Coming home from grade school, she would pen tunes about her day, and felt that music was the meaning of life. The Sydney, Australia-born and raised, Nashville, Tennessee-based artist has always written songs to process her deepest emotions. “I always believed that my purpose on earth was fulfilled by music,” says Firerose, “and helping people up with a song I wrote gives everything so much meaning. I write from a place in my soul that's unexplainable and I'm incredibly grateful for this gift that allows me to touch people so profoundly.” Applauded by Rolling Stone for her "atmospheric ballads and lilting leads” Firerose is a unique talent and internationally critically acclaimed artist. With her unmistakably pure crystalline voice, Firerose transcends genres and captivates listeners with her deeply meaningful lyrics about the miracles God has performed in her life. Her fearlessly honest songwriting and distinctive melodic style are matched with her powerful personal story of life-saving faith and overcoming addiction. Firerose is an authentic storyteller and her inspirational songs that celebrate rising from the ashes are undeniably uplifting. Firerose's hit “Plans” climbed to No. 16 on both Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart and Mediabase's Adult Contemporary chart in 2023. Firerose has graced the Grand Ole Opry stage many times and performed on national television including “ACM Honors,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” “Good Morning America,” "LIVE with Kelly and Ryan," “GMA3” and has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard, People Magazine, American Songwriter, Stellar Magazine, Music Row, Entertainment Tonight, Us Weekly, Taste of Country, CNN, Fox News, iHeartRadio, CMT, The Today Show Australia, Today In Nashville and many more.

After vaulting to stardom as a charismatic presence and chief collaborator in Kid Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker Band, Uncle Kracker, kicked off a stunning solo career of his own. His 2000 major label debut, Double Wide, fittingly went double-platinum and yielded #1 smash “Follow Me”. Its 2002 follow-up No Stranger to Shame reached gold status and spawned cross-format hits such as “In A Little While” and the powerful cover of Dobie Gray's “Drift Away” which set a Billboard record for most weeks at #1 on any chart, topping their #1 run on the Adult Contemporary radio charts for a staggering 28 weeks. Before Uncle Kracker flew up the charts for 5 weeks at #1 with “When the Sun Goes Down”, a duet with good friend Kenny Chesney, country music might've seemed an odd place to find the Detroit-based good-time Kid Rock alumni. But after a few summer tours with Chesney, Uncle Kracker reached country's Top 10 with his double-platinum crossover hit “Smile”. Then, 2012 saw him fully embrace his countryside with his critically acclaimed fifth outing, Midnight Special produced by Keith Stegall which leaves no doubt this feel-good rocker is exactly where he should be. Uncle Kracker has played sold out shows across the country and appeared everywhere from the American Country Music Awards to Late Night with Conan O'Brien.”

DON MCLEAN: From Folk Roots to Rock Legend

Don McLean III is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1971 hit song "American Pie", an 8.5-minute folk rock "cultural touchstone" about the loss of innocence of the early rock and roll generation (US #1 for four weeks in 1972 and UK #2). Though some of his early musical influences included Frank Sinatra and Buddy Holly, as a teenager, Don became interested in folk music, particularly the Weavers' 1955 recording At Carnegie Hall. He often missed long periods of school because of childhood asthma, particularly music lessons, and although Don slipped back in his studies, his parents allowed his love of music to flourish. By age 16, he had bought his first guitar and began making contacts in the music business, becoming friends with the folk singers Erik Darling and Fred Hellerman of the Weavers. Don recorded his first album, Tapestry in 1969 in Berkeley, California during the student riots. After being rejected 72 times by labels, the album was finally picked up and released. Don worked on the album for a couple of years before putting it out. It attracted good reviews but little notice outside the folk community, although on the Easy Listening chart "Castles in the Air" was a success, and in 1973 "And I Love You So" also became a number 1 Adult Contemporary hit for crooner, Perry Como. Don's major break came when the record company he was with was taken over by United Artists Records, which gave him major label promotion for his second album, American Pie. The album launched two number one hits - the title song and "Vincent". American Pie's success made Don an international star overnight and piqued interest in his first album, which charted more than two years after its initial release. In 2004, he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In January 2018, BMI certified that "American Pie" and "Vincent" had reached five million and three million airplays respectively. His composition "And I Love You So" has been sung by Elvis Presley, Perry Como, Helen Reddy, Glen Campbell, and others, and in 2000, Madonna had a hit with a rendition of "American Pie". His other hit singles include "Vincent" , "Dreidel" , a rendition of Roy Orbison's "Crying", a rendition of the Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You" , and "Wonderful Baby". Recently, the Grammy-award honoree and BBC Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has released his latest studio album, "American Boys" which pays tribute to his rock and roll heroes.

The singles from 1989 are from acts like Love and Rockets and Debbie Gibson. Buckle up, there's a new Quiz in town! Find out if Joe can pull off another upset in this new series of quizzes.

It's a very special episode of HRT80s and it's dropping right smack dab in the middle of the busy holiday season. As we get ready for a new year, let's take a look at some songs that hit the Hot 100 at the end of 1989. Some of these are definitely considered more “90's” but since they debuted in 1989, they are fair game for HRT80s! Friend of the Podcast Chad joins Joe and Kari to discuss some of the songs that were On The Brink of the 90's, including songs from Gloria Estefan, Technotronic, and Aerosmith! Grab your party hats and noisemakers and join in on the fun!
