Podcast appearances and mentions of Tim McGraw

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the extraordinary Wendy Moten for a conversation about longevity, versatility, professionalism, and the many different ways a singer can build a meaningful life in music. Wendy has one of those careers that musicians know and revere: a major-label artist in the 1990s, a world-class touring vocalist, a sought-after session singer, a member of the Grammy-winning Time Jumpers, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry, and, more recently, a powerful presence for a new generation of listeners through The Voice. What struck me most in this conversation is how clearly she understands her craft, her purpose, and the discipline required to sustain both.We begin by talking about the busy season she is in now, balancing solo work, sessions, weekly performances with the Time Jumpers, and another major tour with Vince Gill. Wendy shares the story of how Vince first called her out of the blue after her run with Martina McBride had ended, and how that invitation opened an entirely new chapter in her career. From there, we get into what she calls her “version of country music,” and how she found it not by imitating the genre, but by studying its history, listening closely, and finding an authentic way to bring herself into the tradition.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on harmony singing and what it really means to support another artist. Wendy talks beautifully about what she learned during 15 years as Julio Iglesias's duet partner, including how to listen, how to match breath and phrasing, how to stay out of the way, and how to make someone else sound even better. She says she was “getting paid for self-control,” which is one of the best descriptions of professional background singing I have ever heard. That whole section of the conversation is full of insight for anyone who cares about what it means to serve the music at a very high level.We also talk about church, family, and the support system that made her life in music possible. Wendy reflects on growing up in Memphis, singing in church, and learning early how to stand in front of people, even when she was shy and uncomfortable. She shares how much her parents sacrificed to create opportunities for her and her siblings, and how much those sacrifices still mean to her now. We also spend time talking about her Grand Ole Opry appearances, including the emotion of making her Opry debut without her parents there to see it, and the significance of standing on that stage as a Black woman in a space where history has not always made room for everyone.Along the way, we get into her years at EMI, the pressure to be shaped into whatever version of success the label wanted at the time, and the freedom she eventually found by building a career outside the usual boxes. Wendy talks openly about not needing fame in the conventional sense, about loving the role of underdog, and about continuing to surprise people. This is a conversation about singing, certainly, but also about resilience, humility, excellence, and how to remain generous and grounded across four decades in music.Key TakeawaysWendy Moten reflects on building a career across pop, country, jazz, Americana, sessions, television, and touring without being confined to one lane.She shares how 15 years with Julio Iglesias taught her phrasing, breath, dynamics, communication, and the art of listening more deeply.Wendy talks about singing with Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers, and how she developed her own authentic relationship to country music.She offers a sharp and memorable perspective on background vocals: great harmony singing requires self-control, consistency, and leaving your ego at home.The conversation explores how the church shaped her confidence, artistry, and ability to recover from mistakes in front of an audience.Wendy also reflects on The Voice, why she chose to do it, and how it introduced her to a new audience without diminishing everything that came before it.We discuss the Grand Ole Opry, the emotional weight of her debut, and the significance of taking up space in a tradition that has not always been inclusive.Music from the EpisodeOde to Billy Joe - Wendy MotenDon't Touch Me - Wendy MotenDriving Nails in My Coffin - Wendy MotenFaithless Love - Wendy Moten (with Vince Gill)About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, and creative people for thoughtful conversations about craft, career, collaboration, and the life experiences that shape the music.

0:00 - The Nashville Predators hired Chris MacFarland to be their President of Hockey Operations and General Manager. Joe Sakic will now be the Avs GM "for the foreseeable future." How long is the "foreseeable future"? Do the Avalanche even need to hire a new GM or can they let Sakic re-take the reigns entirely? Also, if the roster doesn't need that much tweaking to begin with, do they need a brand new GM? You know Sakic was involved with every decision Chris MacFarland signed off on anyway.(Also, for what it's worth, the song I bumped in with was "I Like It, I Love It" by Tim McGraw)17:54 - The Broncos paid PSII a cool $5 million bonus yesterday. It's good work if you can get it! But the problem is...does that set a precedent? How good does a Broncos player need to be to earn a bonus? Are other guys on the defense going to be jealous?31:43 - Oh, by the way...former Angles/Orioles outfielder Jordyn Adams is leaving pro baseball to go...back to college? He was a 5-star WR recruit in 2018. He's now a 26-year-old freshman at SMU.Oh, by the way...TJ "Donald Rumsfeld" Rumfield hit a home run that only cleared the wall because it bounced off Jo Adell's head. The ol' Jose Canseco special.Oh, by the way...Steph Curry just signed a $400 million, 10-year shoe deal with a Chinese company called Li-Ning.

Nancy had a dream that she was moving out of an Airbnb all by herself while another family was moving in. She woke up exhausted! Joey’s doctor’s appointment was cancelled because the office had a water leak. He thought they meant his doctor’s water broke... she is not pregnant. Joey was anxious about a public bathroom he had to go in. It was labeled as a “shared bathroom,” but it had two stalls inside. So he thinks it means both men and women could go in there at the same time? Hot Tea: Eric Church and Tim McGraw helped get the Super Bowl to come to Nashville in 2030. While filming Marshalls and The Madison, the crews had to deal with rattlesnakes and use the bathroom in bushes. Police in France are warning drivers to watch out for drunk deer.

Last week it was announced that Tim McGraw would be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He joins many legendary artists, including his good friend Kenny Chesney. Kenny had a special message for his friend after the announcement.

In this episode I share our real family experience attending the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at NRG Stadium. From high-speed barrel racing and intense bull riding to calf scramble dreams, mutton bustin ambitions, carnival rides, massive crowds, and seeing Tim McGraw perform live, this episode gives an honest look at what it is like to attend one of Texas' biggest rodeo events with kids.We also talk about the unforgettable moment of watching champion barrel racer Kassie Mowry and her horse Jarvis win the barrel racing event live in the arena, as well as the reality and risks of rodeo competition after witnessing a bull rider get stepped on during his ride — and the relief of later learning he was okay. Along the way we reflect on generational horseback riding connections, rodeo culture, western traditions, and the lasting family memories created during a high-energy night at the Houston Rodeo.

Want the full track-by-track breakdown — from Tim McGraw through Tied Together with a Smile — and everything we unpack about ambition, identity, and the thesis statement Taylor locked in before she could legally drive.  Subscribe for free to get episode updates or upgrade to paid to get our After School premium content: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe.

The chorus hits like a switch. One minute you're nodding to a groove; the next you're shouting Slam Bam with a room full of strangers who suddenly feel like a band. We sat down with country recording artist Chaz Collins to unpack how a southern rock tune from the late 90s became a modern country rock anthem people can own from the first pass.Chaz takes us inside the rewrite, how a handful of lyric tweaks turned a great song into his story, and explains the melodic choices that invite instant recognition, including a sly nod to Angel Is A Centerfold. Then we head into Nashville with producer-drummer Tommy Harden. Picture top-tier session players scribbling charts, hearing a demo once, and delivering first takes that feel like the record. Chaz breaks down why they tracked live for chemistry, how ear fatigue shapes vocal sessions, and where to feature steel or fiddle so the hook lands with muscle and heart.We also trace the arc from hair metal roots to country edge, the influence of Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw on storytelling, and the reality of modern independence: a Virgin Music distribution deal that preserves creative control, global digital reach, and zero cuts from live shows. On the horizon, there's a bold swing, talks with the NBA for halftime performances of No Place I'd Rather Be, a unifying anthem co-written with Byron Hill that aims to light up arenas and bring people together.Along the way, Chaz shares road stories from thousands of shows across 43 states, the thrill of testing Slam Bam live and hearing it shouted back, and the gratitude that fuels the grind, his wife's all-in marketing and his drummer's behind-the-scenes hustle during a family health fight. It's a blueprint for making country that hits: write for truth, track for feel, produce with intention, and take it to the people.If the episode moved you, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves big choruses and bigger crowds, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.

Think the Grammys always reward the biggest voices? We put that idea on trial. From Luke Combs and Blake Shelton to Eric Church and Martina McBride, we map the stunning list of country heavyweights with multiple nominations and zero wins—and ask what those numbers really say about merit, timing, and taste. Then we widen the lens: Jelly Roll's breakout sweep, Zac Top's historic Traditional Country win, and how a single new category can rewrite a career's story overnight.We keep the momentum with a packed news slate: Lainey Wilson's cryptic “Can't Sit Still” teasers and possible Netflix tie‑in, Hardy's cinematic multi‑generational collab featuring Tim McGraw, Eric Church, and Morgan Wallen, Tim McGraw's Pawn Shop Guitar tour routing through Fenway Park, and The Voice's two‑hour season launch after the Winter Games. Along the way, we talk performance versus polish, the role of auto‑tune in modern crossovers, and why some artists soar on stage even if the trophies never land.Our community brings the heat with the Question of the Day: name an artist who left a famous band and built a real solo legacy. From Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, and Peter Gabriel to Darius Rucker and Peter Cetera, your picks fuel a rapid-fire tour through rock, country, pop, and beyond. We balance it with a transparent look at the business: do labels still help, or are they just advances with branding? Is touring truly profitable for rising acts in vans and trailers? And how do indie artists build durability when playlist spikes fade?We round it out with a sharp chart rundown—main and indie—plus a 2006 flashback to Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, and George Strait, showing how yesterday's storytelling still shapes today's sound. If you love country music, industry strategy, and a lively back-and-forth that doesn't hedge, this one's for you.Enjoyed the show?

What happens when the worst thing you've been afraid of actually happens—and you're still standing? In this episode of Typology, I sit down with songwriter Brad Warren—an Enneagram Six, a man in long-term recovery, a husband, a father, and someone who has walked straight through unimaginable grief and come out the other side with humility, humor, and hard-won wisdom. Brad is the kind of person who tells the truth without posturing, who can laugh at himself without diminishing himself, and who understands—deeply—that fear doesn't disappear just because you name it. But naming it does change the game. We talk about the Enneagram Six's instinct to scan the horizon for danger, to rehearse conversations that never happen, and to catastrophize not because they're weak—but because they care. A lot. Brad shares how losing a child forced him to face his worst fears head-on, and how recovery, faith, and accountability helped him learn the difference between imagined catastrophe and lived reality. There's a kind of quiet courage in the way he describes trusting God—not a God who's looking to smite him, but one who's patiently inviting him to rest. Along the way, we explore humor as both a survival strategy and a spiritual practice, the surprising connection between humility and laughter, and how Sixes learn to move from fear-driven vigilance to faith-filled presence. We also touch on marriage, loyalty, religious deconstruction with gratitude instead of bitterness, and the life-saving power of people who are willing to tell you the truth when your mind is lying to you. This episode is funny, tender, honest, and deeply human. It's about fear—but it's even more about trust. And what it looks like, day by day, to choose it anyway.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Brad Warren Brad Warren is a Nashville-based songwriter and artist best known as one half of the hitmaking Warren Brothers.
