More, today, from Overdrive Editor Todd Dills's run with Josh Gentry. Gentry's the son of country music titan Alabama's founding member and bassist Teddy Gentry. Today, we dive into the history of the band with some of the hands at its headquarters in Ft. Payne, Alabama, around which all three founding members -- Gentry, lead vocalist Randy Owen, and the late guitarist Jeff Cook -- all grew up and kept ties to over all the years of chart-toppers, touring, and all the trucking involved with the operation. Part 1 of the podcast: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15680069/roll-on-alabama-ft-paynenashville-with-trucker-josh-gentry As noted in Part 1, the Kenworth company is sponsoring Alabama's current tour -- the "Roll On II North America Tour," using the name of Alabama's trucking-song classic "Roll On (18 Wheeler)." Kenworth's sponsorship rekindles an old relationship between the band and the truck company. Founding member Teddy Gentry called the original relationship a product of necessity back during the height of the band's popularity, when he said the tour was supported by as many as five tractor-trailers full to the gills with equipment the band's operation toted from place to place. He can't recall just how it started, but “we needed trucks," he said, "and we were exploding on the scene as far as the music goes." Teddy Gentry called it certainly a “good promotion for them,” Kenworth, too, with Alabama trailers festooned with band insignia pulled across North America by Kenworth. It was good for the band, too, recalled Teddy Gentry, leading to Alabama featuring in the driver-tribute show year after year at the Mid-America Trucking Show through the late 1980s up through an official farewell tour in the early 2000s. This rekindled sponsorship, Gentry added, has been great to “reunite a relationship that works, and especially that my son's involved,” he said. For Josh Gentry, his father felt, trucking with the band and family is like “a dream come true” in some ways. Josh's own words underscore that, to an extent, reflecting during our run in the single 2021 Kenworth T680 that powers the Alabama-controlled portion of the tour today that, like so many an owner-operator and driver the nation over, he takes pride in doing what he does. If you missed last week's podcast, you're going to hear Josh Gentry today speaking on the Thursday ahead of Alabama's Friday, July 19, show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The bulk of the talk was recorded in-cab with Gentry on the haul up to Nashville from band headquarters in Ft. Payne, where we also spoke with staff about their longevity working for the group and memories of the past supporting their relationship with their fans and the many, many tours. And we'll drop in at the load site in Nashville where Alabama's gear is housed, and where the Josh Gentry hauled into to fill the wrapped 48-foot Great Dane show trailer to stage that Thursday night at Bridgestone. Tour operations managers and crew there spoke to all manner of aspects of Josh Gentry's and their own work for the band, and the tight relationship between father and son Gentry as well. Dive into this on-highway portrait of country music titans Alabama, with destination a show that would see something you don't see every day, that's sure. It opened with a Kenworth video that, in essence, is a tribute to the importance of American trucking. That video ended with a message, in this case sent out to 20,000 people all in one very, very big room: “Thank you to drivers everywhere,” it read. “Roll On.” Also as noted in the podcast.

Wrestling.... Strictly Business! For a Cincinnati high school wrestler, to qualify for the Ohio High School Athletic Association's State Wrestling Tournament is an arduous task at the very least. Attaining and maintaining a given body weight-class, wrestle-offs, intense practices, managing a disciplined approach to nutrition, continuing the in-season strength training and conditioning program goals, and of course..... lots of winning, especially in the district and regional tournaments that are along the way to Columbus, Ohio where the OHSAA State Wrestling Tournament is conducted at St. John Arena on the campus of Ohio State University.  And that's the way it went for ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Podcast guest Greg Strochinsky, a Cincinnati Oak Hills High School Hall of Fame wrestler who had the privilege to be coached by an Ohio High School wrestling coaching icon, Dick Roche. The coach, a stoic military veteran, was a strict disciplinarian who didn't veer off course too much when it came to following and enforcing rules. He was the Woody Hayes of Oak Hills High School who despised losing and demanded that his wrestlers felt the same.  Conversely, Strochinsky was the loose, fun loving student athlete who oozed self confidence 24/7. His self-given nickname was ''strictly business', which he prominently displayed on his shoes, his pick-up truck, t-shirts, chains, etc. However, 'Stroh' shared the same desire for victory as did his coach. And, Coach Roche and Assistant OHHS Wrestling Coach Ken Hauck, a Championship Miami Redskin defensive lineman and former OHHS wrestler himself, knew that they had themselves a potential star in the making and didn't alter the "strictly business" mojo.  Unlike a lot of today's high school wrestlers, Strochinsky never stepped onto a wrestling mat until he was a seventh grader. In fact, it was by chance that his junior high school gym teacher, Randy Owen,  announced and encouraged the lanky twelve year old to explore the sport at an after school practice session. It wasn't long before the hook was set and Strochinsky was well on his way to becoming an Oak Hills High School wrestling star. Upon leaving junior high, he entered high school 10th grade, bringing a shiny winning record along in tow. Initially, Coach Roche wasn't greeting him with hugs and adulation. But, the two figures combined their passion for winning. Stroh felt a bond to Roche and never wanted to disappoint the legendary coach. Finally, as an undefeated senior and state qualifier making the two hour drive to Columbus and walking into an arena packed with thousands of wrestling fans and supporters, Strochinsky met the sting of defeat against a well skilled, experienced state meet opponent in the semi-final match. And, not one to sulk or mope from the loss, he'd only felt the emotions of thinking that he'd let his coach down.  ... Coach Roche passed away at the age of 73. Greg Strochinsky became instrumental in starting the Dick Roche Memorial Scholarship which can be awarded to dedicated wrestlers from the school.

Florida native Jordan Fletcher was a drummer. Is a drummer. Still. But, his hands are usually busy with an acoustic guitar these days.  Jordan came to Nashville to play drums but somewhere along the way, he discovered he was pretty good at writing songs. And singing them. And thanks to what he calls some “stupid optimism”, he decided to go all in as a singer/songwriter.  Nashville though can be a brutal place, even for the talented. And without much happening, Jordan was just about ready to put an end to his music dreams and figure out a new way to support his wife and new child. But then the pandemic hit...and things changed for Jordan and his career. For the better. His career is still very much in the "just getting started" phase, but thanks to a bit of pandemic-inspired inspiration that ended up at cut on a Riley Green album, and a critically-acclaimed EP released last year, Jordan can stay all in on following his Nashville dream.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

His collection includes over 430 books and manuscripts, over 500 hours of audio and video (including the Dallas Police tapes and Air Force One transmissions), and thousands of newspaper and magazine articles. He has met and/or interviewed Marina Oswald (accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's widow), assassination witnesses Charles Brehm, Jean Hill, James Tague and Phil Willis, Dallas Police officers H.B. McLain and Jim Leavelle (the detective handcuffed to Oswald when he was shot by Jack Ruby), FBI and CIA agents and officials, and many other authors and researchers. Owen has authored several articles for the research journals The Third and Fourth Decade. He lectures regularly on the assassination and has spoken at the annual JFK Lancer November in Dallas conference. He is a recipient of the JFK Lancer New Frontier and Legacy awards. In November 2010, Owen launched a JFK Assassination Photo Chronology website, putting the the known photographs taken in Dealey Plaza immediately before, during and after the shooting in chronological order. He is currently working on a similar film chronology and maintains a general interest in most aspects of the murder. *** AND NOW *** The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.com The ‘X' Zone TV Channel Radio Feed (Free - No Subscription Required) - https://www.spreaker.com/show/xztv-the-x-zone-tv-show-audio The ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com (Free) To contact Rob McConnell - misterx@xzoneradiotv.com

Success coach and former professional golfer, Christina Lecuyer interviews the kind-hearted, introverted, INCREDIBLE country music sing-songwriter, Jamey Johnson. This episode takes you on Jamey's amazing journey into music, the twists and turns he took to get where he is today and how he always remembered to follow his gut. Plus, a special shoutout to a foundation close to Jamey's heart, the Nikki Mitchell Foundation. Jamey Johnson's Bio:Truth and tradition. These non-negotiable principles serve as the bedrock of the music of 11-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jamey Johnson, who is “one of the greatest country singers of our time,” according to The Washington Post . Indeed, the Alabama native has been acknowledged by many as country music's north star, guiding us down a path of confession and conflict to a place of reflection and redemption. He is one of only a few people in the history of country music to win two Song of the Year Awards – for “Give It Away” and “In Color”-- from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. He has received tremendous praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal and other publications, many of which have hailed his albums as masterpieces. He was among the artists asked to set Johnny Cash's poetry to music in the new album Johnny Cash Forever Words: The Music.His influential album, That Lonesome Song , was certified platinum for 1 million in sales, and his innovative double album, The Guitar Song , debuted at No. 1 on the country album charts and was certified gold. In 2012, he released a Grammy-nominated project honoring one of his heroes, Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran. In addition to his own recordings, he has written songs for George Strait, Willie Nelson, Trace Adkins, James Otto, Joe Nichols and others. He and Alison Krauss recently joined Brantley Gilbert to record the song “Fire and Brimstone” for Gilbert's new album.Follow Jamey Johnson:InstagramFacebookTwitterJamey Johnson's WebsiteNikki Mitchell Foundation Website If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!  Christina Lecuyer's Bio:Christina Lecuyer is a former Professional Golfer, a three-time reality television competitor, Confidence + Mindset Coach, Motivational Speaker, and Founder of Women with C.L.A.S.S.

Y108 wouldn't be able to do all that we have done for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital without all the help from Randy Owen.

Born and raised in Welland, Ont., Randy Owen began his radio career at his hometown radio station, 1470 CHOW, which happened to be a country station and began his official role in the country music industry. In 40 years of broadcasting, he's stopped at stations in Kitchener, Mississauga, Brantford and Tillsonburg, including a 3-year stint as host of the Pelmorex Radio Network's nationally syndicated request show "Cryin', Lovin' or Leavin'." In 1988, he was awarded the Country Personality of the Year awards from both the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) and the RPM Big Country Awards - the only person to win both national awards the same year. Owen has developed a reputation as a skilled interviewer having interviewed such country music greats as Garth Brooks, Brett Kissel, Johnny Cash, Dean Brody, Shania Twain, George Jones, and many, many more artists. He is currently determining the next path his career will take.

Trey Hensley Interview: Struggling to find his own sound at a young age and the simple advice that helped him get it… playing with Marty Stuart, Earl Scruggs, Tony Rice, Johnny & June Carter Cash, Ricky Skaggs, Rob Ickes, Charlie Daniels, Taj Mahal… A low point in time where he left the music business and how this period of reflection helped him, switching to electric from acoustic and the unexpected benefit of this, his passion and drive, Air Jordans, patience, having goals and more.  I have no doubt that Trey Hensley is well on his way to becoming one of this generation's most well-respected guitarists At age 11, Trey was performing at the Grand Ole Opry.

Bill sits down with Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry of the iconic country music group Alabama to discuss growing up as cousins in Fort Payne, Alabama, and how songs like “Angels Among Us” impacted their career.

 This week I’m talking with my friend Bobby Rymer who owns the publishing company Writer’s Den Music Group in Nashville. He’s worked his way from the bottom to the top of record labels and publishing companies in the music industry and has a career that has spanned over 35 years. We are discussing the process of working your way up the ladder at publishing companies and record labels, the importance of knowing the history of the music industry, what publishers are looking for when signing new writers and the best venues to play in Nashville to get noticed by industry insiders.Show Notes:Sponsors: Edenbrooke Productions - We offer consulting services and are offering listeners a 1-hour introductory special. To request more info on consulting services, email Marty at contact@johnmartinkeith.com. Talking Points:*I own Writer’s Den Music Group. As a publisher I have a day gig and a night gig.*During the day I pitch songs and have meetings, etc. At night I go to showcases and meet writers and artists.*Spend money smartly.*Look over your options at what you want to accomplish and how.*You don’t have to have an office anymore if you have a laptop and a phone you can do most of your work that way.*I was doing social work and realized it was not my passion and I decided to go back to school to get a degree in the music business.*My friend got a job at Capitol Records in the mail room and called and asked if I would be interested in his old job at a record store. Then 9 months later he called saying he got promoted and asked if I wanted my name put in for the mail room job at Capitol.*The mail room at a record label is the bottom of the totem pole which is where most people have to start.*Get in anyway you can and prove your worth.*Ask yourself “how bad do you want it?”*Internships and a course called "Copyright Law" are worth their weight in gold.*You really don’t start to understand how the music industry works until you’re in it working everyday and making relationships and learning how things are done.*I got to sit in on meetings and learn how you find talent and find songs.*If you can, try to work out a smaller company because you will stand out more as opposed to a larger company that just churns interns out every semester.*After about a year and a half an opening came up in A&R and I was able to move up because the label looked within before looking out.*My main job in A&R was to go out and find songs for the artists on the label by meeting with the publishers in town.*If you want to consider the music business for a career, you better know your history.*When looking for songs for artists, I would sit with the label heads after they talked with the artists to know what they were looking for.*You go out and find songs you’re passionate about and the come back and see if there’s a home for it on the label.*You have to listen to songs and see if they are checking off the boxes of things you are looking for to fit an artist.*When you are reaching out to labels or publishers, you better know who they are and the history of people they’ve worked with and what they’ve done and you better know who they are working for now.*Get Billboard Magazine and make sure you know every artist, label, producer and writer and study the charts so it becomes second nature. That is where you start. You shouldn’t have to pause when someone asks who produced or wrote the latest hit is.*Before you knock on a door or make a phone call to a company, understand who you are talking to because if you don’t they will quickly realize that you don’t want this bad enough or you haven’t done your homework.*I was A&R for about 4 years at Capitol, then there was a regime change and lost that job.*Opportunity is not going to knock on your door, you have to go out and meet it.*I kept having meetings and eventually bumped into a publisher I knew who used to play me songs and he offered me a job as a tape copier at the music publisher Almo-Irving.*Even though it was a step back from where I had been, I wanted to stay in the industry and I got the job as the tape copy, which is the ground floor at a publishing company.*A tape copy made copies of 8-10 songs on a tape and put together lyrics and a label for publishers to take to pitch meetings.*The tape copy is the best place to start at a publishing company because that’s where you learn the catalog and the songs and writers.*The writers would come down with new songs and you would put the songs in the system so you get to spend time with the writers and build relationships.*I was tape copy for about 3 years learning until a vacancy came open and I naturally moved up to song plugger.*I realized that publishing is all I ever want to do because I get to work creators who make things out of thin air and I get to help find a home for it.*A song plugger is being aware of the labels in town, the artists in town and your job is to find a home for these songs. sometimes it’s find new writers and bringing them in to the company.*As a songwriter show up and do the work and always have your antenna up because you never know where a song idea will come from.*Some songs in a publishing catalog don’t see the light of day after a while because they have a time stamp on them using certain language and melodies from the time it was written and the language and melodies maybe different now than they were then and those things change.*Maybe the song is there but the demo is dated and will turn someone off even if it’s a great song.*If the song will take it, I like demos with acoustic instruments. Don’t go crazy with reverb. Maybe do a glorified work tape and the demo has the chance of having a longer shelf life because they aren’t dating it with certain tones and sounds.*The guitar/piano vocal demo is great because that’s the way I hear it when the writer plays it for me and there is nothing getting in the way of the lyric and the melody.*If you bring a fully produced demo and the producer knows they aren’t going produce it that way, then they have to sit with the artist and start subtracting what they don’t want and that is hard for artists to hear sometimes because they are hearing it one way and being told they are going to do it a completely different way. If you have a guitar/piano vocal and say I’m going to start adding this, they get it.*Some producers need to hear the full demo as it would be on the record.*The song will dictate what it needs as a demo ultimately.*resumes mean nothing in this business. It’s all relationship based.*I worked for Almo-Irving for 14 years and eventually ran the Nashville office. It got bought out by Universal Music Group so after a year off I started a publishing company called Writer’s Den Music Group.*Write what you know. Your story’s already been written. Tell it!*People say “no” to songs I think are hits because this is an art, not a science and everyone has their own opinion. Find people who have similar tastes to you and send them songs that fit you similar personalities. If people have different tastes than you, find out what they are.*This business is an educated guessing game.*You have to be careful to not create demos that are too much like an artist because if they pass on it and you pitch elsewhere, those artists or labels think it sounds like that particular artist and once they find out the previous artist passed on it, they think something is wrong with the song and it will not get cut.*Don’t pitch what they’ve done, pitch what they might be doing.*Write what’s familiar to all of us but unique to you.*It’s the music business, not the music I’ll do whatever I want and hope it works.*For tv/film sync music you have to stand out and offer something that no one else is.*We need the first you, not the second anybody else.*It’s about creating a mood.*Everything is negotiable.*Music supervisors only want songs that are pre cleared so they don’t have to wait 3-4 days to to get an answer from a publisher if they want to license a song.*As a publisher when I want to sign a new writer I’m looking for songs that have a good lyric and melody. If I can whistle it, I’m in.*I’m not looking the next whoever, I’m looking for the first you.*Great writers have a thumbprint like great singers do and you know within the first few seconds who wrote the song.*I’m looking for someone who can write a song told a thousand different times, told from a different angle.*If someone is reaching out to me wanting to get signed to a publishing deal, the best thing is to meet me at workshops and conferences where we can meet in person. That’s what I’m there for. Most of the time it’s by word of mouth from people I know or at songwriter nights when I go to listen to new writers.*I close my eyes when I listen to songs because I want to see the movie you’ve created. If I don’t like a song it’s because I’m seeing it and feeling it.*Maybe I’m not crazy about the song, but there are a couple of lines that are new and fresh and that will make me want to talk to the writer because that might be the tip of the iceberg for something greater.*I’m looking for potential.*Hone your craft so that when someone listens to it, there is nothing they can suggest to make it better.*You can’t control God given talent, but you can control work ethic.*I prefer to sign writers to long term contracts, not single songs because I want to build a relationship. I like to court a writer for period of time to get to know each other before I sign them.*I’m looking for a certain amount of talent and a work ethic.*Find people who will give you a leg up you do the same for others.*If we don’t see you, if we don’t hear you, you don’t exist.*Be out and play out. You need to play out 1 night and be out 4 or more. *You never know who you’re going to be standing next to or see on stage that you can develop a relationship with.*Play out so people can see you.*There are venues for tourists and venues for industry people. Play the venues such as The Local, Belcourt Taps, Douglas Corner, 3rd and Lindsley and The Bluebird where the industry people attend.*If you’re playing at these venues, you’re going to find your “class” of people to rise up with at that is usually at the earlier shows from 5-7pm. You want to be hanging around those people.*It’s about making smart decisions, hanging out at the right places at the right times, giving yourself opportunities and letting people see you are out and about and proactive. Eventually someone will take notice and you’re going to get invited to the next level. Bobby Rymer is the owner and general manager of the Nashville based music publishing company Writer’s Den Music Group.Writer’s Den was originally started in 2007 with Rymer at the helm.

Dan Fogelberg passed away 10 years ago this month.  His memory has been kept alive this year by a number of events, including the release of two new albums, ‘Live At Carnegie Hall’ (a previously unheard performance from 1979) and a tribute album that features a long list of musicians that loved Fogelberg’s music.   This episode of Documenting Popular Music takes a look at the tribute album and artist such as Garth Brooks, who performs “Phoenix” with Trisha Yearwood providing background vocals; the late Donna Summer, who sings an inspiring version of “Nether Lands” using the same backing track that Fogelberg used for the 1977 classic; Amy Grant and Vince Gill, who provide a duet on “Longer” that gives new life to Fogelberg’s biggest hit; Randy Owen, the legendary voice of the group Alabama – the best-selling country group of all time – sings “Sutter’s Mill,” originally from Fogelberg’s progressive bluegrass album ‘High Country Snows;’ Zac Brown and his band deliver a live version of “Leader of the Band;” and Fogelberg’s good friend Joe Walsh of the Eagles sings “Part of the Plan,” a song he originally produced for Fogelberg for the 1974 album Souvenirs. Fellow Eagles Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit sing backing harmonies for the new version of the song.   Other artists on the album include Michael McDonald, Jimmy Buffett, Boz Scaggs, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with Richie Furay, the late Dobie Gray, Train, Fool’s Gold (originally Fogelberg’s backing band) and Casey James.   Included in this presentation is inside, background information from Fogelberg’s former record producer, Norbert Putnam, one of the tribute album’s co-producers.  Putnam explains how Brooks and Summer got involved in the project, which is a true labor of love from Fogelberg’s widow, Jean Fogelberg, also a producer on the album.  She has worked hard to create a celebrated year for her late husband, and the tribute album is the final, very satisfying piece to an eventful year.   You can hear more from Putnam about his relationship with Dan Fogelberg in the Documenting Popular Music episode ‘Leader of the Band -- Remembering Dan Fogelberg with Stories and Insights from His Record Producer’ released earlier this year. Read the Show Notes at http://oandfstudios.com/documenting-popular-music/ --- Coming soon from Documenting Popular Music, a look at Gordon Lightfoot’s career with author Nicholas Jennings; a conversation with Merrilee Rush (“Angle of the Morning”), a look at TV theme songs from the 1970s that became Top 40 hits; and a biographical sketch of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018.
