Radio Intro (Commentary)

It's Big Machine Radio, I'm Becca
I wanna welcome you to the Carly Pearce "Every Little Thing" album release special
And I've been looking forward to this
Because for the next hour or so
We're really gonna dig in, to Carly Pearce's debut album
And I'm so excited because obviously we can't do that without Carly
And she's here, hey!

Hi

So I gotta tell you, first of all, the fact that this is finally here
I mean this is something you have dreamt about since you were a little girl
Growing up in Taylor Mill, Kentucky
I imagine the thought that your debut album is now out on the shelves
It's on iTunes, it's everywhere
There's gonna be a mix of emotions going on with that

Oh, my goodness, yeah
I think, just so much excitement, so much hard work but also I just
I really can't believe it, like I can't believe that I have an album out
And that I made this dream, that I had as a little girl to be, just a female
That had the opportunity to maybe be somebody, and
In country music and make a mark
Just that that opportunity has kind of, started to bud a little bit
So I'm just really thankful

Now when you were younger did you ever like
Have dreams of going to the store and buying your own album

Oh, yeah
Because you know, back when I was in high school and loving music
We didn't have iTunes and all that
So we had to go at midnight and buy our favourite albums
So, yeah, that's how I always dreamt of doing it

That's so cool
And you'll be the one with like your face next to your CD
Oh, you know it
Nothing here
Oh, yeah, what is this?

Well, and you know, there are 13 songs on this album
I know that you co-wrote eight of them, if I counted correctly (mhm)
Uhm and we are gonna get into each song individually
And we're gonna play all 13 tracks
But just as a general overview for people who are wondering what is in store
From Carly Pearce's "Every Little Thing" album
How personal or not personal are these songs?
Am I gonna know her better after I listen to this?
What can you tell people about the album as a whole?

I named the album "Every Little Thing" for two reasons
Obviously, because of the song, and how it just got everything started for me
But also I named it this, because
I feel like you're gonna get to hear every little thing about me
As far as where my influences are, where I come from
It definitely is, I'm a songwriter and I love writing songs

I've been writing songs in Nashville for eight years
And I feel like I'm telling you my stories
And telling you every little bit about my personality
And the kind of woman that I am, and all of those things
So I think you're gonna get a very good idea of who I am
And just what I grew up loving and the music that I loved in this album

And you know one thing that I wanted to mention
You actually worked with busbee, which is a name people have probably heard
He did Maren Morris' "Hero" album, I know he's done some work with Keith Urban
He's worked with Lady Antebellum
And you actually kind of have a unique situation with him, because
He wasn't just a producer
Uh, you guys have, kind of had a long-standing relationship
Where he sort of cultivated you as an artist
Am I, am I getting that right?

Yeah, I was the very first artist that busbee ever signed
To his own artist development programme
Along with Daniel Lee, who is a publisher in Nashville at a company called BMG
They joined forces and signed me as their first developmental act
Almost three years ago
And actually on the album, there's a song called "You Know Where To Find Me"
That we'll get too, but that was the day that busbee and I met
And I feel like that's the day when I really figured out
From a production standpoint, who I was
