And as much 176 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,440 as I appreciate the southern rock sound it was it 177 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:49,720 was really refreshing to have the Athens, Georgia scene and 178 00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:52,080 have this whole movement come out of Athens, Georgia that 179 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,480 wasn't Southern. 180 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,879 Speaker 2: Rock, you know, mm hmm.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Rhad is the one that 194 00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:43,440 certainly comes to mind, but all things must pass. The 195 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,720 wide album. What was the LEDs up in physical graffiti? 196 00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:51,360 You know, we we we just thought it was always 197 00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,240 really cool to be able to have a double album. 198 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,720 And man, eds writing as prolific as always, and we 199 00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:02,759 still enjoy create eating music. So we had no no 200 00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:07,519 shortage of songs and no shortage of creative juices. Man, 201 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,720 we we were just going at it. And yeah, no 202 00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:14,120 matter what everybody tells us about what's smart or not smart, 203 00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:16,039 we still do we want to do. 204 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,759 Speaker 2: You know, well, and I tell you what, And you know, 205 00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,120 I'm not gonna sit here a lion say.

You know, 209 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080 but listening to the record, it sounds like collective soul, 210 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:34,840 you know. 211 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, uh yeah, there's you know, there's there's you 212 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,080 know we and we don't ever sound like anybody else. 213 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,159 I think that's one of our strengths.

Yeah, and yeah, like I said, Man, 220 00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:06,960 thirty years later, we're still enjoying creating, we're still enjoying 221 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,559 playing live. 222 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: Well. And when you guys started, it was what ninety 223 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,919 two when you joined the band? Correct, Yeah, when started. 224 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably would have been ninety three when I committed 225 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,080 fully and told them I would be I would play bass. 226 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:25,879 You know, my friends were, uh, all those guys were 227 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:27,759 one hundred percent committed to the rock and roll thing, 228 00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,440 and I was, I was a music major in college, 229 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:32,679 and I was like, yeah, you know, I might have 230 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,720 a recital, so I can't commit one hundred percent. But 231 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,639 at some point I was like, man, if I played 232 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:41,720 bass well, chemistry wise, will be the strongest we could be. 233 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,799 And uh, and then I committed one hundred percent and 234 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,399 it turned out to be a good move for me 235 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:50,720 because me, me, Ed and Dean still uh live on 236 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:53,440 a bus together and still create music together. 237 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: So well. In the ninety three that was still a 238 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,279 weird time in rock and roll because it was host 239 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240 the Great Wall in Nirvana, so you it was like 240 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:06,120 it was the grunge thing, but it was just kind 241 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,399 of wide open. You didn't know what was gonna stick 242 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,240 and what was going to hit. 243 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, man, we just it just happened 244 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,320 for us, and we created, you know, that first record. 245 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,279 Half of it was intended just to be a songwriter 246 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,080 demo that Ed was doing, so uh. It was a 247 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,000 collection of songs written by Ed, and we thought, you know, 248 00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:32,039 we kind of thought that the rock song off off 249 00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:33,759 that record would be the one that we would push 250 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:36,360 as the as the single song called good Night and 251 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:43,080 good Guy. But fate, fate had other ideas, and Steve 252 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,600 Robertson album eighty eight was the first college station to 253 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,720 play Shine and uh requests going off the you know, 254 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 phone phone ringing off the hook and and requests happening 255 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,039 left and right. And then Steve Robertson at w j 256 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,159 r R in Orlando was the first one to put 257 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,720 us on a kind of you know, a shootout type 258 00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:06,000 show Sunday nights where he could go off script, off 259 00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:09,279 of the corporate playlist and he could play whatever he wanted. 260 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,039 Uh And sure enough, man, he put us on that 261 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,039 Sunday night show with Sean and Uh, we were we were, 262 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,799 we were winning battles against the Pearl Jams and the 263 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,320 and the other ones. And so that was really the 264 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,519 spark that that commercial station was really the spark that started, 265 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,320 uh started that move movement there. 266 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: Well. And the thing that I that I kind of 267 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,799 dig about your sound is that it didn't sound like 268 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,200 that the Great Wall of Nirvana and and all that 269 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,480 other the other quote unquote grunched off. It's still it was. 270 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:43,080 I mean, it was all rock, but it still had 271 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,080 a different vibe to it. 272 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,639 Speaker 1: You know, we never we've never we've never went in 273 00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:52,440 there into the in the creation process and said let's 274 00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,960 let's follow this or let's try to be like this. 275 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:58,720 And even if we even if we did, I think 276 00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:01,879 we would still just revert to whatever feels natural to 277 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,319 us and whatever, you know, whatever we feel comfortable with. 278 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: I love the fact that you said you're still on 279 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,400 the bus.

We were playing live shows, but we were 311 00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:44,640 we were really doing as much in the studio as 312 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,480 we were live. Really, you know, my father's studio was there, 313 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:49,559 so we were. We were as much of a studio 314 00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:52,599 band when we were young as we were going out 315 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,279 playing trying to trying to come up with a live scene. 316 00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:58,440 We were we were we were equally trying to trying 317 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,880 to stay in the studio and play this. We basically 318 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,920 just played around Atlanta. 319 00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 2: So you and you mentioned your dand studio which you 320 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,400 own now reel the real studios. Realdashlife dot net is 321 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,279 the website. Make sure you guys check that out. But 322 00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:16,079 that must have been a nice luxury of having a 323 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,319 father who owned a studio. 324 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a it was a DA studio, 325 00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:23,279 but it was on the level I mean he got 326 00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:26,519 that tried it board straight from Oxford, England in nineteen 327 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:28,799 eighty five, and so it was on the level. It 328 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,119 was pro, but it was it was DLI but Man 329 00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:35,319 certainly Man collective Soul there. You know, that's where we 330 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,920 cut our teeth. Edw's head engineer there. That's where I 331 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,599 learned all the studio acumen and and we came out 332 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,160 of the box wanting to create songs and create music 333 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,200 and serve the songs as opposed to just I think. 334 00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:53,319 I think some bands are just playing live and trying 335 00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:55,079 to create music as good as they can, and then 336 00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:57,599 they go to the studio and they're they're not maybe 337 00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:01,319 comfortable in the studio. And we we obviously were birthed 338 00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,759 in the studios. We've always been comfortable there. 339 00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: Are as far as the studio goes. I mean, are 340 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:13,480 you guys, how how do you feel about pro tools 341 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,759 and making stuff too perfect that you can't There's a 342 00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,200 lot of bands, you know, they go in the studio 343 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,680 and they just you know, nail something, you know, with 344 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,759 a lot of help, and they go live they can't 345 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,000 reproduce it. How are you guys about that? 346 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, uh, you know, it's it's it's just 347 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,519 recording software, you know, the the it still has to 348 00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:38,240 be natural, it still has to come from this place 349 00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:43,319 of of of organic feel, and vibe pro tools won't 350 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,680 won't get that for you. You have to be a band. 351 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,119 And and yeah, I mean we've just always looked at 352 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,759 anything that you can use in the studio as a tool, 353 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,960 uh right, that we need to use as a creative tool. 354 00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:01,200 You can't think about it like I almost put it 355 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,119 in there. It's gonna fix everything. That's that that's not 356 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,720 that's not the way you do it. 357 00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:09,599 Speaker 2: Right, right, And so I'm assuming you guys are one, 358 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,559 there's no tracks going on when. 359 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: We play live. Yeah, yeah, Johnny, the way we came 360 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,119 up with that so we could get some some of 361 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,960 the sounds and some of the things that are on 362 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,799 the record that we don't do live the way. We 363 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,680 kind of found a hybrid answer for that. And me 364 00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:29,839 and me and Johnny, me and Ryan Hoyle kind of 365 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,880 started that doing that. But me and Johnny really Johnny 366 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,440 rab Our, current drummer, really honed in what the system is. 367 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,759 We just we actually have samples of the stuff, but 368 00:21:40,839 --> 00:21:45,079 he's triggering them live, so we are not chained to 369 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,640 a track. There is no pro tool system backstage for 370 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,480 us right where so many bullets are hitting play and 371 00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:54,839 playing along with it. No man, So if something happens 372 00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:57,440 to his little trigger pad, we still don't care. Man, 373 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,640 we go. We're a rock band. 374 00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: Dude. That's great to hear. I mean because, like you said, 375 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,839 a lot of bands are doing it. It's like all 376 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,599 the background vocals are tracked and it's like some of 377 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,119 the lead fuck I saw a wasp you could tell 378 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,200 he was singing to a track. Say come on, man, 379 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,440 you know fucking do this, And it's great to hear 380 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,000 that somebody's still out they're doing it real. 381 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: That just wouldn't be right for us. And I don't 382 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,160 think you. I don't I think you. We've always said 383 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,240 thinking pride in being a great live man. But I 384 00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:27,559 don't think people are asking you to sound like the 385 00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,160 record either. I think they want you to. I think 386 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,079 they want you to get close to what they love. 387 00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:38,640 You know, do your thing. But for us to think 388 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,960 we want to play along to some tracks and make it, 389 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,279 try to make it sound almost exactly like a record, 390 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:47,160 I think that's just missing the point to me. 391 00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:49,599 Speaker 2: Well, I think that takes away from the live experience. 392 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,640 Rock and roll is not supposed to be. 393 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: Perfect, you know, it's like perfectly imperfect exactly. 394 00:22:57,039 --> 00:22:59,559 Speaker 2: I mean, fuck it like one of my favorite shows 395 00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:01,519 of all time. I mean I wasn't at it, but 396 00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:04,279 I saw it on the MTV. You know, GNR Live 397 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:06,720 at the Ritz. They're fucked up, they're out of tune. 398 00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: But it was magic magic. You know, it can be magic. Absolutely, 399 00:23:12,759 --> 00:23:14,920 that's the only way to get magic. It's not magic 400 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,559 when you're playing along to something. 401 00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:22,599 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just no exactly. Do you speaking of 402 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,920 the MTV, I mean everybody talks about the first time 403 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,920 they heard themselves on the radio. Do you remember where 404 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,960 you were the first time you saw yourself on MTV? 405 00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:32,039 Speaker 1: Actually, I don't, now that you mention it, I remember, 406 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,839 I mean, Sean was on the buzz Band and it 407 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,079 was on MTV all the time. I don't remember I 408 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,640 was the first time I saw that video. Huh. I 409 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,359 remember where I was the first time I heard the 410 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,319 song on commercial radio. We were all in a van 411 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,039 together heading down to Florida to play a show because 412 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,119 that commercial station. Like I said, Jr. R. Had added 413 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,279 it on rotation and we heard it, we heard it 414 00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:59,799 on commercial radio. We're like, whoa, all right, all right, 415 00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:01,519 this is cool, this is cool. 416 00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:06,319 Speaker 2: Did you guys ever, I mean, look the Here to Eternity, 417 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,160 which comes out this Friday on the seventeenth, that's your 418 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,440 twelfth record. Did you guys ever take a break? Did 419 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,160 you guys ever say the fuck it, we're done and 420 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,880 then then come back to Because like I said, I 421 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,359 don't know a lot about the history of the band. 422 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,000 Did you guys ever break up and then come back together? 423 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,839 Have you guys been going the whole time? 424 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: Those certainly some uh those certainly like a round up. 425 00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:27,480 Right before the Youth Record, there was a few years 426 00:24:27,519 --> 00:24:30,880 there that were a little bit, a little bit of 427 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,759 shaky ground. That's you know, that's when we had some 428 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:40,160 members of the band uh uh, not being our band anymore. 429 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,680 Let's just say that, Oh yeah, that. 430 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 2: Rock and roll it happens. 431 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,319 Speaker 1: And then there was there was and there was an 432 00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,720 era where we all were working on some side projects. 433 00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:53,359 But after that, after the Youth Record, it's pretty much 434 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,799 been like, yeah, okay, we're gonna we're gonna keep doing this. 435 00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:58,559 There's no reason not to do it. It still feels 436 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:00,920 completely natural to us. I mean, you know you mentioned 437 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:06,839 here to eternity. Uh, creating and coming up with these 438 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,160 songs is still as fresh and still as inspirational, and 439 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:17,000 it's still something we crave and thrive on still today. 440 00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:21,119 So it's and we have no problem finding the songs 441 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,039 and the inspiration to do it. So man, we're not 442 00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:26,240 We're not going. It's just part of us. Man. It's 443 00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:29,400 it's we're fifty percent live or fifty percent in the studio. 444 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,200 And I don't think that'll ever change. 445 00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: Dude, that's great to hear and like, you know, like 446 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,799 I like I said before, how it sounds like a 447 00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:43,119 collective soul record. A lot of bands like you know, 448 00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:46,599 around two thousand, you know, especially after that great wall 449 00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,160 in Von hit, they tried to change. 450 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: You know. 451 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: It sounds like what's what's relevant now? And it sounds 452 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,240 like you guys just stuck with what you guys do. 453 00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:00,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we just so like I said, we 454 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,039 I don't know if it was confidence or what, but 455 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,440 we just always thought, if you do what's natural and 456 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,559 it feels good. We never chased any sound. We just 457 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,200 never did. We never even talked about it. We just 458 00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:15,160 did our own thing. 459 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,559 Speaker 2: How did how did the success affect you guys? 460 00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:29,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. You get to afford a better a 461 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,839 nice lifestyle. 462 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: I guess yeah. 463 00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:38,079 Speaker 1: Uh, it's just I think it just made us want 464 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,680 to do. You know, all we especially in the early days, 465 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,039 all we talked about was what's next. We never we 466 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,839 never looked looked back and said, wow, we did it. 467 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,599 We never ever did that, and still this day, we 468 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,200 just always talked about what's next. 469 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 2: That, dude, that's great. And because the reason I asked 470 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,279 that is because you know how sometimes like you know, 471 00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:01,160 you're a band, you're brothers, and all of a sudden 472 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,200 success happens and that's when the cracks start, and that's 473 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,880 when the egos happen, and YadA, YadA, yadas. You guys 474 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,519 didn't have to deal with that at all. 475 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think I tell this a lot, man. 476 00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:15,160 I think the fact that we literally to say it's 477 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,960 a small town story is an understatement. I mean, we, 478 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,440 me and the Rolling Brothers, we don't have a memory 479 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,680 without knowing each other each other our whole live. So 480 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,599 I think that is a different perspective than guys who 481 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,920 came together in their adult life and created a band. 482 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,519 And you know what I mean, I think it's different 483 00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:36,279 because our parents knew each other, our parents supported us. 484 00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:40,319 It was you know, it's something that just you know, 485 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,359 we we're family. 486 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: And you you have a solo record that came out 487 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,720 of what twenty eighteen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sarah Jetty Drivers. 488 00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: I say that in Serengetti like SERENGETI Setty. 489 00:27:54,319 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 2: Sorry. I closed down The Tropicanic closed last night for 490 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,839 good and I was there when it closed down and 491 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,400 I stumbled home. So I'm just are you in Vegas? 492 00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:09,559 I'm in Vegas, baby right on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk 493 00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:10,960 about your solo record a little bit. 494 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:13,519 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I started off on piano and 495 00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:17,839 drums and learned a guitar around thirteen. But man, when 496 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,759 I sit behind the piano this there's a funky, poppy 497 00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:23,960 side of me that comes out, and you know, you 498 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,160 sit there and you create these songs, and sometimes you 499 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,160 wonder if people want to hear them. But I'm proud 500 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,440 of that record. I'm working on. I'm working on collecting 501 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,079 getting together the next list of songs for the record, 502 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:37,839 for a new record. So yeah, I love getting in 503 00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:39,359 there and doing something different. 504 00:28:39,359 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: Too, do you So do you do everything yourself? 505 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: No? I love getting in other musicians to help out 506 00:28:46,759 --> 00:28:50,160 other creators, other artists. But yeah, on that record, I 507 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,279 play all kind of instruments. 508 00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 2: Sure, dude, That's like one of my gods is Richie Cottson, 509 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,880 and he that's what he does. He records everything himself 510 00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:00,799 and he goes on and plays as a you know, 511 00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,599 because obviously you can't do it yourself live unless you're 512 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,079 using tracks and cots and is non attracts guy, I 513 00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:10,200 can tell you that much. When you guys write, are 514 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,039 you guys getting the studio and jam and see what happens? 515 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,559 Or is it more like people bring shit in? 516 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean in thirty years, we've we've kind of 517 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,200 done it a number of different ways. But man, it 518 00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:28,759 starts with Ed uh D's a super prolific writer and 519 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,599 he's gotten more focused with his ideas over the years too, 520 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:38,160 So he comes in with some pretty structured songs now 521 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,880 and then we kind of we put a twist on 522 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,200 it and make it a make a collective soul song. 523 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,039 In the day, we used to do a lot more 524 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:52,400 jam let's stumble upon something, but we still will do 525 00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,720 that and and you know when we create it has 526 00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:00,720 to start. It has to be a band. It has 527 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:02,519 to it has to have a vibe of a band. 528 00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:05,279 We don't We don't just send in parts and do 529 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,799 this here and fly this here. We have to get 530 00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:12,079 together and make and get that that little energy you 531 00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:14,720 get when you play together and you find that that 532 00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:15,799 zone and ride it. 533 00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:20,039 Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, well I love that because I like, there 534 00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:21,680 are a lot of bands now it's like you we 535 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,119 put together a record, we just sent in the parts. 536 00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:28,160 It's like that, where's the magic? You know? I don't 537 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,160 think you can really get the magic without being in 538 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,039 the same room together. 539 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,519 Speaker 1: I think you can create some good music. Of course, 540 00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:36,000 you can create some hints that way too that people love. 541 00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:38,240 But in general, if you're gonna try to be a band, 542 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,599 you you need to get that.

Back in the day, 594 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,319 everything was mixed for Vinyl, and that's why it always 595 00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:22,119 sounded so much better. How different is that today? I 596 00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:26,319 ate be? I got the new Black Crows record on CD, 597 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,799 and then I traded in a bunch of my old 598 00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:31,640 CDs and that I didn't need anymore, and I got 599 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,559 the vinyl and I ate beat it and it sounded 600 00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:39,039 pretty much the same.
