0:03

0:05

0:07
to see you how's your cruise experience
0:11
it's really great um we and here we are
0:13
at the end and now I finally kind of
0:16
have the gist so we're already saying we
0:18
have to come back because now that I
0:21
understand how things work I had one day
0:23
of real seasick I think it was on
0:25
Tuesday so it' been like about 48 hours
0:29
and um then I was fine after that we
0:32
just had a little bit of adjustment we
0:34
had kind of odd weather too the weather
0:35
has been not great yeah but I've loved
0:39
it we've had a great time everybody's
0:40
been so kind they are sweet all of the
0:43
the fans and the other artists you know
0:45
getting to actually be contained on a
0:48
boat for a week it's been really fun to
0:50
hang out and see all the other music
0:52
that's what almost every artist has said
0:54
that their favorite part is like you
0:55
don't get to see each other any other
0:57
time really yeah yeah that's true okay
0:59
let's talk about your fantastic career
1:01
it's been almost 30 years my friend I
1:03
know does it feel like 30 years no it
1:05
doesn't I know old people say
1:08
that I'm now no I'm just playing around
1:12
but I like you know you hear your
1:14
grandparents and your parents and aunts
1:15
and uncles all these people talk about
1:17
how you know oh it's just like yesterday
1:20
and it's so true it just has flown it's
1:23
flown and we're always so young and at
1:25
Heart Right still well you're still
1:27
young we're both still young we're right
1:30
yes but very you know we all stay kids
1:32
inside and so I think that's why time
1:35
goes faster because we just we stay the
1:37
same inside little growth spurts here
1:40
and there but um being a kid at heart is
1:42
the key so that's what keeps everything
1:45
feeling so retro and current at the same
1:48
time did you know when Strawberry Wine
1:51
was released that that was going to be
1:53
what a career changer that it was no no
1:55
idea nope no clue you know we'd worked
1:57
on that record for like four or five
2:00
years trying to get it ready and um it
2:03
had gone through a lot of Renditions and
2:05
songs and things and and uh my
2:08
co-producers changed a few times and by
2:11
the time we had it done we were just so
2:13
happy to have it finished and have it
2:15
out there right and see but it's such a
2:17
team effort by everybody at Capital and
2:20
the community the producer the
2:22
Publishers rather and uh just it was a
2:25
real Community record at the end of the
2:27
day it was a great record I'm sure
2:29
you've heard that rumors have swirled
2:32
that Laney Wilson's watermelon moonshine
2:34
was inspired by Strawberry Wine yes I've
2:36
heard that I did the um Tik Tock duet
2:39
with her she's fabulous isn't she she's
2:42
the greatest person she's Lena you're
2:43
the greatest human I know she is and
2:46
she's from the little town NE right next
2:49
to where my parents and all my people
2:51
are from and so my cousin and her dad
2:54
are buddies and you know just the
2:56
families have known each other and Lany
2:58
being very young and aspiring to do
3:01
music you know we knew about her early
3:04
and she's just shown so much promise for
3:06
so many years and so I'm not surprised
3:09
that she is just knocking it out of the
3:10
park she's great she's the real deal she
3:13
comes from Good People okay but you are
3:16
