Trying That in a Small Town W/Kelley Lovelace and Neil Thrasher :: Ep 218 MMTBP

In this episode, we welcome veteran Nashville Hit Songwriters Kelley Lovelace and Neil Thrasher to the show. Kelley and Neil discuss their journeys into the music industry, from Kelley's unexpected path through the military to Neil's family background in gospel music.

The conversation delves into the songwriting process, the challenges of getting songs cut by artists, and the changing landscape of the music business due to streaming and technology. Kelley and Neil share personal stories behind some of their hit songs, including the emotional connection to writing "He Didn't Have to Be" for Brad Paisley.

The guests also reflect on the future of songwriting and whether any current music will have the same multi-generational impact as classic songs from the past. They explore the influence of iconic artists like Rush and the importance of creating music that resonates with listeners on a deeper level.

Throughout the discussion, the hosts and guests touch on the controversial song "Try That in a Small Town" and the cultural shift happening in the industry and society. This thought-provoking conversation provides a unique insider's perspective on the world of songwriting and the music business.
