Good morning buffalo where where were axle here man it's springtime and to enjoy doing these little tiny bit intimate bar gigs like this.
Well -- I wouldn't trigger Chinese I mean you know 500 people of something it's not. I mean that's the big twelve for me.
First of all you're gonna love the trial the trial the acoustics everything are perfect right their -- know you'll have a good time. You spotlight obviously you -- spotlight your album American sunshine but did he go back and do some of the old men at work songs when when when you're doing the solo gigs.
But I don't critical back computer never stop playing them -- source not -- I have to go back never you know I would never actually live never. Like never ball actually do actual actual actually the movie night for the last few years.
Now I know your album and I'm looking at some of the graphics are you going -- lists or do you have the beard on this tour because. I think you look a lot like sting when he had that beard you guys to be lookalike separated at birth.
Why apple got just -- so little that little look I didn't get a good look at capt Phillips fine -- a big compared with input along strike you know even. Musically lyrically and I'm not lyric is -- Oakley and so forth. Well he's got a he's got amazing career and this -- child of god so you know helping veterans post not a problem.
Now the album American sunshine you will have lived here in the states I think for what twenty years. What do what is your glance at the American dream right now is it that we don't realize how great our country is. I was reading on your bio -- you were kind of not fed up for America is right now -- the influence for American sunshine.
Clarify what he wants saying you know if you go to complicated country with a complicated. You know and it's very. It's. You know that's a lot of jealousy involved with with what of these kids. When you when you check out what's going wrong you know but I'm very excited about the fact confirmed. The President Obama can power because -- huge sigh of -- prison -- those I was incredibly. It was an amazing trying to be an American when he was aborted policy I have great. Our country -- great -- and so forth so that was one idea what the American. Americans sunshine because she should be anyway on the council level it was a very hopeful sign true love for this country that. You know what this this country been very trying to -- over the years and I don't shoot me very well fly have a lot of I have a low low level for those -- for the people here you know so. I love living here an interest in this sociable a contractual street under the weight because the -- is much bigger about. If a country full of immigrants from China because China and exchange of all different kinds of people have been fought. It's a truly trivia. You know heroic thing to do you know -- are vulnerable to form a little off to a.
Those are some great thoughts are coming from Colin hey his new album American sunshine. He will be a betrayal on Sunday night. The the album is I went through it and for those who haven't listened to a yet or gotten it you should but -- especially if you're a fan of older Eagles albums. Or do you remember the old band America got this this reminded me of like there are horses horse -- no name. It's songs that are kind of like debit seemed type up California feel.
Okay. But you remember you don't -- but can post but yeah I've learned about -- sure.
Yeah I just -- with the acoustic guitar just major if you want it this is an album you wanna put in ball you're paying your house in the summer or may be sitting in the backyard or something like that it's provocative led the writing is excellent. But the but the songs are very that they're summary hence the name American sunshine.
That's part that was actually you you pick up Obama actually wanted to write about recording an album which would be good to figure -- thought.
Oh come mod. That aren't are you my -- are you mocking me now. Maybe a little bull -- but no let's drop element there are some albums -- on and it's like -- And I know you do if you know you can also use it when you're going in with -- Gary your color -- If you look great as well you have a great sense of humor and that's why.
Oh wait for music you popped up I like the Larry Sanders Show you were a couple episodes of scrubs. -- you get those gigs because you know people they know your sense of humor putted all that come about you doing all the side stuff.
I just from playing -- and die in Hollywood wouldn't playing him in the club some people people of what were they in the country and my show so that's what they such virtues and would probably come about.
We're chatting with Colin hey he'll be in town -- the Trout -- know Mother's Day Sunday night it's gonna be a great shows you could tell just from you know his music and -- for you really no sense of humor. I got to ask you one thing. That was in the news and not too long ago. -- the Coca Bora thing did you guys really have to pay up forty or 60% of your royalties. From low -- it down under some weasel dire some weasel company sued you for ripping off the flu -- for something like get out of that turn out.
Weren't conduct yet he's still going on it's still it's in the field so. Yeah -- we big shoot at the moment all myself. What the writer song home. Do you find these problems should be sinful. But -- called -- who runs a company called Lowe's can use this publishing industry whistle. Yeah they they asked for achieved its gentle old. -- done under. Because you weren't cheap. You lied or they actually that's what this appropriated so. The registry setting from you as a songwriter is that we're who -- quote shall -- mentioned -- the -- there was no matter what there was no fluke and I also the song is for the before. And whatever whatever Shabazz great Greg. You know -- that we appropriated for a -- hookah bar which was. You'll certainly have consciences. We laden of course what that was. Wasn't substantial part of this -- forward on some -- you. -- people started in the recording of the song. Has nothing to in the composition of the small moon and so what you know a couple of years before that -- in situations -- and should be. You know it's great great little -- of the salt. But I be sure it's something but I had really. Nothing to do for first place so it's kind of adjusted.
While Google good luck -- that is that plays out we'll see here in buffalo betrayal fund -- Sunday night.
I remember that I remembered just quietly that's -- we've rescued more to America that we played we opened up for Fleetwood Mac has been pushed out into Jerusalem. From other gigs of our lord I -- member of buffalo this being a solution which really. Contrast to force. So good fortune and pulled him.
that is a great story thank you so much for remembering that because. I'm sure there are fans listening now who saw you you know so many years ago yeah it it it. The war -- Sony did Sony that that the EU would remember something like that I guarantee you just sold the place out at the drop on Sunday night just saying that.
Roster but I can't remember who made -- depart -- a big -- was kind of it was probably that this problem the rock and roll the rock that you actually it was China was -- huge place.
I'm betting it was called uncle Sam's was that. Uncle Sam's.
Thought no I can't remember the name of the -- so I always remember that it was it was where and I cannot realized all of you actually Rudy. Yeah actually really like.
With the -- man. It's funny when that happens lightning strikes and you remember what it does yeah. The new album where the new albums American sunshine hey brother yeah like you said we'll see you Sunday united patrol thank you Colin April the time this morning. --
