In this episode I sit down with "Rowdy" Rob Williford. Rob played guitar and wrote hits with Luke Combs since Luke got his start just up until last December when he retired to focus more on songwriting and his own project. We are going to dive into life on the road with Luke and talk about the stories behind the massive hits Rob wrote for Luke like "One Number Away," "Doin This," and "Nothin But You." So far Rob has written 8 songs that have been recorded by Luke Combs along with other incredible songs recorded by Wheeler Walker Jr. and Kameron Marlowe. Rob has also been nominated and won several awards: 2018 ASCAP Song of the Year for "One Number Away", 2019 ACM Song of the Year Nominee for "Beautiful Crazy", 2019 CMA Song of the Year Winner for "Beautiful Crazy", 2020 NSAI Multiplatinum Songwriter Award, 2021 Grammy Nomination (Best Country Solo Performance) for "Forever After All", 2021 CMA Song of the Year Nominee for "Forever After All", 2022 Music Row Song of the Year Nominee for "Doin' This" and his recent Grammy nomination for Best Country Song "Doin' This." He also has just recently put out his own project titled "WILDCARD" that he co-produced with Kyle Cook from Matchbox 20 and recorded at the famous Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL. If you haven't heard that album, go listen today! It's so good and Rob put so much effort into it. We are going to talk about all of this on this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did listening to his stories behind the songs.

We all sat down over the weekend to chat about taking over the crown from Cheslie Kryst, how they make full time careers modeling and even how they handle their family dynamic. Both were Jovani it girls and cover girls for the Jovani Prom and Red Carpet Line catalog. Younger Sister Courtney was in the music video “One Number Away” for Country Music Singer Luke Combs and older sis Laura was the 2017 Sideline Attraction cheerleader for All pro cheer magazine. These were also both NBA dancers. Dancing for the Charlotte Hornets Honeybees for a combined 5 years. And lastly, if you follow either of them on social media, you’ll know that both have been Monster Energy Girls for the past 2 ½ years making appearances in Victory Lane for all of the biggest Nascar Races, the Winter and Summer X-Games and Supercross. Some great laughs and advice from the Little sisters on todays episode.
