https://www.drewparkermusic.com It takes some folks 10 years to make a name for themselves in Music City, but in the three short years that Drew Parker has lived in Nashville, TN, he has been able to accomplish things he never dreamed were possible.Coming from a small, unincorporated town of Stewart, Georgia (located in Covington, Georgia), Parker began singing at age 3 in front of small church crowds. Over the years, he began to build his confidence and, at age 14, he decided to pick up a guitar and teach himself how to play songs from his inspirations, such as Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, and Alan Jackson. At age 18, he expanded his musical abilities and learned to play piano, both of which he still uses today to craft lyrics and rhymes into songs. Parker made the move to Nashville, Tennessee in 2015 and signed a publishing deal with RiverHouse/WarnerChappell in September of 2017. He is a co-writer on Luke Combs' debut platinum record “This Ones For You”, Jake Owen's single “Homemade” and Luke Combs' “1,2 Many”. Aside from his cowboy hat and boots, Drew Parker is the definition of true country. He is genuine, honest, and carries an old soul that resonates with many. He is on the rise and sees no end in sight. MUSICLYRICAL WORD-SMITHING IS A COMMODITY HOW MET LUKE COMBS?OLD SCHOOL ARTISTS YOU ADMIRED MOST?

In this episode of Talk of Fame, Kylie Montigney talks with Krystal King! At three years old, Krystal caught a snippet of Alan Jackson on the radio...and the rest is history. Country music was in her bones. She followed this love of music to college where she studied Music Therapy at Appalachian State University (home of Eric Church & Luke Combs) and worked as a psychiatric music therapist. While she loved being able to use music to help others, Krystal says that country music "haunted" her and she knew she had to follow that passion, bringing her to Nashville. Krystal's sound has been described as 90's country with a bit of folk, blues, soul, and rock. Krystal combines early influences of artists such as Alan Jackson, Dixie Chicks, Lee Ann Womack, & Willie Nelson with modern likes of Eric Church, Chris Stapleton, & Ashley McBryde. When it comes to songwriting, Krystal says "Loretta Lynn is my alter ego." Krystal has released 9 original singles -6 of which were produced by Mike Loudermilk (previously producing and playing guitar for Crystal Gayle). Over the next year, She will be releasing her self produced, Debut Album "Pretty Poison" (CD Available Now). The first single from the project, "Red Wine & White Lies" has over 15K streams on Spotify and "Mind Your Own Backyard," a quirky murder song from the album, has 27K music video views and is featured on the Heartland Network and CountryLine. Krystal has had the honor of performing iconic stages including the Bluebird Cafe, The Listening Room Cafe and Tootsies Orchid Lounge in Nashville and tours nationally visiting NC, TN, WI, AL, AZ, MS, & FL, & Texas. Additionally Krystal has played several festivals with headliners including Walker Hayes (WestHaven PorchFest), Craig Morgan (Keys To Country), Kristian Bush (Meeting of the Minds) and opened for Beth Neilson Chapman (writer of "This Kiss" by Faith Hill.). In 2024, Krystal had the honor of performing the VIP Lounge at Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville for the Lainey Wilson Concert Other notable performances included the National Anthem for the Charlotte FC out of the Panthers Stadium and the Novant Health Thanksgiving Parade in Charlotte, NC. Listen in as we discuss Krystal's journey and her life in Tennessee.

Cole Taylor's journey from small-town Georgia to Nashville success story perfectly captures the dreams that bring so many songwriters to Music City. Within just nine months of arriving in Nashville, Taylor landed a publishing deal that would launch a career filled with chart-topping hits for country music's biggest stars.Growing up immersed in a rich musical tapestry—from Alan Jackson's storytelling to Lynyrd Skynyrd's southern rock—Taylor developed a versatile songwriting approach that makes him a sought-after collaborator. "My head is just a burnt CD of just anything and everything," he explains, describing how his diverse influences allow him to adapt to any writing room situation.The stories behind Taylor's biggest hits reveal both his craftsmanship and the serendipitous moments that define songwriting. His first number one, "Sippin' on Fire" with Florida Georgia Line, came from a writing session with Matt Dragstrom that later received input from veteran songwriter Rodney Clawson. Taylor received the life-changing news while turkey hunting back home in Georgia—a fitting full-circle moment for the small-town songwriter making it big.Taylor's catalog includes standout duets like "Home Alone Tonight" (Luke Bryan and Karen Fairchild) and "You Me and Whiskey" (Justin Moore and Priscilla Block), showcasing his ability to create musical conversations that resonate with listeners. His thoughtful approach to songwriting balances commercial appeal with genuine emotion, as evidenced in songs like "Good News Sold" and "Can't Kill a Prayer."Beyond his songwriting success, Taylor gives back through "Playing Through," a company he co-founded that combines his passions for golf and music while raising money for charities. This entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to community reflect the values that have guided his career from the beginning.For aspiring songwriters, Taylor's advice is refreshingly straightforward: "Keep showing up" and "Get through the bad songs, find the great ones." His journey proves that with talent, persistence, and the right connections, those Nashville dreams can absolutely come true.

Fallout from the Karen Read Retrial continues, focusing on Boston Police Commissioner Cox's statements regarding Officer Kelly Dever and a strongly worded letter from Attorney Alan Jackson asking she be added to the Brady List. Officer Dever testified in the Karen Read Retrial, stating that her initial observations to the FBI about Burkowitz and Higgins in the Canton PD sallyport garage were a "false memory." She claimed she didn't recall the Commissioner telling her to "do the right thing," despite previously telling the defense he said that to her. Commissioner Cox denied knowing Officer Dever was associated with the Karen Read case and that he influenced her testimony, despite her acknowledging a meeting with him where he offered support. He stated he "encourages" many officers. Karen's Defense Attorney, Alan Jackson, sent a formal letter to Commissioner Cox, requesting that Officer Kelly Dever be included in the Brady database. This is due to her changed testimony and "false memory" claim, which he argues irreparably compromises her credibility and reliability as a law enforcement officer. Jackson asserts that if she lied, it's perjury, and if she truly suffers from false memories, she's unfit to serve. Jackson's letter warns that failure to disclose this information would be a constitutional violation, potentially leading to severe sanctions, including the dismissal of any cases Officer Dever is involved in, even post-prosecution, if this information is not disclosed to the defense.

Send us a textHave you ever needed something steady to hold onto when everything around you was shaking? "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" might be the quietest anthem of faith ever written—not making a grand entrance, but showing up faithfully when your strength doesn't.Unlike hymns of triumph and majesty, this beloved gospel song speaks to our deepest vulnerabilities. Born from real heartbreak when composer Anthony J. Showalter responded to two former students who had lost their wives, the hymn transforms the promise of Deuteronomy 33:27 into a melody of comfort: "The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."What makes this hymn extraordinary is how it's transcended its origins to become part of our cultural fabric. From Mahalia Jackson to Alan Jackson, from The Night of the Hunter to True Grit, these simple lyrics about divine support have resonated even in secular spaces. Yet behind its cultural reach lies theological depth wrapped in the simplest language—fellowship that brings joy, a pilgrim journey made sweeter by divine companionship, and freedom from fear not because life is safe, but because God is good and walks with us.Whatever wilderness you're walking through right now, this episode invites you to lean in—to the arms that never weaken, the promises that never fade, and the fellowship that never lets go. Join us as we discover why, generation after generation, believers have found such comfort in these simple words: "safe and secure from all alarms."SHOW NOTES:Leaning on the Everlasting Arms performed by Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns from the album Hymns of the Father from The Trinity Project.To purchase the digital album and any or all of the amazing Reawaken Hymns worship resources for Hymns of the Father.Lyric videos, chord charts, sheet music available for "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” can be found on Reawaken Hymns.Acoustic version of this hymn also available from Reawaken Hymns.Support the show www.thebrightforever.comAll songs used by permission.

In this raw and revealing conversation, Kristen takes us behind the music to share the remarkable story that shaped both her life and artistry. Growing up on 10 acres in Lorena, Texas, with a musical family heritage including her grandfather Sterling Kelly (a country singer-songwriter), Kristen first found her way to music through an unexpected opportunity while bartending during college. What followed was a winding path through the Texas music scene that eventually led to a Sony Nashville record deal in 2011, touring alongside legends like Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, and Alan Jackson. Kristen courageously shares her experience as a child sexual abuse survivor, revealing how writing poetry to process her trauma ultimately transformed into songwriting that connected with audiences. This healing journey has inspired not only her music but also her advocacy work through her restaurant Storyville Texas and her newly launched podcast "Something We're Saying," where she creates space for others to share their truths. Music aficionados will appreciate the behind-the-scenes stories of co-writing the Texas chart-topper "Down in Flames" with Brandon Jenkins and Stoney LaRue, working with legendary songwriter Paul Overstreet, and the 12-year journey to finally release her complete "Warrior" album that Sony had shelved. Kristen also reveals exciting news about her upcoming live album recorded at the Floribama and her song "Drink Myself Out Of Love With You" impacting Texas radio. Through every high and low, Kristen demonstrates what it means to lead with love and find purpose through pain.

Josh Mankiewicz catches up with Dateline producer Shane Bishop about their classic episode, “Cape Fear.” Young mother Allison Jackson Foy went missing after leaving a Wilmington, North Carolina bar in 2006. Two years later, a man walking in the woods three miles from that bar, found her remains. Just 10 feet away, another set of remains was found—another missing woman, later identified as Angela Rothen. Both women had been murdered. Both murders remain unsolved. Josh and Shane discuss the “Unsolved Case Squad” used in this episode—which included Karen Read's defense attorney Alan Jackson. They share behind the scenes details from Josh's interview with the man Allison's family believes was responsible for her murder—something he denies. Plus, Josh shares an excerpt from his recent interview with Allison's sister, Lisa Valentino, who today volunteers with the CUE Center for Missing Persons. “Lost Lane,” one of the cases she is working on, is featured in Season 4 of Josh's Dateline: Missing in America podcast.If you have a question for Talking Dateline, send us an audio message on social @datelinenbc or leave us a voicemail at 212-413-5252.

Karen Read & Alan Jackson are swimming in blood money after inking a deal with Hollywood. Apparently Karen Read's story is no longer the story of a psychopathic woman who murderered her police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe when she chose to reverse her 6,000 pound SUV into him at speeds of up to 24mph with her foot 74.5 percent down on the gas pedal. Her story apparently is about the power of “one woman's voice” (not John O'Keefe's mother Peggy O'Keefe) but the voice of psychopathic accused murderer Karen Read.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/i7IdKgUQoDUAfter Karen Read was acquitted of the Murder charges on June 18, 2025, DA Michael Morrissey, & Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan gave statements to the media that prompted Alan Jackson counter."The jury has spoken," DA Michael Morrissey simply states.Hank Brennan expresses disappointment in the verdict and states that his independent review, along with a closed federal investigation, led him to conclude that only one person was responsible for John O'Keefe's death, and no other suspects were identified. If Brennan believed only one person was responsible, a prosecutor's job is to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, which was not achieved. He also condemns a "campaign of intimidation and abuse" against witnesses. That sentiment is agreeable but incomplete because he doesn't also condemn it also against the witness, jurors and other participates. Jackson blasts Brennan for an "egregious breach of prosecutorial ethics" by attempting to publicly shame and discredit the jury and supplant his personal views for that of the jury. Jackson argues that Brennan's claims of a thorough investigation are false, given the defense uncovered hidden exculpatory evidence, lies, and perjury by the Commonwealth's own witnesses, cops covering for other cops, a biased and corrupt lead investigator with personal ties to witnesses, and inculpatory and suspicious conduct by a myriad of witnesses. Jackson asserts that the prosecution's effort was a personal vendetta against Karen Read, not a pursuit of justice for John O'Keefe, and that the case never should have gone to trial in the first place. He directly accuses DA Michael Morrissey of having no interest in actually seeking justice for John O'Keefe.RESOURCESDA Michael Morrissey's Statement - https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/norfolk-da-michael-morrissey-gives-statement-karen-read-verdict/6N6N23YM25AQPMEXRLR6HAOTOM/Hank Brennan's Statement - https://x.com/TedDanielnews/status/1937134441505096022Alan Jackson's Statement - https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/karen-read-attorney-alan-jackson-blasts-special-prosecutor-new-statement/NY7R26CSFJETXGFLIEKHRQE6Y4/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

The jury was attentive and asked several questions of the judge, they were dialed in, really couldn't ask for more.The jurors are taking media interviews and there are some commonalities- Trp. Bukenik came off as arrogant and petulant. The damage to John's arm, simply did not align with a car strike. Hank Brennan's objections were a problem for the jury.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/JaBePBtlqQADay 36 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 18, 2025 and a Verdict was reached! After 4 days of deliberation, the jury in the Karen Read murder retrial delivered their verdicts. Karen Read was found not guilty of second-degree murder (Count 1) and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death (Count 3). She was found guilty only on the lesser included charge of operating under the influence (OUI) with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or greater (Count 2), which is a misdemeanor.Immediately after the verdict, Karen Read was sentenced to one year of probation and a 24D program, which is a standard first-time OUI offer.Outside the courthouse, Karen Read addressed the crowd while standing next to her defense team, David Yannetti, Alan Jackson, and Elizabeth Little, and Robert Alessi. Karen Read thanked her supporters and stated that no one has fought harder for justice for John O'Keefe than she and her team. Her father also acknowledged the strength of Karen and the support of their extended family and the legal team.There was confusion during the reading of the verdicts, likely due to an initial incorrect verdict form. This form was sealed. The Commonwealth cannot appeal the not guilty verdicts. It's unlikely anyone else will be charged in John O'Keefe's death for the same crime, but if there are issues with the investigation itself, those could be charged separately. There is still the civil case against Karen read by the O'Keefe family which I will follow up on in the future but for now, .RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Karen Read Trial: Jury From & Closing Argument Breakdown In this comprehensive episode, we break down the crucial jury instructions and analyze the dramatically different closing arguments presented in the Karen Read murder retrial. After 31 days of testimony from 50 witnesses, Judge Beverly Cannone spent over an hour instructing the jury on how to apply the law to the facts of this case that has captivated Massachusetts and beyond. We examine the specific jury instructions given for each charge Karen Read faces: second-degree murder, manslaughter, and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. The episode details how Judge Cannone explained the concept of reasonable doubt, the Commonwealth's burden of proof, and what elements must be proven for each charge. We discuss how the judge instructed jurors to consider evidence of intoxication, intent, and whether Read's actions directly caused John O'Keefe's death on that snowy January night in 2022. The episode then provides a detailed comparison of the closing arguments. Defense attorney Alan Jackson's hour and twenty-six minute presentation began with him declaring three times "there was no collision" and painting a picture of police corruption and cover-up. In contrast, prosecutor Hank Brennan's closing repeatedly emphasized that Read was "drunk, she hit him, then she left him to die," focusing on physical evidence and Read's own statements at the scene. We analyze the strategic decisions made by both sides, including Jackson's heavy focus on discredited investigator Michael Proctor versus Brennan's emphasis on cell phone data showing O'Keefe never entered the Albert home. The discussion covers how each attorney addressed the controversial evidence, from taillight pieces to dog bite theories, and how they framed Read's "I hit him" statements - as either confused questions or guilty admissions. #KarenRead #JuryInstructions #ClosingArguments #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #CourtTV #JudgeCannone #AlanJackson #HankBrennan #JuryDeliberations #SecondDegreeMurder #Manslaughter #ReasonableDoubt #TrialAnalysis #LegalBreakdown #BostonPolice #CantonMA #BigBreakdown #VerdictWatch Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Karen Read Closing Arguments In Full From Defense Attorney Alan Jackson In this comprehensive episode, we present defense attorney Alan Jackson's complete closing argument in the Karen Read murder retrial, where he attempts to counter the prosecution's evidence that Read struck and killed her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, with her SUV in January 2022. Jackson, known for his theatrical courtroom style, delivered an hour and twenty-six minute presentation that challenged the Commonwealth's case while the prosecution maintains Read was intoxicated and left O'Keefe to die in the snow. Jackson opened by repeating three times: "There was no collision," directly contradicting the prosecution's physical evidence including taillight fragments found at the scene and damage to Read's vehicle. The defense attorney focused heavily on attacking the credibility of lead investigator Michael Proctor, who was terminated for misconduct after the first trial. However, prosecutors argue that Proctor's personal failings don't negate the physical evidence or witness testimony supporting their case. Jackson attempted to explain away Read's own statements at the scene, where multiple first responders heard her say "I hit him." While Jackson characterized these as confused questions, prosecutors maintain these were admissions of guilt from someone who knew what she had done. The defense presented an alternative theory involving a fight inside the Albert home, though prosecutors note that O'Keefe's phone data shows he never entered the house and stopped moving outside where his body was found. Jackson concluded dramatically: "Find Karen Read not guilty, not guilty, not guilty." Throughout the retrial, prosecutors have presented forensic evidence, witness testimony, and Read's own angry voicemails to O'Keefe that night, building their case that she struck him during a drunken rage. This episode provides viewers with Jackson's full defense strategy as the jury weighs whether the prosecution has proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. #KarenRead #AlanJackson #ClosingArguments #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #CourtTV #BostonPolice #CantonMA #TrueCrime #Retrial #CommonwealthVsRead #JusticeForJohnOKeefe #Prosecution #Defense #TrialCoverage #VehicularHomicide #NorfolkCounty #LegalAnalysis #BigBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Karen Read Trial Day 30-SUV vs. Fall: Today's Courtroom Clash Today's courtroom events marked a significant turning point in the Karen Read trial, highlighting the prosecution's compelling evidence and further exposing the flaws in the defense's theories. The defense began the day by again attempting to secure a mistrial, citing supposed confusion around evidence related to holes in John O'Keefe's sweatshirt. Judge Beverly Cannone swiftly dismissed the mistrial request, clarifying to the jury that the holes were indeed caused by evidence processing rather than violence during the incident—neutralizing the defense's complaint decisively. In another setback for Karen Read, the defense revisited their controversial dog-bite theory, only to have it swiftly rejected by Judge Cannone once more. Defense attorney Alan Jackson's insistence that the wounds on O'Keefe's arm were dog-inflicted rather than vehicle-related was shut down definitively, emphasizing the limitations of their forensic expert, Dr. Elizabeth Laposata. This ongoing refusal underscores the defense's desperate reliance on theories that lack credible scientific backing. Dr. Laposata's testimony itself faced immediate scrutiny, especially after the prosecution exposed troubling details about her past performance as Rhode Island's chief medical examiner. Prosecutor Hank Brennan meticulously highlighted previous audits criticizing her professional reliability, casting significant doubt on her testimony that O'Keefe's injuries might have come from a backward fall. This damaging revelation dramatically undercut the defense's credibility and potentially their entire forensic narrative. Later, biomechanical expert Dr. Andrew Rentschler attempted to challenge the prosecution's core assertion linking Read's SUV to O'Keefe's fatal injuries. However, his arguments faltered significantly under aggressive cross-examination by the prosecution, who successfully emphasized the overwhelming forensic evidence previously presented—evidence that consistently points directly to Karen Read's vehicle as the source of the fatal impact. The jury's observations today clearly revealed the fragile nature of Karen Read's defense strategy. The defense team consistently resorted to complicated hypothetical scenarios rather than confronting the solid forensic evidence and eyewitness testimonies already laid out by prosecutors. As the trial approaches its conclusion, the prosecution's straightforward and methodically supported narrative continues to stand in sharp contrast to the convoluted and increasingly disjointed defense theories. Stay engaged with this critical trial as the prosecution reinforces its narrative with further compelling testimony. Every piece of evidence brought forward from here will have significant implications for the final verdict, ultimately deciding justice for John O'Keefe. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrimeTrial #CourtroomDrama #DefenseExposed #ForensicEvidence #LegalNews #TrialUpdate #JusticeForJohn #CrimeSceneAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

CASE STRATEGY CHANGE Karen Read Defense SKIPS 2:27 Expert Testimony - McCabe Theory DEAD DEFENSE IN PANIC: Karen Read's legal team made a SHOCKING strategic decision to abandon their key Jennifer McCabe 2:27 AM Google search expert, effectively killing their main conspiracy theory and admitting their case is falling apart. The defense was planning to call an expert who would claim McCabe searched "hos long to die in cold" at 2:27 AM - hours before O'Keefe's body was discovered - proving premeditation by others. Instead, they're running scared from their own evidence. This dramatic strategy shift exposes the weakness of Karen Read's defense and proves the prosecution's case is airtight. The McCabe 2:27 theory was supposed to be the smoking gun that proved a police coverup conspiracy, but defense attorneys Alan Jackson and David Yannetti realized calling this expert would backfire spectacularly under cross-examination. The abandoned expert testimony would have focused on digital forensics allegedly showing McCabe's suspicious Google search timing, suggesting she knew O'Keefe was dying outside while Read was passed out drunk. However, the defense discovered their expert's analysis was flawed and would be demolished by prosecution questioning, forcing them to abandon their central conspiracy theory. This episode analyzes why the defense is retreating from their strongest alleged evidence, what this strategic abandonment means for Karen Read's chances of acquittal, and how the prosecution successfully neutralized the McCabe theory without even having to refute it in court. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains how defense teams only abandon key witnesses when they know the testimony will hurt their client. The collapse of the McCabe 2:27 theory leaves Karen Read with virtually no defense against overwhelming evidence of her guilt. Without the conspiracy angle, she's left facing DNA evidence, vehicle data, and expert testimony that proves she used her SUV to murder John O'Keefe. #KarenRead #McCabe227 #DefenseStrategy #JenniferMcCabe #GoogleSearch #MurderTrial #TrueKrime #ConspiracyTheory #DigitalEvidence #JohnOKeefe #Massachusetts #ExpertWitness #DefenseCollapse #LegalStrategy #Guilty YouTube Tags: Karen Read defense strategy, Jennifer McCabe 2:27, Google search evidence, defense expert withdrawn, McCabe conspiracy theory, Karen Read trial strategy, digital forensics expert, hos long to die search, true crime analysis, legal strategy change Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
