  Speaker 3: So, Adam, thank you so much for being on Taking

  Speaker 3: a Walk Nashville today. Your songs have been recorded by
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Nashville giants like Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Leon Wilmack, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: one of my favorites, Brandy Clark. Can you just start
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: by telling listeners how you got your start in songwriting
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: and where you're from.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Originally, I'm from Nonon, Georgia, which when I was growing
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: up there was a small town and after the Olympics
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in ninety six, there were no small towns that close
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to Atlanta there. It sort of swallowed everything. So but
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, I grew up my dad was a piano player,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: mostly you know, church music. My grandfather was a piano player,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and it was mostly like jazz standards, you know, from
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the thirties and forties, twenties and thirties and forties. So
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I heard I started as a piano player, I guess,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is what I'm trying to get at. And then I
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: heard a Chuck Berry record when I was about twelve
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: years old and just lost my mind about guitar and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: needed a guitar immediately. But so that was a lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of musicianship, you know, went on for years, and I
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: think when I was a teenager was when I started
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: getting interested in how to write songs because my friend
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and I started a band and we you know, we
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: sort of ran out of cover songs and started writing
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: songs to emulate the bands that we were into and professionally.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I guess I was living in Atlanta in my twenties
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and my wife and I had a band, my then
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: girlfriend who would become my wife. We had a band
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and we were writing a lot of songs. And I
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: had an uncle in the business, and I would send
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: him songs occasionally, and he was the one who was like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you guys, ought to move to either Austin, Texas or
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Nashville and sort of pursue this, you know, do it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And we didn't know anybody in Austin, so we moved
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to Nashville and got started learning how to, you know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: professionally write songs about going to writers' nights and trying
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to get in the room with what we considered real songwriters.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: And that's a you know, no matter how much you
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: do before you get to town, when you get to town,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you're starting over. It doesn't really matter what you've done
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: before you got here. At least it was that way
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: when we came here.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And it sounds like you grew up around
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: all sorts of genres growing up and that's so special
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: that you were able to write and do songs and
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: come out and pursue music with your wife and do
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: music together.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I mean some of my favorite we toured a lot,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and some of my favorite memories of playing music were
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the two of us just dragging a giant PA system
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: around to bars and restaurants and setting up ourselves and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: playing all night. For it was not very much money,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: but a whole lot of fun. It was a lot
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of sweat at the time, but man, we had a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: We had a really good time. It's what bonded us
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: was playing music together, singing together. That's how we met.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: We met on a gig.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's special. So you and your wife, you're
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: out here, you're playing at bars, doing gigs, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: trying to make it a Nashville. What was the turning
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: point in your career in Nashville? How did you get
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: into country music and get your first major cut as
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a songwriter.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Well, let's see, the first major cut as a songwriter
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: was an Alan Jackson song, two of them at the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: same time. So we, you know, we were writing and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: sort of trying to, you know, learn how to do things,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and we had a handful of songs and I took
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: them to Alan And this was like you know, pre
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Napster and all of that stuff, when records were selling.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So if you got a couple of songs on a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: record that did well, and a lot of records did well,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like you know, a lot of major artists went gold
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a lot, you know, so you could make a pretty
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: good living with album cuts without hits. And so anyway,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I got a couple of songs to him that he
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: really liked, one that Shannon, my wife, and I had
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: written together, and one that I'd written by myself. These
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: were songs I wrote in Atlanta, I think I can't remember,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: but anyway, he liked him, recorded them, put him on
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a record by the I mean, you know, we didn't
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: have publishing deals or anything. We just they were just
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: our songs. And man, the record did well, as all
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: his records were doing at the time. You know, we
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: made enough money to put a down payment on a house.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And I remember telling her. I was like, I thought,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you know, we can do this if we keep getting
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: better editor at writing songs and keep you know, meeting
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: more people, like we can make a decent living, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: writing songs. It's like almost immediately like naster sort of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: gobbled up the publishing business or the record selling business,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I should say, so most of that the way that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that all worked changed like immediately, like overnight, So then
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you had to kind of figure out new ways to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: do it and sort of stay alive. But it was
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: an interesting little window that you know, kind of closed
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: as soon as we jumped jumped through it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I love that you brought that up because I
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: think a lot of people don't realize that it's tough
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: for songwriters to make a living now, just as a
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: songwriter getting cuts unless it's a hit song. So how
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: do you navigate that change in the industry when most
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: of the income is based on streaming royalty that aren't
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: as much as back in the day with CDs.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's really they're geared towards the ownership of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: a master recording, which for people that aren't you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: music business savvy, like basically means the record company that
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: owns the record makes money off of streaming, and songwriters,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you know, the publishing money off of that it's almost
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: non existent. So yeah, all of that did change. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: so what if it's a hit that's different where it
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: used to be. If it was on an album, you
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: still made some money. You had a hit, obviously you
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: made more money, but you could still make a living
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: off of album cuts, which there were plenty of. You know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of artists weren't interested in writing back, you know,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: back then, unlike now. So I personally offset, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that change by doing studio work. You know, I play
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: guitar and piano and seeing in the studio quite a bit,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: with a lot of it with Frank Lindell, who runs
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Carnival Music and I'm signed to you, and he's a
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: brilliant producer and a great publisher and a pretty good guy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: So I'll work a lot with him in the studio
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and that's been a great thing. And I'll play shows
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and whatever else you can do to sort of hang
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: in there if songs are your passion.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Right, you definitely have to wear a lot of hats
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: in the music industry nowadays. But you know, besides being
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: a songwriter and studio musician, you're also an artist. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: just released your new folk album Nature of Necessity back
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: in September. Yeah, And what's interesting when I was reading
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: about your thoughts on this new album, you said, there's
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: no story behind the album you quoted, the story is
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: there's no story. I didn't get sober, there was no breakup.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: You know, you're just a lyric junkie with a melody addiction,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and you know, I believe there's a story behind every song.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So there's no story of the album. What made you
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: put this collection of songs together and put it out
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: in the world.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: A habit probably like it's you know, I'm just I've
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: always been in the habit of releasing music. From way
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: before we moved to Nashville. We were making and putting
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: out records, either solo or as a band, whatever we
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: were doing. It's just I think if you have that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: in you, you just always it's real hard to get out.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: If that is something that you feel is important to you,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to make a piece of work and put it out
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: in the world, that's a hard thing to not do
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: if you have that inkling. And I've just always had
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that inkling as a part of, you know, whatever I'm doing.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: And this collection, like all records, to me, I think
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: they're all born out of the same little swell of
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll call it inspiration. You know, you sort
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of get on a kick with a certain thing, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: there's a new excitement around some You've turned some corner
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: in your process or journey as a songwriter or artist
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And when you do that, there's all this
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: You get new wind in your sales and you know
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of new material that way. And so every
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: album that I've done has always been a collection of
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: whatever that particular moment was, you know, and then maybe
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: long moments. It maybe a year that it takes to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: get all of that together, but they all hang together
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: in the same way. They're all kind of born out
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of the same new new mindset or experience. So and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: these were that, with the exception of a couple, some
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: of these songs were a lot older than the others,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: particularly Dreamer and the Realist and Heaven When I Die
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I think predated the writing of a lot of these
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: other songs, So they were the outliers, I guess, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they fit together with all of.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: This they do. Yeah, it's I think it's beautifully pieced together.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Dreamer and the Realist is one of my favorites. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I think you did such a great job, which is
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: the detail of all of the songs, and listening through
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the album was Bob Dylan ever a lyrical influence of yours.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: That's funny. Nobody's ever asked that. And I think I
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: have like a complicated relationship with Bob Dylan's catalog, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: maybe most people do. I don't know. I don't talk
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: about it much, I guess, but man, I think some
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of his work is very good and important, and I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: think some of it is not very good. And I
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: almost think that's a hot take, I guess for a songwriter.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But I also think his figure looms so large over
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the craft of songwriting it's hard to accurately assess the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: quality of a lot of his work, in the same
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: way that I think Picasso is that way in the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: art work. He looms so large, he's so iconic, he's
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: synonymous with being a painter, the way that Bob Dylan
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: is synonymous with being a songwriter. So it's very hard
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: to accurately assess the quality of it because he's synonymous
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: with it. But so I try to. I don't know.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I have a weird relationship that Now, some of my
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: favorite songwriters are just absolute devotees of Bob Dylan, like
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Mark Knopfler, to me, is like the greatest living songwriter
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, and he's an absolute worshiper of Bob
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Dylan's writing. But I think markin Knopffler's writing. I hold
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Mark Knopfler's writing in higher esteem personally. Yeah, he does
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: something for me that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Bob Dylan does not.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, And you talk about painting, and you're also a painter.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I saw some of your work on social media. It's
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: really beautiful. And you have a thing shockboard wall behind
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: you all sort drawing too.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So that something making messes. I make noise and messes,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So you just love painting and your free time
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: when you're not making music.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't know if I love it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I do it, and like it's it's as frustrating as
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: like writing songs is kind of frustrating to me, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: painting is very frustrating because I'm you know, I have
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've been making some sort of visual art
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: since I was a child, but I'm still not very
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: good at it. Like it's still very it's still a
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: really frustrating thing for me to do. My wife will say,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: why don't you go relax and pain? And those two
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: things are not compatible relaxing like it's a it's a
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it's just a different, a different frustration to pick up
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: when that's not a guitar and some words I guess,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: but but I appreciate your kind words about it. It
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: is something that I enjoy the frustration of it, I guess.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's wrong with me, but you've definitely
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: have many creative talents. I want to go back to
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: your new album. When I first listened to it and
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Her Yellow Bird, I was really enthralled by the female
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: voices I kept hearing on the album. Who were your
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: background vocalists for the album?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you. One of them is Shannon, my wife,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and the other is Anna Laddel, who mixed the record actually,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: so she was our mixing engineer and recorded like all
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: of the overdubs that we did post tracking. The the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: two of them together, man, they's just what they sing
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: to me is so unpredictable and the texture of their
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: voices is unique. And that was sort of We recorded
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: this album with the idea that it would be live
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: three piece, myself playing and seeing live and Glenn Warf
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and Matt Chamberlain basing drums.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: That was it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That's all that that was the whole album, that's what
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: it was going to be. So we tracked the album
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that way. You know, there's some problems in that, like
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: things don't things don't happen that you're so used to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: hearing happen. And I kind of liked the wonkiness of it,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the fact that it did not satisfy you in the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: ways that you're used to being satisfied by production, you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I was. I was kind of and Frank was excited
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: about it too, but we both love, you know, harmony
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: so much. And once we got Shannon and Anna to
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: sing on like one song, which I don't know what
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that was, it might have been Yellow Bird. That was
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: pretty early on in the mixing process. Once that happened,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: it just opened the can of worms and then we started,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: you know, overdubbing all kinds of things. But we still
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: kept the bones of it, which is my playing and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: singing in Glenn's bass and Matt drums. We kept all
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: that live just to bother ourselves, I guess. I don't know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: there's so many imperfections in it that I've come to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: find charming in a way. But but yeah, their voices
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: kind of started the whole we're overdubbing on this. Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Their voices are so beautiful on the album. And you
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: also feature Leanne Wilmack and Patty Griffin on a couple
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: of songs on your album.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I love both of them so much, and they were
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: so nice. There's been so good to me over the years,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and uh, it was great to have them be a
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: part of this and talk about two really unmistakable voices.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, like you know each of them when you
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: hear you know, just a few notes out of there,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: out of their voice.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And where in Nashville did you record this album.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: It's East Irish. It used to be the House of
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Blues and uh, you know you're low Coal, Yeah I am. Yeah, Yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They might have changed the name from
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: then even I can't remember, but but yeah, that's where
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: we recorded. They call it the Sun Room, Uh, kind
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: of modeled after Sun Records. But it's the only time
• 17:04

  Speaker 3: a favorite place that you like to take a walk
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: in Nashville.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Let's see in Nashville. See, I live just outside in
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Nashville and I walk a lot, so I usually walk
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: around there, just kind of near my house. But we
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: used to go to Percy Warner. That's my favorite a
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: lot when we lived on that side of town. That's
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: a good walk, and I'll tell you what, you can
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: get a little turned around over there. Sometimes there's a you.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Can I always rely on my husband because he's run
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: those paths so many times.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: You get lost. I took a bike up there one
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: time when we lived over there years ago, and I
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: genuinely got lost. I did not know where it was
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and I had been biking for hours at that point.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I remember I had to call my wife and say,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: you have to come pick me up, like my legs
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: are jello and it's getting dark. Yeah, yeah, that was
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I guess that was probably my favorite. I like walking
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: around Music Row during the daytime. You know, my office
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: is on Music Grows, so sometimes if I have a
• 19:29
