Conner Smith visits with Evan Paul and (5:50) remembers why he didn

Super excited to announce new guest, Conrad Fisher, to The Story!Music industry Veteran Matt Lindsey (Mel Tillis, Hal Ketchum) was planning a quiet evening at home when he got a call from his friend, legendary music producer Jim Rooney (John Prine, Nanci Griffith).“He was very insistent that I come down to a show in town,” Lindsey recalls. “He told me he'd found someone he wanted me to hear. He told me he thought this guy had a big future ahead of him. Once again, Rooney was right.”That was the night Lindsey met Conrad Fisher, a young singer / songwriter from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Fisher had come to Nashville to sit in with Rooney and his Irregulars (a stew of acclaimed session guys like Dan Dugmore, Dave Pomeroy along with acclaimed artists like Tim O' Brien, Pat Alger, Shawn Camp and more).“I loved what he did,” says Lindsey. “His music is so natural. I wanted to work with him immediately.”Indeed, FIsher possesses an immediately likable vocal style, is a fine guitar player skills and brought great original songs to the table. Lindsey and his Ashbrook Recordings partner Jeff Gordon (Elizabeth Cook) wanted to get Fisher into the studio as soon as possible.The result is Fisher's new Trouble With A Hammer, a 7–song collection of 5 originals and 2 covers; Tom Petty's “Walls,” and Waylon Jennings' “You Asked Me To.” On his originals, Fisher draws from a deep well of influences like Buck Owens (on the title track), Don Williams (“Old Lonesome Feeling” and “Better Now”), and even The Monkees (“Baby I've Got You”).Fisher provided vocals, keyboard, guitars, harmonic, percussion and kazoo and recorded the project at the famed Nashville recording studio, The Sound Emporium. Other noted musicians joining in were Fred Eltringham (drums, percussion), Russ Pahl (steel guitar/electric guitar), Pete Wasner (piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer), Gideon Klein (bass, fiddle) and Beth Fisher (vocals).The Pennyslvania-born singer and songwriter grew up in a Mennonite household where his dad played Johnny Cash records and where the young Fisher learned to love the harmonies of the church he attended.In 2018 Fisher went to Nashville to seek out his songwriting heroes like Roger Cook (“I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing”), Dickey Lee (“She Thinks I Still Care”), Dallas Frazier (“Elvira”), and Bill Anderson (“Tip of my Fingers”), among others.Still based in Pennsylvania, Fisher is an accomplished carpenter and spends time in his workshop building things for his family and friends.You can find Conrad and his projects here:Website: http://conradfishermusic.comYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/conradfisherFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConradFisherMusic/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/conradfishermusicFind The Story Podcast here: coryrosenproductions.com/podcastsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-story/donations

On February 3, 2023, I presented a four-hour edition of the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show, interviewing an array of local, national and international touring artists that were in Kansas City for the annual Folk Alliance International Conference. Next up is Patterson Barrett from Austin, Texas and Beth Bombara from St. Louis. Patterson first came to my attention about 8 years ago at the Folk Alliance Conference as the side man for Songwriter Stephanie Urbina Jones. As you'll hear, we've stayed in touch over the years and I learn something new about Patterson with each visit. During this conversation, he casually drops new information to me that at the age of 17 he played pedal steel, dobro and guitar on Jerry Jeff Walker's rendition of Guy Clark's L.A. Freeway for Walker's first release on MCA Records. He has helped anchor the Buddy Miller House Band during an Americanafest Awards Show at the Ryman Auditorium. I had the privilege of attending those Awards Show for a good number of years and the house band was always on fire! Not long after arriving in Austin, he formed the band Partners In Crime, which included Buddy and Julie Miller, sometimes referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Americana Music….releasing one album on their own label, Criminal Records. In the years since, Patterson produced some of Hal Ketchum's earliest demos, served in Al Kooper's back-up band, and performed before 10,000 festival-goers as Chuck Berry's pianist. He accompanied Nancy Griffith on Austin City Limits, legendary Austin singer Lou Ann Barton in music clubs around the country, and Buddy Miller on his Your Love And Other Lies CD, and more recently, on the Buddy & Jim CD. He has a continuing collaboration with Stephanie Urbina Jones as her accompanist, musical director and producer, including work with her Honky Tonk Mariachi project, appearing on the Grand Ole Opry multiple times. In addition to years of supporting other talented artists in every format imaginable, Barrett has maintained a career as a recording artist in his own right. Around 2015, I was introduced to Beth Bombara through a mutual musical friend, Sky Smeed. Although based in Missouri, Beth has spent much of her adulthood on the road, carving out her own award-winning mix of vintage folk and electric roots-rock. She's been a solo artist, a bandleader, and an occasional side musician for other artists. Her songs live in the same world as greats like Petty and Dylan; Gillian and Joni, and grow up like trees drawing nourishment from their roots music. But she never, ever sounds like the "typical" artist who claims these influences; Bombara to zig where someone else might zag, making harder or gentler turns, brushing up against jazz or taking rock toward its fulfillment.” - The Columbia Tribune It's been my pleasure to include Beth for the last three years now as part of the Heartland Song Network Private Showcase line up. Enjoy these conversations and performances with Patterson Barrett and Beth Bombara in Hour 3 of the Folk Alliance Takeover of the Tasty Brew Music Radio Show.

We talk with John regarding his 24th annual “Songs and Stories with John Berry Christmas Tour” which continually brightens the holidays for thousands. We take time to discuss his electrifying rendition of O' Holy Night that he recorded in the studio with producer Chuck Howard in 1994, and the magical moment that came about during that recording process, having recovered from brain surgery only 30 days before. Segments of some of the songs he performs on the Christmas show are shared on this episode, along with the stories behind them. Berry also tells how in 2019, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, requiring 35 treatments combined with radiation and chemotherapy. He has since fully recovered and has started his new podcast, Faith, Family & Friends that he produces with his wife Robin. One of his most recent episodes features the late Charlie Daniels, which was his final interview he gave just a few days before passing away.   The Business Side of Music ™ © 2020 Beyond the Music Co-Produced and Hosted (by the guy who has a face for podcasting): Bob Bender  Co-Producer, Creator and Technical Advisor (the man behind the curtain): Tom Sabella Director of Video and Continuity (the brains of the entire operation): Deborah Halle Editor (the “ums' and “aahs' removal guy who makes us sound good): Mark Sabella Marketing and Social Media: Kaitlin Fritts Executive Assistant to Bob and Tom, and editor for the Blog: Meagan Droke All Around Problem Solver: Connie Ribas Recorded at: The Bunker in Franklin, TN (except during the Covid 19 pandemic, then it's pretty much done VIA Skype or over the phone, with the exception for those fearless enough to come to Bob Bender's living room… and there are a few).

Alligators and puppies, Hal Ketchum, hope instead of thankfulness and the power of hot chocolate. It was a delicious week! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

El pasado lunes, día 23, supimos que Hal Ketchum, el artista de Greenwich, en el estado de Nueva York, había muerto en su hogar tejano de Fischer por complicaciones con su demencia, dejando vacante otro de los taburetes destinados a los grandes trovadores. En 1989, editó un primitivo álbum titulado "Threadbare Alibis" en la independiente Watermelon, producido por él mismo y cuyos beneficios siempre fueron a parar a sus dos hijos, Sarah y Graham, fruto de un anterior matrimonio lleno de frustraciones. Durante su carrera tuvo la consideración de ser uno de los más brillantes vocalistas y compositores de la country music, aunque él siempre prefirió que su música hablara por él, prefiriendo la privacidad del anonimato. Tuvimos el privilegio de conocerle personalmente en los mejores momentos de su carrera y comprobar su extraordinario talento para compartir historias. La popularidad llegó con "Small Town, Saturday Night", una canción compuesta por Pat Alger y Hank DeVito que consiguió el primer puesto de las listas de sencillos en 1991 con el apoyo de un video rodado en blanco y negro bajo la dirección del fotógrafo Jim McGuire y basado en el film "The Terror Of Tiny Town". Había pasado un año desde su firma con Curb Records. Los singles posteriores de Hal Ketchum, sobre todo "Past The Point Of Rescue" -la canción que titulaba aquel trabajo-, dieron una imagen más cercana a la realidad de este cantautor que siempre poseyó una rara habilidad para recordar letras de canciones desde sus años más jóvenes, incluso cuando tocaba la batería en una banda de rhythm and blues a los 15 años. Tuvo una infancia con el tocadiscos siempre sonando en casa. Su padre, linotipista para Gannett Press, era un fanático de Marty Robbins y Hank Snow, además de tocar el banjo de cinco cuerdas. Su madre, que sufría de esclerosis, adoraba a Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington y Frankie Laine, mientras su abuelo era un experto violinista clásico. Aquello ayudó sobremanera a que se despertara su interés por la música. Han sido 31 años de carrera, desde su debut en aquel pequeño sello independiente, con un buen número de espléndidas canciones que no debemos olvidar. Este 2020 sigue siendo un año terrorífico que también parece ensañarse con artistas de nuestro amplio paraguas sonoro. 10 días antes de la muerte de Hal Ketchum perdíamos a Doug Supernaw debido a un cáncer irreversible de pulmón y vejiga que le diagnosticaron hace año y medio. La búsqueda de nuevos valores en el mercado de Nashville al comienzo de los 90 lanzó a la palestra a un tejano de Houston que se movió durante seis años por la ciudad y en quien se fijó el productor Richard Landis para publicarle el álbum Red And Rio Grande, un disco equilibrado entre canciones propias, como la que le daba nombre genérico, y algunas otras de los compositores básicos de aquellos tiempos. Su impresionante aspecto externo, propio de un jugador de fútbol americano, contrastaba con sus interpretaciones emocionantes en la línea de Vern Gosdin y Gene Watson. Doug Supernaw tuvo la paciencia de esperar a que se produjeran los cambios oportunos en su compañía de discos para empezar a hacerse popular a finales de 1993. Casi un año después publicó su segundo álbum, Deep Thoughts From A Shallow Mind, en el que destacaba su versión al éxito de 1975 para David Allan Coe, "You Never Even Called Me By My Name", que esta vez grabó con el propio Coe, Charley Pride y Merle Haggard como invitados por orden de aparición. La canción había sido compuesta por Steve Goodman y John Prine, pero este último pidió no figurar como autor porque no quería ofender a la comunidad de la country music, de cuya industria de Music Row hablaba en un tono especialmente satírico. Spencer Burton parece haber regresado a sus raíces naturales en "Nothing's Changed", el tema de anticipo de su nuevo álbum, Coyote, que reflexiona sobre la vida de los lugares en que deambulan los búfalos y donde, como dice su título, nada ha cambiado. Coyote es el quinto quinto álbum de estudio en solitario de este canadiense originario de Toronto, en Ontario, que se mudó a la zona rural de Niágara. Tal vez por eso quiso que la grabación de este trabajo se hiciera con un equipo analógico aunque para ello tuviera que trasladarse a Nashville. Como en otros casos, Spencer Burton estuvo tocando punk rock con Attack in Black y fue miembro de una banda indie como City and Color. Pero pareció entrar en razón y cambiar su perspectiva. Es algo que le acerca mucho a lo que suena cada fin de semana en nuestros aperitivos compartidos. Colorado" es una de las canciones más poderosas de las últimas fechas en la voz de Ward Davis, un ejemplo del outlaw country de los nuevos tiempos y de cómo músicos tan reconocidos como Willie Nelson, el desaparecido Merle Haggard o Trace Adkins han interpretado sus creaciones. La canción la conocimos hace un par de años, cuando Cody Jinks, que la compuso junto a él, la incluyó en su álbum Lifers, y sigue manteniendo el poderío de entonces y su tono vocal conmovedor. Este músico de Monticello, en Arkansas, se muestra especialmente artesanal en su nuevo álbum, Black Cats and Crows, donde muestra de forma evidente su esfuerzo por recoger el legado que sus predecesores en el terreno del country han dejado, y trabajar en su desarrollo segundo terminamos la segunda década del siglo XXI. El camino de Sean Harrison parece el inverso al de Ward Davis, ya que el primero nació en Nashville y se crió en el estado de Arkansas, en concreto en Fayetteville, donde siempre regresa. Así lo ha hecho, tras recuperar su prometedora carrera debido a decisiones personales poco afortunadas. De ello habla en Halfway From Nashville, un álbum que tiene en “Gravel & Dirt” su tema de apertura, revelando un sentido del humor lleno de ingenio y poco común, que a veces incluso desprecia su propia manera de comportarse. Sean Harrison es un tipo curioso con una categoría como contador de historias que recuerda a James McMurtry o Slaid Cleaves. "Hasta luego Nashville, TN / No puedes quedarte con lo que queda de mí / Y por lo que puedo decir / Ya es hora de que te desee lo mejor / Me construiste, me liberaste"... Así canta Chris Stapleton en “Nashville, TN”, la canción de cierre de su último álbum, Starting Over, dando pie a todo tipo de especulaciones. Mitad lamento y mitad homenaje a la ciudad que, en cualquier caso, le ha hecho extraordinariamente popular. Es bien cierto que Stapleton tenía pensado grabar una buena parte de este proyecto en Muscle Shoals, pero un corte de energía en toda la ciudad determinó el cambio de planes. La composición de “Nashville, TN” está compartida con su mujer, Morgane, la mujer que se ha convertido en imprescindible desde sus comienzos. Este cuarto álbum del artista de Kentucky vuelve a mecerse con los latidos de los forajidos del country, como Willie, Waylon y Merle Haggard. y los del rhythm and blues como Ray Charles, Otis Redding o Aretha Franklin, con la significación que todos ellos tienen en la historia de la música popular.  Desde las tierras de Downey, en California, el veterano Dave Alvin también ha aprovechado estos tiempos extraños que nos han obligado al confinamiento para mirar en sus archivos y completar From an Old Guitar: Rare and Unreleased Recordings, descubriendo algunas de sus debilidades personales como es el caso de Marty Robbins, que nunca nos ha parecido suficientemente reconocido, a pesar de ser una influencia constante en muchos de los artistas cercanos a la música de raíz. “Man Walks Among Us” es un ejemplo de su gran talento, siendo una canción que compuso y grabó en 1963 para su álbum Return of the Gunfighter con ciertos tintes agridulces. Lo que dejaba claro era su cariño por los paisajes del Oeste y, sobre todo, los de su Arizona natal. Steve Earle se ha acogido a su banda de acompañamiento de estos últimos años, The Dukes, donde militan nuestros buenos amigos Eleanor Whitmore y Chris Masterson, para grabar J.T. Es un trabajo que se ha convertido en el disco que nunca hubiera querido lanzar. En él rinde homenaje a su hijo, Justin Townes Earle (J.T.), que falleció el pasado 20 de agosto en Nashville, su ciudad natal. Se publicará digitalmente el 4 de enero de 2021, el día en que hubiera cumplido 39 años, mientras el vinilo y el CD verán la luz pasado el invierno, a mediados de marzo. El álbum se titula J.T. porque era así como le llamaban familiarmente, tras apodarle Cowboy en su infancia. Steve Earle & The Dukes han versionado 10 de las canciones que Justin nos dejó desde su debut discográfico en 2007 con el EP Yuma, que le trajo por primera y única vez a España, y su último registro, The Saint Of Lost Causes, del pasado año. Hoy anticipamos la lectura sonora que han realizado de “Harlem River Blues”, el tema que dio nombre genérico a su trabajo de 2010 y que se convertiría en la mejor canción del año siguiente para la Americana Music Association en su entrega de premios anuales. Todos los derechos de este álbum que, según Steve, son la mejor forma de decir adiós a un hijo que vivió siempre de forma apasionada, serán entregados a Etta St. James Earle, la hija de tres años de Justin. Su única hija. Si una guitarrita de enorme prestigio decide rendir homenaje a otro guitarrista legendario convertido, además, en uno de sus grandes amigos organizando un festival que reúna, a su vez, a una lista interminable de guitarristas… estamos en una gozosa reiteración de los sonidos de seis, ocho, 10 o 12 cuerdas interpretando canciones de casi cualquier género musical. Eric Clapton, uno de los guitarristas más sobresalientes de la historia, lo hizo en 1999 cuando se produjo el primer concierto benéfico de Crossroad en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York. Su amigo del alma era JJ Cale. El Crossroads Guitar festival hizo su debut en 2004 en el Cotton Bowl de Dallas, del que se publicó un doble DVD que pasa por ser uno de los más vendidos de la historia en ese formato. Las publicaciones de las siguientes ediciones, en 2007, 2010 y 2013, también fueron millonarias. Tras una pausa de seis años, regresó en 2019 en la capital del estado de Texas y con un listado infinito de colaboraciones estelares como las de Gary Clark Jr., Robert Cray, Sheryl Crow, Buddy Guy, John Mayer, Keb 'Mo', Bonnie Raitt, la Tedeschi Trucks Band, Peter Frampton o Vince Gill, entre otras muchas. Clapton siempre ha manifestado un enorme respeto hacia el country, sus grandes figuras y sus guitarristas. Músicos como Albert Lee o Vince Gill han sido habituales en sus Crossroads y en esta última edición hemos podido escucharles junto a Jerry Douglas en esta versión de “Tonight The Bottle Let me Down”, con Vince Gill de cantante solista y el espíritu de Merle Haggard en el ambiente. El Crossroads Guitar Festival recauda fondos para el Crossroads Center de las llamadas Pequeñas Antillas, un centro educativo y de tratamiento contra la drogadicción que el músico fundó en 1998. La despedida del programa de hoy, antes de citarnos para mañana a la hora del aperitivo, es la de un tipo que ha marcado su recorrido con un estilo al que siempre llamamos rock pantanoso. Es John Fogerty, el líder indiscutible de la Creedence Clearwater Revival, que en los últimos tiempos ha venido recreándose en las grandes canciones del legendario grupo californiano para presentarse en directo. Todo ello se vio interrumpido por la llegada de la pandemia y su aislamiento en casa y decidió, ante la imposibilidad de trabajar con sus músicos habituales, que su banda de acompañamiento la formarán sus hijos pequeños: Shane, de 28; Tyler, de 27; y Kelsy, de 18. Empezaron a tocar juntos y a compartirlo en su canal de YouTube, de tal forma que ahora ha decidido convertirlo en un álbum que ha titulado Fogerty’s Factory, como un guiño al medio siglo que ha cumplido el álbum de Creedence Clearwater Revival Cosmo’s Factory. De hecho la portada es una puesta al día de la original. En realidad, todo fue una idea de su mujer, Julie, como una especie de antídoto ante la situación creada por la pandemia. En Fogerty’s Factory hay canciones de álbumes en solitario de John Fogerty y clásicos de Creedence Clearwater Revival, pero también se incluyen un par de versiones. Una es “Lean On Me” de Bill Whiters y la otra la inmortal “City Of New Orleans” Steve Goodman convertida en la mejor canción de trenes de la historia. Escuchar audio

PLUS: We remember country star Hal Ketchum, the DWTS finale was last night AND LORI AND JULIA BOOK CLUB: "In a Holidaze" by Christina Lauren

This week we welcome Grammy award-winning country star, John Berry! GRAMMY Award-winning country star John Berry celebrates 42 years as a Country music performer. In 2020 Grammy award-winning country star, John Berry took advantage of being off the road. Highlights include partnering with Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt for his weekly series, "Songs and Stories For Kids," which charted multiple times on the Pollstar Live Stream Chart. He released a new video and re-recorded a new single for "The Graduation Song," started his new podcast, Faith Family & Friends and is ending the year with his 24th annual Songs and Stories with John Berry Christmas. In 2019 John Berry celebrated the 28th anniversary since signing his first record deal with his most recent single “The Richest Man” from the new album Thomas Road. In 2019, Berry was diagnosed with throat cancer, requiring 35 treatments combined of radiation and chemotherapy. In 2018 charted at #30 on the Music Row Breakout Charts with the single, “Beautifully Broken,” which is featured in the soundtrack for the movie of the same name. The singer-songwriter rose to stardom on the country charts of the 1990s with such mega hits as Your Love Amazes Me, Standing on the Edge of Goodbye and She’s Taken a Shine. His annual Christmas tours brighten the holidays for thousands, as does his electrifying rendition of O’ Holy Night. During the 90’s and early 2000’s, John placed 20 singles on the country charts, 6 of which went Top 5, with Your Love Amazes Me, scoring a #1 on the Billboard and Radio & Records Country Chart as well as Standing on the Edge of Goodbye and She’s Taken a Shine earning the #1 slot in Radio & Records. He has earned multiple Gold and Platinum records over the years. John was nominated for the ACM Top New Male Vocalist in 1994, won a Grammy Award in 1996 for his participation in Amazing Grace: A Country Salute to Gospel Vol. 1, was nominated for another Grammy in 1995 for his smash hit Your Love Amazes Me and was nominated for the CMA Horizon Award and Top Male Vocalist Award in 1995. In 1997 he was nominated for Vocal Event of the Year (for Long Haired Country Boy with Charlie Daniels and Hal Ketchum) and in 2013 John was nominated for the Mainstream Country Male Artist by the ICM Awards. And thanks to the miracles of modern technology, he even sang a duet with the late, great Patsy Cline. “I love what I do, with a passion not seen in quite some time. I’m hopeful and excited about the future. I love singing and always will. I have a bus, an incredible stage presentation, a great band, hands-on management team and I’m always all dressed up and ready to go.” John’s enduringly powerful performances draw on a lifetime of making music and living life. Born in South Carolina and raised in Georgia, he began playing guitar at 13, performing shows at age 14 and making records at age 19. “By the time I was 17, I knew that music was what I wanted to do with my life”; and he has done it well ever since. Between 1979 and 1990 he recorded and marketed six albums on his own labels. The Graduation Song, which he wrote during his senior year in high school, became a perennial favorite at graduation ceremonies. It appeared on two of his early collections. Those early discs and John’s strong regional popularity attracted attention on Music Row. Capitol Records signed him to his first major label contract in 1992. Berry’s co-written hits A Mind of Her Own and Kiss Me in the Car introduced him to radio audiences in 1993. Then Your Love Amazes Me, What’s in it for Me and You and Only You thrust him to stardom in 1994. Standing on the Edge of Goodbye, I Think About it all the Time, and If I Had Any Pride Left at All were all major hits the following year, with Standing on the Edge of Goodbye earning John the coveted 1995 Grammy nomination. But it was his stunning performance of the title track of the 1995 CD O’ Holy Night that led to his most enduring legacy to date. John began doing special Christmas tours that year and 2016 marks his 20th anniversary holiday concert tour. He has big plans to celebrate and involve the fans like never before for this anniversary celebration. He has also issued three more Christmas-music collections. If O’ Holy Night is all that anyone remembers of me, that’s fine with me,” he comments about his perennial Christmas popularity. “It is a truly inspired piece of music.” Happily, there were more successes to come. The hit Change My Mind earned John a Top-5 spot on the Country music charts in 1996. She’s Taken a Shine became an even bigger hit in 1997. Both fans and the media took note again when There He Goes was released as a 1999 duet with Patsy Cline. In 2002, Berry returned to making records for his own company, Clear Sky Records. Songs and Stories, a double CD was issued that year. In 2003, John Berry released his I Give My Heart collection and its critically applauded wedding anthem Will You Marry Me. The disc also contained his versions of such classic love songs as Time in a Bottle, If, Love Look What You’ve Done to Me, Faithfully, Lady and Let’s Stay Together. I Give My Heart inspired still another popular concert series, The Love Tour. In 2008, Those Were the Days, was released, marking John’s return to mainstream country music. He created his first Christian-music CD in 2011. In 2012, John published the combination book and CD, again titled Songs and Stories. Over the years he has continued to tour steadily. “We just have a great group of fans who welcome us every year. They are always there.” In late 2015 John launched a crowd funded Kickstarter project that proved very successful. Overwhelmed by the fan response, John assembled an all-star studio team and cut both a Country album entitled What I Love the Most and a new album simply titled Christmas and released both in late 2016. Blessed with the ability to make the music he wanted to make (and not what a label dictated) allowed John the time to write and create what many music critics who have heard bits & pieces are saying could be his best, most complete project yet. “I'm excited to have been able to release this new music and bring it to the fans through a new distribution agreement with Sony RED. It’s a new time in the music business and technology allows me to be closer to my fans and interact in new ways. You know, God just keeps blessing me. There are new opportunities coming at every turn.” “With time, I’ve learned that the road to fulfillment is doing what I was called to do, love to do, and then doing it the best I can, regardless of the circumstances. And for me, that is making music and singing for people." 2017 found John touring in several configurations (acoustic solo, acoustic trio and full band) with plans to release another new album followed by the continuation of his legendary Christmas Tour. He and his family moved back to Music City after several years in Georgia, and 2017 saw John pursuing a touring and personal appearance schedule that is more active than ever. Given his wide range of music and number of releases, John is fortunate in that he can book a solo show with just himself and guitar, a small-band acoustic show or a full-band engagement and has more than enough hit material to captivate a crowd and deliver an evening full of musical memories. Also, in August of 2017 John launched a new, weekly internationally syndicated television show entitled Songs and Stories with John Berry that explored the songs and stories that changed the lives of his weekly guest. Superstar guests in Season 1 of the show included Billy Ray Cyrus, Billy Dean, Mo Pitney, Neal McCoy, Suzy Bogguss, Collin Raye, Craig Morgan, Mark Wills, Delbert McClinton, Clay Walker and Lee Roy Parnell. 2018 John celebrated his 25t h anniversary since signing his major label deal, Season 2 of Songs and Stories with John Berry aired multiple times weekly to over 105 million homes across the United States as well as the UK and New Zealand on great networks like Heartland Television, The Family Channel, The Country Channel, Phil Mack’s Keep it Country (UK), Country TV (New Zealand) and AMGTV. In 2018 charted at #30 on the Music Row Breakout Charts with the single, “Beautifully Broken,” which is featured in the soundtrack for the movie of the same name. John also toured the country in all performance sectors, releasing several new projects and a few surprises. 2019 continued to celebrate the 26th anniversary since signing his first record deal with his most recent single “The Richest Man” from the new album Thomas Road.
In January 2019 , Berry was diagnosed with throat cancer, requiring 35 treatments combined of radiation and chemotherapy. A benefit concert was held with performers such as Garth Brooks, The Oak Ridge Boys, Vince Gill and over 24 other high profile entertainers from Country, Americana and Rock, raising funds to offset his out of pocket medical expenses, while also donating a significant portion of the proceeds earned to others in the music community in need via Music Health Alliance. 2020 has many as of yet undisclosed plans which will include his annual John Berry Songs and Stories Christmas Tour, marking its 24th year. Stay tuned to all of his activities at www.johnberry.com or via social media

Duane also talks about some of his influences, his George Jones tribute show, shares advice on songwriting and takes us back to the late 1990s with a great ballad of his called "The Trouble With Love".

A happy song that's pretty sad, a lot of vocal excellence, mid-baritones, and accents. OK, just one accent, but it's a doozie. We look at 5 O'Clock World, originally by The Vogues, covered by Hal Ketchum, and by The Proclaimers. Outro music is King Of The Road, also by The Proclaimers. Which we may get to on a future episode.

We talk about the Farm Aid Flood Relief Concert coming to the area, the loss of ETC and some sad news about Hal Ketchum.

Join me and Chris for a fascinating look into his life on the cusp of the release of his album and his undying passion for  Cowboy tradition and the modern cowboy lifestyle. For 2019 Chris is set to release a highly anticipated new album. Chris teamed up with Nashville producer, Trent Willmon, who will be producing the album. Chris wrote or co-wrote 11 of the 12 songs to be included on the album and Willmon co-wrote 8 of the 12 songs.  As a songwriter Trent has written many songs that have been cut by other notable artists including Brad Paisley, Eric Church, Little Big Town, Cody Johnson, Blake Shelton, Maddie and Tae, Merle Haggard, Wade Hayes, Randy Houser, Kevin Fowler, Granger Smith, Roger Creager, and many more. Trent also is credited with the Billboard top 5 hit “Keep on Lovin’ You” by Steel Magnolia, and Montgomery Gentry’s #1 hit “Back When I Knew it All.” As a producer Trent has truly shined and is credited in large part for the rise of Nashville’s newest sensation, Cody Johnson. Cody’s Album, “Ain’t Nothin’ to It”, also produced by Willmon reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Country Charts in 2019. Chris was raised in a small town in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Here he developed a love for horses, and everything about the cowboy lifestyle. He was drawn to the old cowboys around town who took him under their wing and taught him about horses. Chris built a love of starting colts and building confidence in young horses. By combining his love for horses and a love for art and photography, Chris started Diehard Cowboy–A company built to share the cowboy lifestyle and his authentic music with others. Chris spends as much time as he can riding horses and starting colts. Chris also works for several ranches to get a reprieve from his regular schedule. You can take a glimpse in this life by following. @Diehardcowboy_ Chris got somewhat of a late start into his music career. Earlier in life the fear of singing in front of other people kept him from getting on stage. Even though Chris never sang in public until he was in college, music was always present. Chris would often write songs while driving, or riding his horses, but singing would only happen around his close friends. Friends soon began to encourage him to sing more and to share his songs. Eventually Chris started writing and recording the songs that he had written but they were only heard by those in his inner circle. A turning point came when Country Musician, Collin Raye, heard a burnt CD of a few of Chris’ songs. Collin asked if Chris would be willing to open an upcoming concert for him. The night of the concert came and Chris faced his fear, took the stage, and sang to a hometown crowd. This was a moment that changed Chris’ life. After encouragement from Collin Raye, Chris set his sights on pursuing his career as a songwriter and performer. It took a lot of  work to overcome his fear. Chris spent a full year singing once a week at a local venue with his guitar before he finally felt he could play for a crowd. Eventually Chris was playing for larger audiences in shows across the country. He played during the Houston Rodeo at NRG park,  and even packed his guitar to Missouri.

PART ONE Scott and Paul give a shout-out to their latest Patreon supporter before revealing their respective Top 5 favorite live albums of all time - a topic suggested by Songcraft listener Bob Hunt! PART TWO - 15:17 mark Scott and Paul call up Gary (with a slightly wonky phone connection) to get the lowdown on how a chance meeting at a French castle led to writing more than two dozen songs with a Beatle; why he thinks growing up on show tunes made him a better country writer; how attending the Woodstock festival changed his life; the poignant true story of his father's death that unexpectedly became a hit song; how he accidentally got Faith Hill a record deal; the Tim McGraw hit he wrote that got shelved for 7 years because his publisher hated it; why he says all songs are love songs; and how he went from country hitmaker to collaborating with Carole King, Kenny Loggins, Richard Marx, Desmond Child, and the American Idol team. ABOUT GARY BURR Gary Burr first found songwriting success when Juice Newton scored a Top 10 pop hit with “Love’s Been a Little Bit Hard on Me.” The floodgates soon opened on a remarkable string of Top 5 country hits, including “That’s My Job” for Conway Twitty, “Watch Me” for Lorrie Morgan, “Sure Love” for Hal Ketchum, “One Night a Day” for Garth Brooks, “I Try to Think About Elvis” for Patty Loveless, “Till You Love Me” for Reba McEntire, “Can’t Be Really Gone” for Tim McGraw, “To Be Loved By You” for Wynonna, “On the Side of Angels” for LeeAnn Rimes, “Out of My Bones” for Randy Travis, and many others. Burr eventually returned to his early pop success, scoring a hit with “Nobody Wants to Be Lonely,” which Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera took to the top of the Latin charts. Additionally, he wrote Kelly Clarkson’s first hit, “Before Your Love,” which was the best-selling single the year it was released. He also wrote Clay Aiken’s “This is the Night,” which hit #1 the following year. Burr has collaborated with Carole King, both as a songwriter and as a member of her touring band. Similarly, he has worked as a backing musician with Ringo Starr and has co-written more than two dozen songs with Ringo that have appeared on the former Beatle’s albums in recent years. Burr and his wife, singer/songwriter Georgia Middleman, are currently in a band with Kenny Loggins called Blue Sky Riders. In addition to those mentioned, Burr’s songs have been recorded by Neil Diamond, Billy Ray Cyrus, Don Williams, Ricky Skaggs, Faith Hill, Lisa Loeb, Keith Urban, Kenny Rogers, Night Ranger, George Jones, Joe Cocker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lady Antebellum, and others. Gary was twice named Songwriter of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters Association, has been named ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year, and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Whiskey & Cigarettes Interview W/Hal Ketchum by DJ Nik

The demonic duo are starting to realize they shouldn't talk about movies they don't like. Spoiler alert, they don't like Hush. Plus, they spoil this whole movie.

Conner Smith is an up-and-coming singer/songwriter from Nashville who just released his debut EP "Didn't Go Too Far". Conner joins Country Music Made Me to discuss how a guitar he received at the age of 4 created a love for music and helped him overcome his shyness, how his Mom's career as an entertainment reporter in Nashville influenced his interest in songwriting, and how a trip to the Grand Ole Opry to see Hal Ketchum at the age of 6 inspired his first songwriting experience. Conner and Brendan talk about a very important meeting with Clay Bradley at BMI at the age 9 when Conner signed an entry level deal with the music company, signing his first publishing deal at 16 when he would go to school in the morning, song write in the afternoon, and head to baseball practice in the evening, and the moment he posted a Sam Hunt cover at 17 which led to working with Zach Crowell and signing with Tape Room Music. Conner explains how important the pandemic was in allowing him to find his true sound before releasing his debut EP "Didn't Go Too Far" in 2022, what it was like picking the 6 sings for the album, and what it's like releasing his debut after so many years of working within the industry, even though he's only 21.
