1
Before we move on to record, I do want to just hear about the morning when all the CMA nominations came out.
2
I'm so disassociated when I get home that I rarely know what's going on.
3
So, like, my phone just blew up, and I was working on my place and getting stuff done.
4
I think we had roped that morning, worked some horses, and I was like, man, who died?
5
Yeah.
6
Oh, it seems like it should be bad news.
7
Did COVID hit again?
8
You know, like, my phone, I've got 47 text messages.
9
And then I start opening it and it's all the balloons and the confetti Congratulations, and I called Brandy and I was like what am I being congratulated for?
10
She's like you just got nominated for five CMAs.
11
I was like, oh sweet.
12
What are they?
13
You know what I mean?
14
Male book list of the year, album of the year, single of the year, music video of the year.
15
Damn!
16
Yeah, it's a lot.
17
Yeah, you know the two that I'm the most proud of are for the songs, you know, Dirt Cheap and The Painter But that goes to the writers and that award doesn't go to me, but like I always wanted to be a songwriter
18
and so like that's the coolest award ever like
19
when you're getting to help songwriters do their thing like I'm
20
I get to be the vessel kind of it's really cool I love
21
that I love the way you framed
22
that in both of those songs too I think it's just interesting like it's interesting
23
that on an album like Leather where they're where Dirt Cheap
24
and The Painter those are both kind of the those are like the serious contenders right yeah
25
and it's just cool that both of them end up getting to have a moment.
26
I try to take a very athletic standpoint to what I do.
27
So like if you want to be the best quarterback, like I want to approach this like Tom Brady.
28
I want to approach this like Conor McGregor or Michael Jordan.
29
Like when we're in the game, I'm here to win.
30
Yeah.
31
And I'm here to be the best and I'm here to dominate.
32
Now get outside the game.
33
I love our country music family and there's nothing I wouldn't do for any one of my friends.
34
And when they won an award over me, I'm genuinely happy.
35
Like, really, I'm like, heck yeah, she won.
36
Or heck yeah, he won, you know.
37
But when we're in the game on stage, I'm here to be the best.
38
And when it comes to putting a record together or picking the songs, like, I really, I'm here to try to clear all the air.
39
Like, I don't know, because I want to be around forever.
40
Yeah.
41
I mean, I, that kind of level of competitiveness speaks to me personally, but also, I mean, hard to not connect it to your past as a rodeo guy too.
42
Yeah, I think that has a lot to do with it.
43
And I still, you know, I'm still roping and rodeoing and doing all that.
44
And sometimes I win and sometimes I just get my ass kicked.
45
Wait, okay, so can you explain?
46
I'm obviously like, I'm a Nashville girl.
47
So I'm like, I'm a city girl.
48
But I'm like, you know, Nashville is Nashville.
49
So it is, it's country and city.
50
But I didn't grow up around any of these kinds of sports.
51
You're still actively competing?
52
Yeah.
53
What?
54
What?
55
Yeah, like that.
56
I won this buckle this year.
57
What?
58
Yeah.
59
What does it say?
60
Brazos Valley Classic Champion.
61
Okay.
62
Yeah, but it's team roping.
63
What is that?
64
So you got one guy that comes out and the steer is released and there's two horses, two guys, and you have one guy catches the head and the horns,
65
turns him, and one guy catches the feet.
66
Whoever does that the fastest wins.
67
And usually it's like a four steer average of what your time is.
68
And it's pretty competitive.
69
And the reason why I like it so much is because it's five mines.
70
It's this guy and his horse, this guy and his horse, and then there's a steer.
71
And there's so many variables right there.
72
So when it does work and you win a buckle or you win a little paycheck, it's like everything was perfect that day.
73
And then you have days where it's like the header where you catch every steer and then every single healer misses.
74
And you call your wife and she's like, how did you rope?
75
And I'm like, I roped great.
76
Yeah.
77
But I didn't win anything.
78
That's hard too.
79
You ought to ask my wife about team roper math.
80
Yeah, that's fascinating.
81
I'm like, hey, I won $30,000.
82
She's like, no, you didn't.
83
You were pulling a $150,000 trailer, pulling a $75,000 horse.
84
You didn't win anything.
85
I'm like, I know, but it was fun.
86
Okay, there are three co-writes on this album, three places that you show up as a writer.
87
I'm always a little bit intrigued, just like, oh, interesting.
88
Like, this is what was coming out of your brain.
89
What the hell is going on in Georgia Peach?
90
Oh Like I have tried to just I think I finally discerned this story, but I'm like this is fascinating It was an accident.
91
Okay, so a friend of mine who will remain nameless Randy Mayer
92
Brings us this jug of its its brass line copper steel sure enough Georgia Moonshine, but it's got peaches in it and it's dangerous because
93
it's so good it's so sweet but if you drink about
94
that much of it you're going to be in a bind uh
95
so after a show one night we were in Georgia
96
and uh started drinking these peaches me
97
and my guitar player Jake Mears my band leader
98
and fiddle player uh Jody Bartula were sitting on the bus
99
and we all get to we get pulling on this jug of these peaches
100
and I just had we had our our guitars out and stuff.
101
And I just said, Georgia peaches, Georgia peaches.
102
They'll tear you all to pieces once you run them through that copper line.
103
And I'm sitting there playing it and Jake's kind of playing on his banjo.
104
And I looked around, I was like, and they're burning down the county.
105
Still ain't nobody found me looking for that man that's been running shine.
106
And it just kind of, the story just fell out.
107
I love it.
108
I have no, I had no idea where that story was going.
109
My wife goes, Brandy says, did you put Jesus and methamphetamines in the same song?
110
I was like, yeah.
111
Yeah, baby.
112
Well, because I was thinking, I was like, you know, now it ain't no big deal.
113
But, I mean, 30, 40 years ago or more, running moonshine was a bad deal, right?
114
Nobody cares now.
115
You know, it's not a big deal.
116
Why?
117
Well, thanks to those methamphetamines, nobody's worried about the moonshine.
118
And it was like, it just, the story fell out.
119
That's so fun.
120
Okay, then we go from, like, you know, Georgia Peaches, which is an absolute great time,
121
to the doozy that is I Wish It Was You.
122
So Hardy, Michael Hardy, sends me this song.
123
And the demo was like, you remember the song Hey There, Delilah?
124
That's what it was like.
125
Shoulda left that last phone on the bar.
126
That's what the demo sounded like?
127
And I was like, I was so enthralled with the lyrics.
128
But my deal was this guy in this song is miserable.
129
He screwed his life up.
130
There's no chance of getting her back.
131
And he's drowning in a bottle and he's going, hey.
132
I did it.
133
I wished it was you.
134
Sorry.
135
I screwed up.
136
It was late.
137
I was drunk.
138
I was drunk.
139
And I wished it was you.
140
And so I picked up my guitar and I was like, I just want, this guy's sad.
141
It needs to sound sad.
142
You know, the Grand Tour by George Jones is sad.
143
You know, he stopped loving her today.
144
It's sad.
145
And so I tried to paint melodically this guy to be what he is.
146
It's Merle Haggard, Misery and Gin.
147
And whenever Hardy and his co-writer came by the studio, they were like, where did you get this from?
148
I was like, well, the guy y'all wrote about was really messed up.
149
This needed to sound sad.
150
It needed to feel that way.
151
So that's where that came from.
152
Okay.
153
I got the chance to hear.
154
I just randomly went to a writer's round at the Bluebird, which I'm so cynical anymore.
155
I hardly get to do.
156
Yeah.
157
And Kelly Archer was there.
158
And she performed it was the week after I'm gonna love you with Carrie Underwood came out
159
and I'm I'm been saying this is a song This is song of the year.
160
This is a major hope you're right.
161
Y'all heard it here first You know y'all have to be saying it to y'all have to be thinking it.
162
I mean, this is a massive massive song
163
And she's telling the story about them writing it
164
and it was just like what's a Boring title
165
that we could just write the shit out of I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna love you Yeah, and then they just wrote it They wrote the shit out of it.
166
I think it's amazing because it's so simple Yes, this is gonna happen and this is gonna happen
167
and this is gonna happen But I'm gonna love you
168
and then this is gonna happen and this is gonna happen
169
and I'm gonna love you It's like but that's kind of the basis of like marriage
170
It's just so simple like we we overthink Relationships we overthink marriages and all this stuff.
171
It's like dude no matter what happens.
172
I'm just I'm gonna love you And that's that's I think it's beautiful and the way that hooked melodically that
173
I don't know whether that was Kelly or whether that was Travis, but that's the coolest melody ever So it sounds like this song had been in your orbit for a second.
174
Okay, so my story on the song is
175
Travis had played me this song when we were out doing some shows together
176
And I was like I'm in love with this song like please let me have this song
177
and this was when I was cutting human
178
so Universal says this is going to be a single on Travis's record and I never heard of it again
179
unbeknownst to me Travis is not a single
180
so he pitches it to Carrie goes in Carrie's pile doesn't make Carrie's cut
181
so it goes back out right
182
and Travis had even talked about maybe him doing it as
183
a duet with Carrie still I don't know this I'm completely oblivious to this
184
so when we come around to leather I'm like what was
185
that song that Travis pitched me that one time that like him and Kelly Archer wrote this, like I'm gonna
186
It's I'm gonna love you so we get it
187
and as soon as I hear it I go Carrie it's Carrie Underwood Well, but what about what if we can't get care what about her
188
or what about her and I'm like that's great It has to be Carrie Underwood
189
or I'm not cutting the song
190
So then whenever I finally talked to Carrie she's like well
191
everything happens for a reason like this is the second time
192
The song has been put in front of me like really so I hear her version of the story Yeah, yeah, and I'm like it was just meant to be
193
The other freaky thing about this song is y'all should not sound that good together.
194
It's really weird It's like kin harmony.
195
I said this in an interview earlier.
196
I grew up singing with my parents.
197
We called it family harmony Yes, like so Jake and Jody we've but we've all been singing together for over a decade We have family harmony.
198
I can do something completely different and they just jump to me.
199
They already know yeah, so It's interesting because Carrie said two things.
200
I don't do is love songs and and low register.
201
So like when we were tracking it, I called her and she was listening and I'm like, do we need to go step up?
202
Do we need to go step down as far as key?
203
Are you good with the production tempo and all this?
204
And so she kind of signed off on it and I was like, all right, cool.
205
Then when we got into seeing it, I'd already done my vocals.
206
So she comes in the studio, she does her vocals.
207
And when we got to the end of it.
208
Are you there?
209
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
210
I don't miss a beat in the studio.
211
Like that's, I'm very, very, very hands in the mud on this stuff my fingers on all of it.
212
And it just like, I don't know what it, it wasn't a look of like disappointment on her face, but it was just like this.
213
It was like, hmm.
214
I'm like, what are you, what are you not liking?
215
Like, what's not, what's wrong?
216
Cause I'm kind of like, oh gosh, it wasn't, it didn't have the boom panicking.
217
It didn't have well.
218
And I'm sitting there going like, we're both professionals, you know what I'm sitting there?
219
Like for me, it doesn't have that thing either.
220
And I'm like, I don't know what do you, she's like, what if we just sing it live?
221
I'm like that's a great idea to each other.
222
Yeah So we went in opposite sides of glass just like you
223
and I are sitting and we sang it live and that's what's on the record That's what you're hearing is one take.
224
Stop it.
225
I swear to God and but the cool part was is now We're sitting there singing.
226
I could see her
227
When she's gonna breathe and she's watching me for what so that part in the bridge that mmm
228
That was completely ad-libbed but we're sitting there being able to look at each other and going you're gonna go All right, I'm gonna go with you.
229
And it was so organic.
230
So it was like singing in church
231
And afterwards I was like now that that was it like
232
that was the take that's the one So here's the thing that that makes sense to me.
233
But when I hear this performance It is
234
so masterfully precise It just doesn't even feel like it could
235
be a live vocal like that's crazy I mean obviously in
236
the studio there's gonna be some you know some mic pops
237
that they edit or like there was a S that wasn't time.
238
Yeah.
239
But no, that's nuts.
240
But it was crazy.
241
And we did it the one time.
242
I was like, I'm pretty sure we just got what we needed.
243
And Trent Willman and Jack Clark are sitting there going.
244
Yeah.
245
We got it.
246
Yes.
247
Like, just get out of there.
248
You're fired.
249
Get out of the booth.
250
I love it so much.
251
But, you know, like, afterwards, you know, I wanted to make sure she was happy with it.
252
And she's like, dude, it's your song.
253
Like, of course I'm happy with it.
254
And I think this song for me, It's just one of my favorite songs I get to show
255
off a little bit I think for her we hear a different side of Carrie's vocal
256
That is so freaking It's my favorite side of her vocal
257
That sultry Aretha Franklin thing I see it almost like it's like the caramel part Of her tone
258
If that makes sense And it's a little warmer And a little darker
259
But still just as precise And just as controlled
260
I thought it was great And she's been so gracious Even through the creation of the music video worked with me for, I mean, we sat in that studio for 12 hours and never,
261
never weakened, did everything with a smile on her face.
262
And I'm like, dude, thank you.
263
Like you didn't have to do that.
264
You know, I think I would assume that their team sees this as a big song too.
265
I mean, it's not just a favor to a buddy.
266
This is, I mean, and I know there's a lot of mutual respect there, but this is a big song.
267
Carrie and I are not, and before this, we're not like besties and all that stuff.
268
Like, but we've known each other.
269
I remember the night we met at an award show, I think it's 2022.
270
And I went to the hotel room and I was, because we sat next to each other.
271
And I told my wife, I was like, she was like really nice.
272
She said, yeah.
273
She's so kind.
274
I was like, you seem like such a cool person, you know.
275
And I still haven't gotten to meet her husband yet, but apparently we have a lot in common.
276
And I'd like to go hunting if you're watching this.
277
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
278
Let's make it happen.
279
If you're listening, I'd like to go hunting.
280
But yeah, it was one of those things that we kind of really developed our friendship over the song, which I think is very special too.
281
That's kind of how it happened for me and Reba too.
282
And now Reba's one of my besties.
283
The album closes on the Mustang.
284
This is another one of the co-write that one of your rights.
285
This is one of those songs that
286
Well one it's just deep mm-hmm Like and everybody is not gonna feel this way about offense
287
right right but I Happen to think that when Well, I want why don't you set up with the song?
288
I wanted to hear your take on it I was just gonna say
289
that inside having full freedom inside of a boundary is a really beautiful thing
290
and it provides safety and Like I think it's one of the ways
291
that God cares for us I remember on my wedding day Our pastor from colleges who married us
292
and he said you're about to watch two people do the riskiest and safest thing in the world.
293
That's a great way to put it.
294
Wow.
295
And so obviously, I mean, I interpret this song as kind of that moment, the come to Jesus moment.
296
Okay.
297
But I'd like to hear what it is, what it's about for you.
298
So Wes Bayless, who is the lead singer of the Steelwoods, which is one of my favorite bands ever.
299
So he sent this song to me and it was at a time.
300
Let me say this first.
301
I am not a perfect person.
302
If you back me in a corner, I will fight my way out.
303
I have no problem telling you what's on my mind.
304
And sometimes it's I have to apologize for the things I say.
305
You know, I like a good cocktail.
306
I'm not a I'm not a preacher.
307
OK.
308
But I had reached a point in my life as just a man, as just a man.
309
But, you know, as a husband as well, where I feel like I'd hit rock bottom where I'm like, I'm looking in the mirror and I really don't like what I'm seeing.
310
You know, like, how do I change the way I think?
311
How do I change my habits?
312
How do I change my triggers that go back to that person that I don't want to be?
313
You know, because when I was a young, when I was a young man, I was, I was pretty wild.
314
Like, and I know people are going to be like, what?
315
When I say this, but very, very well could have wound up in prison.
316
pretty wildcat.
317
Um, and nobody could tell me anything.
318
Um, so I was, I was questioning a lot of things about myself and felt like if I talked to God,
319
like I'm not worthy anyway, he's probably not listening anyway.
320
You know, who would want to listen to me?
321
And, uh, then I felt like a hypocrite too.
322
Cause you get on stage and everybody's like, Oh my God, Cody Johnson, you're so awesome.
323
Like, dude, if you only really knew, you know, the, the mental stuff and the, and the stuff that's going on.
324
And so I was in this funk, man.
325
And Wes sends me this song.
326
And at 30, I'm 37 now, but at 36, it clicked because I own horses.
327
This metaphor of this Mustang, you see a Mustang running wild and free across the prairie.
328
Well, he has to worry about predators.
329
He has to worry about his own safety, his own health.
330
He has to worry about all that.
331
And it's all about him.
332
And he's got to worry about all this stuff to keep himself.
333
But my horses on my place that are inside that fence have the best food.
334
They have the cleanest water.
335
They have the cleanest stalls.
336
They get brushed.
337
They get exercised.
338
They get corrected too.
339
So I've got a certain horse that every now and then he wants to, he wants to really run off.
340
I've got a certain bit.
341
You know, the bit is what goes in their mouth.
342
It's pretty aggressive.
343
And I only break that out whenever he decides he wants to go do too much.
344
And when I put that bit in his mouth and I give him one of these, it's an ouch.
345
Okay.
346
okay that hurt I'm gonna stop then you take that bit out
347
and you put the soft bit back in his mouth
348
and say okay now that you're listening
349
and it clicked it uh it clicked for me that God does
350
that with us you know for me for a lot of
351
years he just let me run off fine you want to run run see how you do on your own
352
and then and you're like ow
353
that hurt like why am I going through all this stuff
354
because I'm trying to save you I'm trying to trying to put you in this fence where you'll be safe
355
and you'll be free.
356
Once you're in this fence, you're free.
357
There's a freedom to it.
358
And when that metaphor clicked to me, I called Wes and I was like, hey, why'd you send me this?
359
He's like, man, I just had you on my mind and, you know, and just, I really felt like you would relate to this song.
360
And I'm like, please, please let me have it.
361
And he was kind enough to make me a writer on it because I changed a few things here and there, but I'm not really a writer on it.
362
All the credit goes to Wes, but the story in this song was just, it changed my life For sure.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
