Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What. I
thought there was a great show last night.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I thought there
are a lot of really really good performances.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
I like seeing a lot of the different kind of
like classic country songs and than some of the newer ones.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
It was fun good sixty years and so many decades obviously,
and so much nostalgia. I thought that was really cool.
I love seeing so many people share that stage last night.
I mean we're talking obviously all the new acts YEP,
and then you've got Clint Black that was there last night.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I loved Clint bat Black's performance.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
And then you've got Winona Yep and Crystal Gaale and
Leanne Rhymes, you know, and Leanne Rhymes. That song Blue
is like, that's got to be almost thirty years old already,
and she's still probably one of the younger ones in
the crowd. Noah, is that crazy? Alan Jackson's performance just
blew me away. Yeah, because I remember my mom hearing

(00:57):
that song. She wasn't necessarily an avid country listener. She
wasn't like an avid music listener. My mom read books constantly,
but I remember she tuned in one morning when I
was on and she heard the song remember When, and
she's like, that is the most beautiful song that Alan
Jason and he played that and it was just kind
of brought a teeter in my eye. And just watching
Alan last night.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
And he was just, I don't know how choked up
and didn't just start breaking down crying. I would have. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, she was probably there at the practice when they
practice and over and she's probably like, can we go
pop some champagne?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Now, she's probably heard that song a billion times.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yeah, And it's cool to see someone like Alan Jackson
performing Clint Black and then to see the younger artist
like Zach Top who's got that classic country sound and
he very much so he just sounds like those guys,
but younger, and that's just always cool to see too.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
They very much celebrated Ella Langley last night too.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, and you could tell that she, I mean, she
was up for about everything.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Lanny Wilson came out with the gold last night. I mean,
if you guys Stevie yarded, I don't wanna ruin it,
you know, I mean people at home, but I mean
it was just it was I thought it was a
great show. I really thought it was very very well done.
They just they kind of do a different deal on Prime. Yeah,
you know, it's not quite as it's polished. It's just different.
It's kind of got a relaxed vibe to it.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
More so, I.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Think that what was nice to see with Ella is
that when you can tell she does not take any
of this for granted.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I really don't think any of those artists do at all.
I think that they all and when they're thinking God
and they're up there saying all that. But it's just
like seeing Ella go from I mean who a year ago,
not a lot of people really knew who Ella was,
and then she blew up with her with the with
the one song.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Really, I mean that was really what launched her.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
We were one of, if not the first station in
the country to play it. Yes, we were real hot
on that tune right away. And I remember even thinking,
like right out of the gates is like, you know,
because I don't make the music decisions, right, but it's like,
is it going to make a little stir you know,
the subject matter a little bit?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
You listen to it and it's a talking song. I
mean you don't hear a lot of talking songs anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yes, yeah, and yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Blew a lot of people, and I love everybody after
that song came out. I mean it was like within
a week, everyone's going excuse.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah. It kind of became like iconic.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
And I like how she thinked and acknowledged the old
school artists that really inspired that talking style, like Conway Twitty.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I just I really appreciate her. I think she does
a great job.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I love her speech for the one award she goes.
I blacked out. I said something about Conway Twitty.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, Olkraage Boys. It was really cool to see those
guys out there. You know, they lost Joe, longtime band member,
and I don't know, it's just very nostalgic. It was like,
these are people that are around before so many of
us were even a thought in our parents' brains, and
they're up there on that stage. You know. I got
that feeling Cmas when Charlie Pride was on the stage

(03:43):
about five years ago before he passed. You know, I
mean it was really cool just to I just I
embrace the people that kind of got us where we're at,
and they must look at this the music and over
the changes over the years, and they must go back
and go you know, they said the same thing about.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Me, so true. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then some of the old clips Hank Junior getting
a little choked up.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah you know.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I mean, but he wasn't there last night, at least
I don't think he was. But he they had a
clip of him from years ago and it's like, Hank
Junior geod.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think it was a cool way to celebrate sixty years,
to have so many cool nostalgic things and then a
lot of the new stuff too.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
It was Keith Urban with the triple crown and getting
up there and jammin it was stable at the end.
That was a banger.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay when he got up and just starts ripping on
his guitar, it was so good. He did such a
I mean, he's always so good on a guitar, but
it was just like so much fun.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I was like, oh, yep, Keith's getting up. This is
about to get interesting.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I think Nicole, Keith and Nickole were they in Twilight?
Because are they?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Are they?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Do they age?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do they sparkle in the sun? Have we checked? You
know what?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Because we're hanging you know, to name drop a little
bit last summer. Remember he came to town, Yes, and
did the little pop It was almost kind of like
a quasi pop up show. You know, we had about
three days to promote and fill the joint. It was
really awesome. Yeah, and uh, he looks great. I mean,
and Nicole, they've been around. I mean, you gotta watch
what you say here. But I mean, I remember when

(05:09):
Keith was telling me stories when he was playing on
a conveyor belt, the little conveyor belt, the baggage claim. Yeah,
he was playing on a baggage claim way back in
the nineties, right, talking about you know, when he was
getting started and everything and you know, anywhere to make
a book or get attention. And it's like that seems
like yesterday. And all of a sudden, poof that much
time goes by.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
And they're both almost sixty and they bought Yeah, they're
both fifty seven, and they both look amazing. And I
would have thought, yeah, I mean I just watched not
that long ago. I just watched a new movie by
Nicole Kidman and she played someone like a lot younger
and it totally fit.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
It was like, I think we're going to find out
in the end that their accents are fake and they're
both from Iowa. Can you imagine it's all an act
can be one great big dupe.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
It wouldn't it matter.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
They're both very talented and everything, but just shows how
much talent they are really isn't from Iowa? Oh yeah,
we grew up into calb. No, that's Illinois, isn't it.
I don't know? Iowa tell what's Iowa? Yes? Does does? MOUs? Yes?
Uh No? A great show man. It was a great

(06:12):
show last night and I loved it. It was I mean,
it was really cool. So there you have it. Yeah,
we should just we should just play the whole thing
again and just go home.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well, for anybody who missed anything, we did share a
lot of things on the Chris Car Company Facebook page.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Doves was at it like a dog.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I say we, but really it was dogs. Doves was
like a beast or.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Not you did Lady Wilson, Holy Fringe. I'm like, I
would be tangled up. You'd have to cut me out.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
That's kind of her style. It's fun to see her
and then Miranda Lambert really likes Fringe too. To see
her them can both come out in their outfits like that,
and uh.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
And Ella and Miranda out there yeah and down a banger.
That was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Miranda performed what it was it okay two or three times.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
She was out there a lot.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah, she was out there a lot.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, different outfit each time. I was like, she's killing it.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Country music Baby the collab. I never knew I needed
Cody Johnson and Brooks and Dunn.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah, you're a Cody freak, aren't you.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
No, not really.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I love Cody. I'm a Cody freak. Cody Johnson. I
think he is absolutely awesome. I mean I just love
and uh, you know the new tune that we're playing,
and everything about him is just He's just humble. He
just kind of reminds me of just got that George
Strait kind of vibe, you know, coming out of Texas
and real low key.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
So I'm kind of a Cody Johnson freak. I support
him in a big way. It's kind of tough because
when people win awards, you really want everybody in the
whole category to win. Like when they got up to
a Female Vocalist of the Year, I think it was
it may have been Martina or Gretchen Wilson. One of
them got up and mentioned, you know, hey, let's just
make them all winners.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
So that's the thing because in a category like that,
you could have named any of those women the winner
and everybody would have been like, yep, that makes sense.
It was an amazing lineup, for sure.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Good stuff, and we're playing you know, a whole lot
of them here. Through the course of the.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Show, Lena went over three. She's grounded.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Okay, you know what, it was her first time.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Your daughter should be fired.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
But let's be fair.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
This is over a year, right, Yeah, she wasn't born
when most of the most of this stuff came out,
well not yet.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, but you know what, don't play the game if
you don't know what you're picking.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
At least get one.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Gotta get at least one.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I thought you got one, and I was like, oh nope, no.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, all of that is on our socials. By the way,
