as you make more music so the new album i'm the problem as you make more music
because you have
been so like prolific i think that's the word what does prolific mean i think
that's the right word
too okay but i don't know if either one of us should be if there were the
dictionary guys
it's like producing much fruit producing much fruit foliage or offspring
actually it says
um i've been that prolific in that term but yeah presenting one plentiful it
says uh producing
many works but is it does it get tougher to like okay how do i have do i not
have a song that sounds
that's similar to a song i previous had because when you have so many songs
does that get a little
bit tough or what's that like yeah i think it does you know like has there been
a great song that come
that's like you guys have put together and then you're like oh man it's just a
little too close
to this or well for this album i feel like i just didn't let it get to that
point you know if at
least if i was a part of writing it you know i think i can't remember exactly
how many ones i was and
wasn't a part of writing um but if a song came in from like as a pitch i kind
of knew immediately i was
like oh these people are writing this might have made my last record maybe
probably not but you know
it's like it's like that's what it felt like to me right a lot of the pitches
were that yeah because
i guess people are just going they don't know where your next step is and who
you are there was
there was a select group of writers that i kind of you know told a little bit
what i was trying to
accomplish you know and i feel like that that really helped me uh find a
certain one of the sounds of
that's on my record but for me when i'm writing i kind of you know you you can
kind of tell from
the idea almost if if the song is going to be similar or not you know and that
was something that was
tougher for me because a lot of you know a lot of the things that were
successful and that were easy
in the past were just like whiskey drinking you know like all that stuff and i've
kind of just
almost explored every angle of that that's possible you know like there's still
there's still
some possible ways to get get that in there but i tried to i tried to dig
deeper man and you know
and i and i a lot of my guys that i write with we kind of kept a well at least
for me when i was
writing we kept five or six guys we didn't always write together but you know
that that kind of core
group of guys we we all just had a good good sense of what we were shooting for
and just trying not to
say the same thing that i've said before and you know incorporating new things
so i feel like it was
harder you know i had to work harder yeah um like what do you mean like find a
new angle like drop
yeah just finding new angles and just thinking up ideas you know and there's
you know or just
maybe somebody had an idea and they brought it in and i'm like well that's
pretty good but like
trying to find a way to to make it something different you know like it would
sounds like that
idea would have been on the last record but maybe i can flip this or flip that
into making it something
that's more unique you know so just trying to dig deeper and not just not just
saying oh yeah not
just being content with something you know oh yeah easy i feel like i have a
pretty good gauge of of
you know what's good and what's not but like it's it's nice to have another
person in the room who will
tell you straight up yeah because especially when you when you do get to like
get to this level people
sometimes don't check you the way they should you know they'll just let you
rock with it and you know
whatever damn dude no it's just interesting to hear you say that um i had a guy
a few years ago i had
taken out a guy we went to lunch and we're but he's married and we're both
straight but we went and had
lunch together and um thanks for clarifying me but yeah he was just he's been
like a manager of like
some of the most popular comedians over time and i was talking to him he goes
well you kind of have to
evolve with your audience he's like if you you know going back to kind of what
you said earlier about like
you know some people probably present songs to you that would have been great
an album or two
ago it's like damn that would have been but it's like you yeah i mean you can't
blame you know you
can't of course not you know what i mean you can't expect them to know what's
in your head and what
right you're going to do next yeah and they only have like the footprints that
they've seen you leave
so far make that they can even judge on right like i've heard wasted on you i've
heard that 2.0 18 000
times you know in you know in my inbox um a lot of them don't even make it to
me because it gets snipped
before it even gets to me but yeah i've i've heard plenty of them you know oh
yeah for sure like i
understand it but you know you can't you can't settle like that yeah yeah but
you also don't
want to go too far either because then your fans are like dude you know what's
yeah he's chris what's
his name chris gaines is he just taking a lot of mushrooms or something you
know like you can get that
guy too this man at one time he said he goes one thing you have to you have to
evolve with your
audience if you try to hide that you're evolving or that you're growing because
your audience also grows
right oh yeah so he's like if you try it's it's it can be a trap sometimes to
try to just uh fit your
fit your current feet back into your old footprints and i just thought it was
interesting to hear
somebody said i'd never really thought about because sometimes you're like oh
this worked and i gotta
stay right here but you're not there anymore you know yeah and i mean even if
it's just subtle changes
it don't have to be like huge things you know yeah you don't have to come out
and do like a mozart
style right right you know like my last album i had plenty of trap beats and
stuff like that this time i was
like hey man let's just let's tone that back a little bit i'm tired i'm tired
of it i'm tired of
hearing it so if i'm tired of it they're probably tired here yeah you know so
just like certain
things that you can still get that same swag or that same you can accomplish
certain things without
doing the same exact thing yeah so it's just simple stuff like that in in some
cases do you feel like
you've always had a pretty good like uh instinct about that kind of stuff like
is that something you
think you really have like you kind of can feel i like to think so man i i feel
like i can tell when
something's getting tired you know and yeah i don't that's a gift man yeah i
guess so maybe god gave
me that i don't know um but i've also i've also learned from people in my in my
you know that i've
been around for the last 10 years who have who i feel like i've learned from
and that have helped me
with that as well you know i don't think i was just fully just i think i had a
knack for it already
but i think i've you know developed it and learned from people as well so yeah
yeah so you got the new album
coming out does it feel is there a moment where you feel that the album is
finished is there a moment
where you're like i just can't this is far enough could you keep going on and
out and like could you
keep fine-tuning it forever yes for sure yeah so that's a real possibility you
can overdo it yeah yeah
the powers that be will give you a deadline if you want certain things to
happen you know like you want
your vinyl to come to be out dude to be ready by when the record's ready um you
know things like
that so you kind of they put a you know they give you a buffer because they
know you're not gonna
have it in time they got a buffer for the buffer they got they got like a eight-week
buffer i think
that they put on me but those time those time limits are are healthy i think
you know because especially i
mean it's not like we weren't working i mean we worked really hard on this
album pretty much since tour
was over i've been writing and you know just recording all that so i mean we
recorded 50 or 51 songs and
cut 13 or 14. wow really yeah yeah um so what happens to a lot you just kind of
decide this doesn't
fit here right now or you might yeah some of those songs were songs that i
wrote some of them weren't
so if i didn't write them then they'll just whatever happens to them not up to
me anymore and then if i
did you know who knows i might make a side project of something if you know
something that has nothing to
do with my name i've always kind of wanted to do that anyway you know just kind
of figure out a way to
it wouldn't be my voice it wouldn't i don't know how you do that i'm sure there's
all kinds of ways to go
about it now you know these days but oh yeah but not be my name not my voice
not be any kind of style
of music that i that i normally do you know just to see what happens to it yeah
might be like house
music or something you know i don't know pretty sick dude yeah dude if you had
house music i mean
people would if they saw my name on it they would i don't want it to have my
name on it i want to just
see what happens if it just gets put out into the world you know maybe i'll
like put it on a story
or something like whoever it is you know dream jacker or whatever the team is
but
whatever the name of the guy is wet dream jacker that'd be mine
dream jacking currently um i mean i we were talking me and my buddies were
talking about
this topic the other day actually and i don't know it might actually have
putting out something secret
low-key yeah creating something yeah well i bet because that's an interesting
thing it's like
once you kind of have made a name in one space it's kind of hard you can't you
know you almost have if
you want to get a real test of what people think of something you kind of have
to secretly do it some
other way yeah but it would it wouldn't even be similar to the top of music
that would be nothing
even close to what i'm doing now it would be like i i mean i like i like house
music a little bit
yeah so i'll listen to it working out or driving or stuff you know like melodic
stuff like that kind
of stuff yeah yeah yeah but i feel like a lot of that stuff doesn't necessarily
have a lot of words
and stuff you know so maybe what if i took a song of mine that didn't make my
album but it's got a story
it's got all these things you know what if what would people would people like
that i don't know
dude i thought this i thought started thinking this about two years ago so they
have like ed you go
to these nightclubs and stuff and they'll have like um john summit these
different kind of guys
who are playing like um house like trance or whatever whatever it is it's just
people doing dope
really late at night and just doing like this you know whatever that is i don't
know the difference
between all those styles of music it's like uh it's one style of music i know
there's sub-genres
and all that but yeah same i don't have a clue but i'm always like why don't
they have a
con like a more like country or like why is it always like if they had remixes
of a lot of great
country music like um that and you put it to that same type of that because a
lot of people want to
still go have that environment but i don't sometimes you get tired of that
music it just gets kind of
old so if they had remixes of some dope country i'm like if they had two
country djs that came out like
i feel like it would be so sick just doing remixes and it would be cool i'm
surprised they don't have
that already me too me and caleb presley try thought about trying to do it but
then it was just like
you just don't have a lot of time you know and that becomes something too is
like there's things
you want to do and you just don't have enough time you know yeah yeah and that's
it's smart for
you to realize that i mean it'll be like well i'm gonna quit my job it pays all
my bills and
you know go be a mason it's like well maybe don't do that
Thank you.
