About this episode
Hop on the bus for this week’s episode of TL’s Road House as Tracy Lawrence welcomes Greylan James: hit songwriter best known for co-writing Jordan Davis’ “Next Thing You Know,” Kenny Chesney’s “Happy Does,” songs for Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton and more. James also just released his buzzy new track “Water At A Wedding,” garnering fast attention on social media. James grew up in Knoxville, TN, just five minutes away from where his idol Kenny Chesney got his start. In 2016, he made the move to Nashville and found success quickly with multiple No. 1s at Country radio as a writer. The two chat about upgrading to their first tour buses, the power of country music storytelling that’s bleeding into new genres and how hard it was to break out as an artist before grasping the importance of virility. Listen now for a side-stage look at the songwriting and rising artist world through Greylan James!
