The 9513 Interview With Bryan White

Most all of my loyal readers know that I'm a contributor to another great website called The 9513.com. This last week, I had the opportunity to sit down with country music singer/songwriter Bryan White and talk about his newest project, Dustbowl Dreams. Best known for “Someone Else’s Star” (1995), “Rebecca Lynn” (1996), “So Much for Pretending” (1996) and “Sittin’ on Go” (1997), this new release is far more introspective than any of his previous works and Bryan opens up about some pretty personal demons and inspirations that fueled the album.

You can see a snippet of the interview below but read the entire thing HERE.

"When all of that gets taken away from you, you have to really look at who you are and really pick that apart and start finding who you’re really made of. That’s when the character building really starts. Through some of that hiatus, I started identifying better with people–especially my home. Without sounding like a cliché, I really did go back to my roots and got into reading about where I came from. I was looking back through my lineage. I read a book about those that survived the dustbowl. I sort of did a big study for several years about where I’m from and the kind of people I’ve come from. I lost my granddad along the way who was really my father-figure. He was an auctioneer at the stockyard for thirty-something years. He was the only guy I ever saw who really got it done."
