(car engine whirring) - One, two.
One, two, three.
- [TJ] But I think when you make music
you're always kind of thinking of what your legacy will be.
And I always like to think of, man,
I'd like to have made something that was cool 10 years ago,
and would be cool 10 years from now.
And when you kind of see things that have stuck around
and make it through you're like,
"Okay, that was (indistinct)."

- [TJ] When I'm thinking about gear,
whether it's recording gear or instruments,
I always go vintage.
- If you went back to early '50s
and you bought a telly, most likely,
it will pick it up and it will look
and play like this. (guitar strums)
This is built very much to spec.
- People have tried doing different tuners.
They tried doing different scales.
They've tried different pickup positions
and it just always goes back to those original instruments,
'cause they're just tried and true.
We grew up with a very musical household
and there was always instruments around.
Both of our parents wrote songs.
We would always sit in this shed that was out back
and we would make recordings of like pretending
we were on a radio station
and just the whole thing at songs we had written.
And so we constantly grew up around that.
And then our dad would record his originals
and then, we'd have people over at the house
and they would set up the microphones,
put speakers up, and just kind of put on a show
where they would play original music.
- As a guitar player,
I would obsess about certain guitar players.
And then I realized the closer I got to sounding like them,
the best that I could ever be was second.
Because if you have a person that can perfectly replicate
Stevie Ray Vaughan,
he becomes the guy that sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan.
You don't wanna do it too much because you want to have
your own voice, you know?
And in the songwriting is similar,
you don't just wanna copy other people's lines
but you learn from them and then you find your own voice.
And I equate it to an accent.
You know, you're around a certain group
of people for a while,
you'll start to talk like them a little bit.
And then you go around a different group of people
for a couple years, you'll start to talk like them.
And then throughout the years
of just being around a bunch of different influences,
you create your accent.
And Brothers Osborne, I think it just has its own accent.
- Lot of people will talk about our influences
and be like, "Man, this song sounds like this,
this sounds like that.
Or there's a little bit of influence here and there
and they're all over the place."
And at the time we don't realize that.
But they almost always, when someone hears a little
nod to something, it's someone we're usually a fan of.
So, and we grew up listening to all of that.
Inevitably it comes out.
(guitar thrumming)
I think it's awesome to be here in RCA.
I mean, obviously there's a lot of history here
but there was also the history of the fact
that they wanted to tear this place down
at some point in time.
- [John] We used to live three or four blocks
over from here. - Yeah, around the corner.
- And I just loved passing.
I just love thinking, man,
of all the people that recorded in there, you know,
from Willie and Waylon to Dolly Parton, you know
it has certainly stood the test of time.
I mean, this is kind of where the soul lives
in the Nashville musical sound.
And I think it still has the same mojo
as it ever did if not more. - Oh, absolutely.
Yeah. (guitar thrumming)
