Charles Kelley: "I'm A Little More Country Club"
The fellas finally wrangled Charles Kelley! We kicked things off with his legendary brag sheet—apparently, they stopped counting at 80 bullet points! As one-third of Grammy-winning country trio Lady A, you definitely know "Need You Now" (and so does AC radio, judging by how often Charles hears it instead of his own new solo single).
But it's not all chart-toppers! We delve into Charles's unique vocal warm-ups (it basically involves singing that song's intro), his declaration that he's "accomplished everything" he needed to with drinking, and how a surprisingly romantic night led to a surprise baby number two (he hilariously takes the blame!). Plus, that "not a big deal" band name change? Turns out, it was quite the story.

I've got a new single, “Traveling Light,” out as of Friday! We all know what it's like to have one of those years. A year filled with goodbyes, hard conversations, and sometimes a lot of us just getting things wrong. This song is about that, but it's also about carrying love and a peace that passes understanding through it all.
This song owes a lot to Tom Petty. I really wanted to write something that felt easy and free, much like the title, and it was so fun writing toward that aim. Nothing about this song is overthought - the lyrics, chords, production - and writing and recording it was so fun and easy. I also love songs that serve as a reminder to myself It’s a fun summer sounding song to roll the windows down to!
My pick this week is gonna be maybe the niche-est pick I’ve ever picked but those of you out there who have an unhealthy dependence on really good espresso are gonna love it.
This was actually given to me as a gift by Dave Barnes and my brother-n-law & sister-n-law. That sentence is confusing on a couple levels but there’s no other way to say it. Years ago my sister-n-law and brother-in-law got this for me for Christmas and then last year Dave got me one during our Christmas gift guide episode. So I own 2 of them. Not to brag.
And you should own one, too.
