The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
The first chord hits and the room lifts. That's the magic Robbie Johnson chases with his country-flavored take on You Shook Me All Night Long—faithful to AC/DC's fire, sparking new life with a searing fiddle solo and tasteful B3 that make crowds throw their hands up without missing the original's bite. We dig into how Robbie and producer Danny Rader protected the heart of the song, why restraint can be a power move in the studio, and how a great mix turns memory into momentum.From there, we wander Nashville's storied halls—Ryman, Union Station, RCA Victor—and trade stories about haunted spaces, legendary sessions, and the way a room shapes a record. Robbie opens up about a chilling encounter from his childhood, and we test the line between superstition and stagecraft. It's a perfect bridge into a bigger theme: places, people, and production choices that define country music's feel.We also get candid about the current landscape. Alan Jackson's farewell celebration, Clint Black's BMI Icon moment, and the Zach Bryan effect—why raw, imperfect recordings can feel truer than polished gloss. We unpack streaming's role in widening country's lanes, how Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton shifted radio's center of gravity, and why wordplay winners like Bar, None stick. The mailbag brings sharp opinions on small venues versus stadiums, the resurgence of vinyl and liner notes, and AI's looming influence on songwriting and sound design. Through it all, we keep returning to what lasts: honest lyrics, smart arrangements, and performances built for sing-alongs you can feel in your chest.Episode LinksChris Lusinger: https://jayfranze.com/episode17/Paul Leim: https://jayfranze.com/episode48/Andy Hull: https://jayfranze.com/episode81/Robby Johnson: https://jayfranze.com/episode95/High Mountain Breezes: https://jayfranze.com/episode113/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/
In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles and Doug welcome back Andy, a school teacher and avid live music fan, to share his an After Show Report on the 2025 Bonnaroo Music Festival. Despite carefully planning his trip with his friend Teddy and driving nine hours to the festival, Andy faced a series of unexpected challenges and adventures. The trip kicks off with a tense interaction with law enforcement when they are pulled over by a Kentucky State Trooper, escalating as a K-9 unit arrives. Fortunately, they are allowed to proceed to Bonnaroo without any legal troubles.Upon arrival, Andy and Teddy set up their elaborate campsite, which included modern amenities like a solar generator and 42-inch TV. The first night involved acclimatizing to the youthful crowd and loud electronic dance music that played until the early hours. Things took a dramatic turn when Teddy experienced a sudden medical emergency and had to leave, promising to return later to pick Andy up. Later, a severe storm brought torrential rains and flooding, leading to the cancellation of the entire festival due to infrastructural failure. Despite disappointment, Andy encountered numerous acts of kindness from fellow festival-goers and eventually managed to get back home safely, albeit with a vivid, unforgettable experience.BANDS: Dogs in a Pile, Eurythmics, Foster the People, Goose, Insane Clown Posse, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Lemon Twigs, Luke Combs, Marcus King, Miranda Lambert, Parisi.VENUES: 2025 Bonnaroo Music Festival.

It’s National Boss’s Day and our coworker gave us a card to sign for our boss. The first person to sign it wrote a paragraph, and we all feel like we have to follow suit. Joey doesn’t want to do that. Kim Kardashian spoke about her relationship with Kanye on the Call Her Daddy Podcast. She said that he once gave away their 5 Lamborghini cars. Joey had an unexpected fishing buddy at the park last night. A guy started fishing near him and they talked a bit. Joey then had the guy help him take each fish he caught off the hook. Joey and Nancy tested Karly on her knowledge of items from the items. She looked at pictures of items and had to guess what they were. Hot Tea: Ella Langley’s new song's cover art seems to be taking a jab at Riley Green and Megan Moroney. Eric Church dedicated a song to his wife during a show, and she was not happy. A guy in California was pulled over for driving with a hand drawn license plate on the car. We gave away a “Lainey’s Night Out” package that includes tickets to the show, a gift card to Gilly’s Western Work, and hair and makeup from TN School of Beauty on the show day. Karly had Joey email one of Taylor Swift’s managers to ask about us interviewing her. The manager called Joey and was very nice, but declined the interview. We are sad, but glad we tried! Lucky 7 Nancy’s son played football and their team lost by a ton. She was making fun of a dad who stayed optimistic until the end even though they were losing. Then she quickly changed it up and said she thought it was great that he was so supportive. We played Rocky Top Roulette to give away tickets to Luke Combs’ show at Neyland Stadium!

On Episode 14 of Steel, we meet Travis Toy, one of Nashville's deepest pedal steel players. Travis has shared the stage and studio with some of modern country's biggest acts, including Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Luke Combs, Steve Wariner and Patty Loveless. Travis is one of the deepest technical practitioners of pedal steel. He's just as comfortable playing a honky tonk gig as he is shredding jazz funk fusion on E9. We discuss his fascinating musical upbringing in Kentucky, his obsession with '90s country and GRP records, how he tries to play things that matter in the studio, and lots more.

Can your community become a creative collaborator without turning your art into committee-designed mediocrity? In this solo episode, I explore proven frameworks for involving your audience in the creative process while maintaining complete artistic control. You'll discover how Amanda Palmer uses early-stage feedback on Patreon to gather emotional responses (not technical critiques), how British singer-songwriter Lynz Crichton turned her entire EP creation into a 90-day collaborative project with her email and social media communities, and how Imogen Heap invited fans to contribute raw materials—sound samples and personal stories—that she transformed into finished songs. I break down practical approaches you can test: the Preview-and-Pivot Framework (used by Luke Combs for “Forever After All”), constraint-based collaboration methods, and systems for turning fan-generated content into strategic assets rather than distractions. This episode also covers the critical boundaries every artist needs: establishing what's open for feedback versus what's locked, retaining veto power over all input, and knowing when to ignore community resistance entirely as you evolve artistically. Whether you're considering a model like Patreon, building an email list, or just wondering how to get useful feedback without compromising your vision, this episode provides actionable frameworks for sustainable creative collaboration.

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?

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
When does a country star get "canceled," and does it even work? In this eye-opening episode, Jay and Tiffany dive into eight notorious country music controversies—from Morgan Wallen's racial slur captured on a doorbell camera to Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13-year-old cousin (which rock music rejected but country music... accepted?). Their candid exploration reveals the strange double standards that exist within different music communities.Beyond cancel culture, we uncover a startling radio industry revelation: 38 of the top 40 most-played country songs weren't even released this year. This leads to a fascinating discussion about why music executives consistently prefer safe, proven sounds over innovation, and how artists like Garth Brooks and Zach Topp initially struggled because they didn't sound like "everything else on the radio."The conversation shifts to exciting industry developments with Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks preparing a Christmas duet album, Jake Owen returning to old-school country sounds, and rising star McCoy Moore who received life-changing advice from Luke Combs when he was just 16. We also highlight Hardy's darker artistic direction with his aptly-named upcoming album "Country, Country, Country."Our question of the day—"Who is an artist more people should know about?"—sparks passionate responses from listeners, with multiple nominations for Chapel Heart and several mentions of previous show guests deserving wider recognition. The episode concludes with thought-provoking mailbag questions addressing everything from live album authenticity to AI's growing role in songwriting, where Jay reveals industry secrets about how "live" recordings are often doctored and fixed before release.Whether you're a dedicated country fan or simply curious about the inner workings of the music industry, this episode offers honest insights into what really happens behind Nashville's curtain.

Luke Combs (Back in the Saddle, Fathers & Sons, What You See Is What You Get) is an award-winning songwriter, singer, and musician. Luke joins the Armchair Expert to discuss Garth Brooks gifting him a surprise truck, why buying a plane is akin to flushing money down the toilet, and still feeling lazy despite everything he's achieved. Luke and Dax talk about his high school music teachers that still come to his shows, assuming that life was getting a job that you hate because he didn't know any different, and that being thankful for what you have and helping others is the antidote to entitlement. Luke explains why we're in international waters in terms of where the music industry is going, how he took having his first studio album at #1 for 44 weeks, and the intrusive thoughts-related form of OCD that he's dealt with all his life.
