    Dierks Bentley, who is the father of three children (Evie, Jordan, Knox), says you revert back to your childhood at Christmas when you start having a family of your own.

    Dierks Bentley (Christmas is for kids) OC: …one again. :29
    “You know, Christmas didn’t lose any of its real meaning, as far as its religious meaning with Jesus’ birthday. But as far as like the whole tree and all of the Christmas spirit stuff, the secular stuff, it just kind of goes away to be honest. But then you have a family, and all of a sudden, it’s like I’m all Clark Griswold out there decorating the tree, putting lights up around the house, you know. So, all of those things that you did as a kid and appreciated as a kid, you get a chance to do over again when you have kids, because you kinda become one again.”

    Dierks Bentley (Christmas in the desert) OC: …in Arizona. :32
    “I grew up in Arizona, so we didn’t have like a white winter kind of deal. It’s kinda…once you experience that, it’s hard to go back and like celebrate Christmas in the desert but…for us, we would…me and my family and a couple other families would go out to the desert and bring a big turkey and just kinda have a cookout in the middle of the desert…and drink beers and ride four-wheelers and…well, I wouldn’t drink beers, but they would. We’d ride four-wheelers and horses and just kind of spend it out in the middle of the desert, which was kind of a cool way to spend Christmas. So, whenever I think of Christmas, I always think of the desert, which is a little weird, but that’s just the way we did it out in Arizona.”

    Dierks Bentley (Christmas tough for Jordan) OC: …for you! :21
    “It’s tough kind of for Jordan because her birthday IS on Christmas, so it’s kind of one of those things where we try to give her an extra present or two. It’s kind of tough to share your birthday with Jesus. You can get a little overshadowed on that one, but she’s good about it, but we just tell her, ‘All these Christmas trees and lights, these are all for you.’”

    Dierks Bentley (Christmas traditions) OC: …old ones, as well. :22
    “One of our favorite Christmas traditions is just driving around looking at lights. Love seeing all the lights back in the valley, back in Arizona and Phoenix where I’m from, and that tradition is carried over to here for me in Nashville. We’ve got a lot of lights up on the house. We’ve got a Grinch in the front yard, as well as a talking Santa, so new traditions here in Nashville and some old ones, as well.”

     

    Darius Rucker, who released his Christmas album Home for the Holidays in 2014, loves to take it easy during the holidays after being on the road all year long. One way he winds down is to watch Christmas movies…however, he can’t pick just one favorite.

    Darius Rucker (favorite Christmas movies) OC: …favorite movies. :32
    “That’s such a hard question, favorite Christmas movie, because there are so many great movies that I can think of just off the top of my head that are great Christmas movies.  But it would be a tie between Miracle on 34th Street, which is still just great acting, great movie.  I just love it.  I love watching it.  I watch it probably four times every Christmas and cry at the end every time.  And I love Elf.  I just think Elf is one of the absolute great stories and just funniest movies I’ve ever seen and it just happens to be a Christmas movie.  It’s one of my favorite movies.”

    Darius Rucker (favorite Christmas song) OC: …listen to. :09
    “Oh, ‘The Christmas Song,’ no doubt about it. There’s a reason it’s called, ‘The Christmas Song.’ That’s my favorite Christmas song to sing and my favorite Christmas song to listen to.”

    Darius Rucker (Christmas dish) OC: …sweet potato pie. :17
    “I’m a big food guy, as you can tell by looking at me up here. I like food a lot. But my favorite thing is my sister’s sweet potato pie. I love sweet potato pie so much, and I don’t get it very often. And my sisters always make sure I get a couple during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that’s my favorite thing – sweet potato pie.”

     

    Since he’s been touring so much this year, Josh Ross says he’s barely spent any time at home with his family back in Canada, so he’s looking forward to having several days with his family.

    Josh Ross (a favorite Christmas memory) OC: …from out West. :22
    “I’d say as a kid, so my sister is 12 years older than myself, so she moved out West to go to school when I was like six-years-old. She used to always come home during Christmas. I never knew when because I was young and didn’t really understand how the calendar worked, but I always remembered that my sister would fly home and come wake me up and like would always surprise me. So, that’s definitely one of my favorite Christmas memories is when my sister would come home from out West.”

    Josh Ross (Christmas present) OC: …front of a screen. :32
    “All my friends had video games, and I was never very, very big into video games. I wasn’t really allowed. I was more like the go outside and play type, and honestly, this is really what speaks to me as a person now with different things in life, but I really wanted a PlayStation 2 and I remember like that was the big thing that I wanted. And I got a PlayStation 2, and I bet you I only played it for like a couple of weeks and then I was back to outside playing, and really just wasn’t super interested in it. I think that kind of still speaks to me today is I’d much rather be in the outdoors and not necessarily in front of a screen.”

    Audio / Josh Ross - Christmas Spirit (AUDIO)

    Josh Ross (Christmas spirit) OC: …in the spirit. :35
    “My mom would definitely always be playing Christmas music. She loved Christmas music, so that’s always playing when she’s decorating and things like that. I’m excited to go back and listen to her songs on repeat (laughs), but the thing for me that would always solidify that Christmas is happening is we’d go and cut a tree down. So, my mom, dad, myself and we used to take the dog that I had as a child, we’d all go out and cut a tree down, and that’s just like a Canadian thing. I think here we import the Northern trees, so the ornaments stay on them, but up there that’s what we got to do, so that’s something I’ll always remember as a kid year after year would get me in the spirit.”

    Audio / Josh Ross - The Grinch Story (AUDIO)

    Download

    Josh Ross (The Grinch story) OC: …freshman year boyfriend. :36
    “We were talking about Christmas movies, and I think I said I watched Elf all the way through. Now I understand what the World’s Best Coffee Shop means and all this kind of stuff and people have all these jokes around Christmas time. It’s funny, The Grinch was one of my favorite movies, and that was one that I watched, and I got to fill people in, I was like, ‘Well, my mom used to date ‘The Grinch.’’ And everybody was like, ‘Wait! What do you mean?’ And my mom’s boyfriend in high school was Jim Carrey. So, it’s kind of a cool, I guess, fun fact that most people would not know is he grew up in Burlington, Ontario and went to Aldershot High School and he was my mom’s ninth grade, or freshman year, boyfriend.”

     

    Kassi Ashton grew up in a rural town called California, Missouri, and she took ballet and other dance classes for many years. So, one of her favorite Christmas memories include being in The Nutcracker every year. “One of my favorite Christmas traditions growing up was always being a part of The Nutcracker,” says Kassi. “[I took] ballet my entire life, and now that I’ve graduated and moved on, I go see The Nutcracker at the Nashville Ballet every year. I can’t wait to have a little girl some day and put her in ballet class.”

I love the classics – Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, anything that you know by heart and you don’t have to really think about. Christmas songs are the best.”

    Keith Urban (Christmas-beach) OC: …to the beach. :24
    “I have great memories of getting up early and going and jumping on your parents’ bed and getting them up. You know, and then of course you tear open the presents and then it’s done and it’s like eight in the morning, and you’ve got all morning now to sort of wish you had more presents to open. We had great Christmases growing up. I really, really enjoyed them. Mostly, we’d go to the beach, you know, ’cause there it’s summertime. Load up the station wagon and head off to the beach.”

    Keith Urban (still loves going to the beach at Christmas) OC: …explains a lot. :33
    “Yeah, we still love going to the beach at Christmas time, as long as we’re in Australia, because it’s like the Fourth of July. It’s huge. Everybody’s out. It feels very celebratory. It’s in the ‘90s. It’s crazy, but having grown up with that, it feels very natural to me. Albeit it, we still had all of the same Christmas songs, so we’re in like 90-degree heat with shorts and tank tops singing ‘Walking in a Winter Wonderland,’ and I remember getting Christmas cards of like Santa on a surfboard, so that probably explains a lot.”

     

    Reba McEntire has graced us with a couple of Christmas collections, including 1995’s Merry Christmas to You and 2006’s Secret of Giving: A Christmas Collection, as well as last year’s compilation, Ultimate Christmas Collection.

    Reba McEntire (Pake) OC: …down the hall.  :22
    “The funniest thing I can always remember about Christmastime is my older brother Pake, when we were kids at home, he’d always be the first one to jump out of bed and run down the hall, and he’d just run down the hall with his underwear on. And he’d say, ‘If y’all don’t hurry up and get up and get in here, I’m opening all the presents by myself.’ But he knew it was a standing rule we all had to be in there before anybody could open up a present, but I can still see Pake running down the hall.”

    Reba McEntire (artificial tree) OC: …half the year. :24
    “I definitely have an artificial tree, because when we were growing up, we’d all go out on the ranch and cut down a Christmas tree, bring it in and then we had to water it every other day – make sure the coffee can was full of water – and the cedar needles got everywhere, so nowadays I just go with an artificial tree…and two, I can leave it with the lights on half the year.”

    Reba (Christmas memory of Shelby) OC: …he was so cute! :28
    “I’ll never forget one (Christmas) morning I woke up and I was laying on my left side and I felt something, and I opened up my eyes, and Shelby was three inches away from my face. He said, ‘Mom, you’re not gonna beweive what Santy Claus weft for me.’ And so, he said you’ve got to come here. I got up out of bed and went in there and there was this little tractor trailer set that he had just fallen in love with at the store. He’s seen it, and he said, ‘I can’t beweive he bought this for me.’ He was so cute.”

    Jordan Davis (favorite Christmas gift) OC: …great present. :41
    “The one Christmas present that stands out to me – I can remember I asked for go-karts. Me and my brother asked for go-karts together. And I was actually worried that we weren’t going to get ‘em, because I knew my mom probably thought we were going to kill ourselves, but we woke up Christmas morning and me and Jacob, we run into the living room and don’t see a go-kart. I remember being like sad opening presents, and then my dad tells me he thought he heard some reindeer in the backyard. So, we jet to the back of the house and there’s two blue-and-white go-karts in the backyard. So, that’s the one I always remember. That was a great present.”

    Jordan Davis (Christmas music) OC: …music on. :41
    “My favorite Christmas song is Nat King Cole’s ‘Buon Natale.’ I don’t know the record it’s on it, [but] we would just play that song over and over and over. So, that’s by far my favorite, but anything by Nat King Cole. I mean Nat King Cole is Christmas to me, always playing, always having some type of Christmas music on. I remember growing up, my mom, she would start on Thanksgiving. We would start listening to Christmas music and anytime you’d walk into the house if Mom was home, there was Christmas music playing. It was just background music, and it’s something I’ve carried over like there’s Christmas music that is played all the time. If we’re home, there’s Christmas music on.”

     

    Parker McCollum grew up in Conroe, Texas and he and all of his family and extended family would go to his grandmother’s house on Christmas. One of his favorite childhood memories on Christmas Day was playing football in the front yard. “Every year, we would all play football in my Grandma’s front yard probably until the time I was 15 or 16 years old, every Christmas morning,” he says.

I used to watch that when I was really little with my mom, but I mean, Christmas Vacation is a phenomenal movie. And I always really liked the Santa Clause series with Tim Allen. I always thought those were really good, even the newer ones.”

They wouldn’t even let me shoot anything then. So, I was probably 11 or 12 years old and a Browning 270 Deer rifle…bad son of a gun.”

I’d want to be Clark Griswold’s wife ‘cause I feel like Jonah is Clark Griswold, and that would be really funny, and she just allows his Christmas chaos happen and just embraces it.” TAE: “And you would totally do the fork thing where ‘Oh, this is so yummy.’ (laughs) It’s so you.” (both laugh)

We always shave off a little part of the bottom of the tree and make an ornament out of the little thing, so we’ll put the year on all of them and collect them. We’ve actually just started collecting nutcrackers, which is super weird, but we name them all. Oh, and White Elephant. We play White Elephant on the Font side of things, and I always end up with the best gift somehow, because Jonah and I tag team White Elephant.”

    “My family has always done Christmas to the nines. My dad is a very big Christmas decorator. He would have the entire house decorated. We had this like life-sized, giant nutcracker, and at one point, we had like a talking Santa at our front door that my dad would talk through. But the decorations were always just like so much fun, really got us all in the Christmas spirit. And every Christmas, one of our traditions was the kids – me and my two brothers – we would all stay in the same room on Christmas Eve and then we’d wake up when it was time to wake up, and we’d go down the stairs my parents would have a sheet at the bottom of the stairs so we couldn’t see all the presents; not that we weren’t going to see them in two seconds, but to them it was just the magic of the big reveal, them showing us all the gifts that Santa had gotten us. I’m just so thankful that my parents really kept that magic alive. And for me, I’m already thinking about Elf on the Shelf. I’m going to do all of the fun stuff.”

  • UMG NASHVILLE THANKSGIVING CONTENT

    The Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth, in the state that’s now known as Massachusetts. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest. While initially, the Plymouth colony did not have enough food to feed half of the 102 colonists, the Wampanoag Native Americans helped the Pilgrims by providing seeds and teaching them to fish. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s. People now celebrate the holiday by giving thanks for their blessings over the past year, as well as feasting on turkey and other festive goodies.

    Some festive fun facts about Thanksgiving:

    • President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving a national holiday on October 3rd, 1863.
    • Harry Truman is often credited with being the first president to pardon a turkey, but that’s not quite true. He was the first to receive a ceremonial turkey from the National Turkey Federation – and he had it for dinner. John F. Kennedy was the first to let a Thanksgiving turkey go, followed by Richard Nixon who sent his turkey to a petting zoo. George H.W. Bush is the president who formalized the turkey pardoning tradition in 1989.
    • The average number of calories consumed on Thanksgiving is 4,500.
    • Butterball answers more than 100,000 turkey-cooking questions via their Butterball Turkey Hotline each November and December.
    • The tradition of football on Thanksgiving began in 1876 with a game between Yale and Princeton. The first NFL games were played on Thanksgiving in 1920.
    • The Wednesday before Thanksgiving has become known as “Drinksgiving.” Bars experience a huge boom the night before the holiday.

    Thanksgiving Day is Thursday, November 23rd, and most people might be enjoying time with a group of their friends and families, including some of your favorite country stars, such as Alan Jackson, Brothers Osborne, Carrie Underwood, Catie Offerman, Caylee Hammack, Dalton Dover, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Josh Turner, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Maddie & Tae, Mickey Guyton, Parker McCollum, Priscilla Block, Reba McEntire, Sam Hunt, Tyler Hubbard and more. They share their thoughts of thanks this year, their lessons in gratitude, memories and favorite Thanksgiving dishes.

     

    THANKSGIVING SOUNDBITES:

    Audio / Alan Jackson talks about his favorite Thanksgiving dish.

    Download

    AJ (Thanksgiving) OC: …enjoy it. :19
    “My favorite Thanksgiving dish would be the homemade dressin’ that we, cornbread-based kind of dressin’ that we always have with turkey. That recipe is a kind of a combination of my mama, and Denise has taken it and perfected it over the years, so that me and my children really enjoy it.”

    Audio / Brothers Osborne talk about their favorite Thanksgiving tradition – a Misfits Thanksgiving -- that they started when they moved to Nashville because they couldn’t afford to go home for the holiday.

    Download

    Brothers Osborne (Misfits Thanksgiving) OC: (TJ) …Happy holidays, y’all. 1:02
    “What’s up, y’all? It’s Brothers Osborne here. And a Thanksgiving tradition that we did for so many years. John and I would host what we would call a Misfits Thanksgiving, and we would have everyone, I mean we must’ve done this for 15 years or so and it really started because we didn’t have enough money to go back home to see our family, so we would hang out in Nashville. And so everyone that was kind of in our same shoes, we’d all end up at our house, and it really turned into really blossoming some of our most cherished relationships. We would be there with Kacey Musgraves. It was the first time I really got to hang out with Mickey Guyton (JOHN: “Maren Morris.”) Maren Morris. They would come over and we just became like family to each other because we couldn’t get home to see our own families. And that’s a Thanksgiving tradition that we still to this day try to keep, and it’s a revolving door of who’s there or who’s not there, but yeah, it’s a wonderful tradition. And let me tell you, spending it with our friends in Nashville, there’s a little less arguing than back home. (laughs)” JOHN: “We’re still arguing, but we get over it faster.” (laughs) TJ: “Anyways, Happy Holidays, y’all.”

    Audio / Carrie Underwood says she’s grateful for her family.

    “I am grateful for so many things this Thanksgiving. I think the thing I’m most grateful for, though, is family. I mean, that’s what it’s all about, and that’s what this life is all about. I’m blessed to have two incredible boys that I get to take care of and that love on me daily, and they’re just giant blessings in my life, and of course, my extended family, as well. That’s what this time of year’s all about – getting together and just realizing how blessed we all are.”

    Carrie Underwood (Thanksgiving) OC: …the other one. :34
    “We don’t have too many set-in-stone Thanksgiving traditions. I find myself a lot of times working on or around Thanksgiving or unable to get home or whatever. We try to be together, but sometimes that just doesn’t work out. But yeah, I mean, I think it’s just about we eat. I eat a lot every year on Thanksgiving. [laughs] I never skip THAT tradition. But yeah, that’s the gist of it, and I’m kind of lucky. I get two Thanksgivings, because I also get to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with my husband’s family, so if I don’t hit one, I’ll definitely be able to get the other one.”

We all sit around and just eat all day. And I love Thanksgiving because you don’t have to worry about getting gifts for people; you don’t have to worry about wrapping them. You just show up and you eat all day with the people you love. So, I absolutely love Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday.”

    Dierks Bentley (Thanksgiving must-have) OC: …for Thanksgiving. :34
    “You gotta have a big turkey. Thanksgiving is not possible without a turkey. We cook it traditionally, but when we’re in, a couple of Thanksgivings ago, we were here in Nashville, we did the whole fry the turkey up, and it was great. It just tasted so good; all those juices get locked in there, and I love that too. You really can’t, to me, cook a turkey wrong. I’m gonna eat it any way, and I have over the years. Trust me, I’ve played a lot of county and state fairs, where I’ve seen gigantic turkey legs, you know, I’ve had the flat meat. I’ve done turkey every way you could do it. I’m pretty good any way you want to cook it up, but you’ve got to have a turkey for Thanksgiving.”

    Jordan Davis (Thanksgiving memory) OC: …really special. :17

My grandma would always have a huge spread, and just get to spend time around a lot of family members I don’t get to see a lot of, so they were always really special.”

    Josh Turner (fave side dish) OC: …’em myself. [laughs] :24
    “Uh, deviled eggs! [laughs] Where I’m from in South Carolina, I don’t think I’ve tasted a bad deviled egg. It’s like everybody has their own twist on it, but they’re all good, but I always loved it when my mama made ‘em. I’m learning as I get older, making deviled eggs is no easy task. It’s more complicated than it looks, and so that’s probably why I never made ‘em myself.” [laughs]

    Audio / Josh Turner explains what he enjoys about the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

    Download

    Josh Turner (holidays) OC: …the peace and quiet. :38
    “I love being outside in nature and the outdoors, and the holidays is a great time for me to go and partake in that part of my life. A lot of times, Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s a little cold to go fishing, but when it comes to Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s a great time to go hunting, especially in South Carolina, that’s when the temperatures are starting to drop and the conditions are getting right, and especially in November, kind of the tail end of the rut, as far as deer season. So, it’s a good time to get in the deer stand whether you kill anything or not, it’s just a great time to just get away from everything and get away from the noise and the lights and the diesel fumes [laughs] and just relax and just enjoy the peace and quiet.”

    Audio / Keith Urban's First Thanksgiving

    Download
    My first Thanksgiving actually was with a family who, it was the Crane family. I was friends with the guy called Billy Crane and his brother was the guitarist in Charlie Daniels band. And so the Crane family, very, very, very Southern, that was my first Thanksgiving and it was the greatest experience because first of all, I realized like, I make sure you don’t eat two days before Thanksgiving. Don’t eat anything for two days because not only are there going to be like eight dishes all brought by all the relatives. All the relatives are watching to see if you eat their dish. And Billy Crane was saying to me, oh, you got to try this, you got to try that. And I’m like, I’m good. And I go, no, no, no, I’m saying you have because they’re watching. It was awesome.

    MADDIE: “I love Thanksgiving because I get to see my family, and it’s not as much pressure as Christmas I feel like because there are no gifts exchanged. It’s just all about quality time and I love quality time. My favorite dish is some broccoli-cheese casserole and Tae’s favorite dish, I know, is cranberry sauce, just plain. Just plain ole cranberry sauce, no turkey, just cranberry sauce.” TAE: “She knows.” MADDIE: “That’s it.” TAE: “I genuinely feel there’s something wrong with me. (MADDIE: “Out of the can.”) out of the can. My parents know just to have cranberry sauce for me, like no one else can touch it.

It’s homemade, and the entire family, that’s the first thing to go at Thanksgiving dinner. And my Grandma D, she makes a pecan pie that is awesome. She taught me how to make them when I was little, and I just love them, and that’s the other thing that I look forward to at Thanksgiving dinner, and I love them both so much!”

So, we kind of do a Thanksgiving with my dad’s side of the family, but all my life, we’ve always gone to my mom’s parents’ house on Thanksgiving, and they got a big ole house and a bunch of property and it’s really where I grew up is right there.

Like, we actually still go around the table and being like, ‘What are you thankful for?’ ‘What are you thankful for?’ So, that means a lot where it’s not about presents, it’s not about anything else. It’s just about truly being thankful, and that’s why I love Thanksgiving so much.”

On the personal front, on the professional front, I have so much to be grateful. (I) got to do my first headline tour. I got to put out my second album, got to go to Australia and Canada and yeah, it’s just been a great year. I had a lot of great time with the family, as well, got to go on some great trips and so I’m just in a place of gratitude all around. Life is good, and I can think back to times when life wasn’t so sweet and life was a lot more difficult, so this is truly a time where I’m just reflecting and being grateful for the things in my life – my kiddos, my wife, our house and just the time together. Anyway, it’s been a great year, and I’m excited to shut it down for a little bit of time and just reflect and be grateful.”

  • KEITH URBAN: NEW ALBUM “HIGH” CUT X CUT (AUDIO)

    Keith Urban’s new album, HIGH, is available now wherever you get your music. He first started working on an album in 2022, but because he felt the album wasn’t quite right due to the parameters he put on himself, he scrapped most of the album and started over, taking only a few songs to the new project. Without the framework he imposed, Keith felt free to make HIGH.

    Audio / KU-High-Album Was The One He Was Supposed To Make

    Download

    KU-High-Album Was The One He Was Supposed To Make (AUDIO): “I took this album, the previous album, that had a title and everything, 13 songs, took it in, played it for my inner circle of people, my team, people I trust, in February 2023, and was so excited to play it, and I must have got four or five songs in, and I could feel my own conviction level just deflating about this album. I said, it’s not it, is it? It’s not it, is it? And they’re like, well, you tell me, it’s your record. And I’m like, it’s not, I know it’s not. There’s like a few really strong songs on here. And then the others are, they’re strong too, but everything’s just a bit the same. It all was the same. And I was gutted because I knew that it wasn’t gonna be a quick time between that moment and whatever the record was gonna be to finish. I knew that was gonna take a long time. Sure enough, it took another year of writing and recording. This is the weirdest thing. I’ve made a lot of records. I usually have a very clear idea of what I wanted to do. And I had that with this other start. And it didn’t pan out. And so I was sort of thrown. I’m like, well, I don’t know what to do. And I know this sounds weird. It may not sound weird to certain people, but some people might think I’m completely loopy. But there were several songs. Messed Up As Me was one of them. And there was a few other songs that felt like they were saying to me, we don’t belong here, we belong on this other record, so take us with you and have faith in us and get back in the studio and write, and you’ll see this new record will happen with us in there, and it will be the record we belong to, because we don’t belong with this record. And I did it, I trusted the songs, I moved them over, went back to the drawing board and built outwards from those songs. And man this record came together. 40 minutes running time top to bottom and it was absolutely the record that I was meant to make but wasn’t the one I set out to make.”

    AUDIO CUT X CUT:

    Audio / KU-High-01-Blue Sky-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-01-Blue Sky-SBTS (AUDIO): “It was born of wanting to start the record with Straight Line. But when I got into the mixing phase of the song, I messed around with a few different ways for the song to start. Cause it starts with a drum loop and then a little simple riff and then the band kicks in, but it always felt abrupt. It just felt abrupt to me. And I was like, I wish there was a way to set the song up somehow better. And I thought, well, the song makes me think of the kind of thing that might get me going in the morning. Especially if it was an early morning when my alarm clock goes off and I begrudgingly do not want to get up out of bed on a Monday morning. But a song comes on the radio and you’re like, all right, that makes me feel good. Let’s go. And I thought, well, that’s kind of what Straight Line is for. It’s to wake you up and let you know it’s all good. It’s a bit of Blue Sky. So I did the audio of me slamming my alarm clock and set the song up.”

    Audio / KU-High-02-Straight Line-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-02-Straight Line-SBTS (AUDIO): “It’s a song that is really about recognizing that life can sometimes just become monotonous and routine for me too, for so many people. It can happen slowly. You’re doing your job, you’re showing up Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday, whatever it is, day in, day out. It’s like rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. You’re doing it and you’re being responsible, but slowly but surely you’re like, my life is not so great. It used to be really fun. What the hell happened? Because it’s life. You’ve got to work. You’ve got to… pay the bills, you gotta take care of things, but it can start to lack color. And I wanted a song that was like an alarm clock going off to kind of wake up all of us and reclaim our life, really. That’s what Straight Line’s about.”

    Audio / KU-High-03-Messed Up As Me-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-03-Messed Up As Me-SBTS (AUDIO): “Messed Up As Me is a song about a relationship that is kind of pretty dysfunctional, pretty messy except for one part of it. And that one part of it is amazing. In fact that one part is so good that you figure out just putting up with all the rest that is dysfunctional, possibly toxic, and just messy between the two of you. But that one thing is well worth it.”

    Audio / KU-High-04-Wildside-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-04-Wildside-SBTS (AUDIO):  Wildside was just an idea I had. I’ve been in Nashville a long time and I’ve met a lot of girls in Nashville early on, especially a lot of good Southern Christian girls, very proper, well-mannered, polite, disciplined, everything straight laced. You might think five days a week straight laced. And then on a Friday night, man, there’s this other side, there’s this other wild side and it’s amazing. And I just always wanted to write about that. And so I had the title. And then I loved the song Legs by ZZ Top, so I went, I’m gonna use that as the energy, just the energy and the absurdity of Legs. I’ll use that as the inspiration.”

    Audio / KU-High-05-Go Home W U-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-05-Go Home W U-SBTS (AUDIO): “A lot of people know Breland, the artist Breland. So Breland and two other guys, Sam Sumpser, Sean Small, the four of us were in a writing situation for two weeks doing nothing but writing songs. And one of the songs we wrote was Go Home W U. We did a sort of quick demo of it and the song set around, this is in 2020, and the song set around for coming up on four years. Three years last year because I sent it to Lainey. I went, I think you’d kill this song, you know, and she loved it.”

    Audio / KU-High-06-Chuck Taylors-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-06-Chuck Taylors-SBTS (AUDIO): “I was going to write with a new guy called Chase McGill and I was driving to the studio that day to write with him, Jerry Flowers and another guy, Greg Wells. I wanted to show up with something just in case nothing came on the day and I walked in with the melody. I had this whole melody but I had no lyric and God bless Chase McGill, he hands me this lyric called Chuck Taylors and I read it and I went oh my gosh this thing fits perfectly with this melody I’ve showed up with. So the lyric he had and the melody I showed up with were just beautifully waiting for each other to meet. The song was so fun to write, bristling with all the energy I was hoping we could wrangle.”

    Audio / KU-High-07-Daytona-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-07-Daytona-SBTS (AUDIO): “Some songs are literal and then some songs are metaphoric. And for me, Daytona is a song that doesn’t have to be about the place if you’ve never been to Daytona. But if you’ve ever had a relationship that was intense, but maybe really brief, and it comes back to you time and again, and something triggers a memory, wherever that place is for you, that’s your Daytona.”

    Audio / KU-High-08-Love Is Hard-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-08-Love Is Hard-SBTS (AUDIO): “Love is hard. This song just floored me when I heard it. I knew it top to bottom. I knew it inside and out. I knew I had to put it on this record. I knew there was gonna be the perfect place for it. It’s an incredible song. And I loved getting to sing it and bring the story to life.”

    Audio / KU-High-09-Heart Like A Hometown-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-09-Heart Like A Hometown-SBTS (AUDIO): Heart Like a Hometown is one of the four songs that I kept off of my first record that didn’t work out called 615. I loved it when we did it and I didn’t want to lose that. My parents moved around a lot. We moved around a lot when I was a kid. Lived in about nine different homes by about the age of 10. So a hometown for me was my family, my guitar. That very much became my metaphoric hometown, the place where I felt at home and kind of really a place inside of me, a place inside of me. And then when I moved, of course I moved to Nashville and I’m on the other side of the world from where I grew up. And okay, this is gonna be my hometown now and Nashville becomes my hometown. So it’s a beautiful song. And I hear songs metaphorically. They don’t have to be literal for me. And Heart Like a Hometown, I think, is that kind of a song. It could be literal or the hometown could be somebody, but someplace that you can always go back to when you get lost, you want to have that place where you can re-center and remember who you are. Then you can go back out in the world again. And I love those kinds of songs.”

    Audio / KU-High-09-Laughin All The Way To The Drank-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-09-Laughin All The Way To The Drank-SBTS (AUDIO): When I play soundcheck with my band, I have a drummer, Terrence Clark, he’s a great drummer. I found on soundcheck days, he would always play something that I would start jamming. And I’d be like, I feel like we’re writing a song. It’s so inspirational to play with him. So I called Michael Lozando, who’s a great producer, musician, songwriter, and I said, can I bring my drummer Terrence in and… Can the three of us just jam music all day, just as a three piece? You play bass, he’ll play drums, I play guitar, and we’ll just jam all day. And we’ll just see if we get a bunch of music happening. And we ended up capturing nine different tracks, one of which was the music for Laughin’ Away to the Drank. We’re making it up just in the zone, jamming. We’re just jamming, really jamming. And the song came out of it, and I call Ben Burgess who I really wanted to work with because I love his lyrics. And I played him all these things we’d worked on and we got to that one. And he went, man, I like this song. And I said, well, I don’t have a title or anything. And he said, what about laughing away to the bank? And when he said it, I immediately went, Oh, laughing away to the drank would be so much better. And I know what the song is going to be about. So let’s go for it. And, um, but the song was born of a jam session, which is why the band sounds so loose and spirited and energized and then we built a song on top of it.”

    Audio / KU-High-11-Dodge-In-A-Silverado-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-11-Dodge-In-A-Silverado-SBTS (AUDIO): “Track 10 on the album is a song called Dodge in a Silverado and was actually the last song that we recorded. Actually, the album was pretty much done and this song came along. There’s just certain songs that I feel immediately and I felt this song, it felt classic, felt like this song had been around forever and I just loved it. I loved the song. When we finished recording it, I just felt like I wanted to keep playing and we did. So there’s a bit of a long guitar outro on this one.”

    Audio / KU-High-12-Break The Chain-SBTS

    Download

    KU-High-12-Break The Chain-SBTS (AUDIO): “When we wrote it, I knew I wanted to end the album with it. And the album wasn’t even finished or I didn’t know what songs were going to be on the album, but I knew I wanted to end with that. That’s just one of those beautiful divine days that happen when it’s time for that song to come out. And this was meeting a guy called Mark Sibley. Troy Tomlinson said, you should meet this guy. I think the two of you would hit it off. And I call him and go to his house and meet him for the very first time, walk into his studio. And he had a guitar in a stand, this acoustic guitar, but it looked really unusual and I picked it up and started playing this guitar pattern. And while I’m playing it, he’s already got a microphone and he’s putting it next to my guitar and we’ve said nothing to each other. We’re like, okay, here we go, we’re writing a song. And this melody came and this lyric came too late, is it too late for me to listen, for me to change? And it just, it just flowed, it just flowed out. I did the music quickly. Mark went over and started working on, on building a bit more of the track. I went and sat on his couch and I got a legal pad out cause I like to write, write and I’m writing. And I get to this second verse and I just, I just start weeping on this guy’s couch, like just crying, crying on this guy’s couch who I’ve just met. He looks over at me and he goes… must be true. And then went, went right back to work. And it was the perfect reaction because it let me stay in, in the place I was at with no judgment and I could finish the song. And then I got on the mic and I sang it top to bottom and then did some harmonies and everything just went quickly. There was no, I didn’t second guess it. I just did it. He sent me the track the next day, pieced together, and I just said, I think we should leave this one alone. I think this is, this is real. I’m not going to go and track it with the band on a proper session and all this BS. We’re just going to leave it like that.”

  • MEMORIAL DAY 2024

    Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May.

    Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. However, by the turn of the 20th century, Memorial Day honored Americans who have sacrificed their lives in all wars.

  • KEITH URBAN RELEASES NEW SONG “GO HOME W U” WITH LAINEY WILSON.

    Keith Urban has released “GO HOME W U” with Lainey Wilson, the third song released from his forthcoming album, out this fall. The up-tempo, ‘fuzzy good feeling towards all friends and strangers’ song, was “not meant to be a duet,” says Urban. So, when the CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson signed on, the song took shape.  “GO HOME W U,” follows the release of Urban’s current single “Messed Up As Me” as well as the song “Straight Line,” released earlier this year.

    “I wrote “GO HOME W U” in 2020 with BRELAND, Sam (Sumser) and Sean (Small),” said Urban. “We had a blast writing it. It started out as a late-night drum loop, I grabbed a bass guitar and started playing a simple recurring bass line. Before we knew it, we were writing a chorus that could be sung by any drunk person in any bar anywhere in the world.”

    He adds, “A friend of mine suggested the idea of making the song a duet and I immediately thought of Lainey. Besides the fact that I love her voice, she’s got the swagger and attitude that fit so well with the song.”

    “Keith has been someone in the industry I’ve taken notes from for a while now,” said Wilson. “From watching him at CMA Fest every year growing up to hearing the way he treats people up and down music row, he has taught me a lot. He’s a genuine supporter of mine and I am honored I get to continue to learn from one of the best. Getting to do a song with Keith is a notch on my belt I am very proud of.”

    Keith is celebrating the release of the song by “going home” to a club setting for a special pop-up show at Dada in Dallas.
