The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
What happens when you feel too rock for country and too country for rock? We put that identity to the test with a rapid-fire breakdown of 35 tracks that blur the lines, from Hardy and The Cadillac Three to CCR, Eric Church, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. We wrestle with what truly makes a crossover—songwriting grit, backbeat, guitar tone, or that undeniable chorus—and call out the picks that earned their place, plus a few that surprised us.Then we hit the headlines shaping the scene. Jason Aldean announces a 2026 Songs About Us Summer Tour and drops fresh tracks. CMA Fest lines up rising voices like Ella Langley and Shaboozey, while big festivals keep the season packed from Panama City Beach to Florida's Gulf Coast. Kane Brown builds a four-story Broadway hub, and Dolly Parton tips her hat to Son of Jolene, proving legacies grow when new artists answer the canon. A Ronnie Milsap tribute reminds us why the Opry remains a North Star.We open the floor to you with a walk-up song throwdown—Jukebox Hero to Tom Sawyer, the Rocky theme to One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer—and share our own entrance anthems. Expect a practical mini-masterclass on intros, tempo, and how to build energy before a first lyric. Charts get their due as we compare mainstream risers and indie breakthroughs, showing why a sticky hook can outlast any hype cycle.The mailbag pulls no punches: are record deals still worth it for mid-level artists, is radio failing because it won't take risks, and what gets more valuable as AI music improves? We make a strong case for live performance, brand voice, and community as the true moat. We also talk long game—the “ten-year town” reality—and how to measure progress without losing heart.If you're chasing better playlists, smarter career moves, or just need a gateway between steel strings and power chords, this one's for you.

Gio is back with Buff Faye and bringing the dating drama. In this episode, titled “Let Me Entertain You,” Gio shares why “Backpack” is better off as a friend and opens up about navigating life as a 35-year-old gay man who loves his “sissy nerdy” types. From Tinder to Hinge to OkayCupid, Gio calls himself an “older soul” — the kind who wants to fix and keep what's worth it. He and Buff also dish on the current season of RuPaul's Drag Race, debate what makes a “seasoned entertainer,” and yes, Gio event spills it on Godiva the dog and her wall licking, chaotic karaoke barking. Then the spotlight turns to special guest Reann Ballslee, a powerhouse entertainer with over two decades of experience in theme parks, cruise ships, and live production. From growing up in Richmond, VA and learning drag at Godfrey's, to winning Homecoming Queen in drag at George Mason University in 2009, Reann's journey blends performance, pageantry, and fabulousness. After moving to Orlando and working with the Walt Disney Company and alongside entertainers like Roxxxy Andrews at Pulse, her drag became rooted in spectacle, storytelling, and technical excellence. Reann shares how teaching and performing as Disney princesses shaped her movement and stage presence — those “princess hands” live in her body to this day. She talks about investing in your craft, knowing what defines you as an entertainer, and producing shows that move audiences. Inspired by icons like Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite Tour, Reann believes “larger than life is just the right size.” Buff and Reann also discuss producing strong drag shows, community connection, and the importance of honing your skills in an evolving drag landscape. The episode wraps with the fan-favorite game “YASSSS QUEEN.” Entertainment that educates and celebrates — this episode is all about what it truly means to entertain. Eat it Up!

(airdate: 3.3.26) Justin Timberlake wants to keep his past out of the public eye, filing to block the release of body cam footage from his Sag Harbor DUI arrest — because nothing says "leave it in 2024" like a court motion. Kristen Bell shuts down rumors she's pocketing $60 million for the next Frozen sequels, calling the reports wildly exaggerated — though she admits voicing Anna is still a pretty sweet gig. And Kaley Cuoco says she'd happily slip into rhinestones and big hair to play Dolly Parton in a biopic, officially volunteering herself for country legend duty.

In 1974, Dolly Parton wrote the chart-topping country hit, “I Will Always Love You.” The iconic love song reached its crowning moment when Whitney Houston recorded it for the soundtrack to the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Houston's version of the song reached No. 1 in over twelve countries, won many awards, and has over 1.7 billion views on YouTube. Years later, the world is still full of love songs. Some are shallow, some are vulgar, some are sweet. Most of them are easily forgettable because most of them ignore the source of real love, God Himself. Two thousand years before Whitney Houston, the apostle John wrote the short letter of 1 John. In five chapters, John used a variation of the word love more than twenty-five times, more than any other book in the New Testament. And what John says about love is more than a soulful declaration of love. Two thousand years before Whitney Houston, the apostle John wrote the short letter of 1 John.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been remarkably active these past few days despite her recent health challenges that kept her away from public appearances since September 2025. The 80-year-old country music legend made headlines on Thursday, February 26th when she announced that East Tennessee Children's Hospital will now bear her name. According to multiple sources including People magazine and the hospital's official statement, Parton shared the news via video message wearing a stunning white jumpsuit with gold and butterfly accents. She emphasized her lifelong belief that every child deserves to grow up healthy, hopeful, and surrounded by love, calling the nearly 90-year-old institution's staff compassionate and skilled caregivers. The hospital's president and CEO, Matt Schaefer, stressed this represents far more than a simple name change, with Dolly's backing reinforcing their mission to provide world-class pediatric care.This announcement comes as Parton continues her philanthropic legacy in her home state of Tennessee. Her charitable work already includes her Imagination Library, which according to Halifax CityNews sends three million free books monthly to children, plus a one-million-dollar donation to Vanderbilt University's Medical Center that contributed to COVID-19 vaccine research.Looking ahead, Parton is preparing for her highly anticipated comeback to public life. According to Parade, she will make her first in-person appearance since 2025 at Dollywood's opening on Friday, March 13th in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, where she's expected to serve as Grand Marshal of the annual Dolly Homecoming Parade. This marks her return after months of health procedures and recovery, during which she reassured concerned fans in October 2025 by stating, "I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me. And I ain't done working."Additionally, Dollywood is expanding its reach beyond the Smoky Mountains through a partnership with Allegiant Air, launching a themed flight experience from Orlando on November 6th, 2026, transporting guests to Knoxville, Tennessee. The flight is cleverly designated as Allegiant Flight 925, a reference to her iconic "9 to 5" song.Parton also has her Las Vegas residency at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace scheduled to begin in September 2026, signaling her gradual return to performing after her health challenges.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Nancy got her hair done yesterday and it’s darker than normal. Joey said that he would’ve never noticed a difference if she hadn’t mentioned it. Nancy brought her massage gun and tried to talk while Karly hit her with it. We talked about what happened at the BAFTA Awards when the man with Tourette’s Syndrome yelled out slurs while two Black actors were on stage. The live audience was warned in advance that something like that could happen, but TV viewers were not. The network chose to still air the moment, even though there was a 2-hour delay, leading to outrage from a lot of viewers. Baylen Dupree, a famous TikToker with Tourette's made a statement about how Tourette’s can make you say things that you normally never would.

Luke Combs says that he wants to lose weight but refuses to do it the “easy way” with GLP-1s. A man was arrested for posting a video of him pouring alcohol into an endangered hawk’s mouth. The Knoxville McKay’s is closing due to the property being sold. Nancy is sad because McKay’s always reminded her of her grandmother that would go there to get trashy romance novels. Joey said that his grandma used to keep her romance novels on the back of the toilet. The conversation went a little wild from there. Joey listened to a podcast yesterday and got annoyed when the podcaster used the word “nosh.” It apparently means “food” or “snack,” but he thinks it is unnecessary. He asked what other words people hated. Answers included “literally,” “due to the fact,” and pretty much all of Gen Alpha slang words.

Dust off the rhinestones and fire up the jukebox, because 1980s country was where neon lights met steel guitars. The decade kicked off with outlaw grit still echoing from the 70s, but soon the airwaves filled with the polished swagger of artists like George Strait and Reba McEntire, who balanced tradition with arena-sized confidence. Bands like Alabama turned country into a crossover powerhouse, stacking harmonies as tall as their tour buses, while storytellers such as Randy Travis steered the genre back toward its roots with rich baritone ballads that felt carved from oak At the same time, legends like Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers continued to shape the landscape, proving that authenticity never goes out of style. Sister duos like The Judds brought heart-tugging harmonies to the charts, and by the decade's end, a young Garth Brooks was loading the launchpad for the 90s country explosion. From honky-tonk tearjerkers to glossy radio anthems, 80s country was a decade of big hooks, bigger hair, and songs that still two-step straight into your memory Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ Playlists Spotify: Apple: Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/user-playlists/16b4813b839c4477b822cc845919f00esune?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&musicTerritory=US&ref=dm_sh_CMNR3rn7LH8c9RkLizlPyaZlt Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/ Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

Tony Orlando presents an extensive tribute to Barry Mann, whom he celebrates as the "miracle man" of American popular music. The program serves a dual purpose: it honors Mann's legendary career as a prolific songwriter behind classics like "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and "On Broadway," while also championing his overlooked talent as a vocalist and performer. Orlando structures the show around a unique "experiment" where he plays original demos—Mann's raw, initial recordings—alongside the famous hits they eventually became for stars like Dolly Parton and James Ingram. Through a heartfelt interview with Mann and testimonials from producer Brooks Arthur, the broadcast highlights the collaborative partnership between Mann and his wife, lyricist Cynthia Weil, framing their work as the enduring soundtrack of American life.

The iconic folk duo met at an audition for the only country music band at a prestigious jazz school in Boston. They immediately clicked, and joined the rich lineage of Americana artists that stretches back centuries.In their 20s, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings discovered they had something special when they sang together, a sort of eerie emotional resonance that is usually confined to the blood harmonies produced when siblings sing together.Ever since they've been making music together which draws on the bluegrass, country and folk traditions they love.In their historic recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee (which has withstood three tornadoes in the last century), they craft haunting songs about the ugly and beautiful parts of humanity.For Gill and Dave, the DNA of folk music is something we can all contribute to, and which contributes to all of us.Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are currently touring Australia's eastern states.

In today's episode, I sit down with JJ Barrows, author, artist, and Dry Bar comedian, for a conversation about why humor might just be the most underrated healing tool we have. JJ is a deep-feeler who has found a way to make comedy out of the hard stuff, and this episode is proof that laughter and honesty go hand in hand.We get into JJ's unexpected email collaboration with Dolly Parton (which she was completely convinced was a scam), her handmade egg-carton crowns and what they're really about, and our shared love of extra accessories. We also get real about depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and my own experience with Lupus, and why finding the funny doesn't mean pretending everything is fine.Episode Timeline Highlights[00:00] – Introduction[04:02] – The secret Dolly Parton email: Why JJ was convinced she was being scammed until she heard the unreleased track.[08:26] – Calling a spade a spade: Breaking the "everything is fine" facade to talk about depression and recovery.[12:06] – Why comedy is more than just jokes: Using humor as a tool to take a breather from the tough stuff in the world.[15:19] – Unexpected therapy: The calming power of smelling a baby's head and why I talk to my chickens over the fence.[19:45] – The Crafting Queen: How JJ's egg-carton crowns are actually about giving other people their "golden buzzer" moment.[31:34] – Becoming fearless at 70: How facing mortality erased my stage fright and why I'll talk to anyone now.[46:23] – The secret to a great act: Why you owe it to your audience to do what they find funny, not just your own agenda.Connect With Us:Follow JJ Barrows on Instagram @ jjbarrowsJJ Barrows Official Website: jjbarrows.comJJ's Books: 'A Spade a Spade' and 'Kind of Funny'Watch JJ's Dry Bar Comedy Special on YouTubeFinal Thoughts:Thank you for tuning in for this one.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
What makes a halftime show unforgettable: fireworks or feeling? We put country's biggest names under the stadium lights and ask who can truly command 12 minutes seen by the world. From Carrie Underwood's precision to Garth Brooks's jet-fueled stagecraft, Dolly Parton's sparkle to Taylor Swift's era-spanning spectacle, we break down who has the catalog, pacing, and production sense to turn a giant field into a living music video without losing the heartbeat of live performance.We also dig into a wild Super Bowl weekend of music: Brandi Carlile's goosebump take on America the Beautiful, the All-American alternative halftime stacked with country heavyweights, and the ongoing tug-of-war between lip sync polish and live grit. Then there's Kid Rock hinting at a “Robert Ritchie” narrative pivot and a cross-genre tour that could pull fresh ears into country's orbit. Add festival news, a wave of new releases from Eric Church, Carter Faith, and Koe Wetzel, and Cody Johnson teasing collaborations with Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne, and you've got a snapshot of where country is leaning next.Our listener question spins into a masterclass on reinvention: Bruce Dickinson, Brian Johnson, and Sammy Hagar all lifted their bands by changing the center of gravity. The takeaway for artists is simple and hard—evolve without losing soul. We cap it off with chart rundowns, indie gems, and real talk on artist development, time triage, and why most “opportunities” only matter if they move the craft forward.Hit play, argue with our halftime picks, and tell us who you'd book for the big game.

"Choosing love ain't love, unless the choosing is free." What happens when an artist stops caring about the "industry machine" and starts caring only about the truth? Today, we sit down with 2-time JUNO and 17-time CCMA Award winner Tenille Townes to discuss the most transformative chapter of her career yet. Last time Tenille was on the show, we were navigating the beautiful chaos of Bonnaroo 2022. Four years later, the "Nashville production" has been stripped away, leaving a raw, empathetic songwriter who isn't afraid to let the "hero complex" shake. In this episode, we dive deep into her 2026 evolution: The Independence Declaration: Moving from the major label system to becoming the CEO of her own vision. "Enabling": A breakdown of her devastating new single and the thin line between compassion and self-erasure. The "Dolly Moment": Why Tenille's current pivot mirrors the legendary independence of Dolly Parton and Joni Mitchell. Kintsukuroi: Learning from the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery—and why we are more beautiful for our cracks. The Living Room Tour: Why she's trading "band walls" for the vulnerability of a girl and a guitar. From Whispers to Symphonies: Preparing for her upcoming run with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. Tenille isn't just an observer of other people's pain anymore; she's turning the lens inward. This is a conversation about boundaries, accountability, and the courage it takes to stop rescuing others so you can finally rescue yourself.

Country superstar Lainey Wilson joined us fresh off her massive Qudos Bank Arena show, revealing she didn't go to sleep until 2am because the energy exchange with the crowd was so intense she couldn't come down. She opened up about working with her dear friend Dolly Parton (who has a custom one-sided headphone so she doesn't mess up her hair), why Australian crowds feel special because country isn't oversaturated here, and how her band leader wrote "Can't Sit Still" about her because he's watched her chase this dream for 10 years—and we made her prove she can actually sit still long enough to play Sing with us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sydney at 6 tackled the run club culture taking over Bondi at 6am which some are calling un-Australian, plus we covered the X-rated Sydney stories including the explicit lawn art and the Barangaroo cinema incident.

Grief has a soundtrack—and so does joy. We open with a heartfelt salute to Catherine O'Hara, tracing how a single scene, a laugh line, or a voice can linger long after the credits, then wander into the wild terrain where memory and music meet. From Beetlejuice's dinner table possession to Home Alone's enduring comfort, we reflect on how film and song become the waypoints we use to navigate time. That doorway leads us to a run of resonant passings and timeless cuts: Demond Wilson's place in Sanford and Son and the instant-transport power of Quincy Jones' Street Beater, the exuberant lift of Three Dog Night's Joy to the World, and a trip through New York's CBGB with Television's Fred Smith, Marquee Moon, and the creative stubbornness that forged a landmark record.We trace another kind of legacy through Lynn Blakey—muse behind Left of the Dial—and the thrill of literally finding a friend on college radio while touring dark highways. Her voice in Salt Collective's recent release becomes proof that “new” music thrives when veterans share a room, a pen, and superior instincts. Along the way we spotlight the Pretenders' crisp poetry, Dolly Parton's ever-true 9 to 5, and Siouxsie and the Banshees turning the ash of Pompeii into a dance-floor revelation. These are touchstones that explain why a Pink Floyd joke can still land and why Mount Vesuvius can power a chorus.Then the lens widens to the Blitzkrieg Bop at 50—a hook first shouted in downtown clubs that now rattles stadiums and commercial breaks—and ask how simple phrases become lifelong companions. It's a tour through what lasts, why it lasts, and how it keeps finding us—left of the dial and right in the heart.If this journey moved you, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves great stories about music and film, and leave us a quick review with your favorite “timeless” track—we'll feature picks in a future mailbag.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.
