a little over a week ago, as he was relaxing back in Ft. Worth
. Having chronicled much of his career in this blog and elsewhere, it was a conversation I had looked forward to. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the interview. As you might imagine, this is a very busy time for Casey as he begins this new chapter in his life. It was nice to catch him in relative repose, with his dogs
around him, just talking about music.So, here's the link to part one. There's more from that hour-and-a-half conversation for a part two, which I'll get out shortly. I also hope I'll be getting another chance to talk with Casey after he settles into his new home away from home. In the meantime, here is Casey before he headed off to Nashville

And here's the picture his mom tweeted with the line up of guitars
that are making the trip with him.

I LOVE the genuine passion he has for music. I find that such an attractive quality in people, to have a real passion like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shari - what an awesome article. I love the way Casey described how he feels when he's performing. I know what he means - I used to feel that way when I was a young girl playing the piano. He is so special. Looking forward to Part 2.

What would we do without you? heheh
ReplyDeleteThank so much!!! (hug)
Thank you so much Shari! Absolutely loved this interview, how you ask a question and then let him take the question wherever he wants to go with it. It really captures a picture of Casey that I have come to recognize from videos etc--his absolute passion for music, the breadth and depth of his musical exposure and knowledge, his confidence, his reflectiveness about life, and his excitement. Fabulous! Heather aka thankyoublues
ReplyDeleteShar, just loved this interview with Casey! I can't wait until we can hear his new music and

I read this early today and I have to say, I was imagining what it must be like to talk to him for that long!! Wow, You give us the best and you are so appreciated!! I love all your articles, but of course Casey is special, love this guy so much, can't wait for the first music video, and when know when the time comes, we'll be the first to know cause you will be on it like white on rice! Love ya girl, thanks for all you do! Can't wait for part two!
ReplyDeleteI love your articles on Casey they are always so informative and leaves us knowing that Casey is in good hands and that he is o.k. I can't wait to hear his album when he finishes it. I know him and Aaron will have a great time in Nashville, I was just there and I saw Aaron briefly he was running into the Sony building. No I wasn't stalking him I was on a tour of music row and just happened to see him run past me, and I think he recognized me but I froze lol I am so excited for Casey and wish him the best of luck, please continue to keep us updated.
ReplyDeleteCan I also add, that as I was reading your article, I've been going back and forth with your article as I write my own, and as I was reading this about Casey, Travis Tritt comes to mind, Casey in a way not in looks reminds me of Travis Tritt, I think Travis brought the bluesy type edge to his music and it sold, it sold big time. He became a legend rather quickly. I was a DJ for a local radio station here in Mobile, and I remember as Travis Tritt sailed up the charts with his music, I think we will see this out of Casey as well. I have never heard one bad word about Casey's performances while on tour with American Idol. I am a Casey fan and a Lee fan, as I followed these two boys on their journey thanks to twitter and youtube, I see that Casey is already one of the most well liked and highly commended for his performances. Also I think that Casey, broke down some walls through American idol, at first he came across as someone that showed very little emotion, but we are starting to see the humble side of Casey I think it all started with his homecoming. I have to say Casey and Billy are both very very good sweet young men, and you can tell they were raised by a wonderful woman I can just feel that Ms. James has a sweet spirit. These boys are a product of their raising and we are going to see some great things out of both of them. The Good Lord didn't bring Casey James into this world for nothing, with every breath he is touching lives all over the world. He survived that accident for a reason, whatever God has in store for him its going to be powerful, and I can't wait to see the outcome.
ReplyDeleteThank you,Shari and Casey for sharing this interview with us. It has been quiet on the "Casey front" since the tour ended, so this was a refreshing welcome to my morning news.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Casey has gotten refreshed, and ready for his move to Nashville, and making his album. I so look forward to supporting his career, and hopefully seeing him in person during his next tour.
Most wonderful job you did with the interview Shari Thanks for shareing it with us.
