LOCASH : SAVING THE WORLD Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

Chris Lucas and Preston Brust make up the country duo LoCash, but for these guys, it goes well beyond music. Over the years they have developed a brotherhood that has become a major part of their success. It’s one of those vibes that just occurs and entertains anyone around including our troops on 2 USO tours earlier this year. The “brotherhood” joins Crook & Chase for a Nashville Chat about their recent chart topper ONE BIG COUNTRY SONG, Preston’s life as a PK (preacher’s kid), Chris’s odd fishing gear, and how they’d go about running a Walmart. It gets interesting. It’s another unbridled round of fun with LoCash.

RANDY TRAVIS: Not Silenced Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

A devastating stroke in 2013 took the voice, and nearly the life, of superstar Randy Travis. In the few years prior, some of those closest to Randy had depleted his fortune and upended his career. Randy details his saga in his recent autobiography, "Forever and Ever, Amen: A Memoir of Music, Faith, and Braving the Storms of Life". This 2011 interview with Randy was his last extensive visit with Crook & Chase, and focused on the 25th anniversary of his debut album Storms of Life, that had ushered in a new, traditionalist era in country music. The album "Anniversary Celebration" features many of today's stars and legends singing with Randy on his biggest hits. Now, on the 35th anniversary of the July 29th, 1985 release of his first number one hit "On The Other Hand", Randy is releasing a never-before-heard recording called "A Fool's Love Affair". As you will hear, the love and friendship between Randy Travis and Lorianne and Charlie goes back to the very beginning as they all grew up together in Nashville's global country music scene.

Show notes

A Garth Brooks flashback. One of his most important years, 2007. As he eases out of semi-retirement to launch the next chapter of his life and career, Garth meets up with Lorianne Crook to reflect on what matters most to him: his family, the two men he says he "would be nothing" without, the two mottos he lives by, and the truth about ego. Then it goes off the rails with Garth's hilarious sense of humor as he recalls his one "nude scene" in a music video, and jokes about the many versions of his "fat pants". Garth Brooks - raw and real!

Show notes

Time for Crook & Chase to check in with the award winning duo Brothers Osborne to see what they’ve been up to during this adventure we call “ stay at home”. Knowing these guys, there has to be a lot of fun involved. Turns out there has been, everything from board games with the family to doing demos for other artists, hangin’ with Mom, and wondering what’s next for them as far as touring and performing. Oh, and they’re really receptive to our suggestion for a new protective mask for John and his big-time beard, as well as Lorianne and Charlie’s “out of bounds” suggestion for a variation of Scrabble.
