GUYS >>> EACH MONTH OUR FRIENDS AT SARNA MOUNTAINS PUT ON A GREAT SHOW AT THE LINCOLN THEATER IN MARION VIRGINIA.
>>Brittany: ONE OF THE PERFORMERS WHO WILL TAKE THE STAGE NEXT MONTH IS AMERICAN ARTIST GREG MALLOY SMITH WHO JOINS US NOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING ON OUR SHOW.
>>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON HERE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
>>Brittany: SO YOUR ALBUM THUS FULL AMERICAN STORIES WAS INSPIRED BY THE DUSTBOWL.
WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO SHARE THAT TIME PERIODS IN YOUR ART?
>> THAT WAS SUCH A PIVOTAL TIME IN OUR HISTORY.
IT WAS A HUGE ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER, THE SAME TIME THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
I THINK IT SHOWS WE GET THROUGH ALMOST ANYTHING IF WE PUT OUR MINDS TO IT AND DON'T FORGET WE ARE AS AMERICANS.
>>Brittany: THAT IS SUCH A GREAT MIND SWITCH INSTEAD OF LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH, LOOK AT WHAT WE MADE IT THROUGH >>Natalie: IT RECEIVES
EXCELLENT REVIEWS, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND PRETTY CHART IS ON THE TOP TENS AMERICANA SALES CHART.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE.
WHAT HE THINK THE SONG RESONATES WITH PEOPLE NO >> FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
ONE IS WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT WITH PEOPLE STILL THINKING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND STILL THINKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
BACK THEN THEY HAD A BIG MIGRATION PROBLEM.
AMERICANS FROM THE GREAT PLAINS GOING TO CALIFORNIA AND PLACES LIKE THAT.
ALL THE SAME THEMES WERE EXISTED THENTHAT STILL EXISTS NOW.
BUT IF YOU JUST WRITE GOOD SONGS I THINK THEY RESONATE ANYWAY.
I'M NOT SAYING I WROTE ALL GREAT SONGS, I'M JUST SAYING YOU SHOULD BE TRYING TO DO THA . THAT'S WHAT I SAID WE TRY TO DO.
>>Brittany: SO YOUR SONG "I COME FROM AMERICA" IS ONE OF YOUR SONGS ON YOUR ALBUM.
WHAT INSPIRED THE SONG?
>>> THAT WAS WOODY GROWTH THREE.
HE WROTE FAMOUSLY ABOUT THE GREAT DEPRESSION DURING THAT TIME AND HE SORT OF MADE MY KIND OF MUSIC WORLDWIDE FAMOUS.
HE MADE IT WILL-KNOWN. IT WAS REALLY REGIONAL BEFORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM.
AND HE WROTE THE GREAT SONG THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND.
WANTED TO HAVE A SONG KIND OF LIKE IN THAT SAME SPIRIT.
SO AS AN ANTHEM DURING.
