Brent Cobb has spent nearly twenty years making a living on the road. The longer he does it, the more clearly he sees what it costs.Brent is back with Chad, talking about the people you bring into your circle, what happens when one person starts dragging down an entire crew, and the strange feeling of watching artists who once came to him for advice go on to play Madison Square Garden.He talks about leaving Nashville and moving his family home to Georgia, the real story that became “30-06,” and why every attempt he has made to write specifically for country radio has fallen flat.Chad and Brent talk about their kids, the moments they miss while working, and the guilt that comes with being gone even when that work is what gives their families a life.There are stories about Jamey Johnson, including the message he sent Brent after hearing Keep ’Em on They Toes, before the conversation turns to Hank Williams Jr., Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Chris Knight, and who truly belongs on country music’s Mount Rushmore.Twenty years in, Brent Cobb is still writing it his way.This episode is presented by Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Demerbox and brought to you by Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, Corning Ford, GATR Coolers & Drinkware, Resistol Hats, Jack Link’s Protein Snacks, Bodyguard Bumpers, Bedslide, The Provider Culinary, and TKO Vitality.
