  My I'll tell you what, the the engineer I got to work with, he's phenomenal.
• 2:26
  He works in Nashville.
• 2:27
  He works with some really amazing artists.
• 2:31
  He he told me some of the artists he's worked with today, and I was like, dude, I didn't even
• 2:36
  know that.
• 2:36
  I mean, he's worked with guys like Hardy and Austin Snell and Uncle Cracker and, gosh, so
• 2:42
  many other just amazing musicians.
• 2:47
  And I tell you, man, it was just an it was an amazing experience for me.
• 2:51
  It's my first time ever being in a legitimate studio like that.
• 2:56
  And especially cutting a track like that.
• 2:58
  And I I I was just blown away.
• 3:00
  It's it's not fully done yet, but, man, what do you put together today on the spot was just I
• 3:08
  was I mean, I couldn't believe it.
• 3:10
  I couldn't believe.
• 3:10
  I'm still kinda starstruck by what he did, man.
• 3:13
  It's awesome.
• 3:14
  Well, you kinda you get what you pay for when you work with these guys that have a plethora
• 3:18
  of experience in the field.
• 3:20
  Right?
• 3:20
  Like, they're able to set up.
• 3:22
  They're already kinda set up with how they you know, it's small tweaks when you're in there.
• 3:27
  Right?
• 3:27
  They're set up to record that vocal, and it sounds better than you ever could get it to
• 3:32
  sound at home.
• 3:33
  Right?
• 3:34
  The space
• 3:34
  is set
• 3:35
  up and yeah, man.
• 3:36
  I'm so happy for you, dude.
• 3:38
  I I can see that glow about you.
• 3:40
  You're a different man now than you were twenty four hours ago when we got to talk.
• 3:45
  Man, I'm telling you, man.
• 3:47
  Like, I I think, we might have a little clip of it here shortly, but it, gosh, man.
• 3:54
  I I'm telling you.
• 3:55
  I I turned it on when I got in the car.
• 3:58
  As soon as I left, he sent me a, you know, a copy of it, and I put it on the speakers in the
• 4:03
  car, and I'm listening to it riding down the road, and I'm just like, holy crap.
• 4:08
  Like, I I just I I knew it was gonna be good.
• 4:11
  Don't get me wrong.
• 4:12
  I knew it was gonna be good because of what work he does, but man, I I it was when I say I
• 4:19
  had my expectations were like really high.
• 4:22
  Dude, it come out, like, up here, like, off the scale.
• 4:26
  So, I mean, it's just it was it was phenomenal, man.
• 4:29
  Awesome, dude.
• 4:30
  Well, I can't wait to hear that, but I think where we wanna start tonight, because both
• 4:37
  Willie and I have had you on on our respective podcast already, I don't know how far we need
• 4:42
  to dig back into your story, but I want you to go ahead and share a little bit for for our
• 4:47
  listeners that are tuning in live tonight and kind of, give them, the brief history before we
• 4:53
  get into the music.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:55
  Absolutely.
• 4:55
  Well, of course, you know, my name is Dalton Jones, and, I started doing music at four years
• 5:00
  old and singing in church and doing all the great things there and taught myself how to
• 5:06
  play the guitar at about 13, 14 years old and started playing and doing things of that nature
• 5:12
  and then I really didn't start singing and playing the guitar till I was about 17 ish
• 5:17
  somewhere right in that area, 18 And, played it for years in church, did all kinds of things
• 5:24
  there, special music, you name it.
• 5:26
  But during that time period, I was also singing a lot of karaoke and hanging out at the karaoke
• 5:31
  joints with all my friends and my wife.
• 5:34
  That's where I actually met her was doing that and, gravitated from there.
• 5:40
  Over the last, nine, ten years, my wife has been just hammering me.
• 5:44
  You need to do music.
• 5:45
  You need to do music and do more than just singing karaoke on Friday nights.
• 5:51
  And finally, after almost ten years of her hammering me about that, I finally took her up
• 5:56
  on it.
• 5:57
  And just a little over a year ago, we started playing out, writing our own music and and
• 6:02
  doing show across, here across Alabama.
• 6:06
  And, today, we got to cut our first studio track.
• 6:09
  So it's it's been a a quick turnaround of things, but it's been a blast, an absolute
• 6:16
  blast.
• 6:19
  Yeah.
• 6:19
  What what a ride, man.
• 6:21
  What a ride y'all have been on.
• 6:23
  And I can't wait to talk to your wife about that book that she wrote and released this year
• 6:28
  too.
• 6:29
  I I love a creative couple.
• 6:32
  Absolutely.
• 6:33
  Yeah.
• 6:33
  She's she's so talented and she's helped me write some of the songs that we've released.
• 6:40
  We're gonna hopefully get those tracked here pretty soon as well and my goal is I would like
• 6:46
  to by this time next year come out with a full album and we've got a full album worth of music
• 6:51
  put together right now.
• 6:52
  We just gotta get it tracked.
• 6:53
  So, that's my goal is to get that done in the next year.
• 6:58
  And my wife, like I said, she's just so talented in in her writing and things that she
• 7:03
  does.
• 7:03
  So I have an unfair advantage when it comes to writing music because she always helps and
• 7:07
  gives me input and feedback and let's change this line or change that word and man, it it
• 7:13
  just it's so helpful and just it's a great team, which I think that's how any marriage is
• 7:18
  supposed to be.
• 7:20
  For sure.
• 7:21
  So, boo boo, since you haven't had a chance to really talk to Dalton, I know you guys were
• 7:25
  backstage before I got in here right before we started recording.
• 7:29
  You have any a question for him off the top here before we get into the music?
• 7:37
  I guess I just kinda wanna know who really inspires you to, like, make your music.
• 7:42
  You know?
• 7:42
  Who's your inspirations in this?
• 7:45
  Well, you know, as far as, like, my own personal, motivation and what inspires me is my
• 7:53
  family number one.
• 7:54
  So, you know, my wife and and I've got three daughters.
• 7:58
  And so, you know, they're they're my number one inspiration.
• 8:02
  Everything I do, I try to just give them a better life and and do a better for them and
• 8:08
  music is something that's a passion of mine.
• 8:11
  It's a dream of mine and so to be able to do music, something that I love and I'm passionate
• 8:17
  about and and hopefully give my my family a brighter future is the biggest thing.
• 8:22
  And then as far as my inspiration in music, as far as like where my music comes from, you
• 8:29
  know, some of my favorite artists and musicians of all time were Charlie Daniels, Johnny Cash,
• 8:36
  the old outlaw country guys, Hank Junior.
• 8:39
  I love all those guys.
• 8:40
  Jamie Johnson Johnson has a big impact on some of the things that I do.
• 8:44
  He's an amazing artist and songwriter.
• 8:47
  And then, of course, you know, I love guys like Hardy who's a newer artist, but he's just an
• 8:53
  amazing songwriter, and I like his style of music.
• 8:56
  So I would say there's these are kind of my the guys that I kinda look to to say, hey.
• 9:01
  I would if I could model myself after an artist, it'd be kinda in that that realm.
• 9:07
  You know, those are all some guys, man.
• 9:10
  I love that.
• 9:11
  Some great songwriters in that block for sure.
• 9:14
  You know, it's funny, Dalton.
• 9:16
  When we were chatting yesterday, you mentioned, growing up right down the road from Riley Green
• 9:21
  and his hometown.
• 9:22
  I just got a press release today from our local arena, and, he's gonna be coming out here to
• 9:28
  play next summer.
• 9:29
  So I'm putting it for press passes.
• 9:31
  I'm a I'm a drop the Alabama in there and see if we can get backstage with him.
• 9:36
  Heck.
• 9:37
  Yeah.
• 9:37
  You know, he is I'll tell you what.
• 9:39
  He puts on a amazing show and an amazing show.
• 9:43
  I will say that.
• 9:45
  And he's he's a he is a crowd feeding artist.
• 9:50
  You know, he he feeds a lot off the crowd and has a lot of interact interactions with the
• 9:54
  crowd.
• 9:55
  So I think from a performance standpoint, entertainer, he's just a really good
• 10:00
  entertainer.
• 10:01
  And Riley's a really good songwriter too, man.
• 10:03
  He he has written some amazing songs.
• 10:06
  We do we cover a lot of his stuff when we play, and and it's it's a joy.
• 10:12
  But yeah, I can I can remember singing Carrie?
• 10:17
  We did karaoke together a few times back in the day and I can remember watching him play in the
• 10:23
  local, you know, bars and joints here.
• 10:25
  I've literally watched him play in front of about 10 people before.
• 10:28
  So, and and now he's playing in front of a 100,000, and it's just it's it's wild.
• 10:33
  Really is.
• 10:35
  Well and that's gotta be so inspiring to to see that firsthand that, like Mhmm.
• 10:41
  You can go from playing in front of 10 people, and before you know it, be in front of massive
• 10:47
  crowds and doing your thing.
• 10:49
  So really cool to have some some hometown inspiration there working for you.
• 10:54
  That that's amazing.
• 10:57
  Man, we're gonna get into some songs.
• 10:59
  Willie, did you guys talk about what song you're gonna play first tonight?
• 11:02
  Not really.
• 11:03
  He just sent me to him, and I figured we're gonna play the first story he already sent me.
• 11:09
  And then at the end, we're gonna kinda sneak in that little tidbit of the one he did today.
• 11:14
  Yeah.
• 11:15
  I like that.
• 11:16
  So you put them in the background music and not in the sounds thing.
• 11:22
  So I don't I don't know if it's gonna work like we want it to, but we're just learning here,
• 11:27
  Dalton.
• 11:27
  You'll have to forgive us, brother.
• 11:29
  We're trying to figure this out as we go.
• 11:33
  Let's see if this, if this play do we have a copy of his logo too we could put up there?
• 11:37
  Oh,
• 11:37
  we don't.
• 11:38
  It's up there.
• 11:39
  Oh, it's in the logo section, though.
• 11:41
  It needs to be in the needs to be in a different spot, but that's okay.
• 11:47
  Oh, there you go.
• 11:48
  There you go.
• 11:48
  Look at that.
• 11:49
  That looks beautiful.
• 11:51
  Oh, moaningful.
• 11:52
  Man, this is a giant on my face.
• 11:54
  Live production.
• 11:55
  My face.
• 11:58
  Dog, you know what?
• 11:59
  Play this, buddy.
• 12:00
  That's not such a bad thing, Willie.
• 12:02
  Before we play this, buddy, I just wanna say how incredibly proud I am of you, to see you
• 12:07
  from TikTok to where how far you come.
• 12:10
  I I am overly proud of how far you've come, buddy.
• 12:14
  Hey, man.
• 12:15
  I you know, it's, I appreciate it.
• 12:17
  I really do.
• 12:18
  And it's man, it's gone so much quicker than I had ever expected.
• 12:25
  To be honest with you, if you'd have told me a year ago, we would be in the studio today and
• 12:29
  recording a track, and I said you're crazy.
• 12:33
  But, it has it's just kind of been like a domino effect, man.
• 12:37
  It's just just boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 12:38
  So, I'm hey.
• 12:40
  I I I like moving fast.
• 12:42
  I played, played football a long time in my life and played running back.
• 12:47
  So, you know, you gotta be quick on your feet there.
• 12:49
  So it's kinda part of it.
• 12:51
  So we're we're handling it and and rolling with the punches, man.
• 12:54
  I love it.
• 12:55
  Well, I got nothing to lose pulled up.
• 12:57
  We're gonna see if it works with this background noise, background music thing, and,
• 13:01
  give it a listen.
• 13:02
  So, without any further ado, this is, Dalton Jones here on Love Noise, and this is his song,
• 13:12
  Nothing to Lose.
• 13:13
  This is gonna be my self produced stuff too, so it's not the best, but it'll give you
• 13:19
  Brother, we had Boo Boo
• 13:20
  bring his stuff on self produced, last week, and, we didn't murder him.
• 13:25
  So it's all
• 13:26
  good, brother.
• 13:27
  We're gonna
• 13:28
  take it easy on you.
• 13:29
  We understand what it's like, man.
• 13:31
  I'm a musician myself.
• 13:32
  You know, Willie's a, I would say amateur podcaster.
• 13:36
  He's getting to be a professional, but we're all learning, man, And this show is no
• 13:40
  different.
• 13:40
  So nothing to lose.
• 13:44
  It's
• 13:44
  lose.
• 13:45
  Hey.
• 13:48
  See?
• 13:48
  We're putting fix that.
• 13:50
  I can fix that.
• 13:53
  Is that the hillbilly education?
• 13:55
  That's my three r's.
• 13:57
  Reading your head necker in writing.
• 13:59
  Okay?
• 13:59
  Y'all leave me alone.
• 14:01
  Willie, make it a banner because I think if you put it up like you did there, it covers up
• 14:04
  Dalton Jones' pretty face.
• 14:06
  We don't wanna add that.
• 14:07
  Alright.
• 14:08
  Here's the Boo Boo, they're asking if you got better Wi Fi in the chat, by the way.
• 14:14
  I don't know if I call it better, but it works.
• 14:17
  Oh, it's way better.
• 14:18
  Good job, Dave.
• 14:19
  Better, Boo Boo.
• 14:20
  Alright.
• 14:20
  Nothing to lose.
• 14:22
  This is by Dalton Jones.
• 18:30
  Well, I think we lost him.
• 18:32
  Yes, sir.
• 18:33
  He'll be back.
• 18:34
  SR.
• 18:34
  He's he's tech savvy, man.
• 18:37
  That's a killer song, dude.
• 18:39
  I I was really digging on that.
• 18:41
  To me, I it makes me think of, like, what maybe the, garage tapes of Leonard Skinner or
• 18:46
  something sounded like, right, before they wrote all those hits, and they were just
• 18:50
  getting together.
• 18:51
  It was simple songs with a lot of soul.
• 18:55
  I liked it, man.
• 18:56
  Willie, what'd you think?
• 18:58
  I'll let Boo Boo go first because I've heard it before tonight.
• 19:02
  Alright, Boo Boo.
• 19:03
  Unmute yourself.
• 19:10
  Sorry, I muted myself for the song just because of the dogs and stuff but yeah, you know, I
• 19:15
  really like that one.
• 19:16
  It reminds me a lot of some stuff that my friends who, I mean, they never end up
• 19:20
  releasing stuff but they wrote a lot of like, you know, really soulful things like that and
• 19:23
  that reminds you of a bet a much better version of that and like, I really enjoyed, you know,
• 19:29
  the lyrics and like just the music itself even just you feel it.
• 19:33
  You know, it's something you don't just hear that song.
• 19:36
  You actually feel that song.
• 19:39
  Yeah.
• 19:39
  I wish I had had it while I was out on the road all summer, right?
• 19:42
  Talking about missing missing the family back home and just being out there, letting it all
• 19:48
  hang really having like like it says, man, nothing to lose.
• 19:52
  Right?
• 19:53
  And I feel like that really speaks to us in particular, where we're all kind of at in our
• 20:00
  lives is that, man, you you were as as destitute as we can be some days.
• 20:05
  Right?
• 20:05
  Well, some of us ain't even got a pot to piss in, but we're out here giving it our all.
• 20:10
  We're connecting with people.
• 20:12
  Awesome people like Dalton himself who speaking of connections, he'll be coming back here soon.
• 20:18
  I I promise you.
• 20:20
  Just having some some Internet difficulties right now, but we didn't kick him out like we
• 20:24
  did to boo boo last week.
• 20:26
  I tell you what kicked me out.
• 20:29
  Yeah.
• 20:29
  We did.
• 20:30
  No.
• 20:30
  Just kidding.
• 20:31
  I tell you what, though.
• 20:32
  Hearing that track is so much different than hearing him.
• 20:35
  Because I've heard the song before because when I joined his TikTok live, that is actually one
• 20:42
  of the songs he played.
• 20:45
  So it was really interesting to hear the the way it portrayed differently.
• 20:54
  Like, I love the lyrics of that song.
• 20:56
  You know?
• 20:58
  He actually I'm pretty fortunate.
• 21:00
  He sent it to me, and I'm gonna start playing it at the DJ events I go to, and I have his
• 21:05
  permission to do so.
• 21:11
  That's nice.
• 21:12
  So you got to hear, like, the raw acoustic version on TikTok first.
• 21:16
  That was kinda your introduction, Dalton?
• 21:18
  Oh, yeah.
• 21:19
  I I honestly, it's one of them nights I couldn't sleep when I strolled through TikTok
• 21:23
  to the and it was one of them nights.
• 21:34
  You know, that's perfect timing for me not being the one with the issues.
• 21:37
  Right?
• 21:39
  But, yeah, it was one them
• 21:41
  times where
• 21:42
  Renee, now we're working on Dalton's Wi Fi.
• 21:44
  Don't you worry.
• 21:46
  But it's one of them times where I couldn't sleep, so I did what I've been doing for the
• 21:49
  podcast and just scrolling through Facebook, TikTok, and seeing who pops out.
• 21:55
  And I I said, okay.
• 21:58
  I'm a be here about thirty minutes.
• 21:59
  And what thirty minutes turned to a six hour live that it was like I had on my own personal
• 22:04
  concert with a bunch of other people.
• 22:14
  And that's awesome, you know?
• 22:16
  You got to like really hear a lot of the raw acoustics there, Willie?
• 22:20
  Oh, it was.
• 22:23
  He's an amazing talented person.
• 22:25
  He really is.
• 22:27
  I wish I had half that much talent in my big toe for music.
• 22:31
  I mean, I could do a lot of things, but music is not one of them.
• 22:34
  And you got a big toe.
• 22:37
  I got a big I figured I'd make the big head comment before you did.
• 22:45
  Yeah
• 22:48
  Renee.
• 22:49
  I can't agree with you more.
• 22:51
  We got to get back to that soulful music.
• 22:53
  I think everybody, everybody in the world is kind of tired of the cookie cutter pop music.
• 22:59
  Like I said, it all has its place.
• 23:01
  Right?
• 23:02
  It it all has its place in life, but I feel like you're just so dominated by that on what's
• 23:09
  in pop music or you hear on Spotify that's on the constant playlist.
• 23:13
  Right?
• 23:13
  Like, that you can't it it feels like you can't get away from it.
• 23:19
  Right?
• 23:19
  And and I definitely I definitely feel that that soulful, heartfelt music is making a
• 23:29
  comeback.
• 23:30
  And it's why I know that we hit this show and what the scene projects is doing as a network,
• 23:37
  what Willie's doing with soul impact and boo boo has with the boo boo project now, of
• 23:42
  bringing out artists that to just let them kinda bear their souls out there and and give
• 23:48
  people the courage to do so.
• 23:51
  The you're writing songs for radio isn't where it's at anymore.
• 23:55
  Right?
• 23:55
  Radio ain't gonna play your song anyway.
• 23:58
  So bring it here to Love Noise, that's where we wanna where we wanna showcase that kind of
• 24:04
  music.
• 24:05
  So appreciate you coming in with us again here, Renee, and and tuning in to the show.
• 24:11
  We appreciate you commenting and sharing it out there.
• 24:14
  So
• 24:16
  Listen.
• 24:16
  We're gonna have to give him crap when he comes in here because he just sent me a message and
• 24:20
  he said, me talking smacking, here I am.
• 24:24
  So we're gonna have to give him a little smack talking when he comes back.
• 24:28
  Yeah.
• 24:29
  For sure.
• 24:30
  Well, maybe this is maybe this is a good time for a little a little commercial break.
• 24:35
  Let's we're gonna run some video.
• 24:38
  So I've been working with a couple of you know, we've been on the TV lately with our with our
• 24:44
  songwriter showcase shows, and I wanna give you all a taste of what that looks like.
• 24:49
  So we're gonna roll a commercial here real quick and and, like, give you a little taste of
• 24:53
  the songwriter showcase, and we're gonna do what we can to get Dalton back on here.
• 24:57
  So Roll that beautiful beam footage.
• 25:00
  This is the scene projects.
• 25:03
  This is the songwriter showcase.
• 25:32
  Yeah.
• 25:32
  Well, we're not here just to talk.
• 25:33
  We're here to play and sing some songs too.
• 25:35
  So why don't you guys give us a song, and then we'll come back and talk some more.
• 25:39
  Alright.
• 25:39
  Yeah.
• 25:40
  My dreams are bigger than that small town.
• 25:47
  I was waiting on the storm to come.
• 25:53
  It's been coming down forever.
• 25:55
  It's the warmth in the fingertips.
• 26:00
  Where the cold air catches your understanding slips.
• 26:08
  Sliding down the driveway, swearing at the snow plow driving by.
• 26:29
  If I could change your mind, you'd know that I would.
• 26:37
  No need to say goodbye.
• 26:41
  The boy is understood.
• 27:00
  This day has been an incredible, incredible experience, not only for myself, but for
• 27:05
  everyone who entered this room.
• 27:07
  We hope that you enjoy the performances.
• 27:09
  We hope that you go and follow and find your new favorite songwriter inside of this show.
• 27:14
  And I pray that this community continues to grow.
• 27:55
  Hey, Bubba.
• 27:56
  Why don't we use this time while we wait on Dalton and let everyone tell a little bit about
• 28:00
  their show?
• 28:02
  Yeah.
• 28:02
  I'm down with Willie, why don't you take it, man?
• 28:04
  You go ahead and tell everybody about Soul Impact.
• 28:07
  We've already brought it up a couple of times tonight.
• 28:09
  A great segue there as we heard Tyler Herwig on that songwriter showcase clip, performing his
• 28:17
  song enough, which you can find on the scene projects radio at thesceneprojects.com as well.
• 28:23
  But he was just a guest on your show this week.
• 28:25
  Right, Willie?
• 28:26
  Yeah.
• 28:27
  Yeah.
• 28:27
  He was.
• 28:30
  And for those of you that are watching and ain't familiar, come check me out.
• 28:35
  I do prerecorded, but I stream a new episode every Thursday at well, they keep changing
• 28:43
  times on me.
• 28:44
  It was five.
• 28:44
  Now it's six, but just come check it out.
• 28:47
  And if you're an artist and you have story, the point behind my podcast is be able to share
• 28:54
  them hard moments that behind the songs that you wrote and share the experience and the
• 29:01
  healing that writing that song offered.
• 29:04
  This is so many times that people hear a song, and they're like, oh, I can relate, but I you
• 29:10
  know?
• 29:10
  And me and you have talked time and time again, Bubba, where you said a great artist, when you
• 29:15
  get off they get off that stage, they're gonna be able to know you better by what you how you
• 29:21
  performed.
• 29:22
  And, you know, that's what I try to offer and to show people that there's hope at the bottom
• 29:28
  of a dark road dark road.
• 29:33
  No doubt.
• 29:34
  And I loved being a guest on your show.
• 29:38
  I've loved watching the show continue to evolve and grow.
• 29:43
  You've had some great guests on.
• 29:44
  You've had some great conversations.
• 29:46
  Really loved the one with a couple of vibe fest Vibe Fest performers, people that I got to meet
• 29:53
  while we were down there.
• 29:54
  The fire white episode is just that.
• 29:58
  It's fire, man.
• 29:59
  Yeah.
• 30:00
  Huge.
• 30:00
  Holy shit.
• 30:01
  You gave me a hard time.
• 30:03
  Yeah.
• 30:03
  Well, that's what made it even better.
• 30:05
  That's what made it even better is that you're so you're such a good host because you people
• 30:12
  trust you.
• 30:13
  Right?
• 30:13
  And they're trusting you with some really deep stuff, and that's really the beauty of
• 30:17
  podcasting.
• 30:18
  Like, even though these things are going out to the masses, because of the way that it's filmed
• 30:23
  and people are in their own space, and they're talking to just the camera, and they're sharing
• 30:29
  it with just you that it just makes for some great, great content.
• 30:34
  And I know that, you know, my faith in you was not misplaced when I I continue to encourage
• 30:42
  you to, you know, pursue this podcast.
• 30:46
  And, I love being behind you every step of the way now and getting to watch you grow.
• 30:51
  And, how far you've come, man.
• 30:53
  And just a a real small handful of episodes, 20 something episodes, that's, you know, 10% of
• 30:58
  what I've done in the last eighteen months.
• 31:00
  And I don't say that to brag on what I've done.
• 31:03
  I'm just saying that I don't know that I've seen that amount of growth out of myself like
• 31:08
  like I've seen out of you, and now you're producing stuff in the background.
• 31:12
  You're creating your own thumbnails and just everything.
• 31:15
  You grab the bull by the horns, and you've kind of wrestled it into submission at this point
• 31:20
  into the dirt, and you're really making this thing, your baby, right?
• 31:25
  And you're you're creating something that will last long after we're all gone.
• 31:32
  This beautiful archive of all of these stories, and I know you got your biggest fan that that
• 31:38
  spends time with you every day.
• 31:40
  Your baby girl, I know she loves watching daddy on the big screen and, you know, not not just
• 31:46
  when her favorite episode, which is obviously the one with me and you is on.
• 31:50
  Oh, whatever.
• 31:52
  But no.
• 31:52
  And then how does it get filmed?
• 31:56
  That's the realness of it is, you know and I have episodes, and I think and I've had so many
• 32:01
  people tell me, you're gonna edit that out.
• 32:03
  Right?
• 32:04
  When she comes up and daddy, I need this.
• 32:06
  I said, no.
• 32:07
  I'm not.
• 32:07
  I'm not gonna edit any of this.
• 32:09
  For one, the point of my show is I want people you know, I still go back and watch episode one
• 32:16
  with Bubba where I looked at me now and I was like, thank god I'm not that smuck anymore.
• 32:22
  Okay?
• 32:24
  I'm not saying it as a bad thing, but it shows how evolving is ever changing.
• 32:30
  You know?
• 32:30
  I'm like, one of the great things I love is I asked artists their creative process on how
• 32:36
  they write their music.
• 32:37
  And just to hear the different ways they may have some techniques in there the same, but
• 32:43
  just to hear you know, 24 I actually have 28 episodes out.
• 32:49
  And in them than 28 episodes, I've heard a different twist.
• 32:53
  And, you know, and that amazes me.
• 32:55
  It's just just because the process ain't the same doesn't mean the end end results aren't.
• 33:04
  Yeah.
• 33:05
  It's it's been awesome to watch, and I'm so proud of you, Willie.
• 33:09
  I know we talk every day, and I can't gush on you all the time, but I definitely wanna take
• 33:14
  the time when we're live here on YouTube and, you know, recording this to to post the replay
• 33:20
  next Wednesday as well as we do with all of the episodes of Love Noise.
• 33:24
  That's man, when I say I love you, I truly do.
• 33:27
  I love the man that you're becoming.
• 33:29
  I love the father that you are.
• 33:31
  I love everything about you, Will.
• 33:33
  You've dove into all this.
• 33:34
  You've invested in me.
• 33:36
  You've invested in this company, and, you're a big reason, that I wake up every day, and I am
• 33:42
  as motivated to get out there and to record four episodes a day and to just go for it
• 33:49
  because I I know what we're doing matters.
• 33:52
  And and I know that, you know, all of these episodes and and all of these things that we're
• 33:57
  working on, it counts.
• 34:00
  It's not for nothing.
• 34:01
  And and even though the the financial side hasn't clicked yet, which in little bits it has
• 34:08
  right, you know, catching a 50 on Venmo from Willie the other day was like, Man, maybe this
• 34:13
  thing is starting to make a little bit of money, right?
• 34:16
  And I think we're about to hit that point where the floodgates really open and other people see
• 34:21
  what we're doing and really start to support that, whether it's by going to our Patreon,
• 34:27
  finding the scene projects and contributing a little bit there or, you know, anyway, any
• 34:32
  advertisers and businesses that are in our circle get, get to know us and get to trust us
• 34:39
  and know that that we're here to make your business right.
• 34:43
  You're our baby, too, just like we do with every artist that comes on, and we treat your
• 34:48
  art with that same respect.
• 34:50
  I mean, that's the level of professionalism that we bring to everything we do.
• 34:55
  So, really just thrilled, man.
• 34:57
  I'm so proud of you, Willie.
• 34:59
  And, boo boo, I'm proud of you too, brother.
• 35:01
  You you've worked your butt off even when your Internet sucks and your computer gets stolen
• 35:06
  and we have to buy you one off of Timu.
• 35:08
  The fans, your our fans brought that for you.
• 35:11
  Right?
• 35:11
  Like, we we had to do a fundraiser, and and we had people come out, and I forget the
• 35:16
  gentleman's name now, and I apologize for that.
• 35:18
  But
• 35:19
  Are talking about Kenny?
• 35:21
  One of our fans came
• 35:22
  through and put down, right, and slapped his money on the table and said, man, that's that's
• 35:28
  screwed up.
• 35:29
  That that boo boo stuff got stolen and and dropped $200 down and, you know, was able to
• 35:35
  get at least something that Boo Boo could get back to work, man.
• 35:39
  And now here he is with a a couple of shows on the network.
• 35:44
  Boo Boo, I'm gonna give you the floor and and let you tell us about your shows, man.
• 35:48
  Alright.
• 35:48
  So I got the boo boo project, which, you know, as Bubba put it, I let artists and creatives,
• 35:53
  you know, they come on and I just kinda let them put their soul out there for everyone to
• 35:57
  understand.
• 35:57
  You know, tell their story and, you know, little, you know, weird and odd facts about
• 36:02
  them that you guys don't know that they want you to know and that one's just kind of a lot
• 36:09
  of like your basic interview type of show for creative people to come on and do that.
• 36:14
  I also have Beyond the Bell, which is for the Scene Project Sports Network.
• 36:20
  And that one is independent professional wrestlers.
• 36:24
  So people who haven't made it to the big leagues there and they get to come on and tell
• 36:29
  their stories and how they got started.
• 36:31
  And it's a lot like that, but it's a little more, the language gets a little grittier with
• 36:38
  that one.
• 36:38
  And, I mean, you know, we're dealing with a lot of, like, death match wrestlers and things
• 36:43
  there.
• 36:43
  So there's a lot of, like, people talk about blood and getting cut open and things.
• 36:48
  And then I'm also reviving freestyle freak out, which if you don't know, I interview rappers,
• 36:54
  and then they get to freestyle on my beats for until they decide they're sick of it,
• 36:58
  basically.
• 37:00
  Yeah.
• 37:00
  That's what I have.
• 37:07
  We made it.
• 37:09
  Hey.
• 37:09
  Listen.
• 37:10
  Listen.
• 37:10
  I told him I'm gonna say this so I can say it to your face.
• 37:14
  Listen.
• 37:15
  We can't talk shit on Boo Boo and his team me Wi Fi when you're down for just as long, buddy.
• 37:21
  Oh, dude.
• 37:22
  When you get that money, buy you better Internet, buddy.
• 37:26
  Hey.
• 37:26
  My way down there switched to my phone faster than he got on again.
• 37:30
  Man, it's it's making me sick, man.
• 37:32
  I'm serious.
• 37:33
  I've had this Internet.
• 37:34
  Like, I redone everything.
• 37:36
  Right?
• 37:37
  I got a new router, new modem, everything.
• 37:40
  And this is the first time it's ever done that ever.
• 37:43
  So, I mean, it's been a it's been almost a year, over a year since I got it switched to
• 37:48
  this.
• 37:49
  I I don't know what happened, but I rebooted everything, and it fixed it.
• 37:53
  I mean, we failed right around the same time, so there's that.
• 37:58
  Say again?
• 38:00
  We failed right around the same time with that one.
• 38:06
  I just got back faster.
• 38:09
  Well, let's get this back on track.
• 38:11
  Let's get this about Dalton again because, let's make him back the star of the show.
• 38:19
  Now that he's back, are you back for good this time, buddy?
• 38:22
  I think so.
• 38:24
  Alright.
• 38:24
  Well, this next one you sent me is country nights.
• 38:28
  Yep.
• 38:29
  So, yeah, this one's, so this song is actually one of ours.
• 38:34
  It's out on all the streaming platforms.
• 38:37
  The first one is still in demo.
• 38:38
  We're actually gonna be tracking that one.
• 38:41
  But, yeah, this one's actually on streaming platforms, Spotify, Amazon, all the things.
• 42:31
  That's void.
• 42:40
  Reprise.
• 42:41
  I'm assuming that was starting over there.
• 42:42
  Right, Dalton?
• 42:44
  Yeah.
• 42:44
  It was.
• 42:45
  Oops.
• 42:46
  I dropped the ball on that one.
• 42:48
  That's alright.
• 42:49
  Well, it happened on the last song, so I was kinda prepared for it.
• 42:53
  Brother You kind of missed us gushing about the last song a little bit, but kind of what I said
• 43:00
  about that one.
• 43:02
  Was it kind of it's what I think of like the Leonard Skinner garage tapes, right?
• 43:09
  And,
• 43:09
  and
• 43:09
  you just got such a good country sound to your voice.
• 43:12
  You got that draw.
• 43:14
  But it's rocking, man.
• 43:16
  It's got a lot of energy, and I really appreciate that.
• 43:19
  I'm more of a rock guy.
• 43:19
  I know I'm a member of the Midwest country music organization, and we have some, you know,
• 43:24
  country twang songs, but it's more along the lines of, like, a Marshall Tucker or, you know,
• 43:29
  Charlie Daniels band where it kind of rode that line.
• 43:31
  Yep.
• 43:32
  Right?
• 43:32
  Where it it was country rock, and I know that, you know, now that line is even more blurred
• 43:39
  with guys like a Co Wetzel or or, you know, and a lot of these bands out there, man.
• 43:46
  That is there any, like, are are you planning on redoing any of these songs with your
• 43:52
  producer and kinda working through some of the old stuff too?
• 43:55
  Yeah.
• 43:55
  We're actually gonna so nothing to lose.
• 43:59
  The first song you guys played, that one is gonna be one of the songs we're gonna cut.
• 44:05
  He actually wanted to do that song, Country Nights, we just listened to.
• 44:10
  But I've got one other one that I I just love.
• 44:13
  And so we're gonna do it.
• 44:16
  My goal is with this EP, we're gonna do three songs to start off with, and they're all three
• 44:21
  gonna be a little different.
• 44:23
  So I I what I wanna do is kinda showcase, you know, this is my variety.
• 44:30
  Right?
• 44:30
  You know?
• 44:31
  So one of them is kind of a little bit slower, kinda buildup, tear jerking type song.
• 44:37
  I've got a a kind of a happy, fun, love song that I think Willie's might play here in a
• 44:43
  minute that I wrote about my wife.
• 44:46
  And so yeah.
• 44:47
  So I I just yes.
• 44:49
  I I have country rock roots to my core.
• 44:52
  I love southern rock.
• 44:53
  Grew up on Skynyrd.
• 44:54
  Grew up on, Hank and Charlie Daniels and all that stuff.
• 44:59
  My lead guitarist with the band that I was playing with when we track these songs, he
• 45:04
  plays with the exact same setup as Leonard Skynyrd.
• 45:07
  He runs the old tube amp.
• 45:08
  He's got a layover mic.
• 45:10
  Like, it's literally, like, almost to the tee what Skynyrd ran.
• 45:14
  So
• 45:15
  That's funny because you weren't here when we went over that song, and that was the first
• 45:19
  thing I said is that, like, this is what I think the, like, the garage tapes of Skynyrd
• 45:23
  sounded like.
• 45:24
  Right?
• 45:25
  And and and you're right.
• 45:26
  I and I appreciate that you kinda brought it up because nothing to lose in country nights are a
• 45:31
  similar vibe.
• 45:32
  Right?
• 45:32
  They're obviously not the same song, but a very similar vibe where it's not necessarily
• 45:37
  showcasing the different sides of Dalton Jones.
• 45:40
  So I love that you're kind of bringing that to you know, you you're thinking well ahead of it.
• 45:45
  It's not just I'm bringing out my songs, and I'm gonna record them.
• 45:48
  It's no.
• 45:49
  I wanna showcase the the breadth of what I can do, right, and kinda show that.
• 45:54
  If I'm only gonna get these three songs to swing first, like, let let me give everyone a
• 45:59
  little taste of everything, and then you can come back and and rework some of this stuff
• 46:03
  back in and be able to take people a little deeper down those veins, man.
• 46:08
  I think that's a great, great business move on yours on your part.
• 46:13
  I appreciate it.
• 46:13
  Yeah.
• 46:14
  That you know, I try to be thought out.
• 46:18
  And, you know, like I said, a lot of these songs, I I really threw them out there the best
• 46:23
  I could into, like, a demo version just just to get something out there.
• 46:27
  And I, you know, I pitched it to producers and other folks.
• 46:31
  And fortunately enough, you know, I I talked with the producer I'm working with now, and he
• 46:37
  loved what I was doing and said, hey, let's track some songs.
• 46:40
  So we're gonna we're gonna get these these first three tracked.
• 46:44
  And then like I said, you know, my hope is that things take off and we can go ahead and cut the
• 46:50
  whole album because that's what I wanna do is I wanna put a whole whole album out there.
• 46:54
  I've gotta I've got nine songs put together right now, and I've got well, actually, I have
• 47:00
  10 songs now because I just wrote another one, but, I'm working on, three other songs that I
• 47:06
  kinda got started on, but I just haven't finished yet.
• 47:08
  So got a lot in the works.
• 47:11
  Hey, buddy.
• 47:12
  I'm gonna have to hold you to that 16 you owe because of that TikTok live.
• 47:15
  Okay?
• 47:16
  Yeah.
• 47:16
  Oh, man.
• 47:18
  That was a mistake.
• 47:19
  I will tell you this.
• 47:21
  Did we tell you did you guys hear that story?
• 47:25
  No.
• 47:26
  Oh my gosh.
• 47:27
  So we I went live on TikTok, and this is literally, like, maybe the third time I've ever
• 47:32
  gone live on TikTok.
• 47:33
  And that was when Willie found me.
• 47:35
  And I was playing and and I had these little list on the left side of my screen.
• 47:41
  It was like, alright.
• 47:42
  If I get a thousand, you know, parts, I'll do this.
• 47:46
  If I get 5,000, I'll do this.
• 47:48
  10,000, I'll do this.
• 47:50
  Right?
• 47:51
  Well, I think it was 10,000.
• 47:54
  And if I get 10,000 hearts, I will write a song.
• 47:57
  Right?
• 47:59
  Well, I didn't really think that through.
• 48:02
  And so I got over 200,000 hearts on this TikTok.
• 48:07
  And I was like
• 48:08
  Only only more than 20.
• 48:10
  They're trying to make me freaking be Morgan Wallen with 30 on an on an album.
• 48:17
  Guys.
• 48:18
  You know?
• 48:19
  Well,
• 48:19
  you didn't say I'm gonna write a song for every 10,000 hearts that I get.
• 48:23
  You just said if I get 10, I'm gonna write a song.
• 48:26
  So they went No.
• 48:27
  No.
• 48:27
  It did say it did say for each this amount, he would write a new song.
• 48:32
  5,000, it would he would learn a new cover.
• 48:35
  Yeah.
• 48:36
  So I learned I did learn a bunch of songs on that livestream too.
• 48:40
  Like, dude, I I'm serious.
• 48:41
  I'd break my guitar out, and I'm like, what do you want me to learn?
• 48:44
  Somebody was like, paint me a Birmingham.
• 48:46
  So I pull up, you know, Tracy Lawrence, paint paint me a Birmingham, learn it right there
• 48:49
  live on the stream.
• 48:51
  So, you know, it was fun.
• 48:52
  It was a good time.
• 48:53
  And that's actually what I said about that first song, nothing to lose because that was
• 48:57
  one of the ones you played that night acoustically.
• 48:59
  Yep.
• 49:00
  And I said, you know, that is such a different put together when you hear it completely
• 49:06
  acoustic because that's what I heard.
• 49:08
  You know?
• 49:09
  Right.
• 49:11
  Yeah.
• 49:11
  It's a you know, I put it together as an acoustic version at first and which made all
• 49:18
  the songs I did, but, yeah, that one, they actually released it as an acoustic version on
• 49:23
  all the streaming platforms first.
• 49:26
  And everybody loved it.
• 49:27
  Everybody thought it was, you know, a good song.
• 49:29
  And that one, you know, my mixing is not great, so I know they're kinda it's kinda like
• 49:34
  everything's crazy, and and some of them, the mix isn't great.
• 49:37
  But, I'm a tell you guys, you you at the end of the show, when you get to hear the new one,
• 49:43
  you're gonna be just gonna knock your freaking socks off.
• 49:45
  I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you.
• 49:47
  Like, for fair warning.
• 49:54
  I I think it's great, man.
• 49:57
  I love that you produced all these things yourself.
• 50:00
  I I love that this journey of yours has been so such a short trip.
• 50:05
  I mean, I know you've been playing music, and you've been writing songs for a while, but just
• 50:10
  this really stepping out and doing it, and the the praise isn't misplaced.
• 50:18
  Right?
• 50:18
  Like, you you got a great voice.
• 50:21
  You're not afraid to lay it out there for people.
• 50:23
  I love the TikTok story.
• 50:25
  Right?
• 50:25
  Just going out there and being willing to do that.
• 50:29
  That's gonna endear so many people to you.
• 50:31
  And, what was your following like before?
• 50:33
  You said it was like the third time you went live on TikTok ever.
• 50:36
  Like, what was that experience?
• 50:37
  You know?
• 50:38
  Like, not a huge following.
• 50:39
  It just went live and started doing it.
• 50:41
  Yeah.
• 50:42
  I mean, it it was so the the most I think the most interactions I had had on a livestream on
• 50:50
  TikTok before that was, like, 10,000, which is a good bit, but I was never difference between
• 50:58
  10 between 10 k and 300 k.
• 51:01
  Dude, when it goes from saying, like, one k on the video to saying point zero one m, like, I
• 51:10
  was like, mind blown, dude.
• 51:13
  I was like, holy crap, guys.
• 51:14
  And I think, Willie, you might have been there when I was losing my mind.
• 51:17
  I was like, guys, it says m now.
• 51:19
  It doesn't say k anymore.
• 51:21
  And I was just losing my mind.
• 51:22
  Like, it was it was awesome.
• 51:24
  Yeah.
• 51:24
  And I But I told them earlier.
• 51:27
  That was supposed to be a thirty minute hop in, and next thing I know, it was a six hour
• 51:31
  session.
• 51:33
  I'd, yeah, got yeah.
• 51:35
  Seriously, that livestream was six hours long.
• 51:37
  I took one pee break, guys.
• 51:39
  Chugging lemon juice like it was going out of style.
• 51:42
  I drank a
• 51:43
  whole man help.
• 51:45
  A whole freaking bottle of lemon juice.
• 51:47
  No no lie.
• 51:48
  I drank a whole bottle of it.
• 51:51
  Straight just straight lemon juice, uncut.
• 51:54
  I got a commenter that's that's on our, Facebook our our Facebook page, Nicole.
• 51:59
  Shout out to Nicole Spoden.
• 52:01
  She said to tell Dalton Jones he's amazing.
• 52:04
  So
• 52:05
  Thank you.
• 52:06
  Little can you give her a little shout out to Nicole Dalton?
• 52:09
  Nicole, thank you so much.
• 52:11
  Thank you so much.
• 52:12
  We really appreciate it.
• 52:13
  And, I I tell you, it's I I just love it when people
• 52:22
  There you go.
• 52:23
  Shout out to Nicole.
• 52:24
  Thank you.
• 52:25
  She's she's lighting up the hearts on my Facebook stream right now.
• 52:30
  Did we did we freeze up and lose Dalton again?
• 52:33
  That's because did.
• 52:36
  We broke his honor again, Nicole.
• 52:38
  Look at that.
• 52:39
  And, of course, we got Renee over here that says, she got Jason Aldean vibes from that last
• 52:45
  song.
• 52:46
  Yeah.
• 52:47
  Yeah.
• 52:47
  I I feel that.
• 52:48
  We're gonna pull Dalton off here, see if we can get that back.
• 52:51
  We're gonna throw Renee's comment up there.
• 52:55
  Renee, we we always appreciate you tapping in and dropping the comments.
• 53:00
  For sure.
• 53:01
  I definitely hear that Jason Aldine in there.
• 53:04
  He's got that country boy sound.
• 53:06
  Right?
• 53:06
  He he's got that, and that rock vibe to it.
• 53:09
  Right?
• 53:09
  That energy that, I I think it's it's got such a big place in country music right now.
• 53:17
  It's not all about the twang anymore with country music.
• 53:20
  It's changed so much.
• 53:21
  And I think that's because of the hole that's left, because rock music has gone so heavy and
• 53:27
  like so towards that that very heavy side that, it left this big hole where kind of like
• 53:34
  classic rock music used to be bands like Marshall Tucker and Skynyrd and all of these
• 53:40
  bands that while a lot of us grew up with, Right?
• 53:43
  You you don't have that sound in rock music anymore.
• 53:47
  You have it in country music.
• 53:49
  So, yeah, look at we had another commenter saying it gave her Jason Aldine vibes there,
• 53:56
  Dalton.
• 53:56
  What do you what do you think about that?
• 54:03
  I think he froze again.
• 54:05
  He froze immediately.
• 54:07
  I didn't add the stage.
• 54:08
  Dalton freezes.
• 54:12
  I swear I never talk badly about you again.
• 54:17
  The Internet.
• 54:21
  I don't I don't.
• 54:27
  Are we all talking pee pain right now?
• 54:30
  Or is it just me?
• 54:32
  Thank God it didn't do this on his TikTok livestream.
• 54:35
  Right?
• 54:37
  Well, Dalton, I think, I think we're gonna take this moment to, just play play the next track
• 54:42
  that you got.
• 54:43
  We're gonna listen to it while you get your stuff figured out there.
• 54:47
  And we appreciate everybody tuning in, dropping us comments in here, and thank you all so much.
• 54:54
  Nicole's still lighting up the hearts on my personal Facebook page.
• 54:57
  We appreciate you, Nicole.
• 54:59
  Thanks for tapping in.
• 55:01
  Make sure you're checking out the show on the scene projects page too, and you can come in
• 55:06

• 55:09
  So
• 55:10
  This this next one is the love song he wrote for his wife that he was talking about earlier.
• 55:17
  It's called, she's what the lord gave me.
• 55:22
  We'll play it while we wait for him to come back.
• 1:00:18
  Alright.
• 1:00:19
  So I'm going with myself first.
• 1:00:21
  Color in the world.
• 1:00:22
  Well, next to Dalton.
• 1:00:23
  Dalton spelled his own name wrong.
• 1:00:24
  That's hilarious.
• 1:00:26
  Did I?
• 1:00:28
  Wait.
• 1:00:28
  Did I miss that?
• 1:00:30
  What did I miss?
• 1:00:31
  How what did I miss, really?
• 1:00:33
  Well, it's she's what the lord gave me.
• 1:00:36
  You have up there she what's the lord gave by No.
• 1:00:40
  My bad.
• 1:00:41
  My bad.
• 1:00:42
  See, that's why you should have previewed it, Bubba.
• 1:00:47
  You know, the the interest don't check everything.
• 1:00:49
  Willie does for now.
• 1:00:50
  I fucking love you southern boys, man.
• 1:00:53
  That a system.
• 1:00:55
  The farther you get down, it just
• 1:00:57
  That's why I use ChatGPT for everything.
• 1:01:01
  Okay?
• 1:01:02
  I love
• 1:01:03
  this show, man.
• 1:01:05
  Gotta write an email.
• 1:01:06
  ChatGPT make this email for me.
• 1:01:10
  That's hilarious.
• 1:01:11
  That is hilarious.
• 1:01:14
  Hey.
• 1:01:15
  We were asked why you were gone.
• 1:01:17
  Yep.
• 1:01:18
  They wanna know, did Boo Boo give you his Wi Fi?
• 1:01:23
  No.
• 1:01:24
  Uh-uh.
• 1:01:25
  Oh, man.
• 1:01:26
  I I do listen.
• 1:01:28
  I'm not saying anything else about boo boo's Wi Fi because I jinxed my own Wi Fi.
• 1:01:35
  You know, I'll be honest.
• 1:01:36
  So so to be honest with you, I'm almost positive.
• 1:01:39
  I know what the problem is, but it's in it's too much detail to go into.
• 1:01:45
  But long story short, AT and T sucks, and their backbone runs everything, every Internet
• 1:01:52
  company on the face of the planet.
• 1:01:53
  I know that because I used to work there, and they're having a lot of network issues here in
• 1:01:57
  the South.
• 1:01:58
  So I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
• 1:02:02
  Oh, man.
• 1:02:03
  I love doing this show live.
• 1:02:06
  I don't.
• 1:02:06
  You make fun of me.
• 1:02:07
  You never know what's gonna happen, man.
• 1:02:09
  It's like That's
• 1:02:09
  the best quarter, Willie.
• 1:02:11
  We we gotta fire Willie from anything that requires him to spell.
• 1:02:16
  That's right.
• 1:02:17
  Hey.
• 1:02:17
  You can't fire me.
• 1:02:18
  Quit.
• 1:02:19
  I quit.
• 1:02:20
  You better not quit.
• 1:02:22
  You're the backbone of this show.
• 1:02:24
  Oh my goodness.
• 1:02:26
  Man.
• 1:02:27
  Great song.
• 1:02:28
  Big song for your birthday.
• 1:02:30
  I don't care I don't care what Willie calls it, Dalton.
• 1:02:32
  I thought it was a great song.
• 1:02:34
  Phone now.
• 1:02:36
  It's doing it on my cell phone now.
• 1:02:38
  You're number one.
• 1:02:39
  That's they just don't want you to get famous.
• 1:02:42
  That's what it is.
• 1:02:44
  Dude, I'm telling you.
• 1:02:45
  I'm 100%.
• 1:02:46
  I know without us because I have an AT and T cell phone.
• 1:02:49
  I guarantee you they're probably doing some kind of conversion over here in the central
• 1:02:53
  office and moving switch connections, and it knocks things out for, like, ten, fifteen
• 1:02:58
  minutes.
• 1:02:59
  And they just so happen to do it at freaking 10:00 on Wednesday because nobody's got
• 1:03:05
  anything going on.
• 1:03:06
  Except us.
• 1:03:08
  It was so insane.
• 1:03:10
  Yeah.
• 1:03:11
  Oh,
• 1:03:12
  man.
• 1:03:13
  No, dude.
• 1:03:14
  I I I like that.
• 1:03:15
  So is that one of the ones that you're you're taking into the studio there?
• 1:03:20
  So that's not gonna be one of the first ones, but we will be.
• 1:03:23
  So I just I actually just wrote that song.
• 1:03:27
  It's it's probably less than a month and a half old.
• 1:03:32
  It's fresh.
• 1:03:33
  Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  It's fresh.
• 1:03:35
  So, yeah, I wrote that about my wife, man.
• 1:03:37
  We had a I had when I first started playing, I told my wife well, it's actually a couple years
• 1:03:43
  ago.
• 1:03:44
  I said, I'm gonna write a song about you before I started playing out and started writing it
• 1:03:49
  and then never finished.
• 1:03:50
  And she just said one day, hey.
• 1:03:52
  You never finished writing that song about me.
• 1:03:54
  And I said, you're right.
• 1:03:55
  And so I sat down and it is completely different than what it was originally gonna be,
• 1:04:01
  like the song I was originally gonna write.
• 1:04:03
  So the original song was kind of a more sappy set, you know, not sad, but like a sappy love
• 1:04:09
  song.
• 1:04:10
  And that one's not really to me, it's more like upbeat and kinda fun.
• 1:04:14
  You
• 1:04:14
  know?
• 1:04:15
  Oh,
• 1:04:17
  we don't have an award for this, but Renee wins comment of the night.
• 1:04:24
  Yo.
• 1:04:26
  Hey.
• 1:04:28
  How about you just bring you with the alphabet book, and I'll take both.
• 1:04:32
  Okay?
• 1:04:36
  I know her personally.
• 1:04:37
  I promise I'm not telling some random chick.
• 1:04:40
  Alright.
• 1:04:40
  We got the greatest fans in the world on this show.
• 1:04:44
  I'm not picking up on some random woman on YouTube.
• 1:04:47
  I promise I know her personally.
• 1:04:50
  Are you sure, Willie?
• 1:04:51
  We wouldn't put it past you anyway, Willie.
• 1:04:53
  Hey.
• 1:04:54
  Listen.
• 1:04:54
  I have
• 1:04:55
  no game.
• 1:04:55
  I have no game.
• 1:04:57
  Okay?
• 1:04:58
  Oh.
• 1:04:58
  I'm pretty sure my three year old has more game when I than I do.
• 1:05:02
  Okay?
• 1:05:03
  He ain't three yet.
• 1:05:04
  I that birthday's coming soon, but she
• 1:05:06
  is Sunday.
• 1:05:08
  She might as well be three.
• 1:05:09
  It's Sunday.
• 1:05:10
  Man, it's been so beautiful getting to watch, getting to watch your daughter grow up, right
• 1:05:17
  before my eye.
• 1:05:17
  She talks so well for two years old, man.
• 1:05:19
  She has conversations with me on the phone, and she tells me exactly how it's gonna be, man.
• 1:05:24
  So anytime you need to know who's the boss around Willie,
• 1:05:30
  Hey.
• 1:05:31
  She's talked to Dalton too.
• 1:05:33
  Dalton called me one day talking about, the show and all everything, and we were talking
• 1:05:38
  some other details over.
• 1:05:40
  And Shyanne comes up and says, who's that?
• 1:05:43
  I said, someone for the podcast.
• 1:05:44
  Oh, they're for the podcast?
• 1:05:46
  I wanna say hi.
• 1:05:51
  Look.
• 1:05:51
  Now we see two Daltons in the
• 1:05:53
  Do we bring them do we dare bring them both in?
• 1:05:57
  Yeah.
• 1:05:57
  Woah.
• 1:05:58
  Oh.
• 1:05:59
  Oh.
• 1:06:00
  Oh.
• 1:06:05
  It's too big.
• 1:06:06
  It's like, wait.
• 1:06:08
  There's two dolphins.
• 1:06:09
  Double dolphins.
• 1:06:10
  It's like
• 1:06:11
  it's like the it's like the spider.
• 1:06:19
  Oh,
• 1:06:21
  Man, so much fun.
• 1:06:24
  I am so glad.
• 1:06:26
  So what's crazy, Dalton, is that this was like one of the first ideas I had for a show.
• 1:06:33
  When I started my podcast back in, like, April.
• 1:06:38
  It was immediately where I was like, man, I wanna feature all these artists songs that I
• 1:06:42
  have and do, like, a little reaction.
• 1:06:44
  And I recorded a few with with my friend in his home studio with with him kinda as my cohost.
• 1:06:49
  And it went over great, but it was just it was hard to find, people that I wanted to kind of
• 1:06:54
  do the show with.
• 1:06:55
  Right?
• 1:06:56
  And I was just I was gone a lot, and it was hard to get me settled down.
• 1:07:00
  And now having, you know, Willie and Boo Boo around me all the time.
• 1:07:06
  We're always talking on the Internet, right?
• 1:07:08
  Like we're all we're on zoom or we're on this or something where, it finally came down to
• 1:07:14
  where I was kind of off the road, and my wife started working the bowling alley again, and
• 1:07:18
  she works on Wednesday nights.
• 1:07:20
  So I just I'm kind of sitting here twiddling my thumbs anyway.
• 1:07:23
  So I've turned that into like our our Momo meetups are Midwest Original music
• 1:07:27
  organization.
• 1:07:28
  We meet every Sunday at seven, and it's just kind of a networking hang not much different
• 1:07:33
  than this, right?
• 1:07:34
  It's kind of the same concept.
• 1:07:36
  Get together with with other musicians and people.
• 1:07:40
  You know, talk about what you're going through.
• 1:07:41
  We get to share a lot of what we're doing because it's hard for everyone to see it.
• 1:07:46
  Right?
• 1:07:46
  Like, everybody's so busy, and social media is so hit and miss that, if you're not connecting
• 1:07:52
  with people on a personal level, like you just don't know what somebody's up to.
• 1:07:56
  Right And that's why I love doing the podcast is because even if I follow someone, I don't
• 1:08:02
  know everything that's going on in the last few months since we talked so really, know, you
• 1:08:06
  just because you've been a guest on the podcast once or, you know, twice or three times on the
• 1:08:11
  network in one week, it doesn't mean that we don't want to talk to you two or three months
• 1:08:15
  down the road because everybody's careers are changing so fast.
• 1:08:19
  And Right.
• 1:08:20
  You know, especially somebody like you that is fresh to the scene.
• 1:08:23
  You're just really starting to play out.
• 1:08:25
  You're just getting in the studio working with big name producers.
• 1:08:29
  I mean, this guy's got connections to a lot of heavy hitters in the industry that he can pass
• 1:08:34
  these songs off.
• 1:08:35
  And because he's working on them with you, he's putting his blood, sweat, and tears into it as
• 1:08:39
  well that if he's proud enough of it and thinks it's got a chance, he's gonna hand it into some
• 1:08:44
  people that are gonna be like, hey, man.
• 1:08:46
  Listen to this one that I just did.
• 1:08:47
  What do you think of this?
• 1:08:48
  And you never know what those opportunities are going to lead to man.
• 1:08:52
  So we're thrilled to get to hang with you and, to get to be a little part of your career and
• 1:08:59
  hopefully get to meet you in May if we can get you up to Missouri for a big show that me and
• 1:09:04
  Willie are are working on.
• 1:09:06
  And, man, I I just I just I love this show more and more the longer that we do it.
• 1:09:13
  Like and it's been three weeks.
• 1:09:16
  Right.
• 1:09:18
  Actually, he's our first guest that isn't related to the network, really.
• 1:09:23
  Yeah.
• 1:09:23
  He's practically related at this point, man.
• 1:09:25
  I've spent more time with him than I have with my kids the last day and a half.
• 1:09:29
  Well, this is true.
• 1:09:30
  I talked to him on Messenger a lot.
• 1:09:34
  Yeah.
• 1:09:34
  It's, you know, well, you
• 1:09:35
  know,
• 1:09:35
  it's it's it's kinda a similar thing, and I think, you know, Bubba, you and I talked about
• 1:09:41
  it on your show yesterday, but, you know, the it's it's like the guys down here that I I did
• 1:09:48
  the podcast with that they're they're kind of doing a similar thing, you know, with trying to
• 1:09:54
  support local independent artists and you know, it's kind of one of those things like they're
• 1:10:00
  trying to help the artist grow and they're trying to grow what they're doing at the same
• 1:10:04
  time.
• 1:10:04
  It's kind of like a you scratch my back, I scratch your kind of thing and you know, I I've
• 1:10:10
  ever since I came into this space and I found that unfortunately, there's a lot of musicians
• 1:10:17
  that look at it like a competition.
• 1:10:19
  And to me, it's like, dude, I don't care.
• 1:10:23
  Like, and not that I don't care but I don't because it's it's not a competition.
• 1:10:28
  I want all musicians to have success and you know, it's just like on Facebook and stuff.
• 1:10:34
  I've got musicians that I've made friends with that I share their stuff or it's like, hey,
• 1:10:41
  I'll have a venue.
• 1:10:41
  Call me up and they're like, hey, Dalton.
• 1:10:43
  I need you to, can you do this show for me?
• 1:10:45
  I had a cancellation.
• 1:10:46
  No, I didn't but hey, I know somebody that will.
• 1:10:48
  Let me call em real quick and so, you know, I call and and plug in some of my friends that
• 1:10:53
  are musicians.
• 1:10:54
  So, you know, I just think that it's it's it's not, it's almost like a fraternity but at the
• 1:11:02
  same time, it's like some people in the fraternity want to help each other out and then
• 1:11:06
  some don't which I think that's with anything, honestly, but I I just I I like helping people
• 1:11:12
  and want to be a support mechanism to people.
• 1:11:15
  So, when I meet folks like you guys and what you're doing, it just, it's, it's really
• 1:11:20
  awesome to see that, and I'm always a 100% forward being a part of anything like that.
• 1:11:25
  Even if Is that a Dalton Jones hat?
• 1:11:29
  It is.
• 1:11:29
  Well, it says Jones in on it.
• 1:11:32
  Yeah.
• 1:11:32
  I'm gonna need one of those.
• 1:11:35
  We hey.
• 1:11:35
  Can I get one of those?
• 1:11:37
  Yeah.
• 1:11:38
  So we have a, we actually have a merchandise, website.
• 1:11:42
  It's it's, so the it's gonna be, I'll drop it in the chat for you guys if one of y'all wants
• 1:11:49
  to put
• 1:11:49
  it up.
• 1:11:49
  Copy and paste it in the banner, man.
• 1:11:51
  We got you.
• 1:11:53
  I think I can handle a copy and paste.
• 1:11:55
  I ain't gotta spell anything.
• 1:11:58
  I wasn't gonna say anything but.
• 1:12:02
  Mean Who who was?
• 1:12:04
  I think that's it.
• 1:12:05
  You already knew.
• 1:12:07
  Hey.
• 1:12:07
  With a name like boo boo that falls off a bike, I think I can handle it.
• 1:12:11
  He didn't just fall off, dude.
• 1:12:13
  He's gone face first off of that thing a couple of times.
• 1:12:17
  So wait is boo boo a biker name?
• 1:12:19
  First one time Bubba.
• 1:12:22
  One time.
• 1:12:23
  You sound like a vroom vroom bike like a pedal bike Dalton.
• 1:12:27
  Oh well, I was gonna say I I have a I my biker name used to be Tumbleweed.
• 1:12:36
  That was my biker name.
• 1:12:37
  Yeah.
• 1:12:37
  And it's primarily because I had a I I wrecked my bike, and I flipped my car and totaled it
• 1:12:45
  all within the span of like two weeks.
• 1:12:49
  And You're comfortable.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah.
• 1:12:51
  Yeah.
• 1:12:51
  And so we had this lady that rode with us.
• 1:12:54
  We all called her mama.
• 1:12:56
  She was just the most phenomenal person.
• 1:12:58
  And we go I go to this this bonfire, cookout, whatever you want to call it.
• 1:13:03
  I get there and I had just had the wreck on my bike.
• 1:13:07
  It wasn't bad.
• 1:13:07
  I just kind of dropped it.
• 1:13:09
  And she goes, you're tumbleweed.
• 1:13:12
  And it was kinda bestowed upon me.
• 1:13:13
  It's almost like I was knighted into it.
• 1:13:15
  So there you go.
• 1:13:16
  There's the there's my story about my biker days.
• 1:13:19
  That's awesome.
• 1:13:19
  Well, as a biker, I I grew up in Deadwood, South Dakota, right down the road from Sturgis.
• 1:13:25
  I was just out during the rally.
• 1:13:27
  I was out at the Buffalo Chip Campground ten days in a row, man, tearing it up and capturing
• 1:13:33
  content, and I love that.
• 1:13:35
  I love the fraternity.
• 1:13:36
  You talk about fraternities, right?
• 1:13:38
  And the brotherhood of bikers, collectively, and you know, obviously, you have a lot of
• 1:13:44
  clubs and different things.
• 1:13:45
  And you know, they get the reputation for fighting all the time.
• 1:13:49
  But I think, you hit on something there that it's a It's a family man.
• 1:13:54
  If you're on a bike, you mean something to somebody, and they don't have to know you.
• 1:14:00
  They don't have to know a thing about you to know that you're a brother or you're a sister.
• 1:14:05
  And that's what, you know, I'm not a biker myself.
• 1:14:09
  Not necessarily.
• 1:14:09
  Know, my dad wasn't really in that thing.
• 1:14:11
  We just wanted to live in the woods, but to grow up in that environment and to see it.
• 1:14:17
  And at one point, I thought I might get a motorcycle.
• 1:14:20
  Thank God I didn't when I was in my twenties, because I would have laid it on his side who
• 1:14:23
  knows how many times and probably not made it to this point in my life.
• 1:14:26
  And now my wife's like, yeah.
• 1:14:27
  No.
• 1:14:28
  You're never getting a motorcycle.
• 1:14:31
  That's okay.
• 1:14:32
  I appreciate her.
• 1:14:33
  I appreciate
• 1:14:34
  her for that.
• 1:14:35
  I want one.
• 1:14:36
  I ain't gonna lie.
• 1:14:38
  I want one too.
• 1:14:39
  I just gotta wait till, Shanann's a little older.
• 1:14:43
  I
• 1:14:44
  will tell you, you know, I I've still got mine.
• 1:14:49
  It doesn't run.
• 1:14:49
  It's sitting in my shop collecting dust right now as we speak.
• 1:14:53
  But you know, it it is it like you said, I mean, it really is kind of like a fraternity as
• 1:14:59
  well and you know, I met some of the most amazing people and a lot of people don't know
• 1:15:04
  it but you know, but bikers and motorcy cycles are one of the most giving groups of people on
• 1:15:10
  the planet.
• 1:15:11
  Like, they donate so much money and raise so much money for just great causes.
• 1:15:16
  I actually got to be a part of a a charity concert with one of our local emcees here and
• 1:15:23
  they were raising money for this little girl that had a brain tumor, and she just had
• 1:15:26
  surgery.
• 1:15:27
  Well, that tumor has come back now, and so she just started chemotherapy.
• 1:15:32
  Today was her first treatment.
• 1:15:34
  Shout out to Brendle.
• 1:15:35
  But she is, she's fighting the good fight, but, we, we did that, presentation for her and, or
• 1:15:44
  did that that show for her and now we're, trying to get something going again.
• 1:15:50
  Awesome, Dalton.
• 1:15:51
  We dropped boo boo, so that's a great time for us to cut to some more music.
• 1:15:55
  You you sent in a clip of some stuff that you were working on today.
• 1:16:00
  Yeah.
• 1:16:01
  We want to we wanna showcase some of this new stuff and to really get to to see what the
• 1:16:08
  future of Dalton Jones music is gonna be.
• 1:16:12
  What's what's the name of the track?
• 1:16:14
  I'll type this one up.
• 1:16:15
  Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  I got you with
• 1:16:16
  it.
• 1:16:16
  Yes.
• 1:16:17
  So so this one, of course, it's not.
• 1:16:19
  It's unreleased, but this is right here in the South.
• 1:16:23
  I got it right.
• 1:16:25
  And it's it's it's a brand new song.
• 1:16:29
  We just just wrote it not but a cup maybe a month or so ago.
• 1:16:33
  And I tell you, I I if I I've released music already, but I would really like to call this
• 1:16:40
  my debut single.
• 1:16:42
  And I I I think it just it has that attitude, that that vibe that I'm going for.
• 1:16:49
  And, I can tell you, man, the producer, he nailed it today, when we did the song.
• 1:16:54
  And, like I said, this is just a little clip.
• 1:16:58
  It's not finished yet.
• 1:16:59
  They still we still got a master and everything else.
• 1:17:01
  So this is just a mix, But his mix is as good as a lot of people's masters.
• 1:17:07
  So just enjoy it.
• 1:17:47
  That might be the end of it.
• 1:17:48
  I think it was only, like, forty five seconds.
• 1:17:50
  Yeah.
• 1:17:50
  That is the end of it.
• 1:17:52
  Yeah.
• 1:17:52
  But, man, it's easy to yeah.
• 1:17:56
  Night and day difference between the self produced stuff.
• 1:17:59
  Right?
• 1:18:00
  Yeah.
• 1:18:01
  Yeah.
• 1:18:01
  That's that's what a guy that works in Nashville with major artists.
• 1:18:06
  That's what that's what it they'll do for you.
• 1:18:08
  Is that you playing the guitar parts, the all the guitar parts on that, or is that a band of
• 1:18:12
  yours or studio musicians?
• 1:18:14
  What's that?
• 1:18:16
  Dude, so that was the engineer.
• 1:18:20
  All of it.
• 1:18:21
  He cut the entire track today in the studio, like, on the spot.
• 1:18:27
  Like, I I
• 1:18:28
  get in there
• 1:18:28
  this morning.
• 1:18:29
  I told him, I said, dude, he said, what song are you wanting to do?
• 1:18:33
  I told him.
• 1:18:33
  He said, alright.
• 1:18:34
  I'm pulling the demo up because he had all my demo tracks for all the music I've done.
• 1:18:39
  And he said, alright.
• 1:18:40
  I'm pulling the demo track up so he listens to it.
• 1:18:43
  Immediately starts cutting the track, dude.
• 1:18:45
  And when I say he did everything, he did the keys.
• 1:18:48
  He did the acoustic guitar.
• 1:18:50
  He did the electric guitar, the bass, the drums, everything right there on the spot.
• 1:18:55
  Like, by 12:00 today, I think, or, like, one of 01:00.
• 1:18:59
  He had the track was done.
• 1:19:01
  Like, it was cut, ready
• 1:19:02
  to go.
• 1:19:02
  Was he playing the physical instruments, or
• 1:19:05
  is this Oh,
• 1:19:06
  Oh, so he just he's making the song physically in the studio in front of your eyes, and all
• 1:19:12
  you have to do is go in there and sing.
• 1:19:14
  Yeah.
• 1:19:15
  Dude, you
• 1:19:16
  What a guy.
• 1:19:16
  I'm driving from
• 1:19:18
  Freaking talented, man.
• 1:19:20
  I'm telling you, he is stupid talented.
• 1:19:23
  And, like, I'm sitting there, dude.
• 1:19:26
  He's got this, like his studio is, like, the perfect studio vibe.
• 1:19:30
  I mean, he's got this couch that you sit down in.
• 1:19:32
  It, like, just envelops you as you sit down on it.
• 1:19:34
  And like, I'm just sitting there and I'm just like posted up like this the whole time and
• 1:19:40
  like every time he turns around, he's he's he's got a guy that he's training to help him in the
• 1:19:44
  studio and he looks over there at me and I'm just like, I'm like, I'm I'm giddy, man.
• 1:19:48
  I'm losing my mind And every time he would turn around and look at me, I'm like, he finally
• 1:19:54
  said, you like that?
• 1:19:55
  I said, dude, it's badass.
• 1:19:58
  This is it's badass.
• 1:20:00
  That was the only way I could put it.
• 1:20:02
  So what did he build any of this stuff beforehand, or was this he was going and, like,
• 1:20:07
  I'm gonna track the drums.
• 1:20:08
  Okay.
• 1:20:08
  Now I'm gonna go back, and I'm gonna track the guitar.
• 1:20:10
  Oh, no.
• 1:20:11
  So you're just literally watching him change instruments around, switch it all up, and build
• 1:20:16
  your song.
• 1:20:17
  Sounds freaking incredible, man.
• 1:20:19
  Yep.
• 1:20:19
  It will.
• 1:20:20
  And the great thing about it is, you know, of course, he didn't play the physical physical
• 1:20:24
  drums, so he he actually tracked all of his own drum samples.
• 1:20:28
  So, like, he he brought his drum set in there and created his his drum kit in samples and so
• 1:20:35
  that's how he made the drum beat but everything else, man, he actually played the acoustic
• 1:20:41
  guitar.
• 1:20:41
  He played the electric guitar and like the whole, he goes through the whole process with
• 1:20:44
  you and he's sitting there and he's like, do you like this?
• 1:20:48
  Or do you would you rather he and he he would give me options.
• 1:20:51
  He's like he he play this.
• 1:20:53
  He's like you like that or we can do this.
• 1:20:55
  Hold on.
• 1:20:56
  I'm just like it all sounds great.
• 1:20:59
  I don't even know what to pick and like it.
• 1:21:03
  The funny thing, I think the funniest thing and I think I can share this with you guys.
• 1:21:07
  Funniest thing throughout the whole day is originally we were looking at kicking off some
• 1:21:12
  like really awesome, just nasty like slide guitar in that song.
• 1:21:18
  And he's like, I'll be honest with you, I'm not the best slide player.
• 1:21:22
  And he was like, but he started playing without the slide, and he he does this little lick, and
• 1:21:27
  then he hits a solo real quick, and it was kinda like he was trying to give me a taste.
• 1:21:31
  So I would say I want that.
• 1:21:32
  And then he plays this just freaking just shreds on this solo, and you didn't get to hear
• 1:21:38
  the solo in that clip.
• 1:21:39
  I wish I could.
• 1:21:40
  I need to send you a clip with the solo in it because it's just disgusting.
• 1:21:44
  But I was like no more slide.
• 1:21:47
  I want that solo.
• 1:21:50
  Like, that's been my goal all along is when I start, you know, playing full time with the
• 1:21:57
  band.
• 1:21:58
  Like, I wanna have a lead guitarist that is just freaking nuts to the wall like we'll just
• 1:22:05
  shred and tear up the neck of a guitar and I can just stand back and be like.
• 1:22:10
  Like that's what I want.
• 1:22:13
  So I had that and we shared it on the first episode of love noise we did, but I've been
• 1:22:17
  working on some tracks in the studio, with some friends of mine out out in Rapid City, South
• 1:22:23
  Dakota, and the engineer played the drums.
• 1:22:26
  He's played the guitar on him and some of my songs he's he's saying on him.
• 1:22:30
  He can do it all right.
• 1:22:31
  But we were able to, we were able to get our good friend Johnny Hastings, who's a foot he's
• 1:22:36
  I say he's my favorite guitar player because I've seen him play live for twenty years now.
• 1:22:41
  I've watched his evolution to where the the man has a relationship with this instrument.
• 1:22:46
  Right?
• 1:22:47
  That is beyond anything that I've ever built with my instruments.
• 1:22:51
  And, I kind of, had him sent him some songs.
• 1:22:55
  It was like, hey, man.
• 1:22:56
  You know, rip a fat lead on this or do they, you know, kind of build this in.
• 1:23:01
  And I remember when he sent them back to me and just raw tracks like unmixed nothing.
• 1:23:06
  And he, plays them for me, and I'm just like I'm in tears.
• 1:23:12
  Right?
• 1:23:12
  Just like I'm so happy to hear it and to be, there in that moment, man, was just freaking
• 1:23:21
  crazy, man.
• 1:23:21
  So I I know the feeling that that you've been riding on all day, and, what a joy to have you,
• 1:23:28
  on the show, when it's all still fresh, right?
• 1:23:32
  It's really that's what this show is about.
• 1:23:36
  Right?
• 1:23:36
  Like that is exactly what, this thing is supposed to be and and where we want to, take
• 1:23:44
  things in the future.
• 1:23:47
  Dalton, you mind if I play a song for you and see what you think about one of my songs?
• 1:23:51
  Can I play the song?
• 1:23:52
  I'd love yeah.
• 1:23:53
  Absolutely, brother.
• 1:23:54
  Well, because actually, I didn't play the mixed version when we were on the show.
• 1:23:59
  I played the, I just had the unmixed kind of raw tracks.
• 1:24:03
  But, look at all these guys are dropping like flies anyway.
• 1:24:07
  Alright.
• 1:24:09
  It's just
• 1:24:09
  me and Dalton now.
• 1:24:11
  Well, we don't need them anyway, dude.
• 1:24:14
  That might make this a part of every show, and I get to share a little bit of my music with
• 1:24:19
  everybody.
• 1:24:19
  And actually, the song you heard at the top of the show, that intro, that's one of my songs
• 1:24:24
  called Rise Up that I actually work
• 1:24:26
  with with the
• 1:24:27
  When I heard that song playing, was like
• 1:24:30
  that sounds like Bubba.
• 1:24:33
  That sounds like Bubba.
• 1:24:34
  And so I'm glad that you told me it was you.
• 1:24:36
  Yeah, I guess hey, I can.
• 1:24:39
  That's one thing like I may not be the best guitar player and I may not, you know, I I I
• 1:24:44
  know I've got a good voice, but I don't.
• 1:24:46
  I know I don't have like the greatest voice ever, but like when I hear people like I can
• 1:24:50
  pick voices out, I can pick tone, you know, it's I can pick those tones out.
• 1:24:54
  Well, and that's what I kinda realized because I feel the same way, brother.
• 1:24:57
  I'm I'm not the greatest guitar player, and that's why I kinda always try to, like, hire
• 1:25:00
  guys, especially on the studio versions because I don't have any studio experience.
• 1:25:04
  It's a different animal, man.
• 1:25:06
  It's a totally different animal.
• 1:25:08
  And I've played some guitar on this, but this is a song called Drifter and my buddy Johnny
• 1:25:12
  Hastings, tore it up on this song, and I'm really excited to play this for you and to get
• 1:25:20
  your thoughts, man.
• 1:25:21
  So this
• 1:27:36
  Alright.
• 1:27:36
  We don't have to listen to the whole thing, man, but I I just wanted to hear that knowing
• 1:27:40
  how much you love guitar playing.
• 1:27:42
  Man, I love that funky blues, like, solo, man.
• 1:27:45
  Like, and and the doc like, it's it's to me, that's like a doc rock, like, almost like a
• 1:27:52
  it's like a
• 1:27:53
  It's swampy.
• 1:27:54
  Right?
• 1:27:54
  It it's got Yeah.
• 1:27:55
  It's like like Jimmy Buffett crossed with some freaking blues, man.
• 1:27:59
  Like, it's different.
• 1:28:01
  It's different to market.
• 1:28:03
  Yeah.
• 1:28:03
  It was funny.
• 1:28:04
  Dalton, I wrote that song in prison.
• 1:28:07
  Think No
• 1:28:08
  way.
• 1:28:09
  About my life and where I'd been and and all the running that I'd done in life and, you
• 1:28:15
  know, kind of nothing to lose.
• 1:28:16
  And the theme of that song kind of reminded me of that.
• 1:28:20
  But the what you get to in the second verse is like time has changed my ways.
• 1:28:26
  I've left my drifting days behind.
• 1:28:27
  Right?
• 1:28:28
  I'm a family man.
• 1:28:28
  Now I'm watching my kids grow up, and I'm doing all these things.
• 1:28:32
  And, you know, that was the big impetus for me, you know, coming back and biting the bullet.
• 1:28:37
  Like, I was I was on the run for a year in Mexico, Dalton, before I came back and, like,
• 1:28:42
  knowing I was going to prison, right, and knowing I had that time ahead of me.
• 1:28:46
  And, so that song really came out in that time frame.
• 1:28:50
  And then to be able to this is the first time I've ever recorded it.
• 1:28:54
  It's just been a song in my head for, you know, like, seven, eight years.
• 1:28:58
  Right?
• 1:28:58
  Or and my wife had heard it, and she'd always been a big fan of that one.
• 1:29:03
  And then, when we went to record this, and I knew I was recording these tracks, it was like,
• 1:29:09
  this has gotta be this has gotta be one of them, you know?
• 1:29:12
  And Right.
• 1:29:13
  We had had the we built we did the guitar tracks and the drum tracks and the rhythm
• 1:29:18
  guitar tracks in just one shot.
• 1:29:20
  We all kinda got together.
• 1:29:21
  I had the the bass player, Diame Giroux, and the drummer is the engineer, Tom Freer.
• 1:29:26
  We're at his studio, Cottonwood Studios.
• 1:29:28
  And we literally, like, ran through the song twice, and then it was like, okay.
• 1:29:32
  Let's hit record.
• 1:29:33
  And and we got the base of the song, and I was like, that sounds good, man.
• 1:29:37
  Cool.
• 1:29:37
  And then, you know, four or five months later, Johnny has the tracks, the guitar player, and I
• 1:29:44
  didn't know what he was gonna do.
• 1:29:45
  I wasn't there when he did them.
• 1:29:46
  He did them, you know, at his home studio, and he sends them back like, Oh, man, let me know
• 1:29:50
  what you think.
• 1:29:51
  And I'm just like Tears streaming down my face listening and like, Oh, my God, like, that's my
• 1:29:57
  song.
• 1:29:57
  That's that's my song, you know?
• 1:30:01
  And yeah, we're in the final mixing that one's pretty much ready to go now and ready to rock
• 1:30:07
  out there.
• 1:30:08
  And, I don't know what you know if it's gonna go on the vinyl or what we're gonna do with it.
• 1:30:15
  But, I'm really, I'm I'm really proud of it, man.
• 1:30:20
  So when I say like, know that feeling that you're swimming in
• 1:30:23
  today.
• 1:30:23
  Yeah.
• 1:30:24
  Right?
• 1:30:24
  Like, I know it intimately, and I know it very recently, and you really epitomize, what this
• 1:30:32
  show is about and why the scene projects have evolved.
• 1:30:35
  Like, so much of, of what I've built was to meet to meet guys like you.
• 1:30:41
  Right?
• 1:30:42
  And and to to bring you on, to share your story, to share your art, to BS with the boys.
• 1:30:49
  Right?
• 1:30:50
  And and to to get some shots in when you can and just to have a good time, talking music and
• 1:30:57
  sharing our passion, man.
• 1:30:59
  So, Dalton, I think everybody else is pretty much tapped out on us in one way or another.
• 1:31:04
  I wanna thank you so much for coming on the show tonight, for sharing the new music.
• 1:31:09
  We're also excited.

• 1:33:25
  central hub of the scene project.
