S E126: Why We Opted Out of AI Music—Plus Has Everybody Gone Soft? :: Ep 126 Try That in a Small Town Podcast

What happens when working songwriters are asked to let artificial intelligence learn from their music? Kurt, Tully, Kelley and Neil discuss an AI-music opportunity presented through their publishing platform, explain why they opted out and debate whether AI should enhance human creativity—or whether allowing it to generate entire songs crosses the line. The guys also examine Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen’s award-show nominations, Taylor Swift’s return to country, artists imitating Morgan’s sound and the resurgence of traditional country music. Then the conversation turns to playing shows while sick, whether touring musicians need therapy, artists dressing like they’re headed to the gym, parental leave, overly long voice messages, secret speakerphones, inconsiderate parking, valet drivers and children on leashes. Plus, Tully receives an original retraction jingle and the guys deliver another round of DipShidiots. SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!
