  Now, Well, my name is Tay Hamilton, my co host Waynedy

• 0:26
  locals in the house? Okay? Okay? And then everybody else who's from
• 0:31
  out of town okay, Well listen, no matter where you're from, y'all,
• 0:36
  we are gearing up for such a big weekend here. Well, I'm
• 0:41
  really excited because this is our second year hosting iHeart Country House Party with our
• 0:45
  friends TC Restaurant Group and Tequila Cowboys. So welcome back, and I'm excited
• 0:51
  to bring out our very first guest of the weekend. Y'all give it up
• 0:55
  for George Burrs. Yeah, oh here, I'm not gonna miss a country
• 1:00
  house party with you guys. So I'm here. What's up everybody? Thanks
• 1:03
  for showing up, guys. What a crew. All right, so we're
• 1:07
  here at CMA Fest. What's what are some of your favorite memories from Cmafest.
• 1:12
  We have come a long way from my first CMA fist, from playing
• 1:18
  a stage for about ten people and just feeling glad to be part of the
• 1:21
  festival to this year. We're playing on the Riverfront stage on Saturday, so
• 1:26
  it is pretty cool and pretty nostalgic for me to be here see all the
• 1:29
  energy going on, and it's it's like a big reunion for country music.
• 1:32
  Everybody's finally in town because we live on the road, so all your buddies
• 1:34
  are in town. Everybody flew in to listen to country music. There's cold
• 1:38
  beer, the weather's perfect, it's I mean, it's hard not to have
• 1:41
  a good time. So when you're running into different people, is there somebody
• 1:45
  this year that you're hoping to run into? I mean, I'm always trying
• 1:49
  to run into George Strait somewhere at some point, but I don't think he's
• 1:53
  doing CMA festold But I'd say Jason Aldan's probably at the top of my list.
• 1:57
  But if you see me out getting routy. He's probably gonna be with
• 2:00
  my buddy Matt Still, that's like, that's my best buddy. So we're
• 2:01
  always, you know, walking around causing trouble somewhere. That'll be awesome.
• 2:06
  Well, congrats on your successful Mind on You song, I mean straight to
• 2:12
  number one first radio single. What does that feel like? It's your first
• 2:15
  one? Thank you guys. Yeah, hey, and let me just start
• 2:19
  by saying that doesn't happen without every single one of you. That's something that
• 2:23
  I've dreamed about my whole life, and it has completely changed my life,
• 2:25
  having my first number one. And I don't take that for granted for a
• 2:29
  day, because that doesn't happen without country music fans being the most incredible fans
• 2:32
  of the world, turning it up, requesting it, and making it part
• 2:36
  of the soundtrack of your life. So thank you guys so much. It
• 2:38
  means more than me than you'll ever know. And damn, it's pretty cool.
• 2:40
  I just hung the plaque on my wall. I got a big old
• 2:43
  plaque that says number one song on my wall, so that feels pretty cool.
• 2:46
  And we got a new one that's flying too, So I'm feeling very
• 2:51
  blessed these days. So now I want to ask you, because Mine on
• 2:53
  You was so crazy successful, do you kind of like feel the pressure for
• 2:59
  picking out like what's going to be the next single. I felt a huge
• 3:02
  amount of pressure when that song went number one, just because you got to
• 3:07
  go try to back it up, right, You've got a standard to meet
• 3:09
  now. But when I wrote my new single, Cowboy Songs, it eventually
• 3:14
  like just kind of took that pressure off my shoulders because it was exactly what
• 3:16
  I wanted to sound like. I love the way that it just felt like
• 3:20
  a party coming out of the speakers. And once I had written that song,
• 3:23
  I knew, no matter what, like, I feel good. I'm
• 3:25
  proud of this and I can't wait to put it out And it's actually moved
• 3:29
  even faster than Mind on You on the way up. So thank you guys
• 3:30
  so much for blowing it up. It's as excited as ever been about new
• 3:35
  music. I mean, you're geared up for a pretty exciting year. You're
• 3:38
  also going on the road with Sam Hunt. How did that come about?
• 3:43
  So yeah, this year has been like out of a movie for me.
• 3:46
  We went from playing you know, tiny bars with nobody in them to playing
• 3:51
  the biggest amphitheaters in America. We just wrapped up our last weekend with Parker
• 3:54
  McCollum last week, which was cool. A couple of Texas boys out.
• 3:57
  We did fifteen shows together. They were sold out every it was unbelievable.
• 4:00
  I was so thankful for the opportunity. And Sam actually heard the Mind on
• 4:04
  You remix and they reached out to my management and I had never met him
• 4:08
  before, and he said, hey, we like this song. We want
• 4:10
  to take you on tour. And I think that's one of the coolest things
• 4:12
  about Nashville is the superstars are always listening. They're always a paying attention and
• 4:15
  to give a guy like me a shot. We're gonna go play some of
• 4:17
  the biggest shows of my life all summer long, and I cannot wait to
• 4:19
  get to know him better. So it's gonna be a good time. That'll
• 4:21
  be awesome. Okay, So before we get to live music, I have
• 4:25
  one more question. Besides going on tour and working this summer, what's something
• 4:30
  else personally that you're looking forward to doing. I am taking my kids to
• 4:34
  the beach for a week for the fourth of July and I'm gonna sit in
• 4:38
  the sand and drink cold beer and do absolutely nothing. Yeah, they're gonna
• 4:42
  think it's a beached whale out there on the beach because I'm just I'm not
• 4:45
  moving. I'm stuck out there and I cannot wait. It's gonna be a
• 4:47
  good time. Yeah, it's well deserved. Y'all make some noise one more
• 4:51
  time for George Burrs. The party continues at Tequila Cowboys in downtown Nashville with
• 4:57
  iHeart Country and he's a special guest, Dylan Scot. Thank you for showing
• 5:00
  up to our iHeart Country House Party. My name is Brick Taylor. I'm
• 5:03
  the host of the midday show at the Big ninety eight. You can hear
• 5:06
  iHeart Country House Party on the Big ninety eight Saturday nights and everywhere on the
• 5:11
  free iHeartRadio app. But y'all make some noise for Dylan Scott. We'll seap
• 5:20
  everybody. You're gonna ask some juicy questions or what listen. I'm gonna leave
• 5:28
  the juicy questions to the fans, all right, sucy questions. I always
• 5:32
  love cmafest so much because you really get these intimate moments with fans that you
• 5:36
  usually don't get to have it shows. Yeah, we don't get to do
• 5:39
  this very much, you know, so I think it's cool. I think
• 5:41
  it's cooler. Body travels in from all over to see all their favorite artists,
• 5:45
  and we get to play really cool shows like this, and you know
• 5:47
  the fact that they do it in the heat of Nashville this time of year.
• 5:51
  Y'all. Y'all are real fans. Who's been sweating today? H anybody
• 5:55
  sweating? Yeah, make sure you grab some of those Ihart country house party
• 6:00
  fans on the way out. They're gonna save your life later today. I
• 6:03
  gotta say, I got baby number two on the way. Come on.
• 6:05
  You are one of my favorite dads to follow on social media because I feel
• 6:09
  like you're such a present dad. You're really good at balancing work, live
• 6:13
  stuff. At least you show it on Instagra. Yeah, I keep it
• 6:15
  real, you know so. I just realized, man, I dreamed about
• 6:19
  playing music my whole life, and then when when I came to daddy,
• 6:21
  I was like, you know what, being a daddy's the coolest thing in
• 6:25
  the world, and so I do. I try to give as much time
• 6:27
  as I can to my kids when I'm home, and I love how honest
• 6:30
  you are. I know you posted I think it was a couple of weeks
• 6:31
  ago, something about waking up in the morning you're just not feeling it today,
• 6:35
  and you're like, but I'm just too blessed to be stressed. Yeah,
• 6:39
  you share those real moments. Yeah we are. We're all too blessed
• 6:42
  to be stressed, you know. But we're all we all get down sometimes.
• 6:45
  And that day, I don't even know what the problem was. There
• 6:46
  really was no problem at all. I think I was just tired, you
• 6:48
  know, That's usually how it goes. It's just like you need a little
• 6:50
  bit more sleep, right, No doubt we all need that. How are
• 6:54
  the babies. Are they doing well? Babies are great. My son's playing
• 6:57
  baseball, my girls in gymnastics, and I got to month old. That's
• 7:00
  just eating and doing nothing up, pooping and eating. That's all he's doing.
• 7:04
  Yeah, that's what they're good at. Okay, the transition from one
• 7:06
  to two, tell me about that, because that's what I'm about to deal
• 7:09
  with. From one to two. It was a little transition, you know,
• 7:13
  but it was you. You fall right into it, it's no big
• 7:15
  deal. And then after that it's just you can have seventeen kids it is
• 7:18
  what it is. Okay, I'm gonna pass on the seventeen kids. You
• 7:23
  can get your on TV show if you do that. That's a fact.
• 7:25
  Maybe that's the way to go. Maybe that's my my get rich quick scheme
• 7:28
  right there. Just keep having babies, all right, think about your questions
• 7:30
