Yellowstone is a big show, what do you think of that?
Yellowstone, I mean they've been great to me. They put several of my songs on
the show which
really just introduced me to a crowd of people who might not listen to radio or
stream music.
I mean, I have people still, you know, come to the shows and they're like,
before your acting
gig, like I found your music through Yellowstone. So it's crazy to think that a
show's soundtrack
is really like that helpful. But for Yellowstone, it is. It truly is. And
Taylor Sheridan,
the writer and producer, he's just been good to me. I mean, he called me last
February and he's like,
he said, I got this idea. He said, I want to create a character specifically
for you. And
he said, wear your bell bottoms, sing your songs, pretty much be you, but go by
a musician named Abby.
And I mean, this is my first acting gig. I've been acting a fool my whole life,
but this was like,
you know, the real thing. And this was like a huge thing considering it was my
first too.
But I had so much fun. I didn't know what to expect. I will say there are a lot
of similarities,
like with what I normally do on a daily basis. And that, I mean, like it's a
lot of hurry up and wait.
You get ready for the scene. You, you're waiting for your, you know, your
moment to shine and you
got like a few minutes to show them what you can do, you know, or even when it
comes to like
learning the lines, it's like learning a song that I didn't write. But
everybody made me feel so
comfortable. I mean, I became great friends with a lot of them, Beth. I mean,
she is Kelly Riley.
She is so bad-ass and she's actually really kind. When we first met, because my
very first scene was
with her.
Bring her up there, buddy. Kelly Riley, bring her up on there.
Kelly Riley, you know, she's British.
Oh yeah. I know about them.
Yep. She British. So you should have heard mine in her conversation. We needed
a dang translator.
Yeah.
But she's great. She's still, you can tell that she's still got that spitfire
spirit about her.
Um, but she is a, a good human. I mean, she made me bath salts and
I was like, okay, I thought you were going to put me in a headlock. You make me
bath salts.
Bath salts are, people die from them though.
Yeah. Well, we're going to do the right thing with the bath salts.
Okay. I'm just saying. Yeah. Maybe she's trying to get rid of me. Yeah. If
somebody rolls up.
I never thought about it. I'm going to call her.
Yeah, man. That's swimmer's myth. They call it. That's it. That's it.
That's some hardcore stuff. Tell me your first scene when you got to get out
there and do it.
Cause that's when it's scary when they're like at, when the, when, you know,
when they say action
and it's on, like, you got to get that line out and your brain is like
listening to you say it.
Yeah. It's like, you get stuck in that space kind of, I mean, what was any of
that?
Like, was it, I'll tell you, I was, I was real nervous that day, but I have, I
had a lot of
family members praying for me that day for me to not be nervous and for me to
just kind of be in my
body and people were sending me good vibes. And I really think that helped
because when I got out
there to do it for some crazy reason, I was not nervous at all. It was like, I
had been doing it my
whole life and I'm like kind of freaked out that I wasn't nervous. You know,
wow. I was nervous for
the kissing scene. My first kissing scene. Oh, y'all were kissing on there?
Dude.
Yes. I said, I'm going to be on the dang church prayer list back at home.
Maybe she don't follow me. Crab up your hair, boo. That's it. It's time.
I didn't know what to expect with all that either. I'm like. And who was the
man?
Um, he goes by Ryan on the show. His name is Ian Bowen. He's become a dear
friend of mine too. He's
actually one of my biggest champions. I mean, he just, he shows up to shows. He
knows all the
words to my songs better than I do. Well, heck you kissed him. I'd fricking
probably follow you.
Yeah. Yeah. He's following me. Um, bring up that man if we can, huh?
Bring him up. Ian Bowen. Ian Bowen. And he's out there lip locking out there.
That's right. And it wasn't his first rodeo. Oh, dang. He's handsome, huh? Yep.
I mean, he's all right. I mean, all the cowboys on that show, they, yeah.
It's a real, it's a real lot of handsomers on there, huh?
Uh, a lot of handsomers. Because I've seen the other one. I haven't seen this
show.
Yep. I know that some of the cast, but I've not seen this show, but yeah, he
looks like a handsome
guy. Oh, look at that, huh? Oh yeah. I mean, we got down to it. That was the
first, our first
little interaction. And so did you guys talk before it? Yeah. Huh? Yeah, we did.
We, uh,
we actually had, uh, a few days of working together before we actually had to,
you know,
do the, do the thing. Um, but yeah, we just got to
know each other. And I mean, I didn't, like I said, I didn't know, I didn't
know if like,
we really needed to go in or like go in or whatever. I mean,
Y'all made on there too, or is just kissing? It's just kissing.
I mean, I wake up in a tent in one scene. Um, so it's kind of up to your
imagination.
Oh, dang. But you know, that's, that's as, as risky as it got. Well, my
imagination, uh, it has, yeah.
Yeah. It's, it is not allowed around me anymore. Uh huh. Put that thing away.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Better take the batteries out of that thing.
I hope you enjoyed that video and you can watch another and you can watch this
one. You can watch
this one. Different options, different choices. Some guy just brings you one
option, not this guy,
two options. Watch one, this one or this one.
