Speaker 2: I r a dot com.
Speaker 1: Excited to have country superstar and just an amazing man,
Speaker 1: mister Lee Greenwood joining us, and he's got a new
Speaker 1: album Start the World over again.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'll actually be in your territory and I'm
Speaker 3: taking both of my son's pheasant hunting.
Speaker 2: Oh very nice. Where do you go pheasant hunting?
Speaker 3: Mike Ingram has a ranch there and just a dedicated
Speaker 3: to Horatio Alger. We raised we raised money for that
Speaker 3: great foundation.
Speaker 1: That is fantastic. Well, we're excited to have you. Do
Speaker 1: you fly into Sioux Falls?
Speaker 3: Then I think we're flying into Pierre.
Speaker 2: Okay, very very nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, around here they say peer like peer pressure, but
Speaker 1: it's all good. I'm sure it's I'm sure it's ok
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's Pierre. I guarantee. It was named after
Speaker 1: like a French fur trader back in the day. So
Speaker 1: you have done so so well, and I love the
Speaker 1: fact that you've got a brand new thing that you're doing.
Speaker 2: Here. Tell me a little bit about this new album.
Speaker 3: So if you saw the Reagan film, there was a
Speaker 3: lot of music in it. There are two albums from it.
Speaker 3: One album actually is a reflection of all the songs
Speaker 3: that were in the film Reagan. The second album is
Speaker 3: songs inspired by the film. All of those pieces of music,
Speaker 3: with the exception of one, were songs that we played
Speaker 3: during the Reagan era. And I say that Reagan era
Speaker 3: did eight years of his presidency. One song that stands
Speaker 3: out is a song that was co written or so
Speaker 3: co written by Curb and Reagan and now Lee Greenwley.
Speaker 3: Mark Joseph, the producer of the film, came to me
Speaker 3: about two years ago and said, I think I have
Speaker 3: lyrics from Curb and Reagan that seemed to be what
Speaker 3: they wanted intended, and that is a song, and he
Speaker 3: played it for me. There was a little bit of
Speaker 3: recording of the two of them talking. I said, I
Speaker 3: cannot find a song here anywhere. I'll tell you what
Speaker 3: I'll do. I'll rewrite it, I'll make an original song.
Speaker 3: I'll give credit to Reagan and with the title start
Speaker 3: the World over Again. It is a single release from
Speaker 3: that second album this week.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: And the movie was phenomenal, and I love that you
Speaker 1: were involved in that. We had a chance to go
Speaker 1: when it was in theaters and it was just an
Speaker 1: amazing film. And the music throughout the film was fantastic,
Speaker 1: And I love that not only is there an album
Speaker 1: with that music, but there's also an album inspired by
Speaker 1: the film. And again, this new song of yours start
Speaker 1: the world over again. This is a beautiful song. And
Speaker 1: when you set down to put this together? How long
Speaker 1: does it take for Lee Greenwood to create a song
Speaker 1: like this?
Speaker 3: About an hour?
Speaker 1: This would take my entire life. So I love that
Speaker 1: it takes about an hour. And how does that work?
Speaker 1: Do you hear the music first, you hear the words?
Speaker 1: Where do you start when you're putting a song together?
Speaker 3: Well, this was a little different than something I would
Speaker 3: have created out of the air. Lots of time, songwriters
Speaker 3: take things that they've seen or heard and create a
Speaker 3: song around it. If I drive by a billboard and
Speaker 3: I see a boobo that says, take care of your tree.
Speaker 3: If it's going to be about the trees, I would
Speaker 3: write about the lumber, I'd write about conservation and so forth,
Speaker 3: this song that I wrote, Start the World Over Again,
Speaker 3: I had to actually reflect on some of the lyrics
Speaker 3: that Curb and Reagan had came up with, and I
Speaker 3: wanted to make sure that I used my form of poetry,
Speaker 3: my form of writing to make it current today, but
Speaker 3: also reflect on the years of Ronald Reagan's presidency. And
Speaker 3: so I think I did a good job. You know,
Speaker 3: everybody I've played it for it seems to like it.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. It is a beautiful song. And again, how many
Speaker 1: people get to say they co wrote a song with
Speaker 1: President Ronald Reagan and Mike Curb. I mean, that's pretty
Speaker 1: cool just to be able to do.
Speaker 3: That, right, Yeah, it's a little it's high cotton for
Speaker 3: me actually being a farmer from California. Now, I've had
Speaker 3: a great career, no doubt about it. But I you know,
Speaker 3: the song God Bless the USA, which now has lived
Speaker 3: over four decades. Yeah, access kind of as an umbrella
Speaker 3: over my career. But it's not a parachute. And that's
Speaker 3: why I say that is because this Start the World
Speaker 3: Over Again proves my writing ability and my singing. I'll
Speaker 3: be eighty three next month next week, and I'm taking
Speaker 3: both my Sons to go, says with Hunting in South Dakota.
Speaker 2: Well, we're excited to have you come here.
Speaker 1: And again, I think it's just amazing that you are
Speaker 1: as busy as I'm sure you probably want to be.
Speaker 1: Every time I turn on the TV, I see Lee
Speaker 1: Gridwood is at this event. He's at that event, and
Speaker 1: you're out performing because people absolutely love what you inspire
Speaker 1: in them with your music. So thank you for doing
Speaker 1: what you do, sir, And.
Speaker 3: You're welcome, and you're right. I am the news an
Speaker 3: awful lot. I thank President Trump for keeping me in
Speaker 3: the news over the fast ten years or two. I'll
Speaker 3: be on Monday Night Football November third, singing for the
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: I love that. That is fantastic. See I'm not a
Speaker 1: football guy, but I'll have to tune in now just
Speaker 1: to see you.
Speaker 3: It'll be covered live on ESPN.
Speaker 2: Very very nice.
Speaker 1: Well, Lee, thank you so much for doing what you do,
Speaker 1: and thank you again for taking the time to chat
Speaker 1: with us.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Thanks John, have a great day.
