Capitol Records Nashville

It was all the exact same beat that you could just put to whatever.

Once something, Jimmy Bowen basically got into Capitol Records.

Yeah.

And then he signed Garth Brooks.

But 1992.

Capitol Records Nashville released Somewhere Other Than the Night by Garth Brooks, which became a number one.

It was the second single released from his album, which was Somewhere Other Than the Night.

The Chase and his 15th overall, anyway, big time for Garth Brooks back on this date in 92.

They were trying to make her probably the next Leanne Rimes at the time, but a deal fell through with Capitol Records 20 years later in 2017.

She actually signs with Capitol Nashville.

Now it's Capitol Nashville.

It was like a full circle moment.

I always change.

Yeah

... uh, it was brought from Canada by Mr. Frank Jones, who was heading up the country division of Capitol Nashville.

And he brought this song back thinking it would be a great Gene Watson song, and really I, I didn't care for it.

I, and I went in the studio and, and tried to, to, you know, get to like it and put it together and everything, and, and, uh, and it, I didn't make it.

[laughs]

Uh, but anyway, so now I'm on Arista, and, and my contract's getting ready to come up at Arista, and Garth, I've, the only reason I wound up at Capitol, here's how it happened.

I, I'd written Long Neck Bottle.

I was writing stuff for other people.

Mm-hmm.

"So right now." And so I said, "I probably, my contract coming up, so, uh, I'm gonna be a free agent pretty soon." He goes, "You should, you need to play this for Pat Quigley.

Will you go play this for those guys at Capitol if you're interested in being there?" And I go, "Yeah, I probably would." I said, uh, yeah, I said, "I'm probably not gonna, they're not wanting to make a record there, so, uh, yeah, I probably would." And so I go down.

Anyway, long story.
