00:00:00Hey, Mazzy, hey. Oh, I miss you so much. I miss you, too. How was your trip? It was good. It was
00:00:18good. I'm glad to be home, though. Oh, here. Is that me? Yeah, I even got your guitar. Oh, my goodness.
00:00:24I love you. She was so excited to see you. Here. Oh, hi. And so am I. Welcome home. I miss you, too. Hey, Pete. Welcome home, superstar. All right, let's do it. I got your back. Oh, thanks, guys. Let's go. So, I heard you brought the house down in Houston. It was such a good show. So fun. But you can't keep turning down these bigger tours for smaller gigs. Pete, you know, I can't be away from Mazzy that long. I'll take her with you.
00:00:54Look, you haven't been recording new music, and your catalog sales are dwindling. The label's getting antsy. I'm ducking their calls. I don't want to do that Christmas album. I have a meeting with them tomorrow morning, and I need to give them an answer they need to hear. This album is a good idea. Christmas songs are just, they're not in my wheelhouse. Make it your wheelhouse. There's something else you're not going to like, though. What? They want you to record with one of the other artists in their stable. Who? Derek Copeland.
00:01:24Derek Copeland? Who's Derek Copeland? Oh, girl. Come here. Let me educate you. From the boy band? Enigmatic? Yep.
00:01:37But, wait. He hasn't released new material in, like, a decade. And he's a pop star.
00:01:44He's one of their premier artists. He sold over five million albums worldwide.
00:01:49Yeah, back when CDs were used for more than drink coasters. No, I'm not doing it. I'm going to go back in the studio. I'll work on new material.
00:01:56Tess, if you don't record this Christmas album, they're going to drop you. Your contract's up December 31st.
00:02:03They're bluffing. Do you really want to find out? They want you in the studio tomorrow. Tomorrow? To sing what? Figure it out. We need to release this album by mid-December, the latest.
00:02:18Hey, look. You'd be getting back in the studio like you wanted. Just recording Christmas songs instead of new material.
00:02:24So, you want me to sing Christmas songs instead of spending time with my kid on Halloween?
00:02:33Glad to have you back. Studio tomorrow, 9.30.
00:02:38Bye, Pete. Yep.
00:02:40All right. Well, on that note, we have warm chocolate chip cookies waiting for you at home. God bless you.
00:02:47And I maybe picked up a bottle of your favorite wine.
00:02:50You are an angel sent from heaven. I know. Thank you, my friend.
00:02:55All right. I'll drive. Oh, thank you. All aboard.
00:03:08Hey. Hey. This is my little brother, the superstar. Help me out with this pie.
00:03:15What you do is put the berries in the pie. Can you handle that? I'll try.
00:03:19All right. How was your flight?
00:03:22That was fine. Shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, black-eyed peas, and cornbread.
00:03:28Mm-hmm. Seems a bit lazy for you, no?
00:03:30It's not as difficult as singing into a microphone.
00:03:34I'm just saying you're not going to get that coveted Michelin star doing fancy versions of Mom's recipes.
00:03:38Southern cuisine does not get its just due.
00:03:42But it will.
00:03:43Besides, you are never going to win any Grammys without recording new music.
00:03:48Oh, gosh.
00:03:50At least I kind of walked into that one, huh?
00:03:52Mm-hmm. A little bit.
00:03:53Hey, man. Thanks for letting me stay here while I make the album.
00:03:56Yeah, of course.
00:03:57I mean, I was perfectly happy staying at the Kern Plaza, but, you know, this will be okay.
00:04:01Well, it's a waste of money.
00:04:03Besides, I guess I like having you around.
00:04:06Just don't mess up my pie.
00:04:08And that's the ray of sunshine I remember.
00:04:09Hey, Ann.
00:04:11Hey, what's this guy in here?
00:04:13Oh, it is good to see you.
00:04:15It's so good to see you.
00:04:16Wow.
00:04:17I know.
00:04:17Look at you.
00:04:18Can you believe what your brother did to me?
00:04:20Oops.
00:04:21I hear you two in here antagonizing each other.
00:04:24Of course.
00:04:24I mean, you're both wonderful artists, okay?
00:04:27Mm-hmm.
00:04:29I'm going to be such a good mom.
00:04:30Did you hear that?
00:04:31Yeah, natural, baby.
00:04:33When did I need to be at the restaurant?
00:04:35Yeah, 20 minutes ago.
00:04:37Why are you spending all this time on a meal you're not even going to be here to eat?
00:04:41Because I do not want our baby eating frozen dinners.
00:04:44Ever.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:46That would be sweet if you weren't just trying to impress your brother.
00:04:48He is not the only one with talent in this family.
00:04:51I know.
00:04:52Smells good.
00:04:53Okay.
00:04:54So you like your grits to be more like cream of wheat.
00:04:56Interesting choice.
00:04:57Ah, he has jokes now.
00:04:59Keep working on that pie, guitar boy.
00:05:06It's good to see you, man.
00:05:08Yeah.
00:05:09You too.
00:05:18You're obsessed.
00:05:19It's Halloween.
00:05:20Christmas is the best holiday.
00:05:22Are you excited for your session today?
00:05:25Not really.
00:05:26I downloaded some of that Derek guy's music last night.
00:05:29He's not as good as you.
00:05:32Thanks, sweetie.
00:05:34Do you think that'll make it home for Thanksgiving?
00:05:35Um, well, let's see.
00:05:38His tour stop is Chicago the night before, so, yeah.
00:05:42I think he should be home in time.
00:05:43Can't wait to see the Christmas tree Dad gets us this year.
00:05:46Me too.
00:05:47But just a heads up, I think his band has to head back out right away afterwards, so I don't,
00:05:53I don't think he'll make it to your Christmas pageant.
00:05:55I'm really sorry, baby.
00:05:56What about you?
00:05:59Will you be there?
00:06:00Of course.
00:06:01I wouldn't miss it for anything.
00:06:02Okay, you finish that.
00:06:03Actually, just take it with you.
00:06:05It's fine.
00:06:05I got this.
00:06:06I can.
00:06:07Yes.
00:06:07Okay.
00:06:07I'll put you on.
00:06:08I'll put you on the mic.
00:06:08Happy Hub Day, listeners.
00:06:12This is DJ Randy with the word on the street.
00:06:14Seems that our very own country ingenue, Tess Stapleton, is in the studio right now with
00:06:20none other than bad boy, former boy bander, Mr. Enigmatic himself, Derek, the heartbreaker
00:06:28Copeland.
00:06:29The two have decided to put out a Christmas album just in time for the holiest of holidays.
00:06:33So, let's hope that this album puts us in the mood for some Christmas cookies and presents.
00:06:54Hey.
00:06:55Morning.
00:06:56Morning.
00:07:00You must be Tess.
00:07:03I'm, uh...
00:07:04Liam Gladstone.
00:07:06You're a living legend.
00:07:07It's a long time ago.
00:07:08They didn't tell me you'd be producing this.
00:07:10You produce hits for everybody.
00:07:12Dolly, Faith, Shania, Carrie Underwood.
00:07:15I gotta tell you, your work on Beggar's Banquet just changed the way I listen to music.
00:07:18Stop, please.
00:07:18No, it did.
00:07:19Really.
00:07:20I thought you were retired.
00:07:22Yeah, I get that a lot.
00:07:24When you've had as many failures as hits, sometimes the phone stops ringing, so...
00:07:28I hear that.
00:07:29This ain't gonna be one of those, though.
00:07:30Come on.
00:07:31Let me give you the nickel tour.
00:07:32Thanks.
00:07:33What do you think?
00:07:35Wow.
00:07:36Oh, wow.
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:37Now, Tess, the unique thing about this recording studio is that at one time it was actually a horse stable, thus stable doors.
00:07:45And amazing acoustics!
00:07:48You hear that?
00:07:49Yeah.
00:07:50Come on, I want to take you to ground zero.
00:07:58Welcome to Oz.
00:08:00Wow.
00:08:01This is sort of our main recording room.
00:08:02We do things a little differently here.
00:08:04Step in here is the mixing room.
00:08:07This is where the magic happens.
00:08:12Now, let's put your stuff down.
00:08:13You can relax a little bit.
00:08:14Let's get that heavy guitar out of your hands.
00:08:16You just want to set it down over there somewhere.
00:08:18You want some tea to loosen your pipes?
00:08:29I'm not sending you out for tea.
00:08:31No!
00:08:31Hell no.
00:08:32I got a guy that does that.
00:08:34Mint?
00:08:35With honey?
00:08:36Sure thing.
00:08:38You can just put the tea down there, please.
00:09:04I didn't bring any tea, but I can get you some.
00:09:08I'm so sorry.
00:09:09I thought you were somebody else.
00:09:11Hey.
00:09:15Are you okay?
00:09:20Mortified, but yes, I will live.
00:09:23I'm Derek.
00:09:24Tess.
00:09:25Hey.
00:09:26Nice to meet you.
00:09:27I'm a big fan of your work.
00:09:29Really?
00:09:29Yeah.
00:09:31That, wow, that's...
00:09:33What's your favorite song?
00:09:34That is so funny.
00:09:42You know, I actually don't have a song called, uh, I, uh, uh, uh.
00:09:47You don't have to pretend with me, okay?
00:09:49For the record, my favorite song of yours is Glass Jar.
00:09:52Not that anybody asked, but...
00:09:53How you been, old man?
00:09:57Still working, which in this business, I'll say you something.
00:10:00Tell me about it.
00:10:00Thank you, Neil.
00:10:01I would have thought I'd be doing a Christmas album, right?
00:10:04Hey, I'm just glad you're doing any album.
00:10:06Don't start.
00:10:07All right, here's the deal, you two.
00:10:08We got four weeks to record a Christmas record.
00:10:10Less than that if we're gonna pull any singles, so we gotta get started.
00:10:13Let's burn and turn.
00:10:14I'm gonna jump in the booth, y'all set up, and, uh, we'll get going.
00:10:16Don't you think we should talk about a song list first?
00:10:19Nope.
00:10:19We sing first, we think later.
00:10:21You know how it works.
00:10:22Let's go, let's go, let's go!
00:10:25Okay.
00:10:31Stay till I grow up
00:10:34Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:10:41You fellas ready out there?
00:10:43How about you, Tess and address?
00:10:44Yep.
00:10:45Hey, D. Coe, we gonna want and done this?
00:10:47Gonna try.
00:10:48All right.
00:10:50What are we gonna sing?
00:10:51Deck the halls.
00:10:52Sounds good.
00:10:58Deck the halls with boughs of poly
00:11:01Ba-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
00:11:05Tis the season to be job
00:11:08Ba-la-la-la-la
00:11:10Wait, wait, wait.
00:11:12What?
00:11:12What's wrong?
00:11:14Uh, nothing.
00:11:15I'm sorry, it was me.
00:11:16I thought I was out of the pocket.
00:11:17No, everything sounded great.
00:11:18Hey, let me call those notes.
00:11:20You just worry about decking the halls.
00:11:22Sorry, guys.
00:11:22It's all right.
00:11:23All right.
00:11:28Deck the halls with boughs of poly
00:11:31Ba-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
00:11:34Tis the season to be job
00:11:38Ba-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:11:40Wait, wait, wait.
00:11:42Hey, Derek, do me a favor.
00:11:44Just close your eyes, take a deep breath.
00:11:46We're starting nice and easy here.
00:11:48It's all fun and games until we get ahead.
00:11:50Let's do three on the board.
00:11:52Hey, you got this.
00:12:01Deck the halls with boughs of poly
00:12:04Ba-la-la-la-la-la
00:12:06Ba-la-la-la-la-la
00:12:07Tis the season to be job
00:12:11Ba-la-la-la-la
00:12:13Ba-la-la-la-la-la
00:12:14Don't we now our gay apparel, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:12:22To the ancient yuletide carol, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:12:29Yeah!
00:12:33Yeah!
00:12:38Okay, Tess, you're up.
00:12:40Now just relax and breathe, and just lose yourself in the song.
00:12:44I'm not so concerned about a technical take.
00:12:46I'd rather have emotion than perfection, if you know what I mean.
00:12:49Yeah.
00:12:49All right, let's take one Deck the Halls vocal track.
00:12:52Okay, cool.
00:12:54Deck the Halls with boughs of holly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
00:13:01Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
00:13:08Don't we now our gay apparel, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:13:13So awful...
00:13:15Dangerous.
00:13:17Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la, fa-la-la-la-la-la
00:13:21Looks like we have a new one-take champion on our hands.
00:13:24Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:13:26That's good.
00:13:28Come on in.
00:13:29Yep.
00:13:29All right.
00:13:30Hey, what'd you guys think?
00:13:37Well, let me and Chris work our magic and futz with it a little bit, but it sounded real good in here.
00:13:41Yep, it's getting a bit late.
00:13:42Well, why don't you two clear out of here for the day and come up with some other songs for this record,
00:13:46and I imagine it ain't gonna be as easy as that last one.
00:13:49All right, still time for trick-or-treating.
00:13:51Aren't you too old for candy?
00:13:54Who's too old for candy?
00:13:57Who's too old for candy?
00:13:58It's a good song title.
00:14:00All right, let's see what we got here.
00:14:03Oh, my gosh, crazy.
00:14:05What's crazy?
00:14:06I know, I know.
00:14:08Okay, Maddie, my love, pick five pieces and then it's off to bed, okay?
00:14:11But we just got hot.
00:14:14Whoa.
00:14:16Ten.
00:14:18Six.
00:14:19It's fast time.
00:14:20Off you go.
00:14:21What is that?
00:14:22What?
00:14:23Yeah, I didn't see that coming.
00:14:24Maddie gets bigger every time I come home.
00:14:26I swear, it's like she grows a half an inch every day I'm away.
00:14:29You're a great mother.
00:14:31No, you do your best to raise her as a single parent and provide all the love and support that any kid could ever want.
00:14:38You are too hard on yourself.
00:14:40Hmm, I guess.
00:14:42So, what's the dreamboat like?
00:14:45Who?
00:14:46How many dreamboats are you working with?
00:14:48I fell on him today.
00:14:52You lucky duck.
00:14:54Let's switch lives.
00:14:56You can't sing and I can't design my way out of a paper bag.
00:14:58That is true.
00:14:59Mm-hmm.
00:15:00How was recording, though?
00:15:02It's funny.
00:15:03As soon as we started singing, he faltered.
00:15:05It was like he was afraid of the mic.
00:15:07Which is weird.
00:15:07You'd think he'd be more cocky.
00:15:08I mean, he has sold more albums than I can only dream of.
00:15:12Did you get to see his sensitive side?
00:15:15That just makes me love him more.
00:15:17I don't need him to be sensitive.
00:15:18I need him to be confident.
00:15:19I need this album to work.
00:15:21Look, it's been a while.
00:15:22Maybe he's just rusty.
00:15:24Trust the process.
00:15:25It will all work out.
00:15:26Okay, Oprah.
00:15:27You have to go home because I have to go to bed so I can wake up and be Christmas-teartastic in the morning.
00:15:32Christmas-teartastic.
00:15:33Go!
00:15:33Get out of here!
00:15:34Christmas-teartastic.
00:15:36Yes, take all of these.
00:15:38Really?
00:15:38Well, no.
00:15:40That one, too.
00:15:40Bye!
00:15:41Bye!
00:15:41Bye.
00:16:11Bye.
00:16:41Bye.
00:16:51So, I listened to your albums last night.
00:16:58You did?
00:17:00Yeah.
00:17:01What did you think?
00:17:03All your songs are fun, but they have this underbelly to them.
00:17:08Let me guess, Kaleidoscope's your favorite track.
00:17:13Yeah, sure, that one's catchy and it's a great single, but honestly, Geronimo is the best song you've ever recorded.
00:17:22Seriously?
00:17:23Yeah, yeah.
00:17:25The way you lay your sound, the haunting vocals, and those lyrics about being on the precipice of the abyss spoke to me.
00:17:34That song was actually the only one in the last two albums that I wrote.
00:17:39You gotta write more.
00:17:42Hey, that was a good session yesterday, y'all. I think that track just might make the album.
00:17:46Did you ever come up with a list of other songs you wanna record?
00:17:48Yeah, you know, actually, I think we should do originals. Put our own stamp on the album.
00:17:52Why risk it on a bunch of songs that no one's ever heard of? Let's just stick to the standards, and we can put our own twist of them.
00:17:59Well, you just literally told me I should write more, so...
00:18:02I mean, on your own album, not on this one.
00:18:04Okay, before we get ahead of ourselves, I think we need to decide what the sound of this record's gonna be.
00:18:09Yeah, we need a clean and polished sound for the record, right?
00:18:13No, I think it needs to have a more organic live vibe to it.
00:18:16People stream music on $5 speakers now. It needs to be as clean as possible to stick out above the fray.
00:18:22I think we should let the recording process dictate the sound.
00:18:25Of course you do.
00:18:26What does that mean?
00:18:27What does that mean?
00:18:28Okay, all right, all right. Here's what we're gonna do.
00:18:30There's only one way to settle this. We're gonna have a bake-off.
00:18:32That means you both go in the booth, and we record, uh, let's say Silent Night.
00:18:36One raw and dirty, and one clean and pure.
00:18:39And we'll listen back and decide.
00:18:41Mrs. Copeland, you're first.
00:18:43I'm first?
00:18:45Well, it was your idea.
00:18:48It wasn't planned.
00:18:50Silent night, holy night.
00:18:56All is calm, all is bright.
00:19:06Round yon virgin, mother and child.
00:19:13Holy infant so tender and mild.
00:19:21Silent night, holy night.
00:19:31Shepherds quake at the sight.
00:19:37Worry streamed from heaven afar.
00:19:47Heavenly hosts sing hallelujah.
00:19:52Okay, kids, let's see who wins this argument.
00:19:59Go ahead, Chris, let's play back one.
00:20:02Silent night, holy night.
00:20:09All is calm.
00:20:10That's nice.
00:20:11That's your number two.
00:20:12Silent night, holy night.
00:20:13Shepherds quake at the sight.
00:20:17That's good.
00:20:19That's good.
00:20:20How about, on some of the songs, we go for that slick produce sound, and then on the more emotional, majestic ones, we capture that raw, gritty live feel.
00:20:32I can live with that.
00:20:33Me too.
00:20:34I cannot referee every little small decision between you two.
00:20:38If you don't get on the same page, we're not going to have an album to even talk about.
00:20:45So why don't you all get out of here and get to know each other a little bit better.
00:20:48Bond talk about Christmas or Tweeter or whatever it is you talk about, and I'll work with Chris and we'll finish this thing.
00:20:57Now.
00:20:58Okay.
00:20:59At this moment.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:01Yes, leaving.
00:21:02Currently leaving.
00:21:03Thank you, Liam.
00:21:05Thank you, Liam.
00:21:09Thank you, Liam.
00:21:18Bring me back plain of ribs, will you?
00:21:21All right.
00:21:22They're gone now.
00:21:23Let's get some work done.
00:21:24So was that little girl in Portland always dreaming of making the big move to Music City,
00:21:29USA?
00:21:30Well, my ex is here.
00:21:32My daughter was born here.
00:21:34You know, the music's here, so.
00:21:36That's why you went trick-or-treating.
00:21:39So how long were you married for?
00:21:42Diving right into the deep end, aren't we?
00:21:45I'm just curious.
00:21:46Mm-hmm.
00:21:47I was almost married once, if it's any consolation.
00:21:50Really?
00:21:51Yeah, she was the love of my life, I thought.
00:21:55Hmm.
00:21:56What happened?
00:21:59Marie was my best friend.
00:22:01Trevor's, too.
00:22:02Your bandmate?
00:22:03Marie.
00:22:04Marie.
00:22:05We had this love that was organic, passionate, kind.
00:22:10Mm-hmm.
00:22:11But she also loved Trevor.
00:22:15Platonic at first.
00:22:17And then...
00:22:19Romantic.
00:22:20I just wanted things to go back to normal.
00:22:24Back to the way they were.
00:22:25And then when I asked her who she wanted to be with...
00:22:31She didn't choose you.
00:22:36And then I lost it.
00:22:39And then the band broke up.
00:22:41Sometimes things don't work out the way you expect.
00:22:49And I haven't been in a serious relationship since, so...
00:22:52What about you?
00:22:53What's your story?
00:22:54I was young, dumb, fell in love with a roadie.
00:22:58Roadie?
00:22:59Mm-hmm.
00:23:00Yeah.
00:23:01Wow.
00:23:02Yeah.
00:23:03It was my first tour.
00:23:04I was opening for Alabama Shakes.
00:23:05Nice.
00:23:06I showed up for soundcheck, and he was tuning their guitars.
00:23:10He saw me watching him, and he broke out in a Prince riff.
00:23:14Show up.
00:23:15Oh, yeah.
00:23:16He nailed it, though.
00:23:17I was in love before I knew what hit me.
00:23:20Jake, he has more talent asleep than most people exhibit
00:23:23in their entire career.
00:23:25But he doesn't have the desire or the drive to do anything
00:23:28about his own music, which is okay.
00:23:30It's just Mazzy came along.
00:23:32Oh, and then you used security.
00:23:33And stability.
00:23:34Mm-hmm.
00:23:35And then we booked different tours.
00:23:36You weren't spending the time.
00:23:38We just lived it on the vine, you know.
00:23:41I mean, Jake is my best friend.
00:23:43He's a great dad to Mazzy.
00:23:45It's just...
00:23:47He's not a good partner.
00:23:48When you date another artist,
00:23:50you end up dating their careers, too.
00:23:55Yeah.
00:24:04What?
00:24:05The label wants us on DJ Randy in the morning
00:24:07to talk about the album.
00:24:08Uh, so soon?
00:24:09Mm-hmm.
00:24:10They want to promote it,
00:24:11and DJ Randy's the biggest influencer in Nashville.
00:24:13We should get back to the studio.
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15And get some rest.
00:24:16Early start tomorrow.
00:24:17Yeah.
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:19And get some rest.
00:24:20Early start tomorrow.
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:25Burlington was creating...
00:24:26...dynamic duo in town.
00:24:27Guys, welcome to the show.
00:24:28I'm a big fan.
00:24:29Oh, thank you.
00:24:30Appreciate it.
00:24:31Good to be here.
00:24:32Derek, Saturn Records has dusted you off the shelves.
00:24:35Where have you been hiding this whole time?
00:24:37You know how it is.
00:24:38You get success young,
00:24:39you meet the road,
00:24:40you're having the time of your life,
00:24:41and then after a few years or ten,
00:24:43you've seen it all, you've done it all,
00:24:45and then you just get burned out.
00:24:47Took a sabbatical.
00:24:48You could say that.
00:24:49Where'd you go?
00:24:50Uh, here, there, everywhere.
00:24:54An international man of mystery.
00:24:56And Tess, you just got off tour with the Dixie Chicks.
00:24:59Yeah, yeah, I did.
00:25:00It was just the last few dates.
00:25:01So, guys, how's the album coming?
00:25:03What's the sound?
00:25:04Country.
00:25:05Pop country?
00:25:06Is that new genre?
00:25:07It is now.
00:25:08It'll be definitely more country, though.
00:25:10Maybe both.
00:25:11Give the fans what they want.
00:25:13Well, you better figure it out soon.
00:25:15So, what sort of songs are you working on?
00:25:17Original material.
00:25:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:19You guys in the same studio?
00:25:20I mean, what's it like working together?
00:25:22Great.
00:25:23It's been awesome getting to record with Tess.
00:25:25Yeah, yeah.
00:25:26Every day's been a real treat.
00:25:27Am I sensing some tension in the studio?
00:25:30No, no, no, no.
00:25:31Not necessarily, no, no.
00:25:32I mean, some days are better than others.
00:25:34Wow, you are in fuego today.
00:25:36So, guys, what's the name of the album going to be?
00:25:38It's still a work in progress, Randy.
00:25:40I think it should be called Country Christmas Album.
00:25:43Well, it's either going to be charming or it's going to be a train wreck.
00:25:46This is DJ Randy on 102 FM The Mix.
00:25:49Give us a call to talk to these cool cats after the job.
00:25:54Woo!
00:25:55That was awesome, guys.
00:25:56I loved the drama there.
00:25:57It was amazing.
00:25:58I mean, like, you and you and, oh, that's what we do.
00:26:01I mean, I can't wait to hear the album.
00:26:04Excuse me.
00:26:08Hello?
00:26:09What was that?
00:26:10What?
00:26:11Don't what me.
00:26:12You know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:26:13You don't think the label was listening to today's little interview?
00:26:16Do you think it was that bad?
00:26:18You were going to destroy what little career you have left.
00:26:20Well, you're booking us on promo tours and the album's not even halfway done.
00:26:24You know what happens to an album nobody's ever heard of?
00:26:26Coasters.
00:26:27DJ Randy is a troublemaker.
00:26:29Of course he is.
00:26:30Now, there's no such thing as bad publicity,
00:26:32but just don't piss off the label.
00:26:34Otherwise, kiss your deal goodbye.
00:26:36I hear you.
00:26:37I sure hope so.
00:26:39Oh, oh, oh, right there.
00:26:41Right there.
00:26:42Oh, yeah.
00:26:47What was that, by the way?
00:26:48I am sorry.
00:26:49I just, I guess I was in rare form.
00:26:51Were you trying to sell an album or tank it?
00:26:54Look, I just got reamed out by my manager.
00:26:56I don't need this from you right now.
00:26:58Your manager isn't the one promoting this album with you.
00:27:01We have an opportunity to make some great music, right?
00:27:04Don't mess it up by self-sabotaging.
00:27:06Okay.
00:27:07All right, all right.
00:27:08You two, come on now.
00:27:09What's life without a few hiccups along the way?
00:27:11I'll tell you what it is.
00:27:12It's boring.
00:27:13I'm loving this fire and passion, but let's use that and turn it into a killer Christmas record, okay?
00:27:18I'm going to jump back there.
00:27:19We're going to get started.
00:27:20What are we singing?
00:27:2112 days.
00:27:22These lyrics are from the Stone Age.
00:27:24You think you could do better?
00:27:26Yeah, I do.
00:27:28Oh, DJ Randy is such a little pot stirrer.
00:27:53But you did not have to give him a bat and a ladle.
00:27:56You heard the interview?
00:27:57Oh, yeah.
00:27:58Any chance to listen to Derek's dulcet tones.
00:28:01Today was rough.
00:28:02Pete was not happy with that interview.
00:28:04Well, there'll be others.
00:28:06Yeah.
00:28:07Derek thinks I'm a self-saboteur.
00:28:09Yeah.
00:28:10No.
00:28:11An eighth grade.
00:28:12No.
00:28:13An eighth grade.
00:28:14I'm not.
00:28:15I plead the fifth.
00:28:17You know what you need after a horrible day?
00:28:21What?
00:28:22Dancing?
00:28:23I know.
00:28:24I want to.
00:28:25I can't.
00:28:26I have Mazzy.
00:28:27Oh, she's got to be in bed in an hour anyway.
00:28:29We can text Jenny to sit.
00:28:31Jenny's good.
00:28:32The chuck wagon is having a secret Santa singles party tonight.
00:28:37No, no, no, no.
00:28:38It's not even Thanksgiving.
00:28:39Oh, it's the season.
00:28:41Ho, ho, ho.
00:28:42You know you want to go.
00:28:44I have to be in the studio in the morning.
00:28:46Oh, okay.
00:28:47We will go for two hours.
00:28:50Tops.
00:28:51Put this on.
00:28:52Oh, I love this dress.
00:28:55Yes.
00:28:56Okay.
00:28:57You win.
00:28:58Fine.
00:28:59We're going.
00:29:00Two hours.
00:29:01Tops.
00:29:02Let me hide.
00:29:04Cool.
00:29:05Hey, Derek.
00:29:06Can you take this little for me?
00:29:07If that works for you.
00:29:08That's great.
00:29:09Thanks.
00:29:11Nice of you to join us.
00:29:12Twelve days.
00:29:13Why are you walking like a duck?
00:29:14Dancer's life.
00:29:15That's not a thing.
00:29:16You smell like a brew pub.
00:29:17I do not.
00:29:18Your 12 days lyrics are really more contemporary now, though.
00:29:21Are you going to be able to sing today?
00:29:22Oh, yeah.
00:29:23There you go, senor.
00:29:24You sure you're okay?
00:29:26Okay, people.
00:29:27Let's get this Christmas party started, huh?
00:29:28See if we can get this in one take.
00:29:29We're burning money.
00:29:30You start.
00:29:31Well, this ought to be interesting.
00:29:32Let's do it.
00:29:33Let's do it.
00:29:34Oh, yeah.
00:29:35That's really cool.
00:29:36You don't know if we can get this in one take.
00:29:37I'm going to go to the door.
00:29:38You're probably a more contemporary now, though.
00:29:39Are you going to be able to sing today?
00:29:40Oh, yeah.
00:29:41There you go, senor.
00:29:42You sure you're okay?
00:29:43Okay, people.
00:29:44Let's get this Christmas party started, huh?
00:29:45Let's get this Christmas party started, huh?
00:29:48See if we can get this in one take.
00:29:50We're burning money.
00:29:51You start.
00:29:54You start well, this ought to be interesting
00:30:24My true love gave to me
00:30:26Three French kisses, two black rubs
00:30:28And a bowl I filled with glee
00:30:31On the fourth day of Christmas
00:30:35My true love gave to me
00:30:36Four fat pods, three French kisses
00:30:39Two black rubs and a bowl I filled with glee
00:30:44All right
00:30:49Well, that sounded surprisingly good
00:30:51Yeah, so I didn't think you were going to make it
00:30:54Congrats
00:30:55Me neither
00:30:55Hey, Derek, why don't you take Miss Tess down to the diner
00:30:59And put some food in her belly
00:31:00We got a lot of work today
00:31:01And I'm going to need her conscience later, okay?
00:31:03That's a good idea
00:31:04Yeah
00:31:05Let's go
00:31:05Good job, sweetheart
00:31:07Good job, fellas
00:31:08Good job, guys
00:31:10See you in a bit
00:31:11Thank you
00:31:19Yeah
00:31:20I'm so hungry
00:31:23That's good
00:31:24Yeah
00:31:24No, I love it
00:31:25Best cure for dancers, Lex
00:31:32Hummingbird cake
00:31:34Oh
00:31:35And ribs
00:31:37Okay
00:31:40Excuse me
00:31:42Two coffees
00:31:43Two hummingbird cakes
00:31:44And ribs for the lady
00:31:46I
00:31:49I really am sorry about yesterday
00:31:54It's water under the bridge
00:31:57You really came through in those 12 days lyrics
00:32:01Thank you
00:32:02Thank you
00:32:05Do you think
00:32:07We could have at least one original track on the album?
00:32:15Yeah
00:32:16If you write it
00:32:18You can
00:32:19Yeah
00:32:19What are you thinking?
00:32:21Something up-tempo?
00:32:22Christmas dance song?
00:32:24No
00:32:24No
00:32:25No, I think like a
00:32:27A love song
00:32:29Oh, really?
00:32:31Is this the one you like?
00:32:35Thank you
00:32:36Thank you
00:32:36What?
00:32:39Don't ask questions, just eat
00:32:41Yeah
00:32:47This will do
00:32:48An old love?
00:32:53No
00:32:53I'm not trying to bribe
00:32:56I'm just trying to get a sense of what this Christmas love song is about
00:32:59Falling out of love
00:33:01Like last Christmas
00:33:03No, I think
00:33:05Falling in love
00:33:08When was the last time you fell in love?
00:33:14It's been a while
00:33:15What do you feel like?
00:33:24Like
00:33:24Being pulled out in an undertow
00:33:28And then washing up on shore
00:33:30Sounds intense
00:33:35Do you think our fans are going to like this album?
00:33:39They will if they know it's good for them
00:33:41Yeah
00:33:43You think I should tell them that I'm living with my brother
00:33:45In his spare bedroom while we make this album?
00:33:47Mm-hmm
00:33:47You think it'll make me more relatable?
00:33:49Oh, yeah
00:33:49Mm-hmm
00:33:49Well
00:33:51My ex-husband Jake lives with Masley and I
00:33:53Whenever he comes into town
00:33:54And we've been divorced for three years
00:33:56Really?
00:33:59Mm-hmm
00:34:00Yeah, I mean
00:34:00He's on the road so much
00:34:03It just makes more sense
00:34:03Good to have him on deck for some midnight snuggling
00:34:06There is none of that
00:34:09That arrangement must wreak havoc on your dating life
00:34:12What do you mean?
00:34:18How is somebody supposed to get close to you with your back up in the next room?
00:34:24Oh, hello
00:34:26Speak of the devil
00:34:38Hey
00:34:40You smell like Cleveland
00:34:48Well, you look like Hawaii
00:34:51Like a storm coming in off the water
00:34:55No, I mean beautiful
00:34:58Don't start
00:35:00How long are you staying for?
00:35:08It's the day after Thanksgiving
00:35:10Masley will be excited
00:35:13How about you?
00:35:17Let's get you settled in
00:35:28Hey, so Tessa's ex
00:35:31Stays with her and Masley
00:35:33Whenever he comes into town
00:35:34Does she think that's weird?
00:35:37Not really
00:35:37No
00:35:38How are you supposed to get over someone
00:35:40If you live with them?
00:35:43You like her
00:35:44Don't be absurd, dude
00:35:46Oh, you do
00:35:47You like her, like her
00:35:49Hey, Ange
00:35:50Wake up your wife just to make fun of me
00:35:51No, this is worth it
00:35:52And hilarious
00:35:53Ange, get in here
00:35:54I'm not in love with Tess
00:35:56You do realize
00:35:57All you do is talk about her, right?
00:35:59You're crazy
00:35:59You're crazy
00:36:00She's a single mom, Derek
00:36:02Okay, well, hold on
00:36:04What's that supposed to mean?
00:36:05It just means that
00:36:06It's been a long time
00:36:08Since you've been in a relationship
00:36:10Or had a commitment
00:36:11And kids are a big commitment
00:36:13You don't have a pet
00:36:15Or a houseplant
00:36:16You really think
00:36:17You could have two females
00:36:18In your life
00:36:19And really nurture that
00:36:20Who is doing all the yelling
00:36:23In here, you two?
00:36:24Yeah, great job
00:36:25Yeah
00:36:25Oh, nothing sexier
00:36:27Than a man with tools
00:36:28In his hand
00:36:29I knew you'd think so
00:36:30Hey, guess who
00:36:33Derek is in life with
00:36:35Stop it
00:36:36Let's see
00:36:38Okay, alright
00:36:39Sound like
00:36:40Yeah
00:36:41Sounds a little like
00:36:42Mads
00:36:43You ready for bed yet, kiddo?
00:36:48Just one more time, please
00:36:50Really?
00:36:52Again?
00:36:53Come on
00:36:54Not a problem
00:36:55Not a problem, darling
00:36:56The night before Christmas
00:36:59T'was the night before Christmas
00:37:04And all through the house
00:37:06Not a creature was stirring
00:37:09Not even a mouse
00:37:11The stockings were hung
00:37:14By the chimney with care
00:37:16In hopes that St. Nicholas
00:37:19Soon
00:37:19Would be there
00:37:21Oh, thank you
00:37:23You know, she is getting so big
00:37:26Yeah
00:37:27How's that Christmas album coming?
00:37:34Okay
00:37:34Is that all I'm gonna get?
00:37:39Tess, the country purist
00:37:41And Derek Copeland, the pop star
00:37:43Cut an album
00:37:43I'm certain you have opinions
00:37:46Okay
00:37:47Some days I want to kill him
00:37:50And then other days
00:37:50I just think he's
00:37:51So talented
00:37:53I don't know
00:37:55It's weird
00:37:56It's complicated
00:37:56Sounds like it
00:37:59What?
00:38:01Well
00:38:01You can't say his name
00:38:03Without smiling
00:38:04That's not true
00:38:07Go ahead
00:38:09Say his name without smiling
00:38:11Derek
00:38:15Well, you look like
00:38:18You're about to have an aneurysm
00:38:19No, he's not my type
00:38:21He's just
00:38:21He's spoiled
00:38:22He's entitled
00:38:23No
00:38:24Uh-huh
00:38:25Do you think I want to be doing a Christmas album?
00:38:29At least you're in the studio
00:38:30I mean, ten years ago
00:38:32When we were first starting out
00:38:33We would have killed
00:38:34For some free studio time
00:38:36Remember?
00:38:37Yeah
00:38:38I do
00:38:40We've come a long way
00:38:42Hey
00:38:53Hey
00:38:53You want to try that original track today?
00:38:57It's not ready
00:38:58You can't be precious about it
00:39:00You're going to need to release that baby to the world so people can hear it
00:39:04And
00:39:05Soon
00:39:06I know
00:39:07Let's just give it a go
00:39:09What's the worst thing that can happen?
00:39:12You guys hate it?
00:39:15What do we know anyways?
00:39:17Let's give it a try
00:39:18Okay, Tessie
00:39:22Your turn to shine
00:39:23We've got Winter Wonderland on the board
00:39:25Take one
00:39:25Snowflakes falling in the air
00:39:31Like diamonds shining in your hair
00:39:33You call my name
00:39:34All I can do is stare
00:39:36Cause Christmas time means miracles
00:39:39And lights make you so beautiful
00:39:41And mistletoe is hanging everywhere
00:39:44I could walk every mile around this world
00:39:49But nothing would compare
00:39:52To growing old
00:39:56With you
00:39:58In this winter
00:40:01Wonderland
00:40:03In this winter
00:40:04Wonderland
00:40:07I could fall in love again
00:40:11With you
00:40:13Stay warm by the fireside
00:40:19Lands reflecting in your eyes
00:40:21For keeping in your eyes
00:40:23Hey!
00:40:28Hey, you!
00:40:30Hey, girl!
00:40:31How you doing here?
00:40:32Nothing
00:40:32Aw!
00:40:33Well, we just figured we'd come see you at work
00:40:35Aw!
00:40:35Is that a new song?
00:40:37Yeah!
00:40:37Did you like it?
00:40:38Of course!
00:40:39Oh!
00:40:39Thank you!
00:40:40Yeah!
00:40:42I'm Jay
00:40:42Derek
00:40:43Copeland
00:40:44You don't have to say anything else
00:40:46Every woman over 35 knows who you are
00:40:48Now this is our amazing daughter, Mazzy
00:40:52Hey, Mazzy
00:40:53Nice to meet you
00:40:56Your mom talks about you all the time
00:40:57My mom's favorite song of yours is
00:40:59Love you to the max
00:41:00Oh, really?
00:41:01No, it's not
00:41:02Yes, it is
00:41:03I've been listening to Endingmatic on Spotify
00:41:06It's on her treadmill workout mix
00:41:07It's around until you're 18
00:41:09Whatever
00:41:10That's all right
00:41:11I'll break you out of Katie Jail
00:41:12Thanks
00:41:13Um, do you want to come over for Thanksgiving?
00:41:22What?
00:41:23Come on
00:41:24You know, he probably has plans or something anyways
00:41:29And he can't come over for Thanksgiving
00:41:31Well, do you have plans?
00:41:33I do have family in town
00:41:35Well, then you bring them
00:41:37Oh!
00:41:38Oh, Mazzy
00:41:39What?
00:41:40The spirit of Christmas told me to invite him
00:41:42Mazzy loves Christmas
00:41:45More than my birthday, and that's a big deal
00:41:47Wow
00:41:48Uh, more the merrier
00:41:52So, how
00:41:58You ready for that Christmas pageant?
00:42:00I'm still a bit nervous
00:42:02You are
00:42:03Well, let's see if we can't do something about that
00:42:05How about a new capo?
00:42:08That's a nice one
00:42:09Nothing but the best for our little artist
00:42:11Thanks, Dad
00:42:12So, Mazzy
00:42:15What was all that Thanksgiving business earlier?
00:42:17He seemed lonely
00:42:18Oh, did he?
00:42:19Hmm
00:42:20Well, Maz
00:42:20He has a family
00:42:22And probably a girlfriend
00:42:24Hopefully
00:42:26Yeah
00:42:26But family has to hang out with him
00:42:29I wanted him to feel like people wanted to spend time with him
00:42:32Definitely gets that from you
00:42:34And you worked up quite an appetite for it with Derek today
00:42:38No, I'm not talking with you about this
00:42:41No, that's not a bad look on you, though
00:42:44What?
00:42:47Happiness
00:42:48Well, yeah, I think the album's in trial, right?
00:42:52Oh, yeah
00:42:53Yeah
00:42:54Album
00:42:55Thank you, sir
00:42:58Hey
00:43:05It's me?
00:43:06Oh, yeah
00:43:07Tons
00:43:07So
00:43:11I met her ex
00:43:13Really?
00:43:15Yeah
00:43:15How did that go?
00:43:18Awkward
00:43:18Yeah
00:43:20It was like two rams sizing each other up getting ready to lock horns
00:43:24It's not a great look
00:43:26It's not a great look
00:43:26Yeah
00:43:26But her daughter invited me over for Thanksgiving
00:43:28Huh?
00:43:30Yeah
00:43:31You gonna go?
00:43:32I don't know
00:43:32Might be rude not to, man
00:43:34Yeah
00:43:35Especially if you're trying to date her mom
00:43:38Shut it
00:43:39I'm just saying
00:43:40You guys could come with me
00:43:44No, it's a busy night at the restaurant
00:43:47It's a prefix menu
00:43:49And you said yourself a monkey could execute that
00:43:51Do not use my words against me
00:43:53What about Angela?
00:43:56Huh?
00:43:57This is when she loves to cook
00:43:58Are you gonna put a woman
00:44:00Who's eight months pregnant on her feet for 12 hours
00:44:03Cooking you a meal?
00:44:06What is this?
00:44:06The Stone Age?
00:44:08Okay, fine
00:44:09We will join you at your new girlfriend's house for Thanksgiving
00:44:13She's not my girlfriend
00:44:15Yet
00:44:16You have outdone yourself, lady
00:44:23Oh, they're here
00:44:24Really?
00:44:25Yes
00:44:25Coming
00:44:26Hey
00:44:29Welcome
00:44:30Hey
00:44:31Come on in
00:44:33Hey, guys
00:44:34Hello
00:44:34Come on in
00:44:36Yeah
00:44:36Christina
00:44:38Hey, this is Derek
00:44:40Derek, this is my best friend Christina
00:44:41Hi
00:44:42Charmed, I'm sure
00:44:43I'm sorry, I'm a huge fan
00:44:46Thanks
00:44:47You remember that tour that Enigmatic did with Christina Aguilera?
00:44:51Parts of it
00:44:51How do you like Nashville so far?
00:44:54It's been really nice
00:44:56Cool
00:44:57Let me know if you want somebody to show you around town
00:44:59You know, somebody hot, single
00:45:01Thank you
00:45:02Are you dating anyone?
00:45:04This is my brother Mike and his wife Angela
00:45:06Oh, hey
00:45:07It's so nice to meet you guys
00:45:08She has told me so much about you
00:45:10No, no, not really
00:45:12Hey, hi
00:45:13Congrats
00:45:13Hi, Derek
00:45:14Hey, Mazzy, I brought you a gift
00:45:16A nap and calendar
00:45:17Thanks
00:45:18Okay, that is so sweet
00:45:19But I'm going to take that
00:45:20Otherwise, December will be eaten before Black Friday
00:45:22Uh-oh
00:45:23Yeah
00:45:23Okay, who's hungry?
00:45:25That'd be me
00:45:26I am
00:45:26Starving
00:45:28I want to make a toast
00:45:40Oh
00:45:41To friends old and new
00:45:44To people tried and true
00:45:46Break the bread and drink the brew
00:45:48Happy Thanksgiving from me to you
00:45:52That's very great
00:45:53Happy Thanksgiving
00:45:54Thank you
00:45:55Perfect
00:45:55I like that
00:45:56Thank you
00:45:57I like that
00:45:57I'd like to toast our beautiful hostess, if I may
00:46:01Oh, you may
00:46:02I want to express my gratitude to Tess
00:46:05And, of course, Mazzy
00:46:07For inviting me and my family to join you on this holiday
00:46:11I don't think either of us could have guessed that we'd end up here
00:46:16Sharing a meal with our families
00:46:18But I'm thankful that the record label brought us together
00:46:20You've helped me rediscover my love for music
00:46:25And I'm grateful for the time that we've spent together
00:46:29And the time's still to come
00:46:32Oh, good grief
00:46:34To Tess
00:46:34To Tess?
00:46:36Cheers
00:46:37Cheers
00:46:38Cheers
00:46:38Cheers
00:46:40Cheers
00:46:42Come on
00:46:43Let's eat, yes
00:46:45Everybody, uh
00:46:45Dig in, yeah
00:46:46Oh, thank you
00:46:47Mazzy, we eat the corn
00:46:48Yeah
00:46:49Absolutely, yeah
00:46:51Oh, man
00:46:52I'm so full
00:46:53Yeah, but so good
00:46:54Yeah
00:46:55Seriously
00:46:55Oh, Tess, thank you
00:46:57It was a wonderful evening
00:46:58But I need to get this one home
00:47:00Yes, we had a great time
00:47:02But I am tuckered
00:47:03Thanks for coming
00:47:05You were wonderful
00:47:06Thank you
00:47:06Thank you
00:47:07I'll stay to help with the dishes
00:47:08Yeah, of course you will
00:47:10Food was amazing
00:47:12Thank you
00:47:13Coming from you, I know that's a lie
00:47:14But thank you
00:47:16Good night, guys
00:47:17All right
00:47:20All right
00:47:21I am going to beg off, too
00:47:23Oh, yeah?
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:24I got a hot date tonight
00:47:26Tonight?
00:47:27There are lots of lonely single guys out there looking to start families
00:47:31Oh, single Santa
00:47:32Number 23
00:47:34Oh, oh, okay
00:47:36Good luck
00:47:37Um, it was nice to meet you
00:47:40Bye
00:47:41Mom, here he comes
00:47:45Okay
00:47:46So, every year after Thanksgiving dinner, Jake sets up the tree
00:47:50May I present this year's Christmas tree?
00:47:59It's finally time for Christmas
00:48:02Maybe I should go
00:48:04This feels like a family moment
00:48:06No, no, no, no, no
00:48:07Please, no
00:48:08As soon as Jake pulled out the tree, I am pretty much invisible to them
00:48:11Stay
00:48:12Keep me company
00:48:15All right
00:48:18Thanks for dinner
00:48:33You're welcome
00:48:34That's it
00:48:38Sounds amazing
00:48:41Your brother and his wife seem nice
00:48:44They are
00:48:45Creamably so
00:48:46Jake seems
00:48:49Nice
00:48:51He's harmless
00:48:53He's a big kid, but
00:48:55He's a great father
00:48:56That's good
00:48:59Mm-hmm
00:49:00For Mazzy, I mean
00:49:02Yeah
00:49:02What's good for you?
00:49:08What do you mean?
00:49:11In a partner
00:49:11What works for you?
00:49:16Dependable
00:49:18Sure
00:49:20Stable
00:49:21Loving
00:49:23Supportive
00:49:24Loves Mazzy
00:49:27It's all standard
00:49:28Puts our relationship
00:49:33Above their career
00:49:34Puts in the time
00:49:37Ah
00:49:39Do you think
00:49:44You're in a place where you could do that
00:49:46For someone?
00:49:49Put someone before myself
00:49:50A romantic someone?
00:49:53Do you still have feelings for her?
00:49:58No
00:49:59Not like that
00:50:02Hey there
00:50:08Mazzy wants you to help her with her guitar
00:50:11We should get back out there
00:50:15You seem like a good dude
00:50:22I can be
00:50:25Mazzy loves you too
00:50:28Though I cannot see why
00:50:30She's a good kid
00:50:32Best thing I created my whole life
00:50:35You know the more time you spend around Tess
00:50:40The deeper you're gonna fall in love with her
00:50:43So if your intentions aren't entirely pure
00:50:48That ain't it now
00:50:52While it's still fairly innocent
00:50:54I don't know what you're talking about
00:50:58Sure you don't
00:51:00You're not gonna threaten to hurt me if I break their hearts
00:51:05Tess can handle you all by herself
00:51:07It's you that'll be hurt
00:51:09Wondering
00:51:10How you messed all this up
00:51:12Check it out
00:51:33Rock and rollers
00:51:34Word on the street is
00:51:36Carrie Underwood is looking for a co-headliner
00:51:38I think Tess Stapleton fits the bill
00:51:41Her management slipped me this little Christmas ditty
00:51:43So this is
00:51:4412 Days of Christmas
00:51:46From your Tess Stapleton and Derek Copeland
00:51:49The phone lines are open
00:51:51On the first day of Christmas
00:51:56My true look good to me
00:51:58My whole life will be okay
00:52:00I think I need to look for a place of my own
00:52:03You know for when I'm not on the road
00:52:05She'll probably spend more time in Nashville
00:52:09What's wrong with you staying here and with us?
00:52:13It's confusing
00:52:14Not for me
00:52:16You both love me
00:52:17You're just not together
00:52:19It's confusing for us, kiddo
00:52:21Your mama, she deserves a real partner
00:52:26So do I
00:52:29I mean, it's not gonna change how we feel about you
00:52:33I know
00:52:34Hey, look, I won't be that far away
00:52:37You can have your own room
00:52:39It'll be closer to school
00:52:41A pool?
00:52:42We'll see
00:52:43I'll definitely have a barbecue
00:52:45Still sucks
00:52:48I'll still see you just as much
00:52:52I promise
00:52:53More even
00:52:55Well
00:53:02I'll be back in a few weeks
00:53:04Bye, Jake
00:53:06You know, you're not gonna give the guy a chance
00:53:08Can't break your heart if you don't let him in
00:53:11Do you like him?
00:53:14No
00:53:14But I don't have to
00:53:16Oh
00:53:18I'm gonna miss you
00:53:21I'm gonna miss you, too
00:53:22Are you okay?
00:53:48Yeah
00:53:49Fine
00:53:50Okay, we're back in
00:53:52Five
00:53:53Four
00:53:54Three
00:53:55Two
00:53:55I'm Erica Saunders
00:54:00And today on Sunshine Morning
00:54:01I'd like to introduce to you our next guest
00:54:04Derek Copeland and Tess Stapleton
00:54:07You guys are here this morning to promote your new upcoming Christmas album
00:54:13A Country Christmas
00:54:15How are the both of you?
00:54:17Doing great, yeah
00:54:18Thanks for having us
00:54:19Yeah, pleasure to be here
00:54:20The album's done
00:54:21Yes
00:54:22Not quite, almost
00:54:23Just a few more finishing touches
00:54:25And then it's there
00:54:25What made you want to do a Christmas album?
00:54:29I've always enjoyed the classic Christmas standards
00:54:34The challenge of topping the greats who have come before
00:54:38Putting a new spin
00:54:39And Tess loves writing new songs
00:54:41Exploring feelings and traveling to untapped places of emotion
00:54:45So we thought we thought we would get together and make some beautiful music
00:54:50More better time than Christmas
00:54:51What's been your favorite song to work on so far?
00:54:56Ah, let's see
00:54:57Mine would definitely have to be Silent Night
00:54:59I also really like to be working the lyrics to 12 Days of Christmas
00:55:02Yeah
00:55:03That was fun
00:55:04Yeah
00:55:04And this original that Tess wrote too
00:55:07Sounds like you guys have been having a good time in the studio
00:55:11Perhaps maybe a new romance in the world
00:55:14We're just having a good time making the album
00:55:18Yeah, you know, when you work together and you're recording an album together
00:55:21You just spend so much time together
00:55:23So you have to get in the same headspace, you know
00:55:27Make sure you're on the same page
00:55:28In the same groove
00:55:30And, you know, we've just
00:55:31We've become really good friends
00:55:33Just friends
00:55:35If you say so
00:55:38Stay tuned to hear them sing live after the break
00:55:57This song doesn't feel ready
00:55:59I'm nervous
00:56:01You got this
00:56:04Live in the studio
00:56:06Tess Stapleton and Derek Copeland singing this original Christmas track
00:56:11Winter Wonderland
00:56:27Snowflakes falling in the air
00:56:28Like diamonds shining in your hair
00:56:30You call my name
00:56:32All I can do is say
00:56:33Cause Christmas time means miracles
00:56:36And rides make you so beautiful
00:56:38A mistletoe is hanging everywhere
00:56:41I could walk every mile around this world
00:56:46But nothing would compare
00:56:49To growing old with you
00:56:55In this winter wonderland
00:57:00In this winter wonderland
00:57:04I could fall in love again with you
00:57:10In this winter wonderland
00:57:16In this winter wonderland
00:57:20I could fall in love again
00:57:24With you
00:57:26With you
00:57:26Stay tuned by the fireside
00:57:32The flames reflecting in your eyes
00:57:34The heat for your love
00:57:36It took you by surprise
00:57:38Something about the way you smile
00:57:40Makes me feel this yule time
00:57:42It's Christmas I just want you by my side
00:57:46And I could walk every mile around this world
00:57:50Nothing would compare
00:57:52Nothing would compare
00:57:53To glowing old with you
00:57:59In this winter wonderland
00:58:02In this winter wonderland
00:58:04In this winter wonderland
00:58:08I could fall in love again with you
00:58:14In this winter wonderland
00:58:18In this winter wonderland
00:58:20In this winter wonderland
00:58:24I could fall in love again with you
00:58:30I could fall in love again with you
00:58:33In this winter wonderland
00:58:35I could fall in love again with you
00:58:37In this winter wonderland
00:58:39In this winter wonderland
00:58:51In this winter wonderland
00:58:52I could fall in love again with you
00:58:54In this winter wonderland
00:58:56In this winter wonderland
00:58:57I could fall in love again with you
00:59:01of course i think you should hold like the last chord you know like instead of hold it double
00:59:26because it feels like the reason why it's thin is it feels rushed going into the course
00:59:30yeah i guess hold it longer okay that's a good idea actually
00:59:35hey p what's up carry into what's manager just called they want you on the tour starting in
00:59:41january are you kidding me no you have a week to decide make the right decision i'll call you later
00:59:50it's a big tour yeah yeah it's a lot of time on the road what are you gonna do
01:00:03no idea hey my two cents you all remember fleetwood mac they took all their pain and heartache and they
01:00:13poured it in their music that's why the music sounds so great sometimes i think that's where

01:09:33Oh, man, that was incredible.
01:09:49I'm really glad I pressed record.
01:09:53Are you really going to do this tour, Derek?
01:09:55What tour?
01:09:57Enigmatic is doing a nostalgia tour,
01:09:59and Derek here agreed to get back on stage with Trevor.
01:10:01Oh, that's... that's huge.
01:10:06I didn't know you guys had made up.
01:10:07We haven't.
01:10:08You got on the radio and told everybody you were going to tour
01:10:11and get back in a band with Trevor.
01:10:14Well, I guess I'll just accept that offer, too.
01:10:17Why? Because I can't have success without this being a competition?
01:10:20No, because career is what's most important, right?
01:10:26Isn't Mazzy's Christmas patching tonight?
01:10:28I don't think it's a good idea for you to come.
01:10:32Why not? She asked me to. I want to go.
01:10:35Because she'll be excited to see you.
01:10:37Kids get attached, and if you're not going to be around,
01:10:38I'd just assume rather you not be there.
01:10:40I'd rather set the tone for that now than later, you know?
01:10:44I'm coming.
01:10:45Don't bother.
01:10:46What's her deal?
01:10:50I mean, she should want these kind of opportunities for our careers.
01:10:53Well, sure, for your careers.
01:10:54And if your relationship is strong enough to handle it, that's great.
01:10:57But, you know, if you lose her in a cloud of what-ifs,
01:11:01well, that's tough.
01:11:04Why don't you just tell me what she wants?
01:11:05Yeah, or you could tell her.
01:11:10Hey, you guys sounding great.
01:11:12Why don't you take five?
01:11:17Welcome back.
01:11:18I'd love to hear more about you all.
01:11:20Where do you get...
01:11:20Joy to the world, the Lord has come.
01:11:26Let earth receive her King.
01:11:32Let every heart prepare it through.
01:11:39Let heaven and nature sing.
01:11:42Let heaven and nature sing.
01:11:44Don't be nervous.
01:11:57Remember, they want you to succeed.
01:11:59Okay.
01:11:59Okay.
01:12:14The first Noel the angels didn't say
01:12:23Was to set and pour shepherds in fields as they lay
01:12:31In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
01:12:38On a cold winter's night
01:12:43That was so deep
01:12:46Noel, Noel
01:12:50Noel, Noel
01:12:54Born as the King of Israel
01:13:01Oh, I'm so proud of you.
01:13:20I'm so proud of you.
01:13:26Bessie.
01:13:27Hey.
01:13:27You were magical.
01:13:30Hey.
01:13:32Mazzy.
01:13:33You were amazing.
01:13:35Really.
01:13:36Thanks.
01:13:36I'm accepting all compliments.
01:13:39Told you not to come.
01:13:40Yeah.
01:13:41Come on, Maz.
01:13:46Come on.
01:13:47Come on, babe.
01:13:49I'm just here for Mazzy.
01:13:51Yeah, well, I'm here to protect my kid.
01:13:53And I don't want her getting close to you
01:13:54If you're not going to be around.
01:13:56Are you talking about Mazzy?
01:13:57Or are you talking about you?
01:13:59Both.
01:14:02We have something here.
01:14:04Everyone sees it.
01:14:05But how do you expect us to nurture this, whatever this is, if I never see you?
01:14:11You're going on tour.
01:14:12You're doing the same.
01:14:13But it's not the same thing.
01:14:14I hadn't even said yes to the carrier tour, and you just so cavalierly jumped ship.
01:14:18You would be crazy not to take that tour.
01:14:20That is the difference between you and me.
01:14:23Because if I ever have to choose between family and career, I choose family every time.
01:14:27I've done it before.
01:14:28I want her to grow up here in Nashville.
01:14:31I want her to go to school.
01:14:32I want her to have a normal life.
01:14:33So I'm only gone a few days.
01:14:35I don't miss the important stuff.
01:14:37But you're willing to be away from her now.
01:14:38She's just going to have to come with me.
01:14:40This tour would just, it would set us up for years.
01:14:42I can't pass it up.
01:14:45But you expect me to.
01:14:46If neither of us is willing to sacrifice, then where does that leave us?
01:15:00Alain.
01:15:00Alain.
01:15:16What's up?
01:15:24Going back to L.A. to prep for the tour.
01:15:26What about the album?
01:15:28We've got the release party tonight, and then it'll be done.
01:15:32And what about Tess?
01:15:36We're already done.
01:15:39Life isn't all about work and success.
01:15:43You have to make time for the good stuff.
01:16:01You look so pretty.
01:16:03Thanks, honey.
01:16:05If you get stage fright, just remember, they want you to succeed.
01:16:43Great numbers so far, by the way.
01:17:07And the first single off the album is tracking great.
01:17:10We think you guys have a real chance at a hit album here, which we all know both of you need.
01:17:15The label loves the new album name and wants to renew your contracts as well.
01:17:18Great job.
01:17:19Are you ready?
01:17:30Yep.
01:17:31Are you sure?
01:17:42Are you sure?
01:17:42Oh, how are you sure?
01:18:21The stars are brightly shining.
01:18:27It is the night of our dear Savior's birth.
01:18:36Long day the world, and sin and error pining,
01:18:44till He appeared, and the soul felt its worth.
01:18:54A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
01:19:01for yonder grace, a new and glorious one.
01:19:11Fall on your knees.
01:19:17Oh, hear the angel voices.
01:19:26Oh, night divine.
01:19:34Oh, night when Christ was born.
01:19:39Oh, night divine.
01:19:49Oh, night.
01:19:53Oh, night divine.
01:19:55Oh, night divine.
01:20:25Oh, night divine.
01:20:27Tez, I don't want to end things like this.
01:20:32I don't want to end things.
01:20:35Then what about everything you do?
01:20:36Just don't.
01:20:36Wait.
01:20:48Wait.
01:20:54Wait.
01:20:58Come here
01:21:08Good to see you

01:22:05Great take, Derek.
01:22:33Couldn't have done it without you, old man.
01:22:37Hey, you did all the heavy lifting.
01:22:38All I did was make sure to hit record here.
01:22:40Right.
01:22:43You think this will work?
01:22:46Only one way to find out.
01:22:56It gets so cold this time of year.
01:22:59And I am frozen now that you're not here.
01:23:08Cause something's missing, I can feel it in my bones.
01:23:15Why call it Christmas if we're both alone?
01:23:19I'm so lost in this weather.
01:23:24Only you make me better.
01:23:28It's Christmas time.
01:23:31All I want is you under the tree.
01:23:35The silent night.
01:23:38Baby, you complete me.
01:23:41Beneath the lights.
01:23:43You're my song and I'm your harmony.
01:23:48It's Christmas time.
01:23:51You feel like Christmas to me.
01:23:55I don't know what to say.
01:24:03What's the point of all this?
01:24:04There's nobody to share it with.
01:24:07What about work?
01:24:09I spoke to the label.
01:24:11And they want us to do an album of love songs.
01:24:15Originals.
01:24:16I'm writing all the songs.
01:24:18We are going to write all the songs.
01:24:21There'll be a tour.
01:24:23We'll do it together.
01:24:25The album should be done by late spring.
01:24:27And if we tour this summer...
01:24:30Massey can come with us.
01:24:34You understand my life is...
01:24:37complicated.
01:24:39Not anymore.
01:24:39Not anymore.
01:24:46Just kiss me.
01:24:49Just kiss me.
