The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
A viral “Top 26 Songs of 2025” list is only the start—we put every pick under the microscope to see what truly earns replay value. From Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs to Morgan Wallen's double presence and Laney Wilson's anchor tracks, we dig into the hooks, arrangements, and performances that separate a fleeting hit from a keeper. Expect honest takes, a few friendly disagreements, and a closer look at the production moves—floor tom hits, 70s textures, harmony blends—that make a chorus land.The conversation widens as we ask what makes album art timeless. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon becomes a benchmark for clarity and concept, while modern country sleeves split between glossy trends and striking, cinematic restraint. We swap community favorites—Genesis, Journey, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, King Crimson—and talk recognizability, narrative, and how a cover can hint at sound before the first note plays. You'll hear why certain designs elevate the music's myth, and where visual nostalgia actually works.News brings heart and history: Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson competing for Best Traditional Country Album is a rare, moving moment of legacy in real time. Riley Green's back-to-back solo-written No. 1s reset the conversation on authorship, Ella Langley's UK airplay run shows country's global reach, and Laney Wilson stepping into ESPN's Monday Night Football booth underlines how presence travels across mediums.Episode LinksScotty Simpson: https://jayfranze.com/episode3/Andy Hull: https://jayfranze.com/episode7/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/William Lee Golden: https://jayfranze.com/episode72/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

MUSICApple Music released its year-end data, and 2025 was good to Kendrick Lamar. He and SZA had the top song of the year in the U.S., with "Luther". Morgan Wallen had a good year, too. We discuss the the Top 10:On the Global chart, the #1 song was "APT." by ROSE and Bruno Mars. "Luther" came in second. Even though Kendrick had a great year, he did NOT accomplish his main goal, which was to END DRAKE. He was Apple's most-streamed artist GLOBALLY in 2025. Willie Nelson is tired of the internet trying to kill him off . . . and he finally said so in the most Willie way possible. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/12/01/willie-nelson-sounds-off-on-the-endless-amount-of-ai-slop-about-him-if-you-believe-those-death-stories-one-more-time/ Think you can dodge Wham! this holiday season? Think again. Whamageddon is the ultimate holiday survival game. The challenge? Make it till Christmas Eve without hearing Wham!'s “Last Christmas.” Sounds easy, right? Nope. This song is everywhere, from here on the radio to shops to the dentist's office. The rules are simple: if you hear the original 1984 version of the song, you're out and have to post your fail to #Whamageddon. But covers and remixes? Totally safe.

ohn McEuen is a Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist, producer, author, and a founding member of the legendary Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, a group that helped bridge bluegrass, folk, and country-rock for mainstream audiences starting in the 1960s. Over a career spanning more than six decades, he has performed thousands of shows, contributed to dozens of albums, and become one of the most influential acoustic musicians in American roots music. His work on banjo, guitar, mandolin, and fiddle has shaped how generations hear traditional music reimagined for modern ears.In 1971, McEuen was the driving force behind the landmark triple album “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” which brought the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band together with icons like Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Mother Maybelle Carter, Roy Acuff, and others for historic cross-generational sessions in Nashville. That project has been recognized as one of the most important country and bluegrass albums ever recorded, helping introduce younger audiences to the classic repertoire and artists who defined American roots music. The album's legacy later inspired his detailed book on the making of those sessions, further cementing his role as both participant and historian of that moment.Beyond the Dirt Band, John has built a rich solo career with multiple albums that showcase his “String Wizard” reputation, blending instrumental firepower with storytelling and cinematic arrangements. His discography includes acclaimed projects like “Made in Brooklyn,” which earned major Americana honors, as well as collaborations with artists ranging from Steve Martin to John Carter Cash and Martha Redbone. As a producer, he also earned a Grammy for Steve Martin's “The Crow,” highlighting his skill on both sides of the glass.McEuen is also an author and storyteller, with his memoir “The Life I've Picked” tracing his journey from Southern California kid to hall-of-fame banjo player working with legends like Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, the Allman Brothers, and Bob Dylan. His more recent book and projects around “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” revisit those sessions with photos, stories, and reflections that bring fans right into the circle of players. Onstage and on the page, he brings the same mix of humor, detail, and lived history that makes him such a compelling guest for any music podcast.John's contributions have been recognized with inductions into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame and the Traditional Country Music Hall of Honor, along with multiple Grammy, CMA, and ACM honors across his career.

In this episode, we're speaking with an artist whose musical journey is as compelling as his sound: A.J. Croce. While many recognize the name Croce from his father, the legendary singer/songwriter Jim Croce (who wrote classics like "Operator," "Time in a Bottle," "Bad Bad Leroy Brown," and many more) , A.J. has carved out his own distinct path in the music world. With a career spanning over three decades, he's been a working musician since he was 15 years old, releasing more than 10 albums and collaborating with icons ranging from James Brown to Willie Nelson, showcasing his prowess as a virtuoso piano player and a versatile singer-songwriter. A.J.'s latest album, "Heart of the Eternal," produced by Shooter Jennings, is a testament to his evolving artistry. In our conversation, A.J. delves into the inspirations behind his new album, his experiences growing up in a musical household, and how he's embraced his father's legacy while continuing his own musical prowess. He shares insights into his creative process, the stories behind his songs, and the personal experiences that have shaped his music. Enjoying the show?
