The Georgia native actually began recording his “new” album Southern Man more than 25 years ago working with Country Music Hall of Famer Waylon Jennings and his legendary bassist Jerry Bridges. Townsend met Jennings when he was just a kid and never dreamed his idol would one day become his mentor.
We also chat about Grandaddy Mimm's Distillery in which Tommy is the head of in Blairsville, Georgia. They have the best moonshine and I got to do a taste test of a variety of shine, whiskey, and vodka.
Be sure to check out Tommy and his music and follow him on his socials along with the distillery website for more information on where to get your shine on!
