In this episode, I had the chance to sit down with the incredibly talented Johnny McGuire, who's had quite the journey in country music. Originally from Dallas, Johnny moved to Nashville in 2012 with the dream of becoming a songwriter. Little did he know, his path would take some unexpected turns, from forming the duo “Walker McGuire” with Jordan Walker to carving out a successful solo career. We dive into his early days in Nashville and how everything changed when he found himself sitting next to Jordan Walker at the Commodore Grille—just a few days after arriving in town. We also talk about Johnny's creative process, his experience writing for other artists, and his collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus on “Chevys and Fords.” Plus, Johnny shares the story behind his latest hit, "Already Had It," which was featured in the 2024 movie “Twisters,” and what it was like to hear it on the big screen for the first time. We even dive into his thoughts on country music's evolution, advice for aspiring artists, and how he's been staying true to himself while navigating the industry. Our conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and, of course, some great tunes. Johnny also plays a couple of his own songs and opens up about his creative journey and what keeps him inspired. If you're looking for some real, honest advice from someone who's been through it all, Johnny's got plenty to share.

Jordan Walker, from Texas, has been around music his whole life. In this episode we are going to talk about how he got kicked out of his high school choir his senior year and how his favorite number is 2 so he moved to Nashville on 2/22/2012 to pursue music. He met Johnny McGuire and they formed the duo Walker McGuire - we talk about how that started and the story behind their hit "Till Tomorrow." He is a regular at The Listening Room with a great group of guys he writes with including Mitchell Tenpenny, Adam Doleac, Devin Dawson, Andy Albert and more. Hear the story behind how he met Luke Combs in a bar when he was driving a car that wouldn't even start and how that friendship led them to write the hit song "When It Rains It Pours" that went #1 on his birthday, October 29, 2017. You'll also hear the story behind a favorite of mine that has not been released yet and is available for any artists out there looking for their next hit! The song, "Backseat Driver," is a song about what kids will say in the backseat and as a dad myself, it's a song that I absolutely love. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did recording it.

¡Lamento que este episodio sea tan tarde! Como dicen en inglés, "I bit off more than I can chew" (o,el que mucho abarca poco aprieta). Pero me encanta, me encanta este tema, y no me di cuenta hasta demasiado tarde de que no podría terminarlo el episodio a tiempo. Pero espero que realmente disfrutes este episodio, por lo que valga la pena. :DHa pasado un tiempo desde nuestro último muestrario de canciones, ¡entonces este episodio es el momento perfecto para hacerlo de nuevo! Si bien hemos hecho muestrarios sobre canciones de cuna y villancicos, ¡el episodio de hoy se centrará en la música de country! ¿Por qué? Porque es verano, y para mí, country es el género icónico de verano para la música estadounidense. (No todos pueden estar de acuerdo, pero está bien, sé que tengo razón. ^ _ ~)*Una nota - yo estaba equivocada. Este episodio es nuestro cuarto muestrario de canciones, ¡no el tercero!Recuerda, aprender un idioma es una travesía para toda la vida.Embrace it, Enjoy it, and Share it!LAS NOTAS DEL PODCAST: © 2021 por Language Answers, LLCBlog del Episodio 52Música de la introducción y conclusión por Master_Service de FiverrMúsica de la transición para el Consejo Cultural editada de la canción por Tim Moor de Pixabay.

Old Town Road from Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X has become the most successful chart song in history, logging more weeks at # 1 since the charts began.

In a follow up project, Billy Ray has joined Johnny McGuire to release a duet called Chevys and Fords. Johnny describes what it was like working with Billy Ray on HIS new project about iconic transportation, while Old Town Road was setting the world on fire. It's a series of incredible stories as Billy Ray Cyrus and Johnny McGuire, formerly of the duo Walker McGuire join Crook & Chase for a memorable Nashville Chat.
