And we're back. We have a very special guest in studio right now. He's got his critically acclaimed debut album, Son of Dad. Stephen Wilson Jr. is here. I'm very excited, I'm a big fan. I've been a fan for, I don't know,

I would say like eight months now. I found you on Instagram. I started listening to you and then I told Jay about you and I tried, I was like, we should get him on and Jay was like, yeah, absolutely, let's get him on. Well, I always assume we can't. Yeah. We should like, go try, I guess,

but I don't think it's gonna happen. No, it's, you know. We really do come at it in a different way. But Jay's best friends with Marcus King. Stop. Right? Not best friends with Marcus King. I think you're best friends with him, right?

I'm not. Bobby's busting my balls because I just did the Jelly Roll roast at Nashville Zanies last week. I love Jelly's. Is he your best friend? Oh, he's not my best friend, but he's a friend of mine.

We've gotten to write some songs. Everybody at this roast apparently was everyone's best friend except me. I was no one's best friend, but everyone was everybody else's best friend. Jelly Roll's got 17 best friends. Every one of them was there except me. He's a well-loved man.

Absolutely, absolutely. It was a fun time. Bobby's just making fun of me. I'm making fun of him because he went to a roast, didn't know it was a roast. They told him the day before it was a roast, and then he was like, are you sure it's a roast? Then when he got there, he was like,

maybe it's not a roast, and then it said the roast of Jelly Roll. And they had merch that said the roast of jelly roll. This isn't about me, Bobby, stop deflecting. It's not about you, but it is funny. Everybody did great though on the roast. Nobody bombed. That was fantastic, you can't ask for a perfect roast.

I hope I get to see it. Yeah, oh, you'll get to see it. You won't see Jay in it. They did film it. Jay won't be in it, you won't be able to see it. For some reason, it's so funny, every time he does these things, he's not in them. They, his elbow's in it, his hair.

Yeah. Definitely there, but you can't tell I was there so much. Are you based out of Nashville? Yeah, sort of. Yeah, I am based out of Nashville. I live like, out of town. I live in Tennessee. Are you into the, you seem to me like you're not in that

Hollywood kinda hang in, famous, hang around other famous people type of vibe, right? Yeah, not so much. I hang out in the woods and talk to trees and shit, so. There you go. Am I allowed to say that on here? You can say whatever, you can swear. You can say whatever you want.

I was raised by wolves, so coyotes, so more like. Now, it's funny because when I saw you on Instagram, your look was, you're singing country, and you don't have the hat and the thing, you had this different, dare I say, nerdier look, right? Where I was like, shit is that to say to somebody? That's all right. I'm gonna say it now because I found out

that he is actually, you're a really intelligent guy. I mean, you were a biologist. Okay, I'm actually gonna take it back. I just saw he's got the the Star Trek thing You know, you know my best friends who I accept your You know the logos of Starfleet it's bad To some degree. Yeah, I'm not that big of a Trekkie, but it was it was significant It did mean something but yeah, I used to I'm a that big of a Trekkie, but it was significant. It did mean something.

But yeah, I'm a recovering microbiologist. And I was a scientist for a good bit of my life. Yeah, I was reading that. Like, actual, you got a degree in microbiology. Yes, sir. And I worked mostly as a food scientist. But I did work as a micro for a while. But I worked for Mars, the food company, mostly,

and R&D for them. And that was the whole other life for me. I was going to say what I swear, that's very corporate. Yes, it was. Like situation, too, going into a big building every day and working like that. Yep. To being a guy who wants to talk to trees in the woods,

which sounds like it. Which is still what I was doing and wanted to do, even when I was there. So you were doing music, going on tour with your band, right? And then you'd come back on your off time and go get these jobs, kind of like, I'll work for you for a couple months until I go to tour again. So it was kind of almost like a... I didn't even get part-time scientist work. That's awesome. I know. That's literally what it was.

You guys looking for some seasonal scientists? I was a seasonal scientist. You nailed awesome. That's literally what it was. You guys looking for some seasonal scientists? I was a seasonal scientist. You nailed it. And that's what I did. I played in indie bands. And then I would kind of moonlight in a lab for a couple months and go back to complete nerdery. And then I would be a broke musician again.

You have a passion for science, like still, yes? Oh, yeah. Because I was going to say, because it wasn't't was the goal to always get away from that for music No, I mean Science was something I was good at it doesn't necessarily mean you're supposed to be doing it and in my small town like everybody worked on cars or farmed and I was a bit of a weird kid and and I was a bit of a weird kid, and I was good at science. And so they were like, you should do that.

And so that's what I did. And science was, if anything, was a ticket out of my hometown, which is an incredible town, but I could have easily stayed there for the rest of my life if I didn't have that, or I could have easily come back. You know, because Nashville, as a music town, it really just beats you down and kind of sends you on back. That's where you came from. Oh, you know, because Nashville as a music town, it really just beats you

down and kind of sends you on back. We know that. So we were there a couple of years ago. We did the bonfire live went to a Kid Rocks bar and got beaten down and came back quick. It'll do that. And it does it to people all day long. And with a science degree, I was able to kind of stay there because I worked as a scientist in Nashville.

So I could at least stay music adjacent as a scientist. Right. So how did you make you study kid rock? How did he find the perfect balance of rap and rock? It's right there. That is he is a delicate balance. He's what we call a conundrum. I let him stay that. He likes small cigars just to let you know. Have you ever bought some cigars? He doesn't like big cigars. I have a cigar and he was like now I'm good. Well turns out he likes any cigars except the ones Bobby tries to give up. We are regularly whiffing with these celebrities. I don't know what it is. We just we don't have it. We don't whatever it is we don't got it. I promise you, I don't either.

I like to believe you were almost curing cancer, and then they gave you a record deal. You're like, ugh, never mind. Yeah, I know. Think about what could have been. Yeah. He goes, you know if I would put that dropper in that thing right there?

Cure for cancer. I was about to make the perfect Mars bar. Yeah. I'll have that for an album name. I was going to cure cancer, but instead here's this album. I hope you like it. Yeah. I hope you like it.

It's the reason your grandkids will die one day. Just a little sick kid on the album cover. I like it. What was your favorite project you worked on in science? Was there anything you were passionate about what you were doing, or was it just kind of job jobs? You know, I created one of the products that I worked on was called Dena Sticks Fresh and it's still in the market.

It's like a breath freshening dog chew that is, you know, that was one of my babies. You know, like I had a project from start to finish and just to see it still in the market, still doing really well. Do you get a percentage of that? Because you invented it? No, no, that's not how that works. But yeah, I got to formulate it and kind of launch it from scratch to to the market. So we can thank you for dogs having good breath. Yeah, that's me, Dennis Dix Fresh, come on. You know as you say it makes total sense

that science is involved in so many things you wouldn't think science is involved in but I went right to curing cancer. He goes sometimes you just got to make a dog's breath smell better. Science involved in all of these things. The market spoke and I was just... Yeah here's the thing if they chew that and make their breath smell their butts are going to smell good too. You did both things. no? Well, back to the laboratory. It's been great having you here, Stephen, but you gotta work on some shit.

You guys are the dude, dude. So you actually, what I found interesting is that you had this great career making money, and you gave up that career to go and do this. How hard was that to do? It was very hard. It was probably one of the hardest decisions I ever made. Yeah.

But yeah, I had like- For fear reasons or like- Yeah, because I was married, I had a stepson, and it was just this really, I couldn't stop writing songs even when I was in the labs and stuff. And I had this really incredible conversation I couldn't stop writing songs even when I was in the labs and stuff. I had this really incredible conversation with a co-worker there.

He could tell that I didn't belong there. He was like, you're supposed to be doing something else, but you're here. I think it's good that you're here. You're going to do really well here, but I don't think you're supposed to be here. And that's a weird thing to hear from somebody. And I could feel it. And honestly, I had like this really nagging, I call it a feeling you could hear,

that would kind of, if I was to translate it, that's what it said, you're not supposed to be here. And as the years went by, it got louder and louder. And this gentleman that told me this, he said, I was kind of climbing the company ladder. And he said, they're about to put the golden handcuffs on you. And it was a really powerful, being a word nerd, I was like, oh, dude, you got me there.

I had to really think about those golden handcuffs. And he was like, you're at a crossroads in your life. I can see what you want to do, and I see what you're doing. And if you want to do that, you're going to have to make a decision soon, because your dream's about to die, if that's your dream. And you went home and left your wife. Yeah, I did.

I did. I did. Jeez, that poor kid. I know. Poor Henry. It's easier to leave a child that's not yours. There's a song title. Oh, wow.

There's a lot of rhymes with yours. Floors, doors. You're right. I can see it already. Bores. Bores. That was an alley oop. I let you dunk that one.

But yeah, I mean, honestly, the feeling that I was telling you about that I could hear, it kinda got louder by the day. And what made me really get out of there after the Golden Handcuffs conversation, my biggest fear was showing up one day to work as annoying as it was, and one day it was gone. That was my biggest fear, is like it had moved on. And that scared me more than leaving that job.

Well, thank God you did, man, because your music is, I mean, there's a lot of stuff on Instagram, but certain things hit you, and your music really, really affected me. I had to find you and get the album and listen to it all the time. So you can, you're gonna sing a couple songs for us, right? Yes, sir I'm gonna ask you do you do you creatively are you involved in everything?

Do you like to be part of all of it? You kind of let the machine around you do like music videos and stuff like that Like I'm very involved. I write all the treatments for really so you like being involved in like everything like all the little videos We do like even from what I wear to the set, to what's in the background. Nice. Everything is where I thought of. I gave you a perfect setup right into the song, and then he asked a question.

But take it away, Steven. Yeah, go ahead, Steve. Do your thing. No, hang on. Steven, and go. Here we go, y'all. I'm going to play a pretty sad song. Sorry. This is called Grief Is Only Love. Life is a battlefield And it'll drag you right through it

Bites like a rattlesnake The kind that you just don't see on a trail I miss my father everyday The kind of pain I pray don't fade away And the ones that guide me down the road Their grief is all we love There's got no place to go From my great granddad in the ground With all the ghosts in my hometown Yeah, they're the ones that find me down the road Yeah, grief is only love It's got no place to go

Yeah, grief is only love The world is a cannonball So deal with the feelings you can't hide God gave us our goal When we need to leave them all inside I don't feel like crying But I just keep crying For the ones that got me down the road Their grief is all in love There's got no place to go My great granddad in the ground All the ghosts in my hometown Yeah, the ones that find me down the road

Grief is only love that's got no place to go Yeah, grief is only love Grief is only love Grief is only love I don't feel like crying But I just keep lying for once But guide me down the road Yeah, grief is only love There's got no place to go

So hang on to the hurt And let it go And the only thing for certain is it's out of my control And grief is only love that's got no place to go And grief is only love that's got no place to go, yeah, grief is only love There's got no place to go, yeah, grief is only love Grief is only love Grief is only love.

Wow. Wow. Wow, that was good. Thank you, dude. This makes me. Paco, next time he does a song like that, can you come stand between my legs so my arms are on your waist? It feels like I should be holding someone.

I didn't know what to do with... It was so emotional that I was sitting there like, what do I do? I don't know what to do. I was thinking to everybody who died in my life. I was like, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. I was just. It was so emotional that I was just sitting there like, what do I do, I don't know what to do.

I was thinking to everybody who died in my life, and I was like, don't cry in front of Jay. Don't cry in front of Jay. Oh, you'll never live it down. It's all right if you do. Buddy. I almost did. That song is so. It creeps so many love, man.

Could you imagine if you. You've lost a lot of people, as you're an older gentleman. I'm so glad you didn't stay at Mars. So glad you left. Just imagine, just thank you. Could you're an older gentleman. I'm so glad you didn't stay at Mars. So glad you left. Just imagine if that song. Just yapping that around in the bathroom. Just hear it.

Wilson, out of the bathroom, back to work. Those dogs breath stink. We need your science in the chocolate factory. Enough of that, get back to the dog cheese. When did you write that song? How did you write that song? I wrote it a couple years ago. It was almost two years after my dad died.

I was sitting on a front porch of this guy's house named Jeffrey Steele. He's an incredible songwriter. I've written a couple songs on the record with him. He he and I are both notoriously late for each other's rights, and we just kind of take turns being late. And one day he was like really late, and like, and so I just was sitting on his porch because I couldn't get in the studio. And the chorus to that song just showed up right there on the porch. I literally got my guitar out and just started writing it and Jeffrey

And lost his his 13 year old son in an ATV accident and he'd experienced grief on a level that it was unimaginable to me he and his whole family did and And I talked a lot about grief with Jeffrey like our songwriting sessions are almost like therapy sessions because he was one of the few people I knew in that town that could really get real and really go there. And he was not afraid to go there. So when that song showed up, I think it showed up there for a reason because it could have showed up in any room on any day. And Jeffrey walks in, and he's super happy. He's always got such a great spirit about him for what he's been through.

It's very inspiring. And he's like, how you doing? I was like, hey, man, this song just showed up. I know we can hug and talk, but I got to play it for you. I don't know what this. I think we're supposed to write this today. And I played it for him, and he was just like, OK, that's what we're supposed to write this today. And I played it for him and he was just like, okay, that's what we're gonna do today.

And we just dug right into it and we cried. And he told me things that were just incredibly personal. I mean that song, I felt like we were both. Go on. Get to it. Trust us. We're here for you, dude. We're your new friends.

You're the sort of things you should never tell somebody else. But yeah, we felt, I think, a few pounds lighter that day. Both of us did. It really does hit you. Because when I first heard it, it really did. My father passed away, my stepfather. And when he died, I never actually, I never felt it.

I never, I was just kind of faking it type thing. And it's weird that songs like that, that song actually made me feel, miss him and remember him and feel, you know, like sad. And I remember I was tearing up in the car just thinking about my stepdad that I never could do at the funeral and after all that stuff.

So it's a fucking powerful song, man. And it's crazy to me, what? It's emotional. Well, you're going down too. Yeah, dude. I wasn't expecting it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You're in a safe place.

I'm in a safe place. This happens at all my shows so. I mean I just lost three pivots because of that. Oh yeah, this is no safe space for you. You've written songs for people, right, completely? Yeah, that's what I started off as. I was a staff writer. When I quit my job as a scientist,

I really just wanted to write songs for other people. I never. Really? I never sang a song for, even When I quit my job as a scientist, I really just wanted to write songs for other people. I never sang a song for anybody. Even when I quit that job, I had never sang a song for anybody. I was a guitar player and a writer, composer. I'd never had sang on a mic as a singer. And when I quit that job, I had to start doing that, just so I could sell my songs.

Because I couldn't just get somebody to sing them for me every time I wrote one. Is it less rewarding? Is it not that rewarding when you write for somebody? Because if you put your emotion into the songwriting and someone else is doing it, there's gotta be some element of you going like, it's not exactly how I pictured it.

Yeah, that happens. But also it's so flattering for someone to take, you know, this idea that showed up for you one day, and they're taking it around to their fans and their whole world, because that's a whole different world than my world. Like they have fans that I'll never reach, and I have fans that they'll never reach. So there's a really, I love that aspect of the freedom, you know, the wings of a song. It sounds really cheesy, but that's kind of what it is. But, you know, when I started doing this, my dad had died,

and I never thought of myself as an artist ever. And my dad... I'd play him, like, my demos and stuff. And he'd be like, why don't you just sing these, dude? You sound fine. And I'd always argue with him. Like, no, somebody else sings them. I just write them. That's what I quit my job to do is to write songs. I didn't quit my job to sing songs.

Did you have to play with the pitch and tone of your voice, like your singing voice, to kind of choose how you were gonna go, you know, the octave that you're singing? Yeah. That's gotta be, if you start too high, you might not be able to do the songs. Well that was honestly a challenge for me

with getting cuts, because I could sing low and high. So that's the songs I would write. I'd write songs with a low verse and then a high as hell chorus. And it would scare off a lot of singers that either couldn't sing low or couldn't sing high. And it really made it challenging to get cuts. And but in that process, I was kind of parallel path developing a sound that I didn't know I was developing. Yeah, you have a unique sound, man.

Your voice. I haven't heard anybody who sings like you sounds like you. That's what really Oh, it's amazing. It's amazing. Now your guitars too, you're... They're very unique. But your other guitar too, like you have, it looks like it's, yeah, that one. How old are these guitars? Are these your guitars for years? You know you have money, you can...

I think they're brand new. Me and Jake were... You got them at Abercrombie, you just made it look distressed. Yeah. You bought distressed guitars? Yeah, well, this one's a 78. Oh, wow.

Does it make a difference? I think it does. These are 70s era Tachaminis. Oh, era Tachaminis? No, era. Yeah, no, oh, era. I thought the other ones. So these are, that's a 75, and this is a right and really I shop I didn't really look for this particular guitar

I bought this on Craigslist for $400 and a parking lot in Nashville No shit, and then after I bought it I went looking like you didn't get gay raped in that story Hopes there's always tomorrow still on the rise dog another time. Juan Canole hopes there's always tomorrow. You're still on the rise, dog. But yeah, this one is, this is, this one's named Juan and that one's named too. So Uno Dos? Yeah, Uno Dos.

A lot of people think it's named Juan. That's why I think it's Juan. What is the, what is the stuff on it? You get little drawings. Actually, they're holes, so I cover them up with masking tape because I play with these damn picks, these really thick bass picks. There's like sawdust on the stage every night, there's sawdust everywhere. I just leave pieces of this guitar everywhere I go.

And it just eventually, there's like holes in both of these and I patch them up and then put little drawings on them so it doesn't look so terrible. So if you restored those, would it change like the pitch of the guitar you think? I think so. And I don't wanna really do that. They're just being good to me and I don't,

but at the same time I'm not really a guitar collector. I'm a guitar player and if I destroy these guitars doing what they're meant to be done, or meant to be doing on Earth, then that's fair enough. What if those guitars were why he can sing? The magic Mexican guitars. Yeah. I got this from a crazy gypsy lady one time.

I don't know, she said, take it, your dreams will come true. I was a scientist, then I could sing. And it was. Shut up and cure cancer. Make dark chocolate. You bring up a point. Once I grabbed this guitar, it was like a sword in the stone

kind of thing a little bit. Really? It'd be great if Jay just picked it up and you sounded insane. It's like, here you go. You become Guy Clark. Yeah, I'm up on the neck. I never even touched this thing before. Is this a G sharp?

Is that even a thing? All right, OK, we got 10 minutes left. Can we hear another song? Oh, yeah. Let's do it. We got two more, so I'm going to have to do them back to back. Yeah, do them back to back. Do you want me back to back?

I don't know. If you can. All right, I'll try my best. This next song I love, too. If you can. Alright, I'll try my best. This next song I love too. This was a result of a really terrible first kiss. I must admit I felt the flame Kirk O'Bain, offender Mustang MTV brought me up This is your brain on drugs

I won't forget that first girlfriend That got me into boys demand I grew up a lot that year In a sweatshirt sittin' on the floor My life was a stereo and it was everything First one in line for the last dance with Mary Jane Hiding in my headphones, laying on a bedroom floor 1994 I'm on the second floor, 1994 Tell mom, see you later Don't be blowin' up my pager When the show's over I'll come home

And that is I don't Teens hid in the air for your own cell phone Steady on passing lights, yes, no, I don't care My life was a stereo and it was everything Sound tracks, first kiss Out at the roller rink Hands held, two hearts Falling on the hardwood floor 1994

1994 Think you know it all And you don't know any better 1995 Think you know it all and you don't know any better Tell yourself you're gonna live forever My heart is burning and I'm still holding the touch 1995 For 1995 The year to be young The year to be young The year to be young

The year to be young When my life was a stereo Man, it was everything Soundtrack takes me back Through all those memories Hiding in my headphones Laying on a bench in the floor It takes me back through the days When a song's worth so much more 1994

1994 1994, 1994, I guess. To each his own. That was fantastic. I mean, so talented. I mean, it sounds like there's a huge band around. He makes that guitar sound like there's a whole band. It's crazy what you can do with that guitar. Thank you.

I'm a little raspy Boston. I kicked my ass last night. They were so rowdy, I couldn't sing over them. That's awesome. I blew my voice out a little bit last night. Sound awesome, man. How new is the, you feel like the like yelling back like singing back your words to you I mean, that's the that's the rock star dream right there is no your words

It's very new and it's mind blowing to be honest for like a weird little quiet kid How long has it been since you've been home in the woods and doing those things? pretty much a Year since since since I went on tour, really. I've been home a couple weeks this year. You miss it? I do, but this is more important. We have work to do.

Yeah, you do. The trees ain't going nowhere, at least not anytime soon. Yeah. But yeah, it's been a lot to adjust to because a lot of this I'm not supposed to be here like none of this was really supposed to happen. I kind of living within an anomaly Which is fun So I can make mistakes. Yeah. Well, I mean it takes a lot of pressure off me because like You know, I didn't really set all you know when you set up like a whole thing

Yeah when you try to get like a special on a certain network and you're like, this is definitely gonna happen. And everybody's like, this is gonna happen. And then they say, no. Yeah. It's like shit.

Yeah, I've had my music business version of that many, many times. I don't, that sounds terrible. Get off me, Bobby. I feel it. You're supposed to be here, Jay. This is your... This is your... I'm supposed to be doing science, I think.

This is science. Are they looking for anybody at that job? Yeah, I'll ask them if they're hired. You have Mars candy bar, I'm gonna be like Lucio Ball, grabbing chocolate. You never know. God, man, your songs are so amazing, bro. You sound so great, man.

Do we have time for one more? I'd love to hear one more. Do we have time for one more? I could try. We got time for one more. I could try to knock one out real quick. Let's go. All right.

Tuning is caring. I tune a lot. My wife calls me Tunie Soprano. That was a good one. I like that. I like that. I prefer Antunio Banderas, because it's's a desperado movie. I'll never get over it. We're gonna hate you.

Shooting guitar cases. Salma Hayek. I like it. Still good. Still good, but not desperado. And that's what this next song's about. I still would, but you're not desperado. Thank you guys so much. Thank you man, thanks for being here.

It's an honor to be here. Thanks for putting up with me. Not at all man, you're amazing. I'm gonna go get some food. Back on the house, back on the land, Boss on the truck and the hammer on the hand, Next got the kids and after my check, Had a hand close to the ice, Whoop whoop, Fizz on the hood, cuss on the blocks, Carburetor parts are sitting in the box, Mentioning errands, stripping that boat, Bustin' up a knock on my commando, Whoop whoop, This world keeps shakin' me, breakin' me, takin' me, makin' that boat, buzzin' up a knock on my humango Koo-koo

This world keeps shakin' me, breakin' me, takin' me, makin' me Damn near crazy as a moon Koo-koo And I'm here out there, I'm pullin' my hair I'm burnin' a little too soon Runnin' by the train, goin' in that race Tasting that cured on par One more thing in all my explains I can't control

Rock says hi, you're on the pill, shoots me a shot, sends me the bill Life is a road and it's all uphill, one don't drive you then the other one will This road keeps shakin' me, breakin' me, takin' me, makin' me Damn near a crazy husband will go pooh Now I'm here, out there, I'm pullin' my hair I'll burn out a little too soon Runnin' by the train, got an average station I'm carried on a pall One more thing, you're all I I have things I can't control So Some goes up, some goes down, we all wind up six feet in the ground

Some girls up, some girls down, we all wind up six feet in the ground Some girls up, some girls down, we all wind up six feet in the ground Don't know much, tell you what I do Sooner or later we are gonna go Woohoo This world keeps sickin' me, brickin' me Tickin' me, makin' me damn damn crazy Isn't it? Woohoo Yeah, I'm here out there

I pull my hair out by now What did you say? That nice place, comin' down where you Stays like it all part One more thing in a long line of things I can't control One more thing, a long line of things I can't control Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm free, oh yeah I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
