In Episode 13 Harold, Russ, and Wade sit down with legendary music producer and real cowboy, Eddie Kilroy. 

Harold and Eddie met in engineering school in Texas in 1959!!   A lifelong friendship was born.   Here's a little about Eddie  - After moving to Nashville, Kilroy gained a position as a producer at Mercury Records. Kilroy's first studio record, produced in 1968, proved to be a hit for Jerry Lee Lewis — and made Kilroy the "one man responsible" for changing the fortunes of Jerry Lee Lewis' flagging career.

Kilroy was a producer at Westpark Records in the early 1970s, and became president of Playboy Records when he founded the label for Hugh Hefner, for whom he signed Mickey Gilley. He recorded "Roomful of Roses" in 1974 with Mickey Gilley, and the album became a number one country western hit – Gilley went on to create six number one albums with Playboy. From there Kilroy moved to become the co-president of the MCA Nashville Records office. While at MCA Kilroy signed Faron Young to the label and produced two albums with Young: Chapter Two (1979) and Free and Easy (1980).  In 1981 Eddie produced Louise Mandrell & RC Bannon on RCA records.

Eddie Kilroy went independent after leaving MCA, and as an independent he produced the last album by Marty Robbins.

Eddie developed and built a classic country music station for the newly created XM Satellite Radio company called Hank's Place, and later Willie's Place.

Eddie now hosts Kilroy's Behind the Music: Stories of Outlaws & Legends Podcast.  You can find it here:

About Fergie:
Fergie's career began in 1980 when "Cowboy" Jack Clement hired him as a runner at Clement's Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa, in Nashville, Tennessee, where Ferguson worked as an engineer after a couple of years. It was while working at Clement's studio in 1982 that Ferguson first met Johnny Cash.[1] Other artists that Ferguson worked with in the 1980s included Charley Pride, Eddy Arnold, and rock-n-roll band U2.[1] Ferguson appeared as himself in U2's 1988 film, Rattle and Hum, and portrayed his mentor and once real-life boss, Jack Clement in the 1989 biographical drama film Great Balls of Fire! about Jerry Lee Lewis.

In the 1990s and 2000s, Ferguson worked as the engineer on Johnny Cash's Grammy Award-winning American Recordings albums produced by Rick Rubin, beginning with American Recordings (1994) and continuing through American VI: Ain't No Grave (2010).

You may remember Brian from episodes 1-4.  
Brian Rawling's gut has driven more revenue in one year than most companies make in a lifetime. Brian is a one man think tank with over 20 years of experience as an award-winning publisher and as an executive of one of the world's largest entertainment corporations.
Served as VP at Disney for seventeen years, working on some of their biggest projects (Lion King spin-offs, High School Musicals, Hannah Montana, Deep Purple and Bad Company.) Also managed creative for theme park rides, cartoons, TV series, 40 movies, and the occasional ice show. In addition to Disney creative, set up foreign sub-pub deals, business affairs, HR, operations, licensing, biz dev and copyright IP digitization. Participated directly in 22 number one records, three songs of the year, a few Grammys and thirty platinum or gold records (that he can find). Co-ran Leiber and Stoller Music for two years, did deals with Buick for "Stand By Me" and got the ball rolling for a little Broadway show called "Smokey Joe's Cafe". Served on the Grammy Board of Governor. (From IMDB page).  

We hope you're enjoying the podcast series.
