Phil’s neighbor Kix Brooks drops by to share stories about songwriting and life on the road over a bottle of wine from his Tennessee based winery, Arrington Vineyards.
Brooks & Dunn frontman, legendary radio host, and Phil’s longtime friend Kix Brooks stops by the cellar to share old stories and talk about all things wine. Kix reminds Phil of a story about how the latter’s parents not-so-gently directed him away from becoming a drummer. Brooks shares his process of starting a winery in Tennessee - which used to be the 3rd largest grape growing state before the tobacco boom - and how Arrington Vineyards has been creating 20+ different wines for the past 11 years with a large portion of grapes being grown on their own property. He pivots back to music, and shares the inspiration and process behind writing Brooks & Dunn’s hit song, “Red Dirt Road.”
