Chris Young is Tired of the Waiting Game · Inside Country with Wayne D

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Bit a minute since we got to hang out with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: this guy. And by the way, last time you were
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: showing off a awesome World Series ring, it's Chris Young
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is in the house. Dude.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I forgot.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was that. Is that retired for a little bit?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Where is it at? Uh?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, let's not retired. I just I wore
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that for for you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, I know your sports guys, Okay, cool,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'll rock that today and do something kind of cool.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Sorry I'm boring. I'm just wearing a cool watch today.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Listen. I appreciate you coming. Obviously, you're a busy guy.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We were just talking a second ago. Uh. And I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: know this has been a topic you talk about a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: million times. I want to touch base. Uh. There's so
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: many artists with bars, right, Why did it make sense?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Because I'm not gonna ask why, because because while they
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: are not, that sounds fun. Why was this the right
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: time and how did everything line up for you?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I just found the right space. I didn't want something
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that was crazy, big, multi story. I wanted to do
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a sports bar. I wanted to do something that you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily lean towards the part of my life that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: is the majority of it, which is music. I wanted
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to do something a little bit different. So I finally
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: found a spot. It's ninety four person cap and I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: was like, Yeah, this is this is it, this is
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: what I've been looking for. So we put a lot
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: of effort into that, a lot of effort into the kitchen.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: My chefs are absolutely incredible. I feel like it's sort
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of a slap in the face to them to call
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it elevated bar food because it's so nice. Like we
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: did a taste test of everything and I was just like, man,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: this is insane. But it's going to be a lot
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of fun to have that place open. And you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we've got a bunch of stuff that we've hung up
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: on the walls, whether it's sports memorabilia all the way
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to you know, plaques of mind for music to stuff
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: from friends of mine that they've given and been like,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: hey man, hang this up. Let it have a spot.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be a different vibe and something
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that I've been wanting to do for a long time
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and just timed out perfectly.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And I was going to ask that too, because there's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of artists h and not just in Nashville,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: but around the country that you know, a company goes, hey,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I'll open a bar for you, and they're like, okay, sweet,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and then they're like, here's a bunch of stuff that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I wore at one point hanging on the walls. How
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: how were you How involved were you in the process
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of like, hey, here's how I want this to look,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Here's how I want this to feel. I mean, were
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you like looking at paint schemes of wallpaper or did
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you trust somebody else with that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I may or may not have been in there, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: helping install some of the stuff. Oh yeah, I was
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: very hands on with it, and you know, very dedicated
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to the point where you know, in one of the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: bathrooms there may or may not be a photo of
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: my dog in black and white h framed taking a poop,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you know, because how eloquent, how classy, okay good, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: don't know how that would go over and a labs
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to be fair.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Uh, you you're talking on the decor of the building,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: like it's more Chris Young the person versus Chris Young
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the artist. Right, it's more you're personal.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, So you know I've got one of the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: plaques that's in there is a Lee Brice plaque, but
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's the one that was presented to my buddy john Stone,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: who wrote the song that Lee cut, and all of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: us know each other. So being able to have personal
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: touches like that, I think are are a lot of fun.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it's going to be a cowboys bar. Sorry
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Eagles fans's cry, so let's push some Eagles fans as
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: far out as we can. It's definitely going to be
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a place where everybody just kind of sort of come
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: hang out. Like one of the things that I mentioned
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to somebody and they were like, oh, I've never thought
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: about that before, is we're going to have a lot
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of the football like soccer matches on early in the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: morning because a lot of people come to Nashville from
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the UK because they want to be here and they
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: love country music, and they don't have any place to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: go to really watch those games because no one's playing them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So that's something we're going to try and not necessarily
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: specialize in, but sort of cater to.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really cool. Are you Is that your anytime
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we've caught up we talk about your podcast to a
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: certain degree, is that somewhere where you hope that like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: even your podcast can can come to life a little
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: bit more.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I sort of put that to the side when I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: started doing this. I haven't like the podcast has been
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: on hiatus sort of indefinitely because between that touring, the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: new label, being with you know, Black River, and putting
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: out a new album and then now putting out a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: deluxe on the fifteenth, you know, there's there's been a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: lot going on. So I've sort of had to pick
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and choose, like, Okay, you can only do so much
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: if you want it to be really well done. So
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I've sort of I'm not saying I wouldn't ever revitalize that,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: but it definitely is a place that will be used
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: for multiple different things. Hopefully we're throwing some number one
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: parties in there, for I didn't come here to leave.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The last thing I want to ask that is not
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: music career related, is last time you're in here. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: love talking fantasy football with you. Who And we'll clip
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this so we can use it close to the season.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So if they are healthy, who, give me like, who
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: would be one of your top picks this year? Not
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: just one? Like give me a couple in the that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you're like, hey, here's or a sleeper. You're like, hey,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: this is my ace and the whole guy.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I oh man, it's it's too early. This is right, Like,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I don't ever do my draft until the week before
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the season kicks because it never fails, someone gets hurt
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that you have like on your roster, of like, this
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: is the guy that I'm going to pick, this is
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: my sleeper pick. And I'm not kidding. It never fails.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I'll have at least one person go down before week
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: one kicks off. So I'll tell you right now, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: will gladly come back on and hang with you and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: talk about that all right when we're closer to the season.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just going to be interesting to see
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: how some of the running back situations sort of scale out.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it looks like those teams gave up on running.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, and then some are gonna have to give in,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean you look at the Ravens. They've
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: always notoriously been a run heavy offense, whether it's Lamar
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: or Derrick Henry or somebody else that's you know, been
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: picked up and is sort of their their third option.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Like they've they've always sort of leaned into that. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they're gonna make him more stationary and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: less mobile this year's and they're just trying not to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: telegraph it. So the little things like that, as you
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: get closer to the season, you can sort of like
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: pick up on those.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Listen, we'll dive in once we get close to fall,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: once that Chris breeze hits the air here in Nashville. Yeah,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we're far away from that, but yeah, we got we
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: got some humidity to swim through. Coming up here always
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: during zay Fast Week isn't that great?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It never fails.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And it's funny because it literally feels, like I said
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the other day, I'm like, if your name is Noah
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Star building a narc because the rain's coming. Oh yeah,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that's how it's felt. CMA Fest. It looks like, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the weather's going to open up here. We'll talk about
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: CMA Fest first here. Is that something that you look
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: forward to because it's really like you're busy, Like it's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: even though it's h home and you likely will sleep
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in your own bed whenever you get there, whenever you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: get done.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is something I definitely look forward to, and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you know, growing up here obviously being from Murphy Store,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: at Tennessee. One of the things that I used to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: do was go to it when it was called Fanfare
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: back in the day at the Fairgrounds. And I've got great,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: great memories from that as a kid and being a
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: country music fan. So as it changed and evolved over time,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: of course, is it still really really awesome. Yeah, especially
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: if you live country music. There's just so much to see,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: so much to do. You can't get to everything because
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: there's so many people doing so many different things, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you know this is gonna be the last year that
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it's at this stadium, the old.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Stum.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Good lord.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: What what country music fans don't realize too is as
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: much as this is work and you're gonna be shaking
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: hands and kissing babies, making stress.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Don't say backwards, don't shake babies.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I heard that shortened career. But this is also an
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: opportunity for you to catch up with with friends in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the industry, right Like, as much as you can.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: People camera are laughing really hard, right now, go ahead.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: People don't realize this is a shot for you to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: catch up with some friends in the industry as well.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You could be super close with another artist, but like
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you only see them at stuff like this, Who are
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: some people that you hope, like, Hey, I haven't seen
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: so and so in a while, it'd be nice to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: run into them. See.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I actually feel like this week specifically is less of that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, mainly because all of us are like in
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: different places trying to do different things at the same time. Yeah,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and so like, even if you run into somebody, it's
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: like you're backstage at an event, You're like, oh, hey, man,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: can see you. Dap them up and then move on.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like you get that more at award shows
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: because you get a lot of downtime after, like you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: walking carpets and stuff. But yeah, I still feel like
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you get to catch up with people. Most of my
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: friends like I annoy the crap out of them anyway,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, KB Mitchell Tenpenny, like people
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: like that that I'm real close with, Like I annoyed
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: them enough.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So you were you just brought up. Obviously, we're getting
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: ready to celebrate the deluxe edition of the album. As
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: an artist, the deluxe edition thing used to be sporadic,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: didn't happen a ton. Now it feels pretty regular for
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that to happen for an album. Especially in country music
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: as an artist. Is that a cool experience for you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: because it's almost like the original songs get to get
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to have a second life, but like, also, here's you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: another version or here's some new songs.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: That I mean, for me, I love the timing at
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: least in this particular instance for me, because I'm going
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: with I didn't come here to leave as the new single.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: It's the title track of the record. Plus now I
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: get to give people, you know, a duet with Breelin
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: do it with Shalin and another new song that one
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of my really close friends wrote. So I feel like
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: it gives it a little bit of a new life
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: at the same time that you know, we're dropping a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: new single and then you know, you can have multiple
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: songs work at the same time now, So it's kind
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of cool to have some new stuff to give to,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you know, fans of your music and and people that
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: are just excited to hear something different that maybe if
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: they've gone through like the track listing or if they haven't,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: they'll find that stuff there.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You have a certain glow about you, As you mentioned
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the single is does this song mean more to you
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: than others? Is are you more proud of this song
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: than maybe some others on the album that you're not
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: proud of you. Yeah, I was gonna say, he's there's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: some real shit on there, but there's some.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Now I'm definitely really proud of this song. It's funny
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: because I started saying this, and I'm sort of like,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: you know, kept it as as like a trademark of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: when I talk about the song, you know, it is
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the album title, but also you know, this song sounds
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: like you wrote it at nine pm, and we wrote
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: this at nine am. And it was because the previous
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: night I was out and I was getting ready to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: go home at like six o'clock in Dallas. Davidson, who's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: one of the writers on it with our buddy Kyle Fishman,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: he was standing next to me and I'm like, I'm
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: gonna head out. Man, traffic's dying down, because you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: everybody loves Nashville traffic. And he goes, do you know
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: one more? And I was like, yeah, I mean I
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: could have one more. I'm not driving. I took an
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: uber down here from my house and he is I
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: was like, do you want one more? He goes, well,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't come here to leave and I was like,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what now say that one more time? He goes,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't come here to leave, and I was like, Dallas,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: have you ever written that before? And he's like no.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, can we write tomorrow? And he's like,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I've gotten eleven am, but I could do nine am.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: So you know, we got up super early, wrote that
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: song in maybe forty five minutes, and like Kyle did
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: a quick demo track and I sang the vocal that
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: morning and was out of there.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: It's funny because even as you say that, it's like, Wow,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a great song and like a good
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: story to tell in his song? Is there? Is there
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a song you have, whether it's on this deluxe or
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: something that's been out that you're like, I'm floored this
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: hasn't been out there before like this, How with how
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: easy it came out, how easy the ideas flowed, the
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: song wrote itself like there, How the hell was this
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: not done before?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: You know, Honestly, the song that I did with Shalan,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: like the hook being that makes one of us. I
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: don't know how many times I've said that around friends.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Usually as a smart ass, right, yeah, trying to.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Be Yeah, that makes one of us and then for
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: us to turn it into you know, a truly in
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: absolated breakup song, because I don't care what anybody says.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Ninety nine percent of the time if you go through
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: a breakup, I don't care. If both of you are
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: saying you're good, one of the people is not. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: so being able to take that and sort of twist
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: it around that title I thought was a really cool thing.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a great idea. Do you so we'll
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: get the deluxe edition. You're going to be busy on
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the road the bars opening. We'll leave a space there
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: to edit the date. Maybe I may know by the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: time I walk out of here, so but you should
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: leave your phone out in case you get it up there, right,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: what are other things this year that you're like, Man,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I'm so fortunate that this is on my calendar this
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: year and I know all of it, right, Like this touring,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: like that's all stuff you enjoy and don't take for granted.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: But what's what are other things that you're like that
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we as fans might not think that you're like excited
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: about the rest of the year.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Oh man, you know, just it sounds very very boring,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: but being busy. A lot of the time, you'll look
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: at your schedule and you'll be like, ugh, I wish
• 16:17

  Speaker 1: country radio has a special relationship with country music fans.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I think more so than any than any other format

  Speaker 1: of music. When it comes to your relationship with country radio,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: what is that Because they're streaming, there's social media, there's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: all these different When you started, all those things didn't exist.

• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to some people. And then some people are like, no,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: this is amazing. It's going to unlock all these avenues
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: for us. And it's the same thing, you know, going
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: back to before I had a record deal, when LimeWire exist.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: So I think it's it's a constant evolution, and I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: think the one thing that we've always retained is at
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: least to me, I can't speak for anybody else, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: you never put words in anybody else's mouth. But with
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: country music, it has always been my love because of
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: the love people showed to it. You know, you got
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: people that have been fans of artists for you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: four decades, and I just think that while you sometimes
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: see that in other genres, it is extremely, extremely true
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: to people that are fans of country and I just
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: think that's something really special that we need to hold
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: on to. So it doesn't matter what the changes are,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how things evolve, you know, keep putting
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: out good music, people keep showing up.
