Two Dozen Roses-Shenandoah's Marty Raybon Interview!

Two Dozen Roses-Shenandoah's Marty Raybon Interview!

When country music lovers talk about the greatest groups in the genre, Shenandoah is always at the forefront of any discussion. Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses”, “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You, Next to Me” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy-winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” duet with Alison Krauss. The boys from Muscle Shoals have left a potent legacy in country music with more than 300 million streams, over 8 million combined album sales, and 13 No. 1 radio singles over the course of more than three decades. Today, that legacy continues as Shenandoah has launched its 2024 concert tour.

Tommy Townsend, Waylon Jennings, & Grandaddy Mimm's Moonshine Distillery

Tommy Townsend, Waylon Jennings, & Grandaddy Mimm's Moonshine Distillery

The Georgia native actually began recording his “new” album Southern Man more than 25 years ago working with Country Music Hall of Famer Waylon Jennings and his legendary bassist Jerry Bridges. Townsend met Jennings when he was just a kid and never dreamed his idol would one day become his mentor.

We also chat about Grandaddy Mimm's Distillery in which Tommy is the head of in Blairsville, Georgia. They have the best moonshine and I got to do a taste test of a variety of shine, whiskey, and vodka.

Be sure to check out Tommy and his music and follow him on his socials along with the distillery website for more information on where to get your shine on!

Pam Tillis-90s Country Superstar

Pam Tillis-90s Country Superstar

As the daughter of Country Music Royalty, Pam Tillis was determined from a young age to find her own way in music as a singer and songwriter. After many false starts with her own recording career, including a pop single on Elektra and 1984’s “Above And Beyond The Doll Of Cutey” for Warner Brothers, Tillis came to the attention of Tim Dubois who headed up the Nashville office of Arista records. After much soul searching, Tillis made the commitment to make an honest country record. The album “Put Yourself In My Place” yielded 2 number ones, 2 top five singles, and one top twenty hits and in its first year the album was certified gold. Tillis followed with 3 platinum albums on Arista “Homeward Looking Angel” in 1992, “Sweethearts Dance” in 1994 and an Arista “Greatest Hits” in 1997. Tillis achieved 6 number 1 songs during this time including “Shake the Sugar Tree”, “Mi Vida Loca”, “When You Walk In The Room”, “In Between Dances” “Don’t Tell Me What To Do” and “Maybe It Was Memphis” while 14 of Pam’s other singles landed in the top ten and top twenty.

Wade Hayes! He's "Old Enough to Know Better" and he has a NEW ALBUM OUT!

Wade Hayes! He's "Old Enough to Know Better" and he has a NEW ALBUM OUT!

From Wade: “The determining factor was when I was 22 years-old. I’d been through four years of college and changed my major twice. I was only doing it because I thought that’s what I was supposed to do,” says Hayes. “I was watching the CMA Awards, and Ricky Skaggs came on and said that all the young artists out there struggling should stick with it, because that’s what they’re called to do. It literally hit me like a ton of bricks, because I was looking for direction, and I had my eyes and ears wide open. It felt like he was speaking to me. I was praying for direction and guidance, and I felt like that was it. The very next day, I started making preparations to move to Nashville.”

Jason Byrd, Traditional Country Is Still Alive! #trailblazer #risingartist

Jason Byrd, Traditional Country Is Still Alive! #trailblazer #risingartist

Join me as I chat with country music traditionalist, Jason Byrd. He has a brand new song out with 90s Country Icon,  @BillyDeanMusic  and it's an old #keithwhitley song "New Kid in Town". So good!! He also shares some really cool stories of his friendship with Country Music Legend, George Jones and his wife, Nancy. You're in for a real treat today, folks! Be sure to give him a follow on his socials and listen to his music. If you're a fan of timeless country sounds, then go no further than Mr. Jason Byrd!

Jason's Bio:

Jason Byrd was just 19 years old when he followed in his family’s footsteps and became a fireman. But there was another fire that burned within him, and that was music. In the early nineties, Byrd found himself balancing a career in the fire department with a career in Music City, traveling the 490 miles each way with the determination to make both of his dreams come true. Yet, in many ways, it wasn’t until the day that Byrd met the legendary George Jones that the trajectory of his entire career forever changed. Soon, small gigs at local bars and honkytonks turned into major opportunities on stages across the country, opening for powerhouse artists such as Tracy Lawrence, Loretta Lynn, and Dierks Bentley. 

In the summer of 2019, Byrd made the decision to retire from his position as the Battalion Chief of the Tallahassee Fire Department. But his musical story was far from over. Byrd recently made the decision to finally resurrect an unreleased song he and Jones had worked on together many years ago, a song that is now his soon-to-be-released single “Better Life.”

“Giving the world the chance to hear something that George Jones recorded that nobody’s ever heard before has never been more important to me as it is right now. The fact is that true country music fans are starving for this kind of traditional country music….my kind of country music.”

Billy The Kid Himself! Billy Dean Country Music Star of the 90s Exclusive

Billy The Kid Himself! Billy Dean Country Music Star of the 90s Exclusive

Do you remember the classic Billy Dean hit "I Miss Billy The Kid"? It has always been one of my favorites. I had the pleasure of talking to Billy about his success, songwriting, and even which presidential candidate he is currently writing a theme song for. Billy is an incredibly talented artist, and during the show, he even played his Billboard single "Only the Wind". I have always been a huge fan, and now I am an even bigger one! Listen to Billy's latest album, "The Rest of It's Mine" and his latest Christmas single, "New Kid in Town" with country music singer, Jason Byrd wherever you listen to music!
