We have 90's country star, Bryan White, with us on this week's episode of Stories Behind the Songs!

I’ve known Bryan for years - even before I met him, I was learning to play his songs on guitar to impress the girls in my college dorm. In this episode, we discuss some of his biggest songs including “Someone Else’s Star” and “Rebecca Lynn” as well as the songs he’s written for other big artists like Diamond Rio. 

We also talk about the challenge of writing uptempo when you’re used to writing sad songs, crafting unlikely chord progressions and key changes, having a hit outside of the U.S., and duetting with the legend herself, Shania Twain. 

Bryan performs a snippet of his song, “Sittin’ on Go” as well his personal favorite, “Dustbowl Dreams” which he wrote with Alan Shamblin, and he shares how this one reconnected him with his Oklahoma roots.

If you enjoyed this episode of Stories Behind the Songs, make sure to share it with your friends and give us a follow. We are passionate about uplifting songwriters and their stories, and it’s because of listeners like YOU that we are able to continue doing it.

And, as always, a big shoutout to our sponsors! Thanks to Sennheiser microphones, Alclair in-ear monitors, and Imperfect Aesthetician for all the love!
