Tomorrow’s Hits Today! Today’s guest is Nashville singer/songwriter/producer Justin Wilson! Over the years, Justin has recorded songs by country stars like Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett, Riley Green, Granger Smith, Parmalee, Nate Smith, and many more! His first #1 song, “KISS YOU IN THE MORNING” was recorded by Michael Ray, quickly to be followed up by Randy Houser’s “WE WENT”, Mitchel Tenpenny’s “DRUNK ME” and Dustin Lynch’s “MOMMA’S HOUSE”.
We talk about the influence of rock sounds and rock lyrical influence in today’s country music. Justin also shares with us the long-winding story of the track “Straight Outta Cold Beer” which ended up on Blake Shelton’s album IF I’M HONEST. We play Justin’s version with Justin on lead vocals for the first time! How do you take a dark lyric and shine it up, polish it off, and make it feel bright and celebratory? It’s an art unto itself that Justin explains to us.
Justin’s latest project is the tv show “BANDED: THE MUSICIAN COMPETITION“, with our very own Bob Chiappardi as EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, airing NOW Saturday nights on AXS TV!
Here’s the premise for the show: Imagine finding 25 musicians (5 singers, 5 guitarists, 5 drummers, 5 bass players, and 5 keyboard players), splitting them up into 5 different bands in their preferred genres (most of whom have never met or played together), sticking them with songwriters/mentors, record the songs in a major studio for the first time, and then perform the songs 2 weeks later in front of a live audience, celebrity judges, and in front of 10+ cameras for the first time! MIND-BLOWING how difficult this must have been for these artists! We can’t wait to watch the show.
We get to hear a demo of the song “SHOOT FROM THE HIP” from the band Justin mentored on the show, known as Gamblers In The Neon!
