The long-awaited memoir from country music legend, Clint Black-a raw, intimate, and unflinching story that traces his rise from struggling songwriter to chart-topping superstar and enduring music legend.Over twenty million records sold. Twenty-two number one career singles. 31 top ten singles. Nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards. Countless CMA and ACM awards. A Grammy Award. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When it comes to modern music, few artists have had a bigger or more lasting impact than Clint Black. Since bursting onto the country music scene in 1989 with Killin' Time-the triple-platinum debut that delivered five consecutive number one singles-Black has built a genre-defining career spanning nearly four decades. Having written the soundtrack of a generation, Clint now puts pen to paper to write, for the first time, the story of the man behind the music.In his long-awaited memoir, Black shares the unfiltered, extraordinary account of his journey from a kid with a dream on the outskirts of Houston to a country music legend. From his near-death experiences as a young boy, to his decision to drop out of high school to pursue music, to countless years struggling as an unknown young artist, playing at any nightclub or hotel bar that would have him, Black's path to success had more twists than the Texas two-step.Once fame hit and the stakes got higher, Black didn't let the pressure of big crowds, big money, or big labels steer him off course. By writing from the heart and sticking to his guns, he built a legacy on his own terms. These values proved to be Black's north star navigating superstardom, including a difficult lawsuit against his ex-manager, Bill Ham; subsequently founding his own record label; recording with heroes such as Jimmy Buffett, Merle Haggard, and Eric Idle; his whirlwind romance and everlasting marriage with actress Lisa Hartman Black; and most recently, a critical issue with a cervical spine injury, which threatened the very thing that made him a star: his voice.With vivid, deeply personal stories-all told with Black's signature charm-he recounts how his steadfast dedication to his beliefs and his passion for music led him to success after success, and through storm after storm. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Killin' Time is a revelatory and rare glimpse of the iconic life and career of a once in a generation talent.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Some musicians play music… and some musicians create a sound. Augie Meyers did both. And if you've ever heard that unmistakable Vox organ, you know exactly what I mean. Every now and then, Texas gives the world a musician whose sound becomes part of our musical DNA. Augie Meyers was one of those rare artists. From San Antonio to stages around the world, his music helped define the sound of Texas rock and roll. Close your eyes for a moment and imagine the Texas music scene of the 1960s… the rhythm, the energy, and that unforgettable organ. Chances are, you're hearing Augie Meyers. I had the privilege of knowing Augie not just as a legendary musician, but as a wonderful human being. Here is my conversation with a true Texas original… the one and only Augie Meyers.

In this episode, we sit down with Caleb Ferede, known artistically as Luchalemé, a DC-born Italo Ethiopian artist bridging cultures and generations through sound. His music lives in the space between worlds — between heritage and modernity, between love and loss, between where he comes from and where he's headed.Through soulful R&B, alternative pop, and world-inspired rhythms, Luchaleme-e creates music that feels deeply personal yet culturally rooted. Every lyric carries the weight of identity, migration, memory, and belonging — honoring not just his journey, but the stories of those who came before him.A major influence in his life has been his father, who worked closely with Ethiopian music legends like Teddy Afro and with powerhouse production platforms such as Nahom Records. Growing up around that level of artistry and cultural impact gave Caleb firsthand insight into excellence, responsibility, and what it truly means to represent Habesha culture through sound.We talk about the history of Ethiopian music, why it feels so spiritual and emotional, and how artists make listeners not just hear music — but feel it. He breaks down his creative process, why he makes the music he makes, and how he balances honoring tradition while building something entirely his own.The warmth of Ethiopia, the romance of Italy, and the pulse of modern America coexist in his sound — not as separate identities, but as one heartbeat.This episode is about legacy, lineage, fatherhood influence, and learning how to carry your culture forward while carving your own lane as a young Habesha artist.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039FOLLOW ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1Luchalemé's Socials:TIKTOK:https://www.tiktok.com/@calebmascaro?_r=1&_t=ZP-94Cm1wc172lINSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/luchaleme?igsh=MTAwZnRreHl4azE1Zw==LISTEN ON SPOTIFY HERE: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1VjOgZ9xn3pD7C0xcj4Gjk?si=k1r4iP07RGW0W2YfOyCs4QTIMESTAMPS:00:00 Preview00:14 Intro1:35 Who Is Luchalemé?2:29 Born Here Or Back Home? 3:11 Are Habesha Genetics Actually Weak??3:42 The Truth About His Italian Roots4:57 What He's Really Ambitious About5:38 The Moment Music Took Over His Life8:26 Is Shiro A Struggle Meal???9:06 Famous Artists Coming To His House10:12 How He Learned Multiple Instruments11:20 Telling Habesha Parents You Want to Do Music14:00 The Film That Got Banned in Ethiopia15:30 Inside His Music Making Process19:42 His Biggest Musical Influence21:43 Why Music Makes Us Feel What Words Can't23:40 How He Makes People Feel His Content28:03 The Hardest Truth About Making Music29:39 How the Community Really Reacted32:08 Chipotle vs Mezeh vs CAVA34:00 Hot Takes On DMV Music And Rap40:15 What's A Project You're Most Proud Of?43:30 Being Your Own Harshest Critic43:41 Controversial Habesha Artist Opinions48:43 Do You Actually Need Expensive Gear to Start?49:55 Being Part Italian In An Ethiopian Community51:35 Advice Every Habesha Creator Needs to Hear53:14 Dive & Deliver56:30 Outro

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.

In this episode of The Music in Me, I dive deep into the incredible world of Prince — an artist who didn't just make music, but created an entire universe of sound, style, and emotion. From his early days as a young prodigy in Minneapolis to his rise as one of the most iconic performers of all time, Prince was never afraid to be different. He taught us that standing out is something to celebrate, not hide. I'll talk about how songs like “Let's Go Crazy,” “When Doves Cry,” and “Purple Rain” shaped not just the music world, but pop culture itself. I'll share what these songs mean to me personally — how their energy, passion, and message of individuality have always inspired me to be myself, no matter what. Prince wasn't just a singer or a musician; he was a movement. He broke barriers, redefined genres, and left behind a legacy that still shines as bright as ever. So, join me as I celebrate the life, the music, and the magic of a true original — the one and only Prince.ALBUMS MENTIONED...For YouDirty MindControversy1999Purple RainSign o' the TimesDiamonds and PearlsMusicologySONGS MENTIONED..."Purple Rain""When Doves Cry""Let's Go Crazy"What did you think of this episode?

Among musicians and fans of old-time string-band music, Benjamin Franklin Jarrell is basically royalty. As a member of one of the most influential bands from the golden age of old-time music — DaCosta Woltz's Southern Broadcasters — old Ben helped preserve that classic Appalachian-mountain style of fiddle-and-banjo string bands. His son, Thomas Jefferson “Tommy” Jarrell, is maybe the most influential old-time fiddle player even today, 40 years after his death. In Oregon, though, in the years of Ben's youth, he was a different kind of royalty. The newspapers called him “The King of the Moonshiners.” And by all accounts, anyone lucky enough to acquire a quart or two of his product had to agree that the title was his....
