Question: How does it feel to be on country radio?
Stephen Wilson Jr.: “Oh, it’s an honor. I’ve been listening to country radio my whole life. So hearing a song that came from the way in which it did and hearing that story kind of live on country radio. Because country radio, to me, that really affected me were there were story songs. And those stories really grabbed me early on. So this song, Gary, is a story. It’s a story about a. A guy named Gary, or Minnie Gary, he’s metaphorically. And so to have any contribution to the fabric that is country radio and to be part of the soundtrack of lives, going to work, going home, it’s a real honor to be a part of the fabric of our society, because I feel like country music is the mini threads that hold us all together and and kind of unite us as well. And yeah, it’s something I’ve, I guess, you know, never really thought would happen. My dreams outdreamed me a long time ago. And some of my favorite artists, like John Mellencamp, he was on the radio all the time and he wrote these incredible story songs. But, you know I always thought if he could do it, maybe I could too.”
