And, and you know, the rest is history and put music out and just, that was it.
It's funny because he's Canadian, so he's really nice about it. He does it with a, I'm sorry, but you fucking suck. Yeah, yeah. Everything is just polite. It's just never anger. Joey has a very, very good, not mediation, but just a very good way of being stern but fair. Or kind of telling you that you're sucking without...
But with no emotion behind it that makes him seem like he's disappointed or angry. Thankfully, he and I have gotten in a really good rhythm when I do vocals with him because I've heard the Joey Gauntlet.
But in the studio, if we have somebody that's playing an instrument and we're trying to get them to nail a part or a tone or something, and it's 3.55, 4.30 in the afternoon and everybody's tired and kind of ready to go home and they keep hitting the part wrong. I have seen him hit the talkback button a hundred times and go, nope. And they just run it back. No, do it again. No, that's not it.
And, you know, it's just who he is, man. And it's very non-emotional, though, and very just professional. And it's great. I wouldn't have it any other way. But yeah, he can be tough, man. I've even heard, you know, he's the only person I've ever worked on, been in a session with. So I have nothing really to compare it to. But I hear people a lot just be like, yeah, Joey's a tough one to work for.
To me, a big flip was really even, excuse me, prior to the FGL record, the first one was that Jake Owen, Barefoot Blue Jay Knight. It was the first thing he ever did without a drummer. Yes, I believe so. It was all in the box. But that was such a shift in sound. And then he did the FGL record. And when that happened, it was just like, you could forget about everything else, dude.
And so everything sounded like that for years. And now with Morgan... he's just done it again and created a, he's just created sonically something that now, now country is a little more widespread these days. And, you know, I feel like it's, we're not all chasing Morgan, but he definitely has kind of controlled the market.
I feel like for, for damn near, I mean, I would say 15 years now, which is pretty crazy.
Dude, this is awesome. It's been too long. I know we've tried to do it a couple times, but I'm happy to finally get back.
Actually, I always thought it was cool when I was a little kid. But when I was like a freshman or I was like a sophomore in college. And I was at MTSU, and it was my first year there, and I had made good friends with a guy named Clay. And Clay was like, I don't know how the conversation got brought up, but he's from East Tennessee, and he was like, all of my cousins will go look for arrowheads.
And I was like, oh, I didn't really know that you'd look for them. I thought you'd just kind of find them as you find them. And he was like, no, it's like a thing. People look for them. And spring break was coming up, and... And he was like, you know what, dude, we should go to your hometown and just like poke around and see if we can't find some for spring break. And I was like, fuck it.
All right, let's do Philadelphia. Yeah. So we go back to Philadelphia, Mississippi. And, uh, the first, literally the first afternoon he's like, okay, I'm like, dude, there's a Creek that kind of runs through my, our deer hunting property back on the, kind of on the backside of our land. We should go there. And he was like, all right. And dude, within 10 minutes, we find one.
And the next morning we go back and we found another and then another and another. And then I was just like hooked. And my biggest thing was like, man, I've hunted here my whole life. And it's so freaking cool to know that somebody probably my age, uh, was doing the same thing that I do now, but literally some of those arrowheads are like thousands of years old.
And like some of them can be seven, eight, 9,000 years old. And I was just like, dude, it's just that whole process of like, I was the first guy to find this and tell them what happened to it and how I got there. And the fact that it was some kid, probably half my age running around chasing a fucking deer, just like I'm doing and have times never change, you know, it's, it's cool.
But that's why I really appreciate it is, is just the, the, the untold story that we will just never know about everyone. I love it. I love it. I love it. But yeah, I appreciate you letting me poke around. You were, you were doing something in your backyard. You had a lot of loose dirt. I driven by because Ashley lives next to you. Yeah. That's what it was. It was the trees.
I'm always looking, dude. And I was like, I was like, Troy's got a lot of loose dirt down there. So I was like, Hey, I'm going to go poke around your backyard. I didn't find anything.
Thank you. I'm stoked.
