and lows of the business, and and I really have learned to take it all in stride, man, just just to kind of still be somewhat relevant and have a fan base out there that allows me to work. I'm so appreciative of it. I don't think I understood. You know, you get inside the bubble when your career takes off and your focus stone all that, and you've got all the people around you and you got your bubble and all that. You know, you lose perspective of just how special it is because it's something that very few people get to do. They don't get to take that journey, they don't get to feel the ride and the emotions of feeling a record go up the chart and seeing the impact that it has in the public and the way that it changes the crowd, and you know, it's just it's it's like getting on top of a wave is the only way to describe it. It's like a riding riding the top of a wave on a surfboard, you know, And and the ultimate goal is trying to sustain that ride as long as you can. You know. Well, way was the biggest and hardest like you put out was the time marches on with a Texas tornado, where you put it out and it's like, holy crap, hold on, because here we go. Man. There were several of them. I mean, uh, that initial first wave and Sticks and Stones took off. Man, it was life changing for me. Uh And and I remember hearing hearing six of Stones in the car radio for the first time and just the chills that gave me. I literally had to pull over the side of the road and sit there and freaking cry, you know. But then then you come back with of Alibis. Alibis was a massive, massive hit back in ninety three, and then I mean, so they they there's just something powerful about the way that those records impacted back then, and I don't I don't, I guess. I guess songs still impact that way for for artists nowadays. But back then it was you could feel the ground shake underneath your feet. And as a as a record would move up the charge, you know, it had a feel to it when it hit top forty, and then by the time I got top twenty and top ten, it got more intense, just the way the fans would sing the song back to you. By the time a record got top five in the number one, it was you could feel the ground move underneath your feet. There was no there's no other way to describe it. You know, when you put out the album last year and made in America, you know it's your your latest record, And I'm curious that's because you have such a distinct sound that people know you for, Like, how do you walk that fine line of because we all grow as people as artists, you know, we don't want to be the same person we were twenty years ago, But how did you grow but still stay the same when you're making new music but people know you from again? Sticking Stones and Alibis and if the Good Die Young? This album was really different in a lot of ways, because I've never written as much for a record. This album, I wrote like eight of the twelve tracks on it. Three of the other tracks came from songwriters and my publishing company, stuff that I've known for a while, so they basically all but one song came out of my camp. The one song that didn't is a Stapleton Shawn Camp song called Given My Reasons to Pray. And I, you know, I know this sounds crazy, but I really always lacked self confidence in my own songwriting. I've had a camp break. It was one that I wrote front Fortune was the one that I wrote, Stars Over Texas, I wrote but but But I had always tried to beat my own songs out with things I found from other publishing companies. As I was looking for material for this record, I just couldn't find what I was looking for. And I went up really just knuckling down and writing this record. And I've never forced myself to do that before. And I think, uh, I think it finally shined through. I think I cut a record that I'm really proud of form top to bottom, more so than than I have been any of them in the last several years. And it's I just felt more of a connection to it, and I felt like I delivered it better than I had anything else in a long time. You just check out Made in America, your own record label. What kind of responsibility is that now? You know? It's not too bad. It's it's basically just an imprint. We've got a distribution company with the Orchard, and they take care of so much of the other stuff. So basically, I'm I'm really hands on during the recording process, you know. Uh, you know, the way we market things through social media and with with secondary radio and uh, with streaming platforms is really different nowadays. So you know, I'm involved in what's going on, but I got a great management company that takes care of most of it. So it's it's it's nothing like when we were on a major and we were out doing radio tours and working radio all the time. It's it's a whole different thing. It's much more laid back these days. All right, Well, let me in with this question. If you look back at all your trophies, are plaques, are difference venirs? Like what is it that you have that you look at and go, man, I look at that. It reminds me of something awesome and it means the most to me. Wow, you know, I know this is gonna sound strange. Still a lot of people. Um, when my wife and I started our family, my wife and I've been together twenty two years. We have a daughter that's a sophomore in college, one that's a senior this year. And when we started our family, we made the conscious decision that they didn't want them to try to keep up with what I had accomplished and the things that I've done in my life. There are no platinum records on my walls, no gold records. There are no trophy mantels, no trophy cases. I've got a collection of NFL football helmet signed by all these different people's sports memorial belli and stuff. But as far as the trophies and things from me, they're they're not displayed at my home. Nice. Who's your favorite? What's your team? Who's your NFL team? You know I grew up a Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I still have a lot of friends in Dallas. I'm very connected to that program. Uh, But you know, we're here Tennessee. We've gotta support of Titans, and I'm anxious for football to start back this year. I hope we're gonna have some one of some normalcy with some football coming back. You know, just have to wait and see. It's been a crazy year. Man. Yeah, I agree. Hey, Tracy, you know I love you. Follow at the real Tracy Lawrence. Just such a big fan of your music and then even as a person now you just you continue to grow and do Thanks for the community and make music and you know I admire that. So thank you for your time and thanks for just being around town. Man, Thank you, bro, I appreciate you. Mane Tracy alright, being joined in the house by our champion Adam Hamburg music trivia against the musician. I got a little bit of a sinus thing happening. Not Corona. I got another test this morning. Negative. I get Corona tested more than anybody I knew, does different jobs. Your nose used to it. Yet I don't always do my nose the one I do for that geo spit and so. But to get this fancy NBA tests, well, it's an awkward amount of pit too. It's it's you spit more and more and then eventually you run out and they don't want you to drink water. Oh wow, Okay, that's news. But yeah, that's a little easier. But I tell you, you know what, I took a nose one two days ago because I'm doing my Heart Festival. I'm doing some post stuff there. But anyone that comes on set had to get tested with this test. But I actually like doing it to myself with the nose more than I like when they did it to my nose. Okay, that's interesting. I have not heard of anybody doing that. There must be special privileges. Well, they mail it to you. A lot of these tests now are just mail, you know, unless you go any tests I take now through the mail they come. I put them in a biohazard bag when I'm done, and then in a box and in another bag overnight. You're you run a test pro here. I probably in twenty so far. Oh my gosh. So but yeah, so I don't have corona. Um, good for you. But you're back at the scene of the crime. Hey, Mike, Adam and I were playing basketball last Saturday. I think there's a small group of us here playing um knockout, and they were Adam had shot and somebody else had shot, and they both throw a ball at me at the same time Al was calling my nuts on was kind of my face. I just instinctually cover one nuts and Adams ball went right in my face. Man, Bryan the knows and there's it Wasn't it hurt because anytime you get hitting the notes, that stucks. Man. That is not fun. That's not fun, dude. I saw it. It happened in slow motion, like the ball left my hands, and then you turned towards the ball that was kidding, headed towards your nuts and and then you saw my ball coming at the corner and you turned right into it, and my like, I buried my face in my hands. I was like, no, I just ruined Bobby's career. Now, nobody's gonna want to have on TV anyone you've missed up nose I just got I got a little gash on the side of my nose, but it's mostly even healed now. Good good. Adam's long text and Moon was like, hey, I saw Bobby was injured. When you're playing basketball. You didn't do that, did you? She said, That's what I was afraid to be fair too.
