00:00Tell me everything about this suit.

00:04This is nice.

00:05Well, it's a little warm right now.

00:06Yeah, it is a little warm.

00:07We're at that point of the year in Tennessee where you're like, I just want to wear a sweater

00:10and then like today I stepped out of the house and I was like, oh, it's soup and it's 80.

00:13Yeah, I know.

00:14And it was so, it was really nice the past few days.

00:17We went camping and it was like, it was just enough chill to feel like you were camping.

00:20You took two little babies camping?

00:21Yeah.

00:22Three actually.

00:23We went with my in-laws and they have one little one.

00:25And both, both my wife and, and my, and her sister have one on the way too.

00:32So we technically, we had three plus two.

00:35Oh my God.

00:36I forgot you guys are having another baby.

00:37Yeah.

00:38It's about to get real.

00:39When does she do?

00:40Um, May 30th.

00:41Oh my gosh.

00:42Are you so excited?

00:43I'm like, I'm elated.

00:44I can't wait.

00:45How are the, like, how are your current babies feeling about this?

00:49Cause is your oldest, does she get it?

00:50Does she know?

00:51She's um, kind of, she's sort of, we talk about it.

00:54I say, you say, we say mama has a baby, uh, on the way and we'll point to her belly and

00:59she's like, no, I have a baby on the way.

01:01So like, she has like, she doesn't totally get it.

01:03Yeah.

01:04Not quite, but um, she's two and a half.

01:07She's two and a half.

01:08So you're going to have three under three basically.

01:10Close to it.

01:11Yeah.

01:12Oh my God.

01:13Godspeed.

01:14Yeah.

01:15It's going to get real.

01:16Got a lot going on.

01:17That's great.

01:18You also just released a new song.

01:19Was it last week?

01:20Two weeks ago?

01:21Yeah.

01:22A couple of weeks ago called a song called Liberty.

01:23Talk to me about it.

01:24I wrote most of it back, uh, like in 2020, um, not as a part of a project.

01:29It was, you know, a lot of time to sit around the house and do nothing.

01:32So I started picking up my guitar like late at night and writing ideas that I might not

01:36otherwise write if I was working on a project, thinking about putting songs out on the radio.

01:40But um, this song just kept hanging around and uh, the sentiment and the sort of the,

01:47the tone of the song I felt like was relevant now.

01:49And so I thought, let me go record it and get it out.

01:52What about other new music that you've been working on?

01:55That was, that song is a, one of about four or five songs that I have, uh, for, for my

02:00next project, whether that's me putting out songs one at a time or putting them all out

02:04at once.

02:05But, um, so I have, I have some other songs that I'm going to get in first of the year

02:07and record and get out.

02:10I'm still in that, um, phase of, of putting songs out, uh, one song at a time.

02:14So I don't go away for too long.

02:16But um, anyway.

02:17Yeah.

02:18But that's working for you.

02:19And that's great.

02:20Cause I feel like you can do that.

02:22Hopefully, you know, in the next couple of years, I'm going to take a break from touring,

02:24but touring the crowds have been so great and I want to get out there and tour while

02:28my kids are really young and they're able to come with me.

02:32They're not in school yet.

02:33I'm not going to miss too much at home.

02:35And while people are interested in coming to see us, I want to get out there and play

02:37cause I don't want to take that for granted.

02:39So yeah, totally.

02:40Well, the one thing where I wanted to say before we wrap up is I just, the other day

02:43you had posted something, it's been a couple of weeks now about Montvalo turning 10.

02:46I was just like, I can't believe, but you know, what's so cool about listening to that

02:50album, Sam, is that all of those songs still hold up.

02:53Like they're timeless.

02:54Well, thank you for saying that.

02:55That's gotta be wild for you to think about that 10 years, all the things that have happened.

02:57Yeah.

02:58It's wild.

02:59Um, those songs, I mean that, you know, talking about touring and folks still showing up,

03:04I mean, I've put out music since then, obviously, but that, that album is the anchor of my whole

03:09career.

03:10So, um, I'm just, uh, I'm grateful for those songs and that time in my life.

03:14Yeah.

03:15Sam, it's great to see you as always.

03:16Looking forward to hearing more new music.

03:17Thanks so much for stopping by.

03:18Good to see you too.

03:19Thanks for having me.

03:20Thanks for having me.

03:21Thanks for having me.
