Phil Vassar's Songs from the Cellar

Famed country music songwriter Craig Wiseman stops in the cellar to catch up with his longtime friend, Phil Vassar.

Craig tells the real life stories that inspired his legendary Tim McGraw hit, “Live Like You Were Dying.” He also shares his feelings on blending musical styles and blurring the genre lines. Phil and Craig discuss the influence that playing in bars early in their careers had on how they approached writing songs. They reminisce about writing “American Child” about Phil’s firstborn in the same house they’re recording the show in currently. They end their day talking about the inclusive attitude & influences behind their song “Bobbi With An ‘I’.”
