In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with legendary session drummer Paul Leim, whose six-decade career quietly powers a staggering piece of the soundtrack to our lives. Paul has played on more than 12,000 songs across over 2,000 releases, with 1,400+ silver/gold/platinum certifications, and global sales topping 540 million units. His discography encompasses over 150 combined GRAMMY nominations and wins, as well as 40+ major film/TV awards, and credits on more than 150 films and 100 television specials and series. If you've heard Lionel Richie, Shania Twain, Lyle Lovett, Kenny Chesney, Whitney Houston—or cues from Dirty Dancing, Smokey and the Bandit II, The River, or even Return of the Jedi, you've likely heard Paul.We trace the arc from East Texas clubs and Dallas jingle mills to late-'70s Los Angeles, where a “typical” week meant two complete drum rigs leapfrogging between Lionel Richie sessions, network TV soundstages, film dates, and award shows. Paul talks mentors and “angels” (band director Neil Grant, Robin Hood Brians, Doc Severinsen), lifelong friendships with the TCB family (Ron Tutt, Jerry Scheff), and lessons that still anchor his playing—especially dynamic control and “letting the mics work.” We get inside the high-wire reality of studio life. Paul calls it “95% boredom and 5% sheer terror”, including how to read conductors, when to lead the time, and when to ride it, and what it's like to move from live kit to orchestral percussion with John Williams.There are great shop-floor stories: cutting Lionel's “Truly” and counseling Lionel at the fork-in-the-road moment of leaving the Commodores; discovering that Lyle Lovett's “The Blues Walk” was gloriously vocal-free; and a deep dive into the precision world of Mutt Lange and Shania, ending bass notes just before the snare for mix “air,” the chrome-over-brass “important” snare, and the on-the-fly invention of tom “Mutt flaps” for short, open fills. Paul also shares a personal fork he chose differently: turning down a James Taylor tour to be home with his young family, only to hand JT the final serial-numbered Leim signature snare decades later at the White House.Today, Paul is still very much in motion: bandleading the TCB Band in Europe, steering The Tennessee Four with Thomas Gabriel to carry the Cash legacy, and jumping into Million Dollar Quartet shows—proof that the hang, the humility, and the groove endure. It's a conversation about craft, friendship, stewardship of a gift, and the choices that shape both a career and a life.Music from the Episode:Pick it Apart (Mark O'Connor)Truly (Lionel Richie)The Blues Walk (Lyle Lovett)Thank you for listening.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
What actually earns a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame—longevity, hits, or the kind of influence that changes what country sounds like? We dig into the real criteria and test the hype with a clear-eyed look at names like Alison Krauss, Brad Paisley, Crystal Gayle, Dwight Yoakam, Faith Hill, and more. Some feel overdue, others feel inevitable, and a few favorites might benefit from time cooking into legacy. With only three inductees selected each year across rotating categories, the bar isn't just high—it's selective by design.From there, we zoom out to what's shaping country now. Kenny Chesney's high-tech Sphere dates raise the production ceiling, George Strait's long-awaited stadium return brings tradition back to center stage, and Chris Young's new label era hints at a refreshed voice with deeper songwriting. We swap stories about artist rivalries, the power of small-venue touring, and how TV platforms keep catalog songs alive with surprising new performances. We also spotlight rising talent like Brian Fuller and revisit the studio lineage that built the modern sound—John and Martina McBride's Blackbird Studios, Tony Brown's classic touch, and Dan Huff's guitar-forward polish.Then we put our money where our mouth is: can AI co-write and produce a track that stands up to human-made? We fed it detailed direction—anthemic chorus, dynamic bridge, specific drum feel, vocal phrasing, even the final held note and guitar tag—and got a shockingly usable demo. It still can't replace a seasoned session leader's judgment or the nuance of live players, but as a demo engine for indie artists, it's a game-changer. Try twenty ideas fast, pick the strongest, and take that one to the studio with confidence.Episode LinksJeff King: https://jayfranze.com/episode6/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/MaKenzie Phipps: https://jayfranze.com/episode73/Bruce Tarletsky: https://jayfranze.com/episode81/Robby Johnson: https://jayfranze.com/episode95/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Consulting: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

The camera can only see what is inside the toilet, not your body. Lucky 7 New updates have come out of the investigation of the little girl who fell off the Disney cruise ship a while back. It turns out that her mom was the one encouraging her to sit on the railing. The dad didn’t know what was happening until he heard the mom scream. That is when he jumped in after the girl.

With 27 number one hits among his 500+ released songs, Brett's legacy includes classics like "Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood and "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney. His story reminds us how the unexpected paths we choose can lead to extraordinary impact.We dive into the ongoing story of Farm Aid, Willie Nelson's fundraiser supporting farming communities facing economic pressure. The recent Minneapolis concert featured legends like Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Bob Dylan, continuing a tradition that has responded to agricultural crises since the 1980s. Similarly, Luke Bryan's Farm Tour celebrates a decade of bringing music to rural America while collecting food donations for those in need.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore artists who sound like others or from different eras. From Lainey Wilson echoing Miranda Lambert to Harry Connick Jr. channeling Frank Sinatra, these musical connections reveal how influence travels through generations of performers. Listeners share their own observations, creating a compelling tapestry of how country music continually evolves while honoring its roots.Current artist updates include Lainey Wilson canceling a show due to vocal issues, Brett Eldredge announcing his holiday Glow Live Tour, and Thomas Rhett expecting his fifth child.

Loss has a way of reordering priorities and bringing perspective like nothing else can. When Nashville songwriting legend Brett James died in a plane crash, our podcast world was rocked to its core – and it came just weeks after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This special episode captures our raw, unfiltered processing of grief in real-time. Brett wasn't just a songwriter with over 500 recorded songs and hits for artists like Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney. He was our friend, our collaborator, and a true champion for others in an industry that can sometimes breed competition and ego.We share personal stories that capture Brett's essence – from his legendary good looks and perfect hair (even after wearing a motorcycle helmet) to his genuine kindness and support for young songwriters. The stories flow naturally as we remember writing sessions, performances, and even a memorable plane ride with Brett piloting. His recent social media post now feels prophetic: "Now's a good time to tell the people that you love, you love 'em."The conversation takes unexpected turns as we process not just Brett's passing but also Charlie Kirk's assassination and the remarkable forgiveness shown by Kirk's wife at his memorial service. We explore the spiritual dimensions of these losses and how they've clarified what truly matters – relationships, faith, and not taking people for granted.Whether you knew Brett James or not, this episode offers a powerful reminder about living intentionally and expressing love while we can. As we navigate our grief together, we hope these reflections might help others processing their own losses or reconsidering what truly matters in life.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!
