So 30 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:27,759 this is this first track on the album. It was put out last month 31 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,360 and it's called John Henry. This was my attempt at writing a John Henry 32 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,519 song because being a folks singer. I wanted one because everyone else has one, 33 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:46,800 all right. John Henry was a steel drap in Maine. John hen 34 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:55,240 was a steel drap in Maine. He never looked for call because they tortured 35 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:01,839 land. John Henry, it was a steel trap and main in the mountains. 36 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:13,839 I beat torn down the mountains. I be torn down faster than John 37 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:23,519 Henry ever swung his hand around the mountains. I be torn down. There's 38 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:32,759 dirty water in the streams. There's dirty water in the streams. Very good 39 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:40,680 for men, but they only care about machinets. There's dirty water in the 40 00:05:40,959 --> 00:06:12,360 streams. John Henry beat the steam drill with only a hamber in his hand. 41 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:21,680 Blood. It'll take more than that two fred coal from this lane. 42 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:31,920 The air in the mountains saint clean. The air in the mountain saint clean. 43 00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:41,399 And you can't beat a steam drill if cambery. The air in the 44 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:50,560 mountains saint clean. John Henry was a steel driving Maine. John Henry was 45 00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:59,639 a steel driving main. He never worked for coal because they torture than. 46 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:14,240 John Henri was esteem draving main. John Henry was esteem traving main. Oh, 47 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,279 I love it, I love it. Cameron Suttfit is with us a 48 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,480 live in studio here, and uh, you sound great. Your voice is 49 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:25,959 unique. I can't think of I can't think of anyone who sounds quite like 50 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,759 you. You get compared to anybody that I'm maybe not thinking of sometimes Bob 51 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:32,920 Dylan, because I like I like Bob Dylan, and I also I'm a 52 00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:36,120 big Neil Young fan. Okay, but I don't have as high a voice 53 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,240 as Neil Young does. Yeah, No, that's that's true. Yeah. 54 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:43,519 Are those are those guys big influences of yours? Oh? Yeah, yeah, 55 00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:47,000 I got into I got into Bob Dylan when I was a teenager. 56 00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:51,040 So my first Bob Dylan record because I'm in my thirties was Modern Times from 57 00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:55,079 the two thousands. And then I had to go backwards. Oh okay, 58 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,480 and and you know figure out that there was the free wheeling Bob Dylan, 59 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:01,399 you know, Blonde on Blonde on the Nashville Skyline and all the other ones. 60 00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,600 Did did going back and listening to those earlier releases did that kind of 61 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,360 change? Like you did? You appreciate those more because you know artists who've 62 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,639 been around for you know, decades, like Bob Dylan, who've had that 63 00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:18,240 kind of a career. You know, everybody always says, oh, I 64 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,879 like the earlier stuff better. But I'm curious if from your perspective, because 65 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:26,480 you you really discovered him late in his career, I'm curious if you feel 66 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,079 that same way or I mean, I I like the early stuff. It's 67 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,919 you know, I think I think most everything Bob Dylan does is genius. 68 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,519 But I remember going I saw Bob Dylan many years ago with my family in 69 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,360 Amherst, Massachusetts, and I was sitting next to So I went with my 70 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,360 mom and my dad and my brother, and I was sitting next to my 71 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:50,440 mom and he started playing stuff from Modern Times on up to Temptest, which 72 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:52,360 was the latest record at that point, and my mom looks at me goes, 73 00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:56,799 how do you know these songs? Said, because he's not doing anything 74 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,639 from the seventies. I think at the end he did Tangled Up in Blue, 75 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,120 and my mom I was like, oh, okay, I know that 76 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,080 one. Yeah, yeah, I know I've heard that he'll do that, 77 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:09,840 like he'll kind of he doesn't necessarily want to load up his set with a 78 00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:13,799 lot of the earlier material, which is interesting because there were probably people, 79 00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,000 I mean, they might not have shown it but there were probably people in 80 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,399 that audience who were actually not pleased that he wasn't leaning more on the earlier 81 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,320 stuff, you know what I mean. There were behind usk where the band 82 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:28,799 DAWs was opening for him, So there were some There was a couple guys 83 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,320 there who I thought were older. They were probably my age or mid twenties. 84 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:37,000 Yeah, I was a teenager I was at the time, and they 85 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,240 were there for DAWs and for the modern times up. So there was about 86 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,039 about half and half of the crowd, yes, younger than half was was 87 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,320 you know, wanted the you know seventies eighties material, right right, that's 88 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,639 interesting, And tell us about this album. So you sent me Now this 89 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:56,279 is your debut album, not your debut release because you have an EP that 90 00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:00,120 you have put out previously, but the song that we played at the the 91 00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:03,159 show, and we're gonna play another one of course later. But these are 92 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,960 from your thirteen track full full length album. Yep, yeah, yeh, 93 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,360 yes, yep. It's a ten track and yeah, yep. I made 94 00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:15,200 it in a Rocking Horse studio in Pittsfield, New Hampshire. I'm bad at 95 00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:16,679 math. Rocking Horse. That's a name that comes up a lot on the 96 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,480 show. Yep, they're really great. And then I so I went there 97 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,080 and recorded with my guitar, and then I outsourced because I know some musicians 98 00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,480 in Nashville. I used to live in Nashville, Tennessee, and I so 99 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,919 I had the bass player, the upright bass player was from upstate New York 100 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:35,240 and he comes down to Rocking Horse once a month and does a whole bunch 101 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:39,159 of sessions. And then the steel players from Nashville. The fiddle player, 102 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:45,440 Amy Alvey, now lives in Nashville, but she used to live in Boston. 103 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,399 She's in a bluegrass too called Golden Shoals, and I met her on 104 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,600 a tour called the Massachusetts Walking Tour many years ago. Yeah. And then 105 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:58,879 I had my friend Kat Kennedy sing on a couple of tracks and she's out 106 00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:05,240 in LA. And then my my friend Mary Hastings, who's out of Conquered 107 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,840 New Hampshire, where I am technically out of until August first, but after 108 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,919 the wedding I will be there anymore. She sang backing vocals in Rocking Horse, 109 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,840 so okay. And we used to play in a duo called New Leaves, 110 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,200 and we stopped that duo last year because Mary went back to school full 111 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,080 time. Is that who I'm here? Because because there's a couple of songs 112 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,639 where, yeah, I hear this female backing vocal that it's just beautiful or 113 00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:33,440 or actually on what track is it? Oh? I think it's Mansion on 114 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,000 the Hill. Yeah, that's she. She sings with you and and you 115 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,080 sound amazing together. Thank you? Yep? So so yeah, and that's 116 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,639 that song I wrote in That's the only song I played that I wrote in 117 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,440 college. Really because because the because when you go to Nashville about your first 118 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:54,000 writer's round, you realize you have to throw all your Oh shoot, that's 119 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960 not good, you know, I have to yeah, start over. What 120 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,200 is that a writer's round For people who don't know, it's where you play, 121 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,960 you get up with with it's you and two or three other writers. 122 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,720 Yeah, and you play three to four songs and you just go around, 123 00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,159 so you just go right down the line. Is that unique to Nashville? 124 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,440 Do you know? Or do they? I don't know. Maybe I think 125 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,919 maybe I've heard of that happening in New York too, but it seems like 126 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,639 it's kind of an unusual thing. And I started in Nashville. There's a 127 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,360 couple of places that do it in There was a place prior to twenty twenty 128 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,519 called the Open Door Cafe and I played there. That was in near like 129 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,559 Hillsborough, New Hampshire. They'd move locations, so they played basement of an 130 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,919 old church that played on a farm, and they would have one feature that 131 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,159 would get forty five minutes, and then they would have a couple rounds of 132 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,720 people. Okay, so yeah, people have you know, taken that. 133 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,519 But that was a Nashville model that moved its way up to New York. 134 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,080 And Okay, is that intimidating the first time you do that? Because I 135 00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,480 mean you're in Nashville, you know you're you're among some heavy hitters. Is 136 00:12:52,519 --> 00:13:00,440 that nerve racking or it it was? I think the second time? Oh 137 00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:01,639 no, no, the first time I did it. I did it. 138 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:07,000 It was called the Commodore Hotel and the feature I didn't know who the feature 139 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,440 was, and I was going after the feature. I was in the last 140 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,759 round of the night because I was new. And the feature gets up and 141 00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:20,399 he says, this song is a song that I wrote and it's currently in 142 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,440 the top thirty on the country charts and plays it and they goes, this 143 00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:26,879 song was a top twenty two years ago, and I went, can I 144 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,320 not, like, why couln't you put me on earlier? I don't want 145 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,759 to follow that. Like this guy's got hits, he has kids, and 146 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,679 then so he played like three or four hits and then he's like, this 147 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,559 is a new song. I went, Thank goodness, that's intimidating it. 148 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,039 I can imagine. I can imagine. Well, I'm dying to hear you 149 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,840 play another one. If you're just joining us. We have Cameron Suttfin here 150 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,279 with us live in studio. By the way, is this the earliest in 151 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,120 the day you've ever played live? Did when I moved back to when I 152 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,480 moved back to New England in twenty nineteen. I think I did a radio 153 00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,159 interview near Pittsfield, Massachusetts. I believe that one was seven thirty or eight 154 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,559 in the morning. Okay, yeah that that think that was the earliest, 155 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,159 yeah, ever I've ever played. Yeah. Yeah, it's not so much 156 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,639 the plan, right, it's the singing that's the challenge. I can in 157 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,360 the morning. You sound great though, thank you. I've had my coffee. 158 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:24,639 Yeah, yeah, I mean I can wake up and play guitar. 159 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,320 You know, yeah, anytime in the morning, So we'll do this. 160 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:48,840 One's called without her, all right? Every sunrise and set, every chord 161 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:58,840 that I fret, it doesn't matter. It's all always without her. Every 162 00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:05,799 line then a I right, doesn't matter. On a lonesome night, there 163 00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:16,080 are all aways is without her. When I walk down the street, there's 164 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:28,559 no one beside me. I'm alone in a crowd without her. When I 165 00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:37,360 turn out my lights, there's no one to hauled me through the night. 166 00:15:41,759 --> 00:16:08,320 When I get up in the morning, come there alone. And when I 167 00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:18,799 dream there's only darkness. It seems I can't see the light without her. 168 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,960 When I go to the bar, it doesn't feel right at all, because 169 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:38,039 I try to forget I'm without her. When I lay my head to rest, 170 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:52,600 all I feel is empty nest. When I get up with the sun, 171 00:16:56,039 --> 00:17:06,480 nothing matters now that she's gone. Every sunrise and set, every cord 172 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,400 that I fret, it doesn't matter. It's all a ways without her. 173 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:23,880 When I laid down to sleep and Lorne calls me, will lie still be 174 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:33,240 without her? Oh that's beautiful, that's beautiful. I love it. If 175 00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:37,799 you're just joining us, Cameron Suttfin is here with us, alive in studio 176 00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,720 on this Saturday morning. It is, of course Saturday, July thirteen, 177 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:47,119 twenty twenty four. And are you playing out a lot? Do you play 178 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,279 a lot of shows? Yeah? So I'm lucky. So this is my 179 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,880 full time job. And so like this afternoon and sometimes mornings a little late 180 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,240 in this about ten thirty I play. I play nursing homes. That's my 181 00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:04,240 quote unquote day job. And then I play a lot of folk venues, 182 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,480 a lot of coffee houses and library lawn concerts. I've got a couple of 183 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:12,720 those coming up in August. And you know, Farmers' Market's really any community 184 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,960 event type thing where they want, you know, classic country and folk music. 185 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,039 Yeah. Yeah. How long were you in Nashville when you lived down 186 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:25,799 there? Three years? Three years? Yea, three years? What brought 187 00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:30,400 you back? There's no I wasn't making any money. Yeah. It's tough, 188 00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,960 right because it's you know, you're surrounded by all this great talent, 189 00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:37,240 but you're surrounded by all this great talent. It's kind of a double edged 190 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:38,920 sword in Nationville, right. Yeah. And so my roommate was a guy 191 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,599 who played on the EP that I made named Ashton Lee, and he taught 192 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:51,000 me a lot, and he moved out to Colorado, and then the following 193 00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:52,480 year I moved back up to New Hampshire. You know, I moved back 194 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,519 to New England. I'm from Connecticut originally. Oh, okay, okay, 195 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:03,359 yeah, because you know, it's a it's a hard scene. The rent 196 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:10,200 is insanely expensive because Nashville is it's a booming city. And I do a 197 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,119 lot better in New England. Yeah, in Nashville. So I'm quite happy 198 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,839 here, Yeah, no doubt. But I bet you wouldn't trade the experience, 199 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,839 right, because I'm sure you learned a ton. Oh, I learned 200 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,319 a ton. I got to make it out, you know, I got 201 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,279 to make three song CD down there, and that was really nice, and 202 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,599 I learned how to go into a studio. Yeah. So the second time 203 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,000 I did it here, I wasn't as intimidated because I knew what I was 204 00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:33,000 getting into, right, right, that makes sense, That makes sense. 205 00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:37,039 Did you have mentors in Nashville? Did you have people who kind of took 206 00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:40,440 you under their wings? I mean the main guy and I just met him 207 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,559 because I needed, you know, I needed a roommate. Was my roommate, 208 00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:48,559 Ashton Lee. And he's my age, and he went to school for 209 00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:52,920 music and he knew way more than I did, Yeah, and he really 210 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,759 helped me. And then I had this woman I met at a writer's round 211 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,160 who was who was, you know, signific old than me, had been 212 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,240 writing Nashville for about I think at the time seven years, and her name 213 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:08,599 was deb Ziem's and she helped me learn how to lay a song out on 214 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,559 a page and how to write, and we did a couple of co writes 215 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,200 and that really helped. Yeah, yeah, excellent. How did you get 216 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:25,480 into playing at nursing homes? So I started playing in a church folk group. 217 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:29,640 It was Holy Family Church at the time in Nfield, Connecticut, my 218 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,759 hometown, and there were three nursing homes in the town and every Christmas one 219 00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:38,400 of the guitar players with the Lions Club would have us go play. And 220 00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:42,279 I asked somebody, I said, Hey, could I just play here? 221 00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:45,400 Because I was like thirteen and one at any gig And I said, yeah, 222 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,440 you can play. And then I found out that they'd paid for it. 223 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:52,680 Yeah, and I was like, oh, oh, it doesn't just 224 00:20:52,759 --> 00:20:56,079 have to be volunteers, like, yeah, we'll give you some money. 225 00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,599 Yeah, and it just you know, and then I started calling more up 226 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,960 and then I figured out, well, I can go make a living at 227 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,279 it and you know, not have to get quote unquote a real job. 228 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,440 Yeah, that's fantastic. Just go play a bunch of shows and then at 229 00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:18,400 night you can do all the folk type venues. That's fantastic. There's a 230 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,880 lot of musicians. There's a guy who met playing the Biggie I played there 231 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,200 a couple of years of Connecticut building a gun named Sean Taylor who's out of 232 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,720 Connecticut, and we were playing, you know, late afternoon, and we 233 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,119 discovered we did the same and we were doing the same thing. He's like, 234 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,319 oh, yeah, I was doing that the other day. And now 235 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,640 I'm here, you know, doing you know, twelve to two and I 236 00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:44,119 was doing two to four after him, and yeah, oh wow, discovering 237 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,680 we did the same type of thing, that's awesome. You want to play 238 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,559 another one? Yeah, we'll do one off of the We'll do one off 239 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,440 the Nashville one. Oh cool. This this this one, so this song 240 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:59,559 called drive and I put this out so seven years ago this the Nashville EP 241 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,079 came out called Heartbreakdown, and it was my fiance's suggestion I'll give Millicent all 242 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,359 the credit for this. She heard the songs and I had told her that 243 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,559 I was going to put out this new ten track and she said, well, 244 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,519 be a shame if you know, because they had like no streams. 245 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,799 Oh yeah. And she said, well, you know, be a shame 246 00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:21,319 if you know they're good songs. Should do something with one of them. 247 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,599 And so she said, you know, you should make a video. And 248 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,440 so I made a lyric video to this song Drive, and I had someone 249 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,279 in La make it, you know, for me. And it was lyrics 250 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,519 and tour pictures of all the tours I'd done with friends and camping. We 251 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,440 camped all across the country with a couple friends. Yeah, and it got 252 00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:45,000 now has eleven thousand views on YouTube, which is my first, my first 253 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:51,079 first video to have over ten thousand views. I was quite grateful to Milicent, 254 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,119 my fiance, for making that suggestion because it worked. So. Yeah, 255 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,839 it's called Drive. It's about driving around the country. I've been to 256 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,319 now thirty two states in d C. No kidding, Wow, the only 257 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,920 one I flew to was California. Yeah. That was last year to go 258 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,640 to music festival with my brother, so we we both flew in and then 259 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,440 flew out. Oh okay, I didn't. So it was like, oh, 260 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:18,640 you're gonna drive? I said, no, that's a hike. But 261 00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:22,880 I was playing the Merrymack Public Library a few years ago and I played this 262 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,359 song and this woman bought the CD and she said she was doing a cross 263 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,000 country trip and she was going to listen to it the entire time. And 264 00:23:30,039 --> 00:23:33,079 I said, well, it's only three minutes, so that might might want 265 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,079 to throw in other songs, right, that's going to be a that's going 266 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,079 to be on a repeat for a lot. I think she was going to 267 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,599 either Nevada or Arizona. She said she was driving out. Okay, so 268 00:23:42,680 --> 00:24:03,920 it's called drive.

I can, I can. 289 00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:52,559 I can kind of picture it. But like you said, you know, 290 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,880 not necessarily listening to it over and over and over. But I did 291 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,759 even want to calculate it though the times you after repeat to get from here 292 00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:06,319 to the Midwest. Now, how did you how did you wind up working 293 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,920 with Rocky Horse? Like I said, that's a name that comes up a 294 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,640 lot on the show and a very popular studio. How did you connect? 295 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,799 It's Brian, right, yes, Brian, Yes, Ryan, I forget 296 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,400 his last name. Now I know him too, and I'm blanking. I 297 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,799 know a lot of Brian's I'm blanking on too. It's on the back of 298 00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:22,720 the album. That's the right Brian from Rocky Horse. How did you connect 299 00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:27,240 with him? I ended up, you know, googling studios in New Hampshire 300 00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:32,119 and it's about twenty minutes from where I live, and they had, you 301 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,960 know, samples in their website. And when I was making it, I 302 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,680 was playing with Mary Hastings. When when we were playing with the duo, 303 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:45,119 we're playing Market Days and the guy's running soundar in this band called Club Soda, 304 00:27:45,839 --> 00:27:52,240 and they their female singer was having a hip surgery and they said to 305 00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:56,880 Mary, they said, we're doing this gig in Maine. Can you fill 306 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,359 in on a couple of songs? And then they said to me, oh, 307 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,519 could you play two on some songs? And we were in front of 308 00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,559 those twenty one outside it was I think it was. They said just under 309 00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:10,960 a thousand people, which really nice of them. And as we're getting set 310 00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:15,480 up in sound checking, I mentioned I was making an album and they said, 311 00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:17,640 oh where, and I said rocking course. They said, oh, 312 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,799 my gosh, we've been there. They're great and they really are great guys. 313 00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:23,440 So I didn't know, you know, the reputation. I just heard 314 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,319 the tracks they were doing and he said, oh, this sounds great, 315 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,039 I'll go there. Oh it's Cooms, right, Brian Coome, Yes right. 316 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,200 I knew it would come to me eventually. They were great. They 317 00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:33,640 were great. Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Yeah, I've been to that 318 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,559 studio. It's it's very impressive. Are you going to uh now, do 319 00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:42,240 you have more?

Yep, June fourth came out, So you're probably not even 322 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,359 thinking about the next one yet, or maybe you are. I don't know. 323 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,720 I've got I've got I've got a handful of songs. Yeah, yeah, 324 00:28:55,799 --> 00:28:57,720 that I could.

I said, okay, that's half a record. Yeah. Yeah. 331 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,599 When you're working with Brian, because a lot of people have described this 332 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,359 experience to me, does he become I mean, obviously he's you know, 333 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:29,440 he's engineering, he's recording you. But does he also become sort of a 334 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,559 de facto producer because I know he's got a lot of ideas. He does. 335 00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:38,440 Yeah, he does. And that was really apparent when so I did 336 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,200 my guitar and vocals and then I went in, I readd some vocals, 337 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,880 a couple of tracks, and then when when Mary Hastings was in the studio, 338 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,319 she sings on four of the tracks, and yeah, he was very 339 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,279 much you know, saying try this here and try that there, and and 340 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,920 then he you know, cut it together and okay, you know that sounds 341 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,039 good over here, we'll move it around and yeah, yeah, then we've 342 00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:04,200 got you know, a good track. Doesn't surprise me he's known for being 343 00:30:04,279 --> 00:30:07,359 kind of a wizard. He can. You know, he's got a lot 344 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,319 of ideas and oh yeah, he's very very creative guy himself. Yeah. 345 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,319 Absolutely, you want to play another one?

So, 399 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,039 but you try to hit that. I try to hit that every hour 400 00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:39,119 with the new with the World Radio premieres here on Matt Connorton Unleashed. Have 401 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:45,519 these studio tracks? Have these been playing on the radio before? So some 402 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,280 of them have. Yeah. So I was on the show just where they 403 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,960 all came out, called the Folk Revival. That's at a Wooster Okay. 404 00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:54,440 So yep, that's a Nick Nobles show. So yep, he played a 405 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,960 couple of them. I'll have to look that up. That's not a show 406 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,679 that I'm familiar with, but that's that's on and with Yeah that' said a 407 00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:02,719 Wooster Okay. Okay, interesting, all right, very cool, very cool. 408 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,960 By the way, So when you play out, do you ever is 409 00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,199 it always just you solo or do you ever have other musicians to join you. 410 00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:13,760 It's it's pretty much now it's always me solo. So I played in 411 00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:16,960 a duo with my friend Mary Hastings also played and do it with my friend 412 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:22,719 married a proto. That's that's many more years ago. I do have a 413 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:30,039 the bass player actually at Saint John Jugon Church in the folk group. He 414 00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:32,679 told me to message in the tracks and he said, if you ever played 415 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,760 locally, I'll play, So we might do something, you know after after 416 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,960 I'm married. Yeah, and I'll have him backing me. But he doesn't 417 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,599 want to travel too far. He's like, just local Connecticut, you know. 418 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,440 Yeah, but it's mainly me. One of my favorite singer songwriters, 419 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,159 Guy Clark, who said, you know, you can make a living if 420 00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:55,599 you can play solo because there's very little overhead exactly. So it's yeah, 421 00:36:55,639 --> 00:36:59,719 it's mainly been just me, but you know that might change. I might 422 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,079 have you know, backing musician or two sure come along with me. But 423 00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:07,400 there is there are advantages, of course, you know, practically and logistically 424 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,559 to being a solo act. You know, I myself, I'm a musician, 425 00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:13,400 but I've only ever played in bands, so I know that. You 426 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,599 know, with bands, it's always there's the challenges of working around even just 427 00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:20,719 for rehearsals, you know, working around everyone's schedules. And then when you're 428 00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:23,119 trying to book shows, okay, you gotta find out is everybody available to 429 00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:25,480 do it? And this and that. So when it's just you and a 430 00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:30,159 guitar, you know you can. You know, that part's pretty easy in 431 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:37,280 that in Nashville because there's you know, so many bands and so my So 432 00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:39,519 I'll give the example my roommate, Ashton Lee. So when he would book 433 00:37:39,519 --> 00:37:44,679 a show with his band, he had a guitar player, bass drummer, 434 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,960 he and he would sing and play guitar as well. And if the drummer 435 00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:52,360 couldn't make it, because oh I've got another gig, yeah, he'd start 436 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:57,920 calling around and then he'd send the new drummer for that night the set list 437 00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:00,760 no kidding, and go here you know, here, here's the covers, 438 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,920 here's the originals, listen to the track be ready to go, and you're 439 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,559 expected to just go no kidding. Same thing for bass player, guitar. 440 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,880 You know, here's the charts, here's the covers, here's the originals. 441 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,920 Listen to him, and this is the set list for the two or three 442 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,360 hour show. I'll be damned, no kidding. Wow. I suppose if 443 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,159 there's a city where you know, you could you can pull that kind of 444 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,719 system off, it's Nashville, right, I mean maybe they do that other 445 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,119 places too. But they found a they were playing tourist spot lower Broadway, 446 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,880 and they got done and then this guy from a different honky TNK runs over. 447 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,360 He says, can you guys come play another three hours because our band, 448 00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:44,960 just the band there just they can't make it. Something happened, yeah, 449 00:38:45,079 --> 00:38:46,960 and I said, well we can, but our bass player can't. 450 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,440 He's got to go play over there. So they ran around, found a 451 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,280 bass player and went, here's the set. Wow, And they removed the 452 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,159 originals because the bass player had never heard. So they just said, here's 453 00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:00,079 the set and we'll do the substitute these others. Can you do it? 454 00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:06,519 He said, think So that's wild, that's incredible. And they did another 455 00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:09,880 three hours and he said yeah, he said one okay, basically a new 456 00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:13,920 ninety percent of you know, it's the same country covers. Yeah, they 457 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,840 do ninety percent of the set and there might be one song's like, oh, 458 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,039 I don't know that one. They just tell them what key it's in. 459 00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,679 Yeah, okay, this key feels like that, and the drummer counts 460 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,679 it off in a way they go, that's amazing. But so you've really 461 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:29,719 got to have your chops though in that kind of a situation, right, 462 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,599 because if you're in a scenario, or if a scenario might arise, I 463 00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:36,400 should say, where you're gonna be called upon? You know, you got 464 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,119 to either know these songs or you got to learn them really fast, like 465 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,559 you've You've really got to be on your game.

So that's the that's the title track. And I I I just 484 00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:55,679 I named it that because I felt the album was pretty personal.

So this song, this is the only pandemic 487 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,480 song on the record. I promise I didn't overload it. I know we're 488 00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:16,360 four years out, but this song came from I was visiting a particular sisty 489 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,599 living in Kennebunk, Maine in twenty twenty. They let me inside which was 490 00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:27,519 incredible. And this woman after the show and by came up to me, 491 00:41:27,639 --> 00:41:30,679 I meant eighteen feet away because the staff wouldn't let anyone go near anybody. 492 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:36,639 Yeah yeah, And she said, you know, I understand that there's this 493 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,199 virus out there, but I'm in my eighties and I would just want to 494 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,639 see my family and I don't care because honestly, how long do I have 495 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,559 to live? And there's no end to this. And I went home that 496 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:52,639 night thinking about it, and I wrote this song from her perspective and everyone 497 00:41:52,719 --> 00:42:00,960 there because there was absolutely no end in sight. In twenty twenty one, 498 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,559 when everything starts to open up, those nursing homes were dead last to open 499 00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,519 up. Yep. Oh yeah. And people didn't. They're like, it's 500 00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:15,199 back to normal. I'm like, what there's there's this one population that they 501 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:20,840 won't let do much still and even in gosh, it was just last year, 502 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,920 some of them said no more masking in nursing homes. Yeah, oh 503 00:42:23,039 --> 00:42:27,719 yeah, yeah, they were pretty Yeah, they waited. They waited for 504 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,159 a long time and navigating that and I knew a lot of people that were 505 00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:35,760 working in, you know, in those places that ended up, you know, 506 00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:38,639 moving on to other jobs, because that was never mind the residents living, 507 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:43,199 that was just the employees that just said, I've had enough with healthcare. 508 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,559 I'm going to go.

This is called what Makes 562 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,400 It Great? Any anything we should know about this before we before we play 563 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:37,199 it. No, So I wrote it. So I wrote it all the 564 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:43,239 way back in it was twenty seventeen, and everybody in twenty sixteen there were 565 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,440 a lot of musicians running protest songs with the line we don't need to be 566 00:48:45,519 --> 00:48:50,719 made great. And I gave myself a challenge to use that line, but 567 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,159 to not be specific. Okay, because Bob Dylan, when he wrote protest 568 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:59,920 songs, was not specific. Anyone could use them for anything. That's true. 569 00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:02,280 You know, the time blowing in the wind was not specific. Times 570 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:07,639 they are changing, was not specific as to what the senders or congressman before 571 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,960 against it was just general. Yeah, you're right, and so I haven't 572 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,440 thought about it. So I gave myself that challenge. I actually, can 573 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,000 I write a song with that phrase in it and not make it specific? 574 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,599 Yeah? And it was about old car I used to own that got up 575 00:49:21,639 --> 00:49:23,320 to two hundred and ninety five thousand miles and it got trading for it. 576 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,679 Oh my god. And the car out there just hit over two hundred thousand 577 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,239 miles and it's still running. I've been very, very lucky with cars. 578 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,920 What kind of car is it? I'm curious now, So the car out 579 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,960 there is a Nissan Versaka and then the car and the song was a twenty 580 00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:43,199 twelve day Sonata, no kidding? Wow? All right, well, very 581 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,280 good. So we will close with this. This is called what Makes It 582 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,599 Great?
