My special guests today are Eddie Paul and Chris "Freight Train" Floyd, bandmates from The Mighty Train Wrecks! Nashville's own, The Mighty Train Wrecks, was built around the original songwriting and vocal harmony blend of Eddie Paul and Chris "Freight Train" Floyd. A formative four-year residency at the iconic Bobby's Idle Hour on Music Row cemented their reputation as a band worth seeing. Since 2014 they have delivered original, high-octane, and soulful Americana music to appreciative audiences. Along the way, they have garnered successes like being featured in an interview on the renowned WSM AM 650 radio show with Devon O'Day, WDVX's Blue Plate Special, and three times on Channel 4, WSMV's Today In Nashville Show. The Wreck's musical ethos is a mix of Jimmy Rodgers, Merle Haggard, Grateful Dead, and The Band, leavened by a sprinkling of Little Feat and Muddy Waters. Freight Train and Eddie look forward to entertaining your audience as a duo, trio, or fiery five-piece! Stay tuned, as a sophomore CD project, with all new songs, will be available soon!

Episode 256: Vince Gill and Paul Franklin, titans of Nashville music, first recorded together in 1989 and have been friends even longer than that. Gill is of course a Country Music Hall of Famer, while Franklin is in a different Hall of Fame - for the pedal steel guitar. Over the years in the studio and on stage, they've made the most of the euphoric blend of the voice, guitar, and steel, which is where Gill says he locates the very heart of country music. Ten years ago they made Bakersfield, honoring the songs of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. Now they've teamed up for Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price and the Cherokee Cowboys, a set that covers the great singer's phases from old-school honky tonk to luxurious countrypolitan. I visited Vince's home studio for a wide-ranging conversation.

This week we welcome Leona Williams! Leona Williams was destined to become a Country Music Entertainer. She landed her first radio show at the age of 15, simply called "Leona Sings" in Jefferson City, Missouri. That journey would take her all over the world and allow her to sing before thousands and thousands of Country Music fans. Leona moved to Nashville in the late 1960s from a small town in Missouri called Vienna, and was soon recording for Hickory Records with such hits as "Once More" and "Yes Ma'am, He Found Me In A Honky Tonk". Since then, Leona has traveled worldwide and opened shows for some of country music's top entertainers and made numerous personal appearances at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Leona later teamed up with Merle Haggard for a top ten duet called "The Bull and the Beaver" and a duet album followed called HEART TO HEART. During this time, she would write some of Merle's biggest hits including "You Take Me For Granted" and "Someday When Things Are Good." Leona, a Missouri native, was inducted into the Country Music Association of Texas Hall of Fame in 1999. She was also honored with the prestigious George D. Hay Award in 2002 and was also inducted into the Missouri Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2011, Leona was awarded "Entertainer of the Year" by R.O.P.E. (Reunion of Professional Entertainers). Whether in a recording studio, dance or concert hall or on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, Leona Williams always gives her very best to her fans and her music. She definitely presents a special class to the world of Country Music. For more information visit her website: LeonaWilliams.com.

A decade ago, Vince Gill and Paul Franklin recorded Bakersfield, a tribute to the raw-boned country music that came out of the rough-and-rowdy clubs patronized by oil-field hands and agricultural workers in the '50s and early '60s—packed with songs by Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. And we visited with them for a Rig Rundown then.Now, just for the good times, these two legends of modern country music—the real deal kind—have recorded Sweet Memories: The Music of Ray Price & The Cherokee Cowboys. Price was known for his warm, baritone approach to melody, which is a perfect springboard for Gill's and Franklin's nuanced approaches to their own instruments.If you don't know Gill's work, it's about time you got informed. He has won more CMA Awards than any performer in history, plus 21 Grammys. He's also sold more than 21-million albums and is currently in the Eagles, where his sweet tenor voice and skill with harmonies makes him a perfect match. (You can also hear Gill talk about his work on Cory Wong's Wong Notes podcast, from November 2020.)Although Franklin spends his time over the pedal steel, this artist is no slouch. He's played on more than 500 albums, has been named Best Steel Guitarist by the Academy of Country Music multiple times, and is in the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame and the Musician's Hall of Fame. Franklin is the most nominated artist in CMA history. He is also a member of Grammy-winning outfit the Time Jumpers.Along with the PG video team, I met them at Gill's Nashville studio, where they recorded Sweet Memories. The goal: to get a close-up look at Franklin's steel rig and some of the incredible acoustic guitars Gill used on this album.Brought to you by D'Addario XS Strings.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. So, if you like what you read, please consider a paid subscription. And yes, I do speaking engagements.]This past May, country star Jason Aldean released a new song called “Try That in a Small Town,” which has lyrics that are—there's really no nice way to say this—corny as hell. I've been listening to country music all my life, and I gotta say that Mr. Aldean's latest single sounds as though ChatGPT were asked to write an excessively generic bro country song sung by a white nationalist and this is what we got. There are many commentators correctly pointing out that the song amounts to a symphony of racist dog whistles, but also: I just find it so incredibly boring as to be tedious beyond belief.“Bro country” as a sub-genre tends to be tedious because it prioritizes commercial value to a specific demographic—aggrieved, conservative white men—over storytelling, which, in my humble opinion, is what historically makes country music so damn compelling. I grew up watching CMT (Country Music Television) and listening to country radio, and I firmly believe the ‘90s were a golden age for the genre. George Strait, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, etc. — so many catalogues chock-full of superb storytelling. And yet, even that cohort pales in comparison to the greats who became before them: Alabama, Dolly Parton, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, etc. etc. etc. (I'm just rattling these off in no particular order, so please don't get on me for not including one of your faves.)Anyway, in more capable hands, country is a high art and fun as hell. Bro country, on the other hand, is off-brand fast food produced with the specific intention of placating insecure, white, conservative men who perceive the genre as a bastion for their beliefs in a changing world.About two weeks ago, Mr. Aldean released a music video for his new single that left no doubt as to what he was attempting to communicate via the lyrics he sings (but did not write, which ain't that surprising given that Mr. Aldean hasn't written any of his singles since 2009).The music video—which I will not link here but you're than welcome to google it—has Mr. Aldean singing with his band in front of the Maury County Courthouse in Nashville, TN while a montage of violent scenes from protests against white supremacy are projected on the building. The intent of this imagery is very clear: Mr. Aldean is attempting to pander to white nationalists who believe that Black Lives Matter protestors are, somehow, a threat to The Heartland™ and that, somehow, “small towns” are shining beacons of patriotic light in the chaos.It doesn't help that, as many commentators have pointed out, the Maury County Courthouse is the site of the 1927 lynching of Henry Choate, a Black teenager who was murdered by a white mob after being falsely accused of raping a young white woman.The song and video together essentially equate protesting white supremacy with violent crime whilst simultaneously threatening said protestors with violence if they ever do “try that in a small town.”You get the picture. It's racist as f**k, and it should be called out as such.It's so bad, in fact, that CMT pulled the video from rotation only four days after its release, which, in case you're wondering, is extremely rare. So, not great, to say the very least, but there's something else to all this that I believe isn't being discussed enough: what exactly is a “small town”?According to a 2020 report from the U.S. Census Bureau (“America: A Nation of Small Towns”), incorporated places of the small variety are defined as having a population of less than 5,000 residents. Interestingly, under that definition, the report points out that 76 percent of the nation's population live in small towns, and more than 40 percent live in towns with a population of less than 500. Thus, if you randomly pick a resident of the United States at random, it is more than likely that person lives in a small town. Even more interestingly: Jason Aldean is not one of them and never has been. Mr. Aldean was born and raised in Macon, Georgia — which, at more than 157,000 residents, is the fourth largest city in the state and ranks #166 nationally. That may not seem all that high up until you consider it's out of 19,500 incorporated places in the United States. That means Macon has a bigger population than 98.5 percent of places in our country, which isn't too surprising if you know anything about Macon. It has not one but TWO airports. It has six hospitals. It has five college campuses. It has robust local media, print and television. But here's the biggest clue that Macon isn't a “small town”: tens of millions of folks who've never visited Macon have at least heard of it. It's referenced in Margaret Mitchell's “Gone With the Wind” and in a “Simpsons” episode and in countless books on the Civil War given that Macon was the official arsenal of the Confederacy.Mr. Aldean did spend summers with his father in Homestead, Florida — which has a population of over 80,000. That's still a far cry from being a “small town” and even moreso when you consider that it's a suburb of Miami and has a population density several times that of Macon.Mr. Aldean's entire professional career has been spent in Atlanta (pop. 498,715) and Nashville (pop. 689,447), so there's ain't any help there, either. So, it has to be asked: is Mr. Aldean confused? He could be, and I think I may have found a clue as to why.Mr. Aldean, who has shaped his career around projecting the image of a good ole boy from simple beginnings, is an alum of the Windsor Academy, a K-12 private school in Macon that has a not-so-cheap tuition price tag of nearly $9,000 annually for every student in 5th grade and above. Hey, don't worry, y'all: the Windsor Academy has a rigorous financial aid program and offers limited scholarships. Of course, if a student's family does fall behind on tuition payments, barring extraordinary circumstances, they're ineligible to receive financial aid until satisfying delinquent payments.I bring this up because the full student body, across all grades, K-12, is just over 300 students. This could be the reason Mr. Aldean believes he relates to small town life: the vantage point of his small private school experience.So, essentially, with Mr. Aldean, what we have here is a prep school dilettante who was raised in a big city, singing a song he didn't write about an experience he never had, accompanied with a music video of which much of the footage was filmed in Canada.Mr. Aldean has about as much credibility describing the “small town” experience as I would have working alongside the professionals of a NASCAR pit crew, and trust me, folks: you sure as hell don't want me doing that. I respect my limitations.Listen, y'all, this isn't supposed to be literal. We all sense that. Mr. Aldean is not really attempting to describe actual “small town” life. He's trying to pander to a specific feeling of a particular demographic that happily codes their bigotry with information shortcuts.“Small town” does not mean a place that is literally small; it's a symbol of a passed society for which Mr. Aldean and like-minded folks openly pine. It's openly fantasizing for a time in which there was no question that folks who look like Mr. Aldean called all the shots. But even aside from the biggest problem here—the racist bullhorn aspect—it's also just incredibly insulting to folks who live in small towns. It's condescending. It's infantilizing. The vast majority of folks who live in small towns don't feel threatened by those who are different from them. They don't solve their problems with violence. It erases people of color (particularly Black folks), LGBTQ people, religious minorities, and social progressives who are just as much apart of small town life (and always have been).That's what's most glaring about Mr. Aldean's pandering: it's obvious he simply doesn't know the folks who live in small towns beyond his tourism.In 2017, Mr. Aldean was performing onstage at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival when a mass shooter opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, murdering 60 people. It is still the deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman in American history.I don't blame Mr. Aldean one bit for his response in that moment. I truly don't. He could have used his microphone to urge folks to seek cover. He could have rushed into the crowd to save folks or administer aid. Instead, he ran backstage. I would have done the same thing. I think most folks would. I don't think I would have had the wherewithal to be immediately helpful in that chaos.Then again, I would never release a song, six years later, suggesting otherwise, and that's partly the problem here. Let's hope Mr. Aldean embraces the concept of extending grace and nuance toward others as much as he expects it for himself.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

SUMMARY:We chat with Ashley Gorley who, with more #1 singles than any writer in any genre, is the reigning king of country music songwriters. PART ONE:Paul and Scott discuss the state of contemporary country music, the way the genre has come to dominate the pop chart, and the rapidly-changing nature of what's the most popular song at any given moment.PART TWO:Our in-depth conversation with Ashley GorleyABOUT ASHLEY GORLEY:With an unprecedented track record of nearly 70 chart-topping country hits, Ashley Gorley is perhaps the most commercially successful songwriter in history. He has written more #1 singles than anyone in any genre, and has had over 400 of his songs recorded by artists such as Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton, Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Kelsea Ballerini, Lee Brice, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Bon Jovi, and Weezer. Ashley has been named ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year nine times, Billboard Country Songwriter of the Year six times, and NSAI Songwriter of the Year six times. He was then named NSAI Songwriter of the Decade for the period ranging from 2010-2019. Additionally, Ashley was honored as the Top Male Songwriter of 2021—across all genres—by the National Music Publishers Association. In 2023 the NMPA honored him with their icon award for non-performing songwriters. The multiple CMA, ACM, and Grammy nominee has received the CMA's Triple Play Award 20 times in his career, which recognizes songwriters with three or more #1 songs in a single year. In 2016, Ashley became the first songwriter to be honored with three CMA Triple Play Awards in a single year for earning nine chart-topping songs in a 12-month period. He repeated that feat in 2020 and again in 2022. This year, Gorley was announced as ACM Songwriter of the Year, also taking home the Song of the Year award and celebrating three Song of the Year nominations, placing him in rare company with Kris Kristofferson and Merle Haggard, the only other songwriters to achieve the same feat in a single year. In addition to his decorated career as a songwriter, Ashley launched his own music publishing company, Tape Room Music, with a writer roster that has earned nearly 40 #1 hits. 

Merle Haggard was what authorities liked to call a “repeat offender.” He was arrested for riding trains, for skipping school, for stealing cars, for robbing gas stations, and for attempting to knock over a restaurant – during the Christmas Eve rush. He was committed to juvenile halls, correctional facilities, and reform schools 17 times, and 17 times he escaped. When he was arrested for the final time, he was sent to do hard time at San Quentin. He turned 21 in prison. And it was in prison that he found the freedom he'd been running towards his whole life – freedom that was delivered from an unlikely source.

Singer, songwriter, DJ and producer Eli “Paperboy” Reed has spent a lifetime mining the deep vein of Americana — from soul to country to gospel. He has put out eight albums of his own over the past 20 years, including last year's “Down Every Road,” a funky tribute to Merle Haggard. He has mentored and produced the group The Harlem Gospel Travelers, and released a long-buried recording by Cleveland blues musician Fred Davis that was actually recorded by his father 50 years earlier. And this fall he will be putting out a compilation of his 45s called “Hits and Misses: The Singles.” He's teased that with an amazing soul cover of Motörhead's “Ace of Spades,” of all things. Today he joins us to talk about his life in music.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

We're back in the kitchen here on the Cadillac Jack: My Second Act podcast and let me tell you, we brought the heat. (No really, Donna's mic is a little hot) In all seriousness it's a great episode of the Act as Caddy and Donna Jack dive into all your favorite topics. First up we have birthdays and Amazon purchases. Caddy claims he has never used the Mom and Pop store while Donna wants to know who is tracking their cats. Then we move onto a memorial service for Richard the Beaver which is, honestly, just heartbreaking. Big boy go bye bye. From there we hit the Merle Haggard sex-picade storyline. How could we not? The country artist spent a few days and many nights holed up by the lake with a companion. So, yeah, we have some ideas. We round out the show with moles and sales figures. It'll make you sick. Call us like the family we are. 7704646024.

Welcome to the latest Q&A episode of The Russell Moore Show, which addresses a question we all want answered: is every question submitted to the show theological or political? As it turns out, the answer is no! Our first question today is about none other than Johnny Cash, which leads to a discussion of Merle Haggard and even Nine Inch Nails.  If you came for the heavier stuff, though, never fear. This episode also includes producer Ashley Hales and Russell talking about Christian Nationalism, the Democratic Party, and the MAGA movement. Their conversation covers pastoring, witnessing in the digital environment, and delineating between moralism and Scripture application.  Questions addressed during this episode include: What are Russell's thoughts on Johnny Cash's American Recordings? What concrete steps does Russell recommend for pastors, lay leaders, and churchgoers who love their churches but see them as having been co-opted by individualism, consumerism, and Christian Nationalism?  Does Russell ever wonder if he's being used as a pawn by Democratic Party supporters? How can a pastor address the far-right MAGA movement that's taken hold in his congregation?  What does it look like to witness to coworkers in our new digital environment? Especially when it comes to teaching children, how can we delineate between moralism and Scripture application? How can the dignity of youth ministry be restored? What introductory apologetics books does Russell recommend? What should a church member do when new leadership holds a differing position on sexuality and marriage?  How can we reconcile two opposing views, such as conflicting opinions on baptism, in one church? Did Paul sin by not asking Philemon to emancipate Onesimus? Resources mentioned in this episode include: American Recordings by Johnny Cash Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (cover) Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture by Lesslie Newbigin Jonathan Rauch Christ and the Bible by John Wenham  The writings of Richard Bauckham The writings of Peter J.

I had no idea that the vehicle to take me on this journey would be music however. Of course I loved the idea of it as a child, but it seemed like a dream or a movie that I wasn't qualified to experience. Thanksfully I was wrong! My quest began as a guitar player. Then as a guitar player who could sing. After that, a guitar player who could sing and write songs. After that, an actual musician who could communicate with other musicians (and who wasn't the least proficient player in his own band ;).....Through each version of myself, there have been many life AND music lessons. For ever small success, there was a greater one waiting around the corner. Music took me out of my small, bleak neighborhood and showed me the world. It introduced me to other cultures, taught me history, and opened my eyes to the levels of potential that we can reach as both artists and people. It introduced me to some of the most talented, creative, and kind people on the planet. Music has provided me a safe space to express myself and it has inspired me to be a more open and vulnerable man. Along the way, music has given me many great stories and experiences to share. As 2024 approaches, I am back at it; sharing my stories and songs (as well as some of my favorite songs by others) anywhere folks will listen. I hope to perform for you soon! ~AdamSome folks I've had the honor of working with on stage or in studio include:Lloyd GreenWayne MossDoug KershawDale WatsonBig SandyBill KirchenByron Berlineand many many more...I have performed my own music live in the U.S. , Belgium, and The Netherlands, and have sold records across the world: Japan, Australia, Europe, and moreSongs I love to cover come from the artists I love most: Ray Price, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, Texas Tornados, Wynn Stewart, Merle Haggard, Del Reeves, Bob Wills, Johnny Cash, etc.
