Walk down memory lane with Brett James as he shares stories from his past and brings appreciation to the icons of the music industry who have paved the way for future singers and songwriters.In this episode:Thoughts on the CMA'sMed School drop-out twice!The difficulties of writing a hit songThe benefits and challenges of co-writingCo-writing with Don Schlitz & other favorite artistsThe impact of Garth Brooks on the country music industryWhich artists belong on the “Mount Rushmore” of the music industry?This episode is sponsored by: Habana CubaAbout Brett:For over a decade, Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer Brett James has been one of the most prolific and versatile songwriters in Nashville, having had more than three hundred of his songs recorded by major label recording artists. James has become a fixture on the Billboard Country chart with thirteen #1 songs and scores of top 20 singles to his credit.In 2009, Brett achieved the Music Row “Triple Play,” an award for three #1 songs in a single chart year, not once, but twice! These six #1‘s; ‘It's America,' by Rodney Atkins, ‘Out Last Night,' by Kenny Chesney, ‘Cowboy Cassanova,' by Carrie Underwood, ‘Summer Nights,' by Rascal Flatts, ‘The Truth' by Jason Aldean, and ‘The Man I Want To Be' Chris Young earned James ASCAP Songwriter of the Year for the second time in October 2010.A native of Oklahoma City, Brett attended Baylor University, where he completed two years of medical school before moving to Nashville to pursue his dream of becoming a country star. In 1995, Brett James was signed to the Arista subsidiary Career Records and subsequently released his self-titled debut album. Career Records was later dissolved in consolidation, and with it, James's recording artist aspirations. Brett persevered as a writer at Patrick Joseph Publishing which fostered the relationships that destined him for success.In the year 2000, James received his first major album cut with the song ‘Love Is A Sweet Thing,' recorded by Faith Hill, followed by a top 20 single ‘You Won't Be Lonely Now,' with Billy Ray Cyrus. It wasn't long before Brett reached the benchmark that all songwriters and artists alike strive for, the coveted #1 song. In April of 2001, then-break-out artist Jessica Andrews landed James his first #1 with the song ‘Who I Am.' He returned to the top of the chart in 2002, this time with country superstar Martina McBride and the song ‘Blessed.'As his chart success continued, Brett appeared on Billboard Magazine's top-ten country songwriters list for five consecutive years, the only writer to do so, and in 2006 reached yet another musical milestone winning ASCAP Songwriter of the Year. In 2007, Brett received the music industry's highest honor winning the Grammy Award for Best Country Song ‘Jesus Take The Wheel,' recorded by Carrie Underwood.The list of artists that have recorded songs penned by Brett James resembles a who's who in the country music list but also straddles genre lines into American and world pop music. Some notable pop artists to record James' songs include Kelly Clarkson, Jon Bon Jovi, Daughtry, The Backstreet Boys, Chicago, and Leona Lewis. Brett has also scored #1 songs in Europe and a worldwide top 5 Latin hit with the song ‘Todo Mi Amor' recorded by Paulina Rubio. Outside the writer's room, Brett's talents have earned production credits that include Taylor Swift, Jessica Simpson, Josh Gracin, and MCA recording artist Kip Moore whose single “Somethin' ‘Bout a Truck” was a breakthrough smash in 2012!https://www.facebook.com/BrettJamesSongswww.GaryScottThomas.com

In this episode I sat down with Texas native Terry McBride; who was making a run through Texas and was a judge at our TMP Songwriter Competition. Terry scored a #1 (Sacred Ground) as well as a string of Top 5 hits, with his group McBride and the Ride in the 90’s, but that’s only where his songwriting accolades begin… After McBride and the Ride disbanded, Terry began to focus most of his attention on songwriting, and through the years since has had songs cut by other artists such as Garth Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Hank Williams Jr., Ronnie Dunn, Kix Brooks, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Lost Frequencies, Kenny Rogers, John Anderson, Cole Swindell, Jim Lauderdale, Chase Bryant, Clare Dunn, Ricky Van Shelton, George Ducas, David Ball, Casey James, Wade Hayes, Gretchen Wilson, Andy Griggs, Jedd Hughes, Jason Michael Carroll, James Otto, Gord Bamford, Emerson Drive, Rosie Flores, as well as Texas stars Cody Johnson, Jack Ingram, and Josh Ward. In 2004, Terry co-wrote American Idol finalist Josh Gracin’s top five single “Stay With Me/Brass Bed”. He followed that up by co-writing “Play Something Country” with Ronnie Dunn, which was the fastest rising single of Brooks and Dunn’s career and was also the final #1 song for the award-winning duo. Terry has had over 25 songs recorded by Brooks & Dunn, which led to 13 singles and 12 BMI million air awards. So we talk about his musical journey, get the scoop on his latest project and what’s next and pick his brain about songwriting and any advice he has for aspiring songwriters.

In this episode, our special guest is our very own, BJ Kyle, from McNeil, AR. Population, 499. It's just Alan and BJ hosting. Jordan was in uniform when he showed up at the house. He warned that he may get called out. Sure enough, he got called out to a "no holds barred brawl in downtown Magnolia! Just kidding, nothing like that happens here. And, Jeffrey...well, he had to watch the kids while Amanda got her hair did. So... In their relaxing, almost syrupy, manner, BJ and Alan cover his "small town" start in music to his big city debut on the Grand Ole Opry. He reveals the little know fact that Colt Ford is a college-educated PGA Golf Instructor. Alan reveals his uncomfortable passion for Mark Wills music (Alan: "But, he is The Man!"). And, a whole lot of other stuff. By the way, Mark did our intro for this episode even though we said Colt would. Colt, will be next time...if we edit right. Are You Small Town Famousâ„¢?
