Traffic in our city is…a mess. But there is a bright side to having more congestion on the streets. You get more time to have a captivating conversation. TIN host Khalil Ekulona has taken lots of rides with some of our fellow Nashvillians for the Riding Shotgun series. Fortunately, not many of the rides have had us stuck in traffic, but they have been some truly insightful conversations.  For this version of the Best of Riding Shotgun we are going to hang out with some of the music makers in our town. We are music city right? After that, correspondent Chris Crofton will bring a fresh new edition of his opinion piece, Nashville Confidential, where he recounts his recent campaign run for a Metro Council At-Large Seat. Many thanks to Linwood Kirk for providing the music. GUESTS: DTL Jams DJ Stephany Luke Dick Alex Barnes Paul Loren This episode was produced by Khalil Ekulona. Special shout out to Cass Hart who was the first music shotgun ride but somehow her file was lost. We got you next time Cass!

Luke Dick joins Laura and Tracy for a candid and sprawling look at money, songwriting, creativity and family. Luke's winding path has led him through academics, warehouse jobs, an artist deal, songwriting, producing, and movie-making. Ultimately he's emerged as one of the most unique and sought-after songwriter/producers in Nashville. His approach to money puts creativity front and center. His humor and vulnerability make him one of the most engaging guests on the show so far.  Luke Dick was raised in a topless bar and grew up to be a philosophy professor; now he's a songwriter, filmmaker, producer, and new wave bandleader, in no particular order. He has been profiled in Rolling Stone and written chart-topping and award-winning hits such as Miranda Lambert's "Bluebird”, Dierks Bentley's “Burning Man”, and Eric Church's “Kill A Word”, among many others. He also spent some time in NYC writing jingles for HBO's Boardwalk Empire and Hilton hotels. He now lives in Nashville with his two kids, and recently sent another off to college. He enjoys long walks from his backdoor to his garage and has an extensive record and beef jerky collection. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Luke Dick - if you don't know the name (shame on you!), you have definitely heard his work. One of Oklahoma's most prolific music writers in the biz, he works with folks like Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves, and even has a Grammy nomination this year for Miranda Lambert's album, "Palomino." But this multi-faceted auteur has his own albums, and own alter-ego band, Hey Steve! He sat down with the OKPOP Radio Hour before his gig at Mercury Lounge and chatted about growing up in Oklahoma, his music inspiration, and his critically-acclaimed documentary, "Red Dog," which is a love letter not only to his family, but Oklahoma itself. You can't help but feel that Okie influence in his music, taking listeners on a ride from slow-burning, heartfelt tunes with a tinge of honky-tonk, to gleefully absurdist high-energy, sing-along jams. Watch out, y'all, Luke Dick is gonna take over the world one day…

SUMMARY:Our guest on this episode of Songcraft is Natalie Hemby, a six-time Grammy nominee and two-time winner who has earned five CMA Song of the Year nominations and was named Music Row magazine's 2021 Female Songwriter of the Year. Her songs have been recorded by Kacey Musgraves, Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Maren Morris, Ed Sheeran, Sheryl Crow, Dierks Bentley, Eli Young Band, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Isaak, Blake Shelton, Lee Ann Womack, and many others. We last spoke with Natalie in 2017, but we catch up with her today to find out more about her life as a behind the scenes songwriter, her work with supergroup The Highwomen, and her critically-acclaimed solo album Pins and Needles. PART ONE - 2:49Scott and Paul chat about Pearl Snap Studios and set the stage for this very special "old friends" episode.PART TWO - 6:02They guys welcome longtime friend and fellow music geek David Manning to argue about beloved songs that they actually hate. PART THREE - 39:20Our in-depth conversation with Natalie HembyABOUT NATALIE HEMBY:When we first spoke with Natalie Hemby in 2017 she'd already racked up three CMA Song of the Year nominations and written a half dozen #1 singles, including “Pontoon” and “Tornado” by Little Big Town, “Downtown” by Lady A, “You Look Like I Need a Drink” by Justin Moore, and Miranda Lambert's “White Liar” and “Automatic,” the latter of which was named ACM Song of the Year and snagged Natalie her first Grammy nomination for Best Country Song. In the five years since then, her songwriting star has continued to rise. She co-wrote three songs on Kacey Musgraves' Golden Hour, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year—across all categories—and earned Natalie a CMA Song of the Year nomination for “Rainbow.” Natalie co-wrote two songs with Lady Gaga for the soundtrack to A Star is Born, including Song of the Year Grammy nominee “Always Remember Us This Way” and the Grammy winner for Best Song Written for Visual Media, “I'll Never Love Again.” She has scored additional #1 hits with Jon Pardi's “Heartache Medication,” as well as Miranda Lambert's “Bluebird,” which was nominated for both CMA and ACM Song of the Year, and the Best Country Song Grammy. Natalie beat herself in that Grammy category when she won the Best Country Song honors for “Crowded Table,” which she wrote with Lori McKenna and Brandi Carlile. The song was recorded by the supergroup The Highwomen, of which Natalie is a member alongside Carlile, Marren Morris, and Amanda Shires. “Crowded Table” was also named Song of the Year by the Americana Music Association, while The Highwomen won Americana Album of the Year and Duo or Group of the Year. Recent pop cuts, including Kelly Clarkson's “I Dare You” and Ed Sheeran's “Love in Slow Motion,” illustrate Natalie's versatility and underscore why she was named Music Row magazine's 2021 Female Songwriter of the Year. In addition to her work with The Highwomen, Natalie's been flexing her considerable artist muscles recently with the release of her album Pins and Needles, which PopMatters calls “a phenomenal album from an artist coming into full possession of her gifts.”

Hit songwriter/artist Luke Dick is one of the creative people in Nashville that keeps music interesting for us. His left-of-center perspective shows up in hits he’s co-written for Eric Church (“Kill a Word”), Dierks Bentley (“Burning Man”), Kacey Musgraves ("Velvet Elvis") and he just received his first Grammy Nomination for Country Song of the Year for co-writing “Bluebird” with Miranda Lambert and Natalie Hemby. For what is surely his most personal project to date, Luke enlisted Dierks, Miranda, Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, The Highwomen’s Natalie Hemby and Jackson Dean to help him create the album Music from the Documentary Red Dog. On both the album and in the film, Red Dog, Luke and his mom, Kim, tell the story of the people at Oklahoma City’s Red Dog Saloon, the topless bar where Kim worked as a dancer when Luke was a kid. In this conversation, Luke tells us what inspired him to create the Red Dog documentary and album, how he found his people in Nashville’s music community, and how he keeps challenging himself to grow creatively.

Political language can have a significant impact on how we understand one another and on how we react to other countries.  I think this week is an opportunity to take time to focus on political language.  We will take an abstract view of its use and influence in our social world.  Thank you for subscribing, and if you enjoy reading this, please forward the newsletter to your friends.  ~ Kevin One of my favorite country songwriting teams is Eric Church, Jeff Hyde, and Luke Dick.   A few years ago, they came out with a song called “Kill a Word”.  It is very clever and well written.  It explores the role language plays in our social world and argues for killing words like “hate”.  I have described it to friends as a mix of ideas with a spin on outlaw country killing.  It is interesting to think about.  The influence of language is something I go back and forth on and, to be honest, I have not resolved everything in my mind, though I enjoy thinking about it.  Nothing sparked my interest in this area more than my time at FIU, which is home to the study of language in international politics.  For example, Nicholas Onuf emphasizes the role of language in social interaction, including establishing rule and rules.  The rules are simply the laws and social norms and the rule is the power that reinforces or forms the rules. We are distinct individuals who interact with each other in various ways and a major part of that interaction is through language.  We relate, convey important things, joke, signal, direct, accept, and a whole range of things through the language we use.  Sometimes it takes just one word.  However, we know what we say is heard by others who may, but likely may not, hear or think the same way as the person speaking.  This can lead to regular misperception and misunderstanding that can be magnified when one of the parties wants to be misunderstood.  However, suspending intent, understanding is challenging.  Take for example the meaning of the word “literal”.  Depending on the context, and sometimes the age of the speaker, it can mean something specific or general. Possibly because it is frequently used in sarcasm, the meaning of literal has evolved to mean the opposite of what it used to mean.  The point of this illustration is that language is dynamic, and the meaning of words can change in many ways.  However, contrary to what I think my Constructivist friends would like to hear, it does not change as frequently as we notice and assume.  We see language in politics as both a medium of interaction and a way to influence other interaction.  Interestingly we pay attention to some forms of speech in different ways.  The medium of interaction in speeches and committee hearings is consequential in the formulation of policy.  We can call that the legal rule area. However, we focus considerable energy on the interaction from the way others influence and use language.  This is what we can call the norm rule area.  This involves protesting and constant bickering online.  As a society, we focus a lot more attention on the norm rule, bickering form of language. I suspect this is because some language elicits more of an emotional response. I think this is another area where our emotions, and those who stoke them, can distract us from one form of rules. I expect that more people fall asleep while watching C-SPAN congressional hearings than seeing a debate on cable news. In fact, there are norms in both areas that have little temperament for one type of behavior in another area. Who wants to hear a committee report read to them at a political rally? Regarding international political speech, one of the areas I am most interested in is how countries define each other and the degree of threat perception. Some of this is related to capabilities and history but there is also an important role of perception that is heard, interpreted, and shared through language. These definitions both mobilize and constrain relations among countries. For example, in pockets of the U.S., the perception of Russia distinctively shifted over the last four years, in ways that had not existed for over two decades. Will that perception of Russia significantly constrain the Biden administration in its policy choices in balancing against a rising China? I do not know the answer to that question but, perhaps with time, that perception may change. In fact, it may occur in parallel to the negotiations updating the New START Treaty. To me, this question illustrates how perceptions formed by language can be both static and dynamic. When looking at the constant social and political interactions of language there are plenty of opportunities to be confused and frustrated. I have collected a few thoughts that may help navigate the subject. Hopefully, this can provide an opportunity to help reflect on language and its unique role in our relationships and politics. Some general observations on language: Language reflects individuals and groups; it also influences them Those who speak things you agree or disagree with have about as much causal influence as others Expect higher standards for rule makers and what they say, but be more patient with others around you “It is not enough to show how clever we are by showing how obscure everything is." ― J.L. Austin “Language disguises thought.”― Ludwig Wittgenstein "Always remember that it is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood: there will always be some who misunderstand you."— Karl Popper You can’t kill a word News: I look forward to exploring language in politics in more detail and, as situations arise, the opportunity to apply these ideas. I am enjoying the chance to share these newsletters with you in the form of the new podcasts and appreciate your continued feedback.

The duo's self titled album is an album about romantic love expressed with sophisticated musicality, smart songs and great sound. Byrd and Kokesh include songs written with and by Amy Speace, Anthony da Costa, Carey West, Corin Raymond, Anais Mitchell, Rob Vaarmeyer, Luke Dick, and the late Jack Hardy. MELISSA FERRICK signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-�90s. Ferrick was part of a new wave of alt-rock females�including artists like Liz Phair, PJ Harvey and college-mate Paula Cole�who sang about womanhood with sharp, unchecked honesty. Morrissey proved an early champion when he personally invited her to tour as his opening act, and Ferrick eventually went on to found her own label and release a string of albums and EPs (more than 16 to date) in which she played almost every instrument herself. She tours regularly and plays to packed houses across the U.S. Her latest is 'the truth is' on MPress Records.
