Last week the "How We Heard It" hosts came up with a list of the greatest women singers in modern music, debating Janis Joplin vs. Whitney Houston and Karen Carpenter vs. Barbra Streisand while also finding endless praise for everyone from Aretha Franklin to Linda Ronstadt to Annie Lennox to Billie Eilish. This week, "How We Heard It" pivots to men singers, going back in time to crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby and country legends like Hank Williams and George Jones. From there, the hosts come forward, breezing through classic singer-songwriters like Jim Croce and James Taylor, R&B pioneers such as Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and all manner of rock singers, including Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury, while pausing to engage in the inevitable Paul McCartney vs. John Lennon debate. The 1980s and 1990s are represented by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Sting, Robert Palmer, Michael Hutchence, Trent Reznor, Vince Gill and Randy Travis. And today's stars are also evaluated, including Post Malone, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Benson Boone and John Legend. Meanwhile, you might be surprised to find out where many of the others fall into place, including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Michael Jackson and Robert Plant. Especially Robert Plant.

fWotD Episode 3041: Randy Travis Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 1 September 2025, is Randy Travis.Randy Bruce Traywick (born May 4, 1959), known professionally as Randy Travis, is an American country and gospel music singer and songwriter, as well as a film and television actor. Active since 1979, he has recorded over 20 studio albums and charted over 50 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including sixteen that reached the number-one position. Travis's commercial success began in the mid-1980s with the release of his album Storms of Life, which was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. He followed up his major-label debut with a string of platinum and multi-platinum albums, but his commercial success declined throughout the 1990s. In 1997, he left Warner Bros. Records for DreamWorks Records; he signed to Word Records for a series of gospel albums beginning in 2000 before transferring back to Warner at the end of the 21st century's first decade. His musical accolades include seven Grammy Awards, eleven ACM Awards, eight Dove Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a 2016 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Major songs of his include "On the Other Hand", "Forever and Ever, Amen", "I Told You So", "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart", and "Three Wooden Crosses".He is noted as a key figure in the neotraditional country movement, a return to more traditional sounds within the genre following the country pop crossovers of the early 1980s. Nearly all of his albums were produced or co-produced by Kyle Lehning, and feature frequent co-writing credits from Paul Overstreet, Don Schlitz, and Skip Ewing. Critics have compared his baritone singing voice to other artists such as Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, and George Jones. Since surviving a near-fatal stroke in 2013, which severely limited his singing and speaking ability, he has released archival recordings and made limited public appearances. James Dupré has toured singing Travis's songs with his road band. Between mid-2024 and January 2025, Travis released two new songs where his voice was re-created via artificial intelligence.Travis's acting career includes roles in the television movies Wind in the Wire (1993) and A Holiday to Remember (1995), as well as the Patrick Swayze movie Black Dog (1998).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Monday, 1 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Randy Travis on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Danielle.

CLIMBers, I keep hearing artists talk about choosing this streaming platform over that streaming platform because it "pays" better. There is no set streaming rate for any streaming service.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: August 20, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS9: E4: Lee Newton- Standing in the CircleSHOW SUMMARY:When Lee Newton's father told his young daughter she would one day stand on the Grand Ole Opry stage while he watched from the front row, neither could have imagined how prophetically those words would manifest. Fast forward decades later to Lee performing her song "Carolina" at the Opry House with her father's cab driver hat placed on the microphone stand and an empty seat in the front row – a powerful full-circle moment that exemplifies her extraordinary journey.  The North Carolina native's path to musical success has been anything but conventional. Growing up in "Paper Town, USA" with limited resources, Lee found early musical inspiration riding in her father's taxi cab where he'd play guitar between fares. Despite facing poverty, family struggles, and eventually escaping domestic violence with her young son on her hip, Lee's resilience never wavered. Just four and a half years ago, she restarted her musical career from nothing – no money, no connections, just raw talent and unwavering determination.  What she's accomplished in that short time defies typical industry trajectories. Lee has opened for country legends like Randy Travis, Ronnie Millsap, and Gene Watson. Her albums feature collaborations with Pam Tillis, Joe Bonsall of the Oak Ridge Boys, T. Graham Brown, and Rhonda Vincent – established artists who embraced her as a peer rather than a newcomer. As an independent artist handling her own management and promotion, she's earned multiple prestigious awards, including Traditional Country Artist of the Year at the Josie Awards and Entertainer of the Year from the International Singer-Songwriting Association.  Beyond her musical achievements, Lee's story resonates because of her authenticity and heart. Her song "Strength of a Woman" has inspired nearly 60,000 TikTok videos from people sharing their own stories of overcoming adversity. Between recording sessions for her upcoming album featuring Georgette Jones, she prioritizes being "that mom" who attends school lunches and field trips with her nine-year-old son, and dedicates time to benefit concerts for causes close to her heart.  Discover more about this remarkable artist's journey and music at leenewtonofficial.com and follow her on all social media platforms to stay updated on upcoming performances and releases.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web PageWeb - www.leenewtonmusic.comCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

In episode 1039 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards opens with reflections on living in interesting times, combating cancel culture, and highlighting Jackson's overlooked issues. He shares personal anecdotes, including getting bitten by ants and childhood remedies like bleach baths, while greeting early livestream commenters. Edwards discusses the Metro Center Mall's proposed $875 million mixed-use redevelopment by Emerchant Capital, covering 70 acres with private and public funding. Skeptical, he recalls failed past plans like an amusement park, high-rise condos, a Randy Travis truck stop, and a movie studio, labeling them pipe dreams. He argues the location in West Jackson dooms retail or residential efforts, suggesting alternatives like a prison, Amazon hub, casino, or charter school to spur economic activity. Listeners propose ideas via texts, including a youth outreach center, solar farm, event hall, or flea market, but Edwards favors job-creating ventures over non-profits. A major segment covers Jackson City Council's new ordinance banning masks (including hoods) in outdoor public spaces to curb crime, proposed by Interim Police Chief Joseph Wade. Approved 7-0, it aims to aid facial recognition and prevent robberies, but exemptions for health, holidays, employment, religion, and ages under 14/over 60, plus no stops solely for mask-wearing, render it ineffective in Edwards' view. He criticizes it as toothless pandering, worsening safety in Black communities by avoiding real enforcement. Edwards announces new co-hosts: Shawn Yurkron returning Friday, and a former Miss Louisiana/Miss Universe contestant next week for pop culture and politics. He requests prayers for a Madison Ridgeland Academy student hit by a truck, a family friend. Briefly, he touches sports (Vikings' gay cheerleaders, Trump's potential executive order on college sports, LSU player aiding murder suspects) and national stories (Sydney Sweeney ad backlash as online exaggeration, a woman's extreme dating demands). Callers debate solar farms in Raymond (policy failures, economic links to AI/data centers) and Jackson's crime influences like victimhood narratives. Edwards closes frustrated with Jackson's self-sabotaging policies, urging community action against crime and cultural rot, emphasizing accountability over excuses.

Today's podcast guest is James Dupré, a Bayou Chicot native with a voice that's earned him national attention on The Voice, The Ellen Show, and CBS Sunday Morning. He's currently touring as the lead vocalist on the More Life Tour, performing all of Randy Travis's greatest hits alongside Randy's original band. Personally chosen by Randy and Mary Travis, James was instrumental in the creation of the AI-assisted track “Where That Came From,” marking Randy's first new release in over a decade. From small-town beginnings to center stage at the Grand Ole Opry, James is carrying the country music torch in a way that's both fresh and rooted in tradition.Webiste: https://www.jamesdupre.com⸻

While Ben deals with a paint job and some southern charm, Michelle Thomas teams up with an insurance adjuster to investigate the suspicious murder of an ad producer.

We explore the episode's dual storylines, share standout moments, and discuss how Matlock masterfully blends humor, mystery, and justice in its signature style. Whether you've been watching since the Andy Griffith days or you're discovering the series for the first time, this review is packed with nostalgia, insight, and TV history.

What if the songs we love and the artists behind them could finally be compensated fairly, across every platform, every play, and every country? In today's episode, I sit down with Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange, to unpack how this music tech nonprofit is challenging the very foundations of how royalties are calculated and distributed. Michael shares how SoundExchange, which has now distributed over $12 billion to artists and rights holders, is not just administering royalties but actively shaping the policies and technologies that govern the future of music. We explore their groundbreaking use of AI for fraud detection and royalty matching, as well as the advocacy behind the American Music Fairness Act, a long-overdue effort to ensure artists are paid for terrestrial radio plays, a right still denied in the US but granted nearly everywhere else. The conversation turns toward the growing tension between innovation and creator protection in the age of generative AI.  Michael discusses how SoundExchange is balancing these forces by backing ethical standards like the Human Artistry Campaign and lobbying for policies that prioritize consent, credit, and compensation. He also touches on fascinating use cases for AI in music, such as voice localization, signature sound licensing, and even resurrecting voices of beloved artists like Randy Travis. We also discuss SoundExchange's vision for the future, one where its expertise in large-scale, data-driven payouts could help solve the thorny question of compensating artists whose works are used to train generative AI models. From indie musicians to global superstars, the impact of this work is vast, nuanced, and increasingly urgent. So, how do we build a future where technology and creativity can coexist and both thrive? And who's making sure the voices behind our favourite tracks aren't lost in the noise of innovation? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are we doing enough to protect artists in the digital era? Let me know

Send us a textTarrence Phillips captivates listeners with his remarkable journey from forklift operator to rising Christian country star in this genuine, faith-filled conversation. After singing since age three and exploring various musical genres, Phillips reveals how returning to his first love—country music—with a Christian perspective became his life's calling and ministry.The South Carolina native shares the pivotal moment when a shelved song called "Thank You" unexpectedly launched his career after a friend encouraged him to release it. Within weeks, the song climbed into the Top 10, eventually leading to his signing with LBM Records, a Christian label specifically seeking a country artist. Phillips speaks warmly about serving as a praise and worship leader at New Hope Baptist Church for 24 years while balancing his growing music career with family responsibilities.What stands out most is Phillips' authentic approach to blending musical influences spanning from Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson to Randy Travis and Charlie Pride. He discusses his recent releases including "Thank You," "My Everything," and "Trouble"—songs that convey messages of gratitude, devotion, and perseverance through faith. With refreshing humility, Phillips previews his upcoming love ballad "Song is About You," dedicated to the wife he met at church, while emphasizing his mission to share Christ's love through country music. His parting wisdom that "trouble doesn't last always" resonates as powerfully as his music, making this episode both uplifting and deeply inspiring for anyone navigating their own path of purpose.Subscribe to hear more conversations with passionate dreamers and creators, and visit tarrencephillipsmusic.com to discover Terrence's music on all major streaming platforms.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Former FOX 5 reporter Randy Travis running for Lawrenceville City Council seat Randy Travis, a retired FOX 5 Atlanta investigative reporter of 35 years, is running for Lawrenceville City Council Post 3 this fall. Known for exposing government corruption, Travis aims to continue public service by ensuring efficient use of tax dollars. He will challenge incumbent Austin Thompson, focusing on keeping taxes low, supporting diverse housing, and aiding small businesses. A Lawrenceville resident, Travis has served as a poll worker and on the city’s Financial Review Citizen Committee. Married for 41 years, he values community ties, Georgia Gwinnett College, and small business growth. His campaign emphasizes a safe, vibrant future for Lawrenceville. STORY 2: Gwinnett man killed, woman injured in shooting at Norcross area hotel A shooting at the Horizon Inn & Suites in Gwinnett County late Tuesday left 29-year-old Andre Jones dead and a woman injured. Police found Jones with a gunshot wound to the chest; he later died at the hospital. The woman, an apparent bystander, sustained a leg injury but was not involved in the altercation. Detectives are investigating the motive and pursuing leads. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact Gwinnett police or Crime Stoppers anonymously. The incident occurred around 11:45 p.m. at the hotel on Dawson Blvd. Police continue to seek answers in this tragic case. STORY 3: Socialist group to hold immigration protest in downtown Lawrenceville Protestors will gather in downtown Lawrenceville on Saturday afternoon to oppose immigration raids and arrests, organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. The "Hands Off Immigrants" protest will take place at 2 p.m. at Bicentennial Plaza, a busy area near Lawrenceville Lawn. The group advocates for socialism, criticizing capitalism for creating a "repressive state" and endorsing revolutionary change. Police have warned of potential traffic disruptions from 2 to 6 p.m. but pledged neutrality while ensuring safety. The event follows a tense immigration protest in DeKalb County last weekend, where tear gas was used, and arrests, including a journalist, were made.

Originally awaiting a job offer from Central Arkansas, they found their calling at GAC, where they viewed their work as a ministry. Kristy coached softball and volleyball, winning multiple championships, while Cliff led the baseball team to a record number of victories and served as associate athletic director. Honored with the "Shelton Stands" at GAC’s baseball park, the couple plans to move to Arkansas to be near family. They look forward to new pursuits like writing, golfing, and fishing while continuing to find purpose in helping others.

The charges, including reckless driving and running a red light, stem from incidents in May and June, unrelated to his June 14 arrest. Guevara, known for live-streaming ICE arrests in metro Atlanta, was detained by ICE after being granted bond. His attorneys question the timing of the charges, emphasizing his innocence. Guevara, in the U.S. on a valid work permit, is currently held at ICE’s Folkston Detention Facility while pursuing permanent residency. STORY 7: Georgia Senate Republicans vote on new leadership amid big shuffle The Georgia Senate is undergoing a major leadership shakeup as Republicans elected Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas, as the new majority leader and nominated Sen. Larry Walker III, R-Perry, as president pro tempore. Anavitarte, serving since 2021, steps into the third-highest Senate role, leaving his caucus chair position vacant. Walker’s promotion, pending a full Senate vote in January, would also create a leadership gap. These changes follow Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ anticipated gubernatorial run, triggering leadership shifts as Sen. Steve Gooch and Sen. John F. Kennedy vie for Jones’ position. Four of six top Republican Senate roles will change next session. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 3 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.
