Makenzie joined our own Matt Jolley for an interview recently. You can listen to the full conversation by clicking the link below—don’t miss it!

With a voice as genuine as a front porch chat and lyrics that cut straight to the core, “Love Me Sober” paints a raw portrait of a woman caught in a cycle of hope and hurt. “I wish I was your bourbon glass,” she sings, “I’d be close to your fingertips.” It’s poetry, pure and painful, wrapped in a melody that lingers like a memory you can’t shake.

The song’s message isn’t just artistic—it’s urgent. Alcohol abuse continues to be a heartbreaking issue across the country, tied to over 178,000 deaths a year. Phipps, through her powerful storytelling, shines a spotlight on the kind of pain that too often gets swept under the rug.

“I love writing songs that have deep meanings to them,” Phipps says. “If this song is able to help someone through difficult times, then that means more to me than any award in the world.” That’s the kind of artist we can get behind.

Makenzie’s already racked up millions of views with her heartfelt acoustic covers of classics like “Travelin’ Soldier” and “Amazing Grace.” She’s been featured everywhere from Whiskey Riff to Forbes to Taste of Country—and her momentum shows no signs of slowing.

Catch her on tour throughout Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and beyond—dates are filling up fast. And whether you see her live or stream “Love Me Sober” from your favorite platform, one thing’s for sure: Makenzie Phipps is a voice worth listening to.

For Will, this release is more than just music; it’s a way to connect with others who’ve experienced the devastating effects of addiction.

Will Wesley’s journey into music has been anything but ordinary. Born with a rebellious streak, he started sneaking into bars at just 15 years old, playing the blues that ran through his veins. He’s come a long way since those early days, drawing inspiration from country icons like Eric Church and Jason Aldean while also bringing a rock edge that’s all his own. His career has already taken him across the globe, performing in countries across Europe and Southeast Asia, sharing stages with legends like Alabama and Jason Boland & The Stragglers.

Despite all his success, Will feels like he’s just getting started, and his music continues to evolve as he finds new ways to share his heart with the world.

The song's haunting melody and poignant lyrics have captivated generations of fans, making it a timeless classic.

The new book, Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight, is a tender and imaginative exploration of the dreams and emotions that Cline herself might have experienced as a young girl. "My mother was a beautiful force of nature and ahead of her time in many ways," says Julie Dick Fudge. "This book imagines the dreams she may have had while also addressing loss and sadness and the joy of visiting with loved ones in our dreams. Over the years, there have been many meaningful ways that her legacy has been honored, and our little book is a reminder that the spirit of Patsy Cline—along with her music—lives on and on."

Published by Meteor 17 Books, Walkin' After Midnight is now available for pre-order on Amazon, with its official release set for September 17. The book promises to be a touching addition to the literary world, offering both young readers and fans of Patsy Cline a way to connect with her enduring legacy.

And despite a career that has already found him touring several countries in Europe and Southeast Asia, performing in venues such as the Switzerland International Country Music Hall of Fame and the Jackson, Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, and playing alongside the likes of Alabama, Jason Boland & the Stragglers and Robert Cray, this is somewhat a new beginning for Will Wesley as he finds himself ready to conquer the world.

"Doug" Porter, a retired manager of parks, zoos, and museums who has seamlessly transitioned into the literary world with his latest book, "Roaming, Rambling, and Reminiscing: Musings from a South Georgia Mule Wagon."

After a remarkable forty-year career dedicated to wildlife and education, Doug retired only to find himself in an unexpected yet fitting role: a part-time mule wagon driver at a quail hunting plantation in South Georgia. This unique job, driving mules and observing hunters amid the serene pine forests, provided Doug with ample time for reflection. It was during these quiet moments, accompanied by cantankerous mules and a lively cocker spaniel, that Doug began to pen his thoughts, eventually leading to a series of newspaper articles and ultimately, his latest book.

"Roaming, Rambling, and Reminiscing" offers readers a profound glimpse into Doug's contemplations on a lifetime spent with the non-human animals that share our planet. His insights are both reflective and engaging, capturing the essence of his experiences from the vantage point of a mule wagon.

In addition to his non-fiction work, Doug is also a talented fiction writer. His debut novel, "The Menagerie, A Zoo Story," explores the lives of animals in zoos and the complex dynamics of their care. His subsequent works, "The Dogcatcher and The Fox" and "Lessons from the Zoo, Ten Animals That Changed My Life," delve into historical fiction and memoir, respectively, each underscoring his deep connection to and passion for animal welfare.

Doug's forthcoming novel promises to be another captivating exploration, this time focusing on our working animal partners such as elephants, horses, and his old friends, the mules. These animals, once indispensable for their roles in transportation, agriculture, and entertainment, faced an uncertain future with the advent of mechanization in the early 20th century. Through his storytelling, Doug aims to give these animals a voice, encouraging readers to consider the intricate relationships humans share with the creatures that depend on us.

"I don’t pretend to know their stories," Doug says, "but I am compelled to give them a voice."

Doug's fictional worlds challenge us to reflect on our complex and often contradictory relationship with animals, prompting us to think deeply about what it means to coexist on this planet. His work is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, and his stories invite us to explore this connection in all its multifaceted dimensions.

Doug's publications include:

• Roaming, Rambling, and Reminiscing: Musings from a South Georgia Mule Wagon (Non-Fiction, 2024)
• Lessons from the Zoo, Ten Animals That Changed My Life (Non-Fiction, Memoir, 2020)
• The Dogcatcher and The Fox (Historical Fiction, 2020)
• The Menagerie, A Zoo Story (Historical Fiction, 2012)

Michael Brown and his dedicated team are undertaking this project with the assistance of local students, striving to produce a museum-quality replica of the wagon that McCartney, famously known as "The Goatman," was most frequently photographed in. Notably, the original wagon was crafted by the Fairbanks Company itself, adding a layer of historical significance and personal connection to the recreation efforts.

Chess McCartney, a fixture of American folklore, became a legendary figure throughout the mid-20th century as he traveled the country with his herd of goats, spreading tales and captivating audiences. His rustic, goat-drawn wagon became a symbol of his wandering spirit and unique lifestyle, leaving an indelible mark on those who encountered him.

The revival of McCartney's wagon is not just a mechanical reconstruction; it is a journey into the past, preserving the essence of an era and the spirit of a man who embraced simplicity and adventure. The project serves as an educational platform, engaging local students in the meticulous process of historical restoration, thereby fostering a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship and regional history.

Michael Brown will join Matt Jolley on GeorgiaRadio.com for an in-depth discussion about what it takes to bring this Georgia icon back to life. During the interview, listeners can expect to hear about the intricate details involved in the wagon's reconstruction, the historical research underpinning the project, and the collaborative efforts between Fairbanks Company and the students.

Take a listen to this fascinating conversation and discover how the legacy of "The Goatman" Chess McCartney is being meticulously revived by a community passionate about preserving its history.

Killmaster explained that DMAP provides a tailored solution to site-specific deer management issues by enabling data collection and analysis at the individual property level. This method allows for more nuanced management strategies that are responsive to the unique needs of each property, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.

One of the key advantages of DMAP, according to Killmaster, is its ability to balance simplified hunting regulations across large geographic areas while addressing the desires of hunters, such as reduced doe bag limits. This strategy ensures that properties with casual management practices are safeguarded against over-harvest, while those with more intensive management needs can benefit from science-based flexibility.

"DMAP offers landowners and hunters a valuable tool for managing deer populations effectively and sustainably," Killmaster told Jolley. "By tailoring management practices to specific properties, we can ensure healthier deer populations and better hunting experiences."

Killmaster's appearance on GeorgiaRadio.com shed light on the critical role of DMAP in contemporary wildlife management, emphasizing its importance in promoting sustainable hunting and conservation practices across Georgia and beyond.

GEORGIA RADIO - As we kick off the summer reading season, Georgia Radio is thrilled to continue our celebration of local authors. Today, we shine the spotlight on Deidre deLaughter, a remarkable writer whose novels explore deep and personal themes with a Southern touch.

Deidre deLaughter's journey into writing began with a transformative conversation with her friend, Terry Kay. This pivotal moment came after Deidre’s ex-husband was arrested on state and federal charges, and she discovered he was a sexual predator. Kay suggested she channel her experience into writing, which led to the creation of her debut novel, Reawakening Rebekah: The Gift of the CLAMOR Girls. Although the story is fiction, it draws heavily from the grim reality Deidre faced, offering readers a poignant and gripping narrative.

In 2020, Deidre completed the first draft of her second novel, A Rose in Little Five Points. This story is set in Atlanta's iconic Little Five Points neighborhood, spanning from the mid-1970s to the 1990s. The novel follows protagonist Meredith Fields as she navigates the crumbling foundations of her life. Through heartaches and self-doubt, Meredith's evolution into a more authentic self is greatly influenced by her relationship with Magda, her crotchety elderly neighbor. The symbolic gift of a rose bush from Magda plays a crucial role in Meredith's journey, despite her initial struggles to even keep an aloe plant alive.

Deidre is not only a talented writer but also a proud mother of three grown daughters and a grandmother to one grandchild and seven four-legged companions. Her stories, deeply rooted in personal experiences and enriched by her Southern heritage, offer readers both entertainment and profound life lessons.

GEORGIA RADIO - The vibrant literary scene of Georgia continues to flourish as local authors take center stage, with Randy Farmer being the latest to captivate Georgia Radio audiences with his intriguing narrative. Farmer, a seasoned author whose roots trace back to Texas, recently engaged in a stimulating conversation with Georgia Radio's Matt Jolley, shedding light on his latest book and its profound ties to the American South and, notably, Georgia.

Residing in Atlanta since early 2019 before relocating back to his native Texas in mid-2024, Farmer's journey is deeply intertwined with the rich history and culture of the Southern states. Drawing inspiration from his lineage, which boasts a lineage of early Texas settlers, Farmer embarked on a decades-long quest fueled by a family heirloom and a curiosity for the clandestine.

This curiosity served as the impetus for over 25 years of exhaustive research, culminating in Farmer's exploration of the enigmatic Knights of the Golden Circle, a secretive organization that left an indelible mark on American history.

While Farmer's latest book may appear to center on Texas, he says that the influence of the Knights of the Golden Circle extended far beyond state lines. In their engaging dialogue, Farmer and Jolley delved into the intricate web of historical events and characters that populate Farmer's narrative, offering audiences a fascinating glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of Southern history. Farmer's meticulous research and compelling storytelling were lauded by Jolley, underscoring the importance of celebrating local authors who illuminate the hidden corners of regional history.

As the celebration of local Georgia authors continues, Farmer's latest work stands as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in the American South, inviting readers to embark on a journey through time and uncover the untold stories that shape our collective identity.

Singleton's awakening to the lack of representation in books began early in her life. As a young African American girl, she found herself unable to identify with the characters she encountered in the pages of her favorite stories. Decades later, when her sons Jaylen and Ty voiced similar frustrations, Singleton knew it was time to act.

"I realized early on that most books I read didn't reflect my image or who I was as a person," Singleton shared during her radio appearance. "When Jaylen and Ty echoed those sentiments, it hit home for me. I saw a need for more books featuring non-stereotypical African American protagonists."

With a determination to be the change she wished to see, Singleton embarked on a remarkable journey of writing. Her debut series, "Jaylen & Ty’s Adventures: Based on True Stories," aims to fill the void she identified in children's literature. The series, comprising 15 books, follows the escapades of Jaylen and Ty as they navigate life's challenges with resilience and joy.

The first installment of the series, "Quit Following Me!," recently hit the shelves, captivating readers with its relatable characters and engaging narratives. And as anticipation mounts, Singleton's next book, "Tickle Me Mommy!," is slated for release on May 7th, promising more heartwarming tales of family and love.

"I want children to see themselves reflected in the stories they read," Singleton emphasized. "It's about fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment."

Singleton, who resides in Georgia with her sons Jaylen and Ty, as well as her mother, Linda, is not only a writer but also a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion in literature. Her mission has garnered widespread acclaim, earning her a devoted following of readers eager to embark on Jaylen and Ty's adventures.

As Georgia Radio shines a spotlight on local talent, Shannon Singleton's message resounds loud and clear: representation matters, and every child deserves to see themselves as the hero of their own story.

"I am honored and excited to be invited to sing "Sentimental Journey" with The Glenn Miller Orchestra," smiles Crystal Gayle. "I am a longtime fan of Glenn Miller and the big band era."

"We are excited and pleased to present alongside Hindsight Records our new recording celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Glenn Miller’s Army Air Force Band," shares Charles De Stefano, CEO of Glenn Miller Productions, Inc. "We are equally thrilled to have the wonderful Crystal Gayle join the Glenn Miller Orchestra on our recording of the great classic “Sentimental Journey.” We hope Glenn Miller Orchestra fans and Crystal’s fans around the world enjoy this new dynamic recording."

Between 1939 and 1942, Glenn Miller led The Glenn Miller Orchestra, which became one of the most recognized names globally during the “Swing” era. Boasting an unmatched series of chart-topping records, The Glenn Miller Orchestra surpassed the sales of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, Tommy Dorsey, and Harry James combined. Throughout three and a half years, Miller produced 16 chart-toppers and 72 top-ten hits, including a remarkable 31 in 1940 alone and earning the first-ever gold record for “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” Miller's music not only defined the era of World War II but has endured as a timeless soundtrack, with bands carrying his legacy performing to enthusiastic crowds over the 80 years since his passing. Today, under the direction of Erik Stabnau, the current Glenn Miller Orchestra maintains a rigorous schedule, standing as one of the few full-time big bands still thriving in the contemporary music scene.

"Crystal Gayle and The Glenn Miller Orchestra are a natural together on "Sentimental Journey" - a trip back in time to revisit the sounds of the 1940s and the perfect introduction to The Glenn Miller Orchestra: 80th Anniversary Of The Army Air Force Band." - Erik Stabnau - Music Director for The Glenn Miller Orchestra

In an unprecedented move for McEuen,the album is 11 spoken word tracks, all mini movies with his unique style ofmusic behind each one. From the opening title track, which is a true storyabout a man who sold newspapers and was a tremendous influence on the youngmusician in Los Angeles, to the final cut, “Julie’s Theme,” inspired by JulesVerne telling a friend, in a French cemetery, about his recently deceased youngwife, McEuen presents an album filled with stories that will inspire andperhaps bring a tear to your eye.

The different tracks on the album rage from “Killed at theFord,” a Civil War-era poem that tells of the death of a young soldier as heand friends go to meet a picket-guard by a ford. Although no trouble is expected, a shot isfired from the woods and the young man is dead. Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellowdoesn’t end the poem there, but relates how it affects the young man’s familyat home.

“The Cremation of Sam McGee,” one of the most famous poemswritten by Robert Service, was published in 1907. It is told from theperspective of the man who cremates the prospector who froze to death in theYukon while searching for gold.

The Stephen Vincent Benét poem “The Mountain Whippoorwill”was published in 1925. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released it on their album“Stars & Striped Forever” in 1974.

“Fly Trouble” is a Hank Williams Sr. classic from 1949, and oneof “talking blues” numbers that McEuen has recited many times over the pastyears.

“Old Rivers” was written by Cliff Crofford andreleased by Walter Brennan in 1963, while Thomas Monroe wrote “Nui Ba Den”while he was in Vietnam in 1968. More recent writings are “Pineapple John” byJohn Carter Cash, Hans Olson’s “I’ll Be Glad When I Run Out Of Gas” andThaddeus Bryant’s “Red Clay.”

“I have been around the world playing music and collectingstories for… a long time,” McEuen acknowledges. “As a teenager, well beforeNitty Gritty Dirt Band, I loved Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man.Before I started playing I must have recited “Ya Got Trouble”2,000times! Later, when performing became part of the life I picked, every now andthen I would do one of these ‘stories’ (often a Hank Williams talking blues) onstage, always happy about how well they went over.

“I did The Mountain Whippoorwill for many years with theearly Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Then, another story would come along, be learned,and ‘filed away’ for a future date. ‘The stories’ soon tired of waiting to ‘getdone’.

“So, I did them.”

McEuen credits work he has done on film scores as a majorinfluence on this album. He especially credits Tommy Lee Jones, who along with SissySpacek starred in “Good Ole Boys,” for which he did the soundtrack.

“At this point of my career, film score work (14 cool scores)gave me the experience of putting background music with words and picture,without getting ‘in the way’ with music,” McEuen says. “I learned from TommyLee Jones, while I was doing a score for him, that when someone says ‘Hey,that’s a great score going on there,’ the music person has failed to supportthe picture. You can’t let the music dominate, it has to support what’shappening.’ So it sometimes is with spoken word. This album is a soundtrack forfilms not yet made.”

McEuen says that watching the Tom Hanks film News of theWorld made him finish this album. “I feel like that character, having toread the news to people who have not yet heard it. And, my first ‘song’, thetitle cut, was about that type of fellow in a way, and hisstory had tobe told.

“I find in this final year of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, this albumcomes in a good space. That was a great 50-year run for me, and now that it hasrun its course, it’s time for The Newsman!

“I look forward to going out and telling people about those 50years that impacted so many, especially me, playing some new music, andthrowing a few of these stories in along the way.”

McEuen believes these spoken word offerings can fit on radio.“It is my suggestion that programmers add one of these cuts in between othermusic they are playing, finding styles that fit each – as they are eachdifferent. Listening to The Newsman from top to bottom is a lot to askof anyone! I look forward to seeing what people program with various cuts.”

John Berry's musical journey spans over three decades and includes an impressive discography of twenty-five albums.

With an incredible twenty singles on the charts, including six reaching the Top 5 and one securing the coveted #1 spot on the Billboard country charts, Berry's impact on the genre is undeniable.

Throughout his career, Berry has earned prestigious accolades, including a GRAMMY win for his participation in Amazing Grace: A Country Salute to Gospel Vol. 1. He made history in 1999 with the release of "There He Goes," a posthumous duet with the legendary Patsy Cline. In 2020, Berry continued to captivate audiences with his collaboration on the Billboard charting single, “Give Me Back The 90’s,” with newcomers Joe & Martina, paying homage to the iconic era in country music. Additionally, his TV show, 'Songs & Stories with John Berry,' provided fans with a unique glimpse into his life and music, airing on various platforms worldwide.

Despite facing adversity, including a diagnosis of throat cancer in 2019, Berry's indomitable spirit and determination saw him through thirty-five treatments of radiation and chemotherapy, which he successfully completed. As Berry prepares for his 28th Annual Christmas Tour this year, fans can look forward to experiencing his timeless music and infectious energy live on stage.

Premiered by Center Stage Magazine, Wesley's version of the holiday favorite adds a distinctive flair to the original recording, infusing it with his signature blend of country rock. The track captures the essence of the season with a vibrant energy that promises listeners a unique and memorable holiday musical experience.

“My version of 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' is a high-energy and updated version of this Christmas classic,” shares Wesley. “I have always loved performing this song live, making it the perfect single for me to release this year. Although it is a bit different, it was important to stay true to the spirit of the original.”
