Damn it, Rick!! Your stories are great!! Very entertaining and sometimes outrageous and completely engulfing. I never get tired of listening to you. After hearing the way that you describe things and the ideas that you share show that you understand music in a way that most will never know - even those already established in the music industry! I wish that we could get together some time and have a couple beers and make a documentary about your life and career. I bet it would make an awesome number one movie of all time! So many stories and people and things that you have had a part in and so many lives that you have changed. This story is one for the books! Talk about irony - this one is definitely the epitome of it. I am glad that you have decided to share these with us and have a channel where we can talk to you directly and have a better understanding of the music scene from your point of view and be entertained at the same time. WOW!!! It's all I can say about this story in a nutshell. A lot of weird things have happened and this is no different but it sounds like a cult classic in the making. Thank you once again for sharing this with the rest of us!

When Rick Beato says it's not a clickbait, you bet your life it's not.

Thing i learned about this, besides that Rick is a great Producer, was the fact the song 'Carolina' was absolutely no different that the thousand others written and played just like it...i guess the difference of a number one hit and a number 99 hit is the half a million dollars thrown at it to make it number one...thats how it works folks~

Someone in the record company decides that the whole package is right for the times, and they are confident that the band can record enough saleable records, perform enough tours and keep their sh1t together long enough for the company to recoup their investment and make a bit of money for candy as well. IMO, the producer has a LOT to do with it. Listen to some demos and then listen to what gets made in the studio. Producers make a BIG difference.

He did heard nothing for a few weeks untill Steven Tyler calls him up to say the songs too sad. The song sat around for years. His rep calls him up one day to say another band is interested. Heard nothing for months. The manager of the band reaches out to say the band hates the song but that he is going to make them record it. It becomes the band's first number one hit ever. 25 years in the band has announced they ending.

I am not interested in the specific dollars, but I would have like Rick to talk about royalty split given how many hands were involved over that period of time. I am fascinated by the production/writing credits for major hits.

Yeah I remember this being on the radio it was definitely different from most of the other country stuff out at the time. But for me as a rock n roll kid I wasn’t super crazy about country but I did like this song.

Rick, you know what I was thinking when I heard that song again (after being familiar, have definitely heard it before) was like "Wow, this sounds almost like a Nickelback ballad or something like that. A Like a Hard-Rock pop song, but sang by a guy with a southern accent." And then when you played your original demo I thought even more that way. The delays and stuff were just very, reminiscent of "Far Away" by Nickelback. This is big praise, genuinely. this isn't meant to be derogatory in any way, lol.

My crazy music story. I was a CPA tax specialist who just picked up an elderly well-to-do new client. Because they were in poor health, I visited them at their home. Everything was normal in their financial situation, except for a royalty statement from a recording label showing a hefty amount. When I asked about it, here’s the amazing story they shared: their only daughter had left home at an early age and had followed rock bands closely. Eventually she became married to a member of the band Steppenwolf, who shared writing credit for “Magic Carpet Ride.” He died in a motorcycle accident making their daughter a widow and owner of those royalties. Then she was gunned down in a drug gang shootout, making her parents the heirs to the royalties just at the time CDs were replacing vinyl and all those great rock songs produced a gusher of new royalties. I had to bring them a copy of my Steppenwolf CD so they could see and hear what had produced that royalty check they had received!

I love your stories Rick. The way you explain the song and the way they are put together, It makes more sense after. Thanks from Ireland and much love.

The song itself made me roll my eyes so hard i caught a glimpse of my own brain but storytime with Rick is always fun and entertaining. No need to shoot each other, though. Stop shooting at each other y’all.

You mention NEEDTOBREATHE and how you had worked with them, too, as you’re telling this story. I can’t believe I didn’t know that. That’s what digital has done to me. I was a liner notes reader as a kid and even more so as I got more interested in music production and ended up at Belmont U in Nashville studying audio production and getting my degree in the music business. I’ve been watching your KZread channel for a while now, enjoying your content, but had no idea you worked with one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite band, of the last 10 or so years. I think NEEDTOBREATHE might be the most underrated band of the last decade. I’m going to find some liner notes now and see which albums/songs you worked on. Keep up the great content and the great work.

wow, what a great story! Whether a song has three or thirty chords, I believe it's the people it reaches, the joy it gives, the memories it makes that make it a great tune! Congratulations!

So glad Rick has a #1 on his resume. Rick a true master and one of the few men who can teach my old 50 year old self about music. Proud to say in 3 cases I predicted his top 3 for bass intro (Nirvana), electric guitar intro (Nirvana) and guitar solo (Pink Floyd).

Parmalee is from my hometown. I grew up playing music with those guys. Great group of guys. Growing up I never would have thought they would have gone country. Loved rock music. Loved blues. But they seemed to fall right in the pocket as people like Jason Aldean was coming in to the scene. Growing up in the south and with the accents, we've always had a "southern rock" sound and I think that's why the transition was so effortless when they decided to take that route. They weren't pandering. The country scene was evolving. Just my take. Awesome job on the song too Rick!

@djjazzyjeff1232

I believe you when you say they weren't pandering. But I have to say, they were being a bit "opportunistic." I'm an independent rock artist, and if I wanted an easy out right now, it seems like country would be the way to go. As far as genres go, Country is just a much larger genre. Country is like the US and Rock is like the UK, as far as population. So it's very tempting, genuinely, except when you're from Minnesota, like me, you're pretty, how should I say, "Geographically excluded" lol.

So props to you both and for them actually being honest and sharing in the wealth. How much of the killer gear behind you would you say you bought with that writing credit alone?

Great stuff Rick, keep it coming!!!

Nice song, Rick. I have noticed a lot of similarity between Country and R&B ballads, eg, the chord progressions like I-iii, and the universal subject matter of good love, bad love, and lost love. The main differences seem to be in singing style and orchestration. The quality of singers from Nashville and R&B is quite good, which is probably a reflection of early singing in the youth choirs in churches. Carolina could could be something a guy like Bruno Mars could sing with strings and horns.

Rick, I gotta disagree with you that it was "All Luck." Because in that interview, he had just been rejected by a record label, and rather than getting mad or just bummed and wanting to go home, he said, "Ok, fair. But if you had signed us, what would have been the next thing you'd have us do?" I don't see that as luck at all, I see that as a man taking life by the horns and making the best out of a demoralizing situation. Extrapolating that over his whole career for the things and stories that we'll never know about, I'm just betting that it's no accident that they got there one day.

100% on Big Country. The Storm would be a great choice.

Always liked the drum intro on the album version of 'In a Big Country'. Songwise I'm partial to 'Harvest Home' but it's IaBC that everyone in the States knows.

Wow, that's awesome! I'm from NC and don't listen to country but I'm pretty sure I've heard that played on some other stations back in the day that played popular music, "rock" etc.

I'm not a Fan of Country myself but seeing you are Involved with one that became #1 is quite an Achievement! Like a Golden Opportunity just fell right on you there Rick!

It's a nicely sung and put together song, in a "sounds like every other damn thing" kind of way.

Oh yeah

I liked that bit of demo you played better than the finished version.

Living in NC, I love the song. I think I've heard it on the radio multiple times. Thanks for sharing the story!

The demo version reminds me of a Daughtry sounding song funnily enough.

The chorus lyrics seem to echo "I'm looking California, but I'm feeling Minnesota" off Outshined by Soundgarden to me

I immediately thought about that. That lyric is one of my favourites

Rick is a fantastic story teller and I am hooked to this channel!

I completely forgot about this song until I watched this video… so cool that you were part of it cause it was one of my favs!

That was one hell of a story! The band sounds great and the musicianship along with the vocals is top-shelf sounding! I'm going to say something but please do not take it as being negative but they sound like a lot of bands doing these styles of music. With that said I hope they continue to have success and sell many more albums!!!

Great Story ! .. I am not a big fan of Country Music but I can appreciate the work you did on this Song ..

I've heard this on the radio alot back in the day. Pretty good !!

August, 2021 and the song is STILL in heavy rotation on iHeart radio "New" country radio stations.

Amazing story.

Rick you should do a top 20 saxophone solos list

You should look up Better Sax, he’s done a few “best of” sax solos, and it’s more in his wheelhouse since he’s an actual sax player. I love Rick Beato but he’s no a horn player, just like I wouldn’t want to see better sax make a best of guitar solos.
