Hey guys, it's Gail with Everything Nash
0:02
here with Ryland. I haven't talked to
0:04
you in a hundred years. It's been
0:05
>> It's not been a hundred years, but it's
0:07
been a long time.
0:07
>> You were in the red truck last time I
0:09
talked to you.
0:09
>> What? Don't talk about that truck. I
0:11
sold it.
0:12
>> It's a beautiful truck.
0:12
>> Don't make me cry.
0:14
>> Let's start with Happy Things. We were
0:15
just talking about Happy Things.
0:16
>> Your new song.
0:17
>> My new song. Come on, Cowboy. It's a
0:19
song for the summer and for my country
0:22
girls that are a little wild and like to
0:24
dance. I'm really excited about the
0:25
single. It'll be fun.
0:26
>> Okay. And what else can you tell me
0:28
about new music happening, Rayan? New
0:29
music. I have a single coming out. Um,
0:32
an awesome another song coming out with
0:34
a legend. Can't can't really say too
0:36
much about that one. It's a duet. And
0:38
then, um, just more new music that I'm
0:40
writing. So, we're we're kind of in the
0:43
in the season of trying to figure out
0:44
what's next after after Come on Cowboy,
0:46
which I'm really excited about. All good
0:48
things.
0:48
>> I'm not really sure how you have time to
0:50
work on music because you tour like all
0:51
the time.
0:52
>> Um, we just make it happen. We we we
0:55
schedule it in. That's why you have
0:57
schedulers. Um, you know, I I like my
0:59
routine normally is like, especially in
1:02
the tour season, I leave normally
1:04
Wednesday, Thursday night, get on the
1:05
road, and then I have Monday off, and
1:08
then I'll try to write Tuesday or
1:09
Wednesday. I always like to keep the
1:11
creative side of my brain working even
1:14
while I'm while I'm on the road because
1:16
that's what I love to do. So, it's
1:18
great.
1:19
>> Let's talk about touring because you
1:20
were on the road with Jason Aldine last
1:22
year. No big deal. And now you're on
1:23
with Luke Bryan. I mean, what
1:25
>> those are both idiots. And this is so
1:26
it's funny. It's like Jason is like his
1:29
hang is so like Jason's like very
1:31
serious but also like a goober. But then
1:34
you actually have the the ultra goober
1:36
which is which is Luke. But they're like
1:38
so funny cuz they're best friends but
1:39
they're totally opposite. But they're
1:42
both of their crews are so fun. Like
1:44
it's um it was so fun to be out with
1:46
Jason last year, but to be with Luke
1:48
this year is going to be a blast, too.
1:49
I've never been out with with him on a
1:51
full tour. I've done a few shows here
1:53
and there. Um but yeah, I'm excited.
1:56
I feel like you're kind of all of that
1:57
that era. I feel like you're their
1:59
little sister.
2:00
>> Yes. A little bit.
2:00
>> Yeah. I I mean like when all of um he
2:04
was Luke was the first country artist I
2:06
met besides Blake. I met him at Stage
2:09
Coach when I was 18 years old straight
2:11
off The Voice and um he was so sweet to
2:14
me. So yeah, they've they've been around
2:15
me for a long time and they're just so
2:18
so sweet.
2:19
>> Let's talk about The Voice. It's been a
2:20
minute. What has it been? 2012.
2:22
>> 2012. Yes. You were a baby child. Does
2:26
it feel like a lifetime ago?
2:28
>> Yes and no.
2:29
>> Yes and no. It feels like it feels like
2:32
just yesterday. And then when I think
2:33
about how much life I've lived since
2:35
then, um it feels like a while. But it's
2:39
just it laid a foundation for me that
2:41
I'll never forget. And it's like it
2:43
started I mean I'm just so grateful for
2:45
all the connections I made on The Voice.
2:47
And then I got to go back a couple years
2:49
ago for Blake's last episode and getting
2:52
to see all my friends and the producers
2:54
and um it was really funny this the guy
2:58
the camera guy his name we we called him
3:00
Froggy but um he came up to me and he
3:03
said you were still the only contestant
3:04
that cussed on national television and
3:06
you were the our youngest contestant cuz
3:08
when I found out I made it to the next
3:09
round I cussed. And he said nobody's
3:12
ever done that except you. So I was like
3:13
the fact that you remember that is
3:15
absolutely atrocious but also kind of
3:16
funny
3:17
>> which is
3:17
>> and very spot on
3:19
>> which is a really interesting segue into
3:21
the next question
3:23
about your faith. You're you're so
3:24
positive. You talk about your faith
3:26
>> from that to faith that I can make sense
3:27
for me you know.
3:28
>> I mean but I feel like for you can we
3:31
just talk a little bit about how you in
3:33
this world of social media you are such
3:35
a shining light of staying positive and
3:37
I love that so much about you.
3:39
>> Thank you. I I try to be positive
3:41
because first of all, we are all to live
3:45
every single day is such an amazing
3:47
thing and I love I wouldn't be here
3:51
without my faith and um my belief in
3:55
that this is what I'm called to do. And
3:58
even though this business has a lot of
4:00
ups and downs, I I mean, if you get to
4:03
live your dream every single day, you're
4:05
blessed. And I still I think about, you
4:09
know, little 17, 16year-old me in
4:11
Baytown, Texas. The fact that I get to
4:13
live in Nashville, Tennessee, do see a
4:15
Mayfest, I get to travel the world, and
4:17
I get to be a mom and do all these
4:19
things. It's It never gets old and it's
4:21
truly a blessing. So, and when you have
4:23
a baby, it's just like her outlook on
4:25
life. I mean, like we were in Guilford,
4:28
New Hampshire, and it's raining and like
4:30
I'm stressing about my hair in the rain,
4:31
and she's like, "Muddy puddles." and
4:33
she's running in the rain and I'm like,
4:35
you know what, muddy puddles, you know,
4:37
like we're stressing about rain and
4:39
she's loving the fact that it's raining
4:41
and like it was just so cute. And then
4:43
like Luke's like, I want to go hang out
4:45
with Daisy. Like it's just so like kids
4:47
just bring out such a light to your life
4:51
and and it's just so funny. Like little
4:53
things that we stress about, they're
4:55
like that just made her day. So it's
4:56
it's really sweet.
4:57
>> Does she love touring with you?
4:58
>> She loves touring. She loves her bunk.
5:00
She knows on the road she gets to stay
5:02
up late. I let her stay up till like
5:03
10:30 to watch Luke. She was wild. She
5:06
loves She likes She likes to watch She
5:08
loves country music, you know. She's a
5:10
She's just like her mama. the country.
