Summary

What an episode we have for y’all today! We are joined by the frontman of American Aquarium, Mr. BJ Barham, to discuss Pam Tillis’ 1991 hit “Maybe It Was Memphis.” BJ is very familiar with the hit, as he covers it on his unbelievably good 90s country cover album Slappers Bangers & Certified Twangers Vol. 2. Check that album out and get ready to learn about the ins and outs of songwriting, what makes a reference acceptable vs. corny, and why Pam Tillis is a GROWN A*S WOMAN. 


Find BJ’s info at AmericanAquarium.com.

Yeah, man. Hell yeah, dude. We were talking about you on the plane yesterday. We had a realization.

0:38.3

I did. It wouldn't have mattered because of the timing, but you had asked us to be a part

0:42.4

of one of your shows and we couldn't do it. And the reason we couldn't do it got canceled,

0:47.6

but like very recently.

0:49.6

Well, very recently.

0:53.2

We also got replaced with a new saying pretty much immediately, so we asked, but, you know,

0:58.4

also you're still out is what you're saying. Yeah. Yes. Okay. I canceled the new thing.

1:07.1

I had remembered that because I'd be like, no, no new thing. Right. Well, that's what

1:12.3

I get for calling you guys in December and asking if you can do something February.

1:16.5

But it must be going to be booked.

1:19.1

That's fair. Matter of fact, that reminds me, stay on the horn afterwards. I need to talk

1:22.4

to you about June. Well, anyway, welcome to the show. The first thing I want to talk about,
