Episode 271 - Clint Black

from The Raised Rowdy Podcast Hosted by Nick Tressler and Kurt Ozan

In this episode of The Raised Rowdy Podcast, hosts Kurt Ozan and Nick Tressler sit down with legendary country artist Clint Black for an in-depth conversation about his new book The Killin’ Time, the stories behind his iconic career, and the mindset that helped shape one of country music’s most respected artists. Clint opens up about the creative process behind writing the memoir, his dedication to artistic integrity, and why staying true to the music always mattered more than chasing trends or commercial expectations. The conversation dives deep into his early days grinding through the Texas music scene, co-writing classics with Hayden Nicholas, recording demos in a garage, and the rapid rise that led to becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry just a few years after breaking onto the scene. Clint also shares unforgettable stories involving legends like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, and even dinner parties with Hollywood icons during his years living in California with wife Lisa Hartman Black. From surviving difficult label battles and launching his own record company to reflecting on fatherhood, legacy, and the future of country music, Clint delivers one of the most insightful and inspiring conversations the podcast has featured.
