coming thank you Cheryl for being here
mom humming I want to ask you really talk about the present in at you
all about the past so very seedy
the path eisenhower that ok home
but but tell me by making this record I mean its you
you go on a date in nashville I have I
I'm international literally about a farm there
two weeks after I was sent us a breast cancer
and house really pre-match hysterical
very rash decision that I had really felt like a manner that point lived
I thought all over the United States down the road 21 at twenty years fifteen
years
and and it's like i diritti where
and I was nearly have a relationship but I just don't like
I have I gotta create something that feels like reality
and I mean that's not the best way to do it but I move there
eight years ago gone eight years been cancer-free
but I literally and I have good friends down there
I have done a lot I've travel and a tarpaulin with
Miller UN
and allows over Willie who is coming and now they're
and my sisters are there forever and just that I'm gonna me there
and thats how this whole record came to be a
was the fruition of it was just having so many people in nashville
encourage me
to kinda demento 19 think Israel
community players and songwriting I'm really
you know in 20 years at my my record we will just talk about hallway
chance or twenty years ago America came out twenty years ago
I guess couple months ago and
I really thought that's what music this is gonna be like I thought it was gonna
be like what it is in Nashville where you have a dinner party and then
after you know attend a beers or wine
everybody by South the Tarzan plays songs they know something written
and that is really what happens and that as a tradition that I don't believe
really exist anywhere
else and it's just for me and dream
be it is it's great it's great to have my kids grow up
with and the mentality that they live in a community
they they owe their good fortune to helping other people
in a proper it. there and and everybody there
have the same mentality and that's personal reasons I love it
them wounds inflicted Qatar police he said you all sit around in a circle and
trade songs yeah and you you know
the most part if it's anything that you know will be there in a Johnny R
meri dollar John prime
and I any those great classic songs everybody knows and see you
play with each other to harmonize with each other
needs to set a great great traditional different from LA
now Don not remember any now I remember many nights there anyway but iight
I I don't remember ever had any
and I think that really well yeah now I mean
that kinda cool things about LA to you is that you know I love parties in
there are always a lot of actors you know and that was fun but it was like
the old school actors
like warm baby and
you know people like that but national has its own thing
you know has its own royalty who
p.m. you been sorta needed those Kid Rock
to add some user two-headed toward country it seems
before you medium but yeah he's regaining the NYJ
yeah you know i i can always looked at it like
have been like this all summer
outside with the city of country and
and now the format you know the city limits is the format have
just expand expanded and I've been absorbed
basically because what I've been doing for so long has really been
oblique I like a stepchild the Flying Burrito Brothers & Emmylou and certainly
the Rolling Stones earn their
country heyday let it bleed in
exile in and so to meet and
still like that much of a departure but now the country from as a very
they're very loyal fan base and they are
you know they love their their country artists and I didn't want people to feel
like I was
doing what a lot of pop stars have them which is try to cross over into this
wonderful format that love songs and for me
that's all I know how to do you know I don't know how to write crews on how to
write a top line as they call it
and I just an arrest or reason so Brad Paisley came to me and said
after I had some with Loretta and Miranda on the CMAC
care walked up to me right back stage into now
we make a record for the format you belong to and that was
you know that actually was serious at what catapulted me into
committing to doing my favorite song on the album is is that when your team is
waterproof mascara
thank you some I don't I had a feeling he wasn't the one who thought about
makeup
out anyway it's really great his he's married to my best friend
Nashville so and I told her I was like you know a.m.
it's not every day you get Brad Paisley his written songs like
I wanna check you for ticks and you know I am
and and gone fishin and you know something like you know seriously man
xox to get him to write a check song
but but he was great you know he and Chris II
and I wrote that song is the first time we wrote for the record among other
things he said about
the country format is that an it it's great
I've had the luxury of being a you know pop artist RIII orders to whatever and I
was written songs
typically that or kinda narrative but I've been able to conduct
hide behind characters are created in the country you know you get and you
tell the story is its first person
the locals really loud and and he unit is Angela Sommers that he said in a row
this all mean it is
about being a single mom and I am
and wanna things that we talked about her
originally was you said at home as I can to make a new country record as
that's just an idea I mean I can go and sing wild horses into emerging yeah
and
when will I be loved and that sort of thing but I can go
make a new country record and and wanna things we talk about is this
this idea of telling the story about what it's like to be alive right now
at my age am and and from the famous and point which is what we kinda grew up
with the country music with the rental
had certainly dalian
Tammy and people it really wrote about
cutting-edge topics after like you know mean the pill
D I V RC when people you know when they're sick leave or stand
I mean they're just there there were a lot of topics are ushered in by these
really strong women and
I just 100 carrying mantle
and so that that song for me was that the interaction
now if I won't get cut player country visits to country
hearing that but I love it you know
with old-fashioned it cut the strings its cereal fashion hope you guys have
heard it it sounds like
and a george hasn't anyone had yes very much in the bear Billy Sherrill
tradition with
paraguay actually came in and played
pic based in Rome yeah as it's what I love you know i i kinda snuck in the
back door through
third good coroners didn't cell
been strange being a liberal banner and
well John that liberal anymore
you army okay but don't think there is now
no and I that's not true I am
you know I do I do feel like the brand of country am making is very much in
line
I'm what I've always done you know I'm I am
learning the tricks and songwriting cuz I do think some the best song writing
that exists
is a country now and in all that to say that
other formats used to have this is to have great pop songs
it's not that they don't exist now they're just crafted differently I'm
I'm happen I happen to be some old-fashioned I like a melody
I like a course even sing afternoon at once or twice
I like the whole school craftsmanship I mean I love bird Backrack
you know I love Cooper cole porter and
I love John prime you know I I'll
I love songs that take you somewhere and I'm not so much anger is apollo I listen
to it I love Justin Timberlake I love Bruno Mars I love Reanna
I love Taylor I think she's a great songwriter but for me at this stage it's
great to be
too few interesting and that doesn't mean I'm gonna and everything that I do
tell be successful at the country format
and you know anything that Brad said to me is a
your first song had hell still from the very beginning to the very end
and that was followed by another song strong enough that halcion and
I feel like I forsaken or even told myself out to make this record
that and but I did bring to
this record the influences that I had it now
all the other formats and I've been it quite the former with
that have any gave come to you exactly
I my best friend home
red mean so you gonna room with these guys and right
me yeah I did you know
it's good to get outside your fear and I'll tell you something that happened to
me when I got diagnosed with breast cancer
and I am I learned
have to be comfortable being uncomfortable
you know I learned how to to remember that every moment and
discomfort is nearing to birth something
that is gonna broaden your experience and
there was a time before I had cancer I really
I mean I did not want to see the audience and if the lights were a
bracket see your face
was distracting to me and man I as soon as I was done with radiation
as our planet or John mayor I wanted to see
I wanted to see everybody I want to make a connection I wanted to have that
experience that I felt like
I mean that Peter Frampton was having with me when i win some
at 12:30 I mean I wanted to feel like somebody was looking at me look into my
soul and
you know it's different now YouTube the play to people like this are like this
for the iPad and
but you know I crave that and I want us to have the human experience and I want
otherwise I don't wanna be
traveling and I don't wanna be there in like an hour the world has you know I
can say home right
hopefully a hit song that's not for me you know what it is
so going into riding with people I feel like
I had a lot harder things I had to to go through
than sitting with someone I don't know very well and drawing a line that I'm
kinda know it's just a little sucky and
and in a risking it and knowing the hay and then after a seven-hour
and some ass is gonna come back at me and its
at the individual we're gonna have written something that wasn't created
before we wrote it
and something lovely about that %um
