Sunday,
August 30 SGA President Rick Carnes appeared on WRFN radio with
his wife Janis Carnes. Both songwriters were interviewed by WRFN's
Wendy V and performed several songs.
In 1983, Rick wrote Reba McEntire’s first number one hit "I Can’t Even Get the Blues No More" and co-wrote with Janis and Chip Hardy on three top ten hits for the Whites; "You Put the Blue In Me," "Hangin’ Around" and "Pins And Needles." He co-wrote the Garth Brooks hit "Long Neck Bottle" with Steve Wariner and also had success with album cuts on such artists as Dean Martin, Alabama, Conway Twitty, Karen Brooks, Loretta Lynn, Lacy J. Dalton, Johnny Rodriguez, Janie Fricke, Ronnie McDowell, T.G. Sheppard, Pam Tillis and many others including three more Reba McEntire cuts. Janis also has had numerous album cuts by Reba McEntire, Eddy Raven, Lacy J. Dalton, the Kendalls, Karen Brooks, J.C. Jones, Steve Wariner and others. |

Rick and Janis talked a lot about
their writing process in general. When asked what it was like to
hear songs they wrote on the radio for the first time, Rick recalls
hearing his (and Reba's) first #1 on the radio: he was driving down
the road and heard the song come on, but his car radio conked out
just at that moment!
They also focused on Janis' project "Hoagy and Me" with covers of Hoagy Carmichael songs woven seamlessly with songs Rick and Janis wrote in the same style. It's a two disc CD with the vocals on one disc and all instrumentals of the songs on the other. Learn more about Janis' jazz CD at www.janiscarnes.com.
