Rappaport To The Rescue

Alex Hall is ready to launch the next chapter of his career with his brand-new record, Side Effects Of The Heart. A project that tells the stories of everything the singer, songwriter, and guitar player’s heart has been through these last few years.

Growing up on a small horse farm on the outskirts of Gainesville, GA, Hall’s earliest memory is hearing Elvis Presley on is grandfather’s radio. It’s a sound he never forgot, and one that prompted him to pick up a guitar for the first time when he was only four years old. He started learning the instrument seriously in middle school, and quickly graduated from choir solos to bar gigs. By the time he was in high school, Hall was playing over 150 shows a year.

After graduation, Hall moved to Nashville, TN and signed with Monument Records. He spent the last few years opening for Tanya Tucker and hitting the road with Brandy Clark, Little Big Town, and Tenille Townes. His debut EP on Monument Records, Six Strings, was a guitar focused project featuring the playing and vocal stylings of Hall’s heroes and friends – Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, John Osborne (of Brothers Osborne), Brad Tursi (of Old Dominion), Tenille Townes, and Kassi Ashton. Six Strings gained national acclaim from the likes of Vintage Guitar Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Cowboys & Indians, and helped Hall to be named to the Fender Next 2021 program.

Last fall, Hall released his first full project as an artist with Side Effects Of The Heart, Baring it all, the record has a song for everyone…and a few for the dreamers out there like Alex Hall himself.

Jill Rappaport: Welcome back to Rappaport to the Rescue.

00:02:27.188 --> 00:02:36.328
Jill Rappaport: I'm Jill Rappaport, still enjoying and living in the moment of that amazing song, Women and Horses, performed by Alex Hall.

00:02:36.468 --> 00:02:38.888
Jill Rappaport: Alex, so nice to have you on the show.

00:02:39.228 --> 00:02:40.048
Alex Hall: Thank you so much.

00:02:40.068 --> 00:02:40.968
Alex Hall: It's nice to be here.

00:02:40.988 --> 00:02:41.648
Alex Hall: Thanks for having me.

00:02:41.708 --> 00:02:43.228
Jill Rappaport: And I know people can't see us.

00:02:43.288 --> 00:02:48.908
Jill Rappaport: I am wearing a cowboy hat, not only homage to you, but because I'm having a really bad hair day.

00:02:49.728 --> 00:02:50.528
Alex Hall: Me and you both.

00:02:50.768 --> 00:02:52.868
Alex Hall: Mine's not a cowboy hat, but yours looks good.

00:02:52.888 --> 00:02:55.748
Alex Hall: I just got off an airplane and literally just pulled it into my driveway.

00:02:55.768 --> 00:02:57.108
Alex Hall: So I'm right there with you.

00:02:57.348 --> 00:02:58.088
Alex Hall: You're looking great.

00:02:58.348 --> 00:03:01.608
Jill Rappaport: Let me talk about that song, Women and Horses.

00:03:01.628 --> 00:03:02.628
Jill Rappaport: You can't break them.

00:03:02.708 --> 00:03:04.088
Jill Rappaport: Ain't that the truth, huh?

00:03:04.228 --> 00:03:05.108
Alex Hall: Amen to that.

00:03:05.128 --> 00:03:05.668
Alex Hall: No kidding.

00:03:05.768 --> 00:03:06.348
Alex Hall: No kidding.

00:03:06.508 --> 00:03:09.828
Jill Rappaport: Tell me what inspired you to write that incredible song.

00:03:10.088 --> 00:03:11.608
Alex Hall: Well, one, thank you very much.

00:03:11.908 --> 00:03:16.628
Alex Hall: And I grew up on a small horse farm in North Georgia and I grew up rodeo and in barrel racing.

00:03:16.888 --> 00:03:21.968
Alex Hall: The majority of my childhood really, from the time that I could walk all the way up until I was about 14 or 15.

00:03:21.988 --> 00:03:26.828
Alex Hall: And that's when I started playing in bars and started pursuing my country music career, you know?

00:03:27.168 --> 00:03:34.908
Alex Hall: So I grew up around horses, grew up with that, but I also grew up with two really strong willed women in my life, which was my mom and my sister as well.

00:03:35.228 --> 00:03:39.188
Alex Hall: And two grandmothers that are just as fiery as well, that are still there too.

00:03:39.208 --> 00:03:41.368
Alex Hall: So I grew up with them my whole life.

00:03:41.388 --> 00:03:45.128
Alex Hall: And that's really, you know, my dad was a small business owner and was working all the time.

00:03:45.148 --> 00:03:47.988
Alex Hall: So we just grew up on the farm riding horses and stuff.

00:03:48.008 --> 00:03:49.228
Alex Hall: And so that's really how I grew up.

00:03:49.248 --> 00:03:57.388
Alex Hall: And so when I started thinking about this record and really how I kind of became who I am as almost a 30 year old man now at this point and everything else.

00:03:57.408 --> 00:04:01.328
Alex Hall: And I'm married now to another strong, very fiery independent woman.

00:04:01.568 --> 00:04:19.808
Alex Hall: You know, I really do believe that between all of those women and many others, but specifically those, and then also the horses that were a huge impact on raising me in their own way too, because I had to get up and feed them every morning before school, even when I was in elementary school, I had to get up before school and go do that and learn how to ride them and take care of them.

00:04:19.828 --> 00:04:22.588
Alex Hall: And they equally take care of you and all of the above.

00:04:22.608 --> 00:04:24.068
Alex Hall: And so I just thought a lot about that.

00:04:24.088 --> 00:04:27.628
Alex Hall: And I was writing with Brandy Clark for the very first time we actually had ever written together.

00:04:27.648 --> 00:04:29.888
Jill Rappaport: Wow, what an incredible artist.

00:04:30.108 --> 00:04:30.588
Alex Hall: No kidding.

00:04:30.608 --> 00:04:31.208
Alex Hall: She's amazing.

00:04:31.228 --> 00:04:33.368
Alex Hall: And she's featured singing on the song with me as well.

00:04:33.548 --> 00:04:36.808
Alex Hall: And she ironically came in with that title with Above Women and Horses.

00:04:36.828 --> 00:04:40.888
Alex Hall: She was reading a book and she's not really a horse person at all, which is hilarious.

00:04:41.168 --> 00:04:43.188
Jill Rappaport: But she's fiery so she could relate.

00:04:43.208 --> 00:04:44.668
Alex Hall: She is, she is.

00:04:44.868 --> 00:04:46.788
Alex Hall: And she didn't know that I grew up with horses either.

00:04:46.808 --> 00:04:53.848
Alex Hall: And so it was this weird serendipitous moment of like, she had this idea that was perfect for what I was wanting to write that day and kind of all came together.

00:04:53.868 --> 00:04:55.568
Alex Hall: And so out came Women and Horses.

00:04:55.788 --> 00:04:58.728
Alex Hall: And that's a very long explanation, but that's really what the song is about.

00:04:58.748 --> 00:05:02.348
Alex Hall: I wrote it for those women and the horses that helped shape me into who I am today.

00:05:02.608 --> 00:05:04.008
Jill Rappaport: And I can so relate to it.

00:05:04.048 --> 00:05:06.028
Jill Rappaport: Every verse really hit home with me.

00:05:06.368 --> 00:05:12.408
Jill Rappaport: And I know animals have had such a huge impact on your life, obviously, especially horses.

00:05:12.428 --> 00:05:19.228
Jill Rappaport: And now you're part of this amazing campaign, Seen Through Horses, how they really touched you and changed your life.

00:05:19.488 --> 00:05:20.108
Alex Hall: Absolutely.

00:05:20.128 --> 00:05:31.388
Alex Hall: I mean, again, I don't think I realized it until I was a little bit older, but down to the work ethic of continuing to try to pursue my dream of music, which is one of the greatest things in the world, but also one of the hardest things to achieve in the world as well.

00:05:31.788 --> 00:05:35.468
Alex Hall: I think the work ethic of, you know, again, having to take care of those horses.

00:05:35.488 --> 00:05:46.628
Alex Hall: And as a kid, keep an animal alive that weighs 1500 pounds, but also the therapeutic aspect of getting on the back of a horse and just going to ride and get away from everything as well, which I also learned at a very young age.

00:05:47.128 --> 00:05:52.828
Alex Hall: So, I mean, I think horses again, did very specifically, I think, impact my life a lot, but we have two dogs.

00:05:52.848 --> 00:05:56.248
Alex Hall: I've always had animals and chickens and goats and all of the above.

00:05:56.268 --> 00:06:01.648
Alex Hall: And I just think animals in general are the best form of, I don't know, camaraderie that you can have.

00:06:01.668 --> 00:06:04.568
Alex Hall: I would pick an animal over a person, probably any day of the week.

00:06:04.708 --> 00:06:05.868
Jill Rappaport: I can't believe you said that.

00:06:05.888 --> 00:06:08.888
Jill Rappaport: I used to always say that to my mother, and she would say, you shouldn't say that.

00:06:08.908 --> 00:06:10.568
Jill Rappaport: And I go, that's how I feel.

00:06:10.768 --> 00:06:13.288
Alex Hall: I think people who say you shouldn't say that don't get it, you know?

00:06:13.308 --> 00:06:15.068
Alex Hall: I just don't think they quite understand.

00:06:15.088 --> 00:06:16.768
Alex Hall: They might have better friends than we do or something.

00:06:16.788 --> 00:06:20.668
Alex Hall: I don't know, but I'm picking my dogs or a horse or something over most people, I think.

00:06:20.728 --> 00:06:25.188
Jill Rappaport: And also now with the plight going on in rescue and adoption, it's so dire.

00:06:25.228 --> 00:06:32.368
Jill Rappaport: And people need to understand, Alex, from you, who's still in his 20s and is a role model for our next generation.

00:06:32.548 --> 00:06:35.248
Jill Rappaport: We need to take care of our fur angels, don't we?

00:06:35.388 --> 00:06:36.148
Alex Hall: Oh, absolutely.

00:06:36.168 --> 00:06:42.728
Alex Hall: I mean, I just got back from Raleigh, North Carolina, and I was singing the national anthem at their hockey game at PMC Arena there.

00:06:42.888 --> 00:06:47.548
Alex Hall: We were in there early doing soundcheck and stuff, and they do this every week, which I thought was so cool.

00:06:47.728 --> 00:06:51.288
Alex Hall: They have a, specifically, I think it's dogs every once in a while.

00:06:51.308 --> 00:07:01.528
Alex Hall: They have cats, but they had this company out of Raleigh that does animal rescue and fostering and adoption, and they have them in the arena for the games every week for folks to come by and see them.

00:07:01.548 --> 00:07:06.748
Alex Hall: The puppies weren't ready for another couple of weeks, but they're there to meet them, hang out with them, and show awareness of it.

00:07:06.768 --> 00:07:11.788
Alex Hall: And I thought that was the coolest thing because there are 19,000 people in this arena.

00:07:12.228 --> 00:07:14.028
Jill Rappaport: To shine a light on a big crowd like that.

00:07:14.048 --> 00:07:14.668
Alex Hall: Absolutely.

00:07:14.688 --> 00:07:19.548
Alex Hall: And so we went up there, I think, three different times to go hang out with the dogs and stuff before the game even started.

00:07:19.568 --> 00:07:21.948
Alex Hall: But I thought that was just a really great thing because it is important.

00:07:21.968 --> 00:07:26.928
Alex Hall: And I know there's a lot of missions and folks out there all around the country now that are doing that kind of stuff.

00:07:27.208 --> 00:07:28.088
Alex Hall: It blows my mind.

00:07:28.348 --> 00:07:30.028
Jill Rappaport: I'm surprised you didn't come home with one.

00:07:30.728 --> 00:07:32.908
Alex Hall: My radio rep and I both tried our best to.

00:07:32.928 --> 00:07:39.348
Alex Hall: She wanted one real bad and she doesn't have a dog at the moment, but I think my wife would have been too happy with me if I came home with a puppy.

00:07:39.508 --> 00:07:40.248
Alex Hall: Maybe next time.

00:07:40.388 --> 00:07:42.748
Jill Rappaport: Well, what a year this has been for you.

00:07:42.968 --> 00:07:50.828
Jill Rappaport: 2023 into 2024, you came out with your album, which is so incredible, getting great reviews and is so awesome.

00:07:50.968 --> 00:07:52.948
Jill Rappaport: I did say that right in the top of the show.

00:07:53.168 --> 00:07:55.908
Jill Rappaport: Tell me about the experience of coming out with this album.

00:07:56.148 --> 00:07:59.088
Jill Rappaport: You opened for Tanya Tucker, a true legend.

00:07:59.168 --> 00:08:01.988
Jill Rappaport: What is your world like at such a young age?

00:08:02.368 --> 00:08:04.128
Alex Hall: Well, thank you again for all of that.

00:08:04.288 --> 00:08:11.648
Alex Hall: I've been able to tour Tanya a good amount through the last couple of years and that alone is just amazing because I grew up listening to her, which is so cool.

00:08:11.668 --> 00:08:16.908
Alex Hall: And I got to meet Chris Christopherson out on tour with her the first time I toured with her and got to just do some cool things with that.

00:08:16.928 --> 00:08:26.268
Alex Hall: But as far as the record and everything out last year, it was just really, I feel like something that was finally happened because that record really began in 2019.

00:08:26.288 --> 00:08:36.568
Alex Hall: I started recording and writing for that album and then the pandemic came along and started shifting things and changing things and we pivoted and pivoted and finally it got finished, speaking of furry friends.

00:08:36.888 --> 00:08:39.408
Jill Rappaport: Yeah, we love barking on this show.

00:08:39.528 --> 00:08:41.568
Alex Hall: There could be a better podcast that barks on, I guess.

00:08:41.668 --> 00:08:52.148
Alex Hall: But it finally came out, yeah, last year and so it was almost four and a half years in the making of writing and recording that record and so it just was honestly after like a breath of fresh air to finally put it out into the world.

00:08:52.408 --> 00:08:56.948
Alex Hall: And I've been playing a lot of the songs that Women and Horses specifically, I've been touring for a couple of years.

00:08:56.948 --> 00:08:58.968
Alex Hall: I'd written that song in 2020.

00:08:59.248 --> 00:09:02.528
Alex Hall: So I've been playing a couple of the songs for the years, but it's just nice that they're out.

00:09:02.548 --> 00:09:11.188
Alex Hall: So like when you're going to play a show or whatever it is, people can actually go listen to the songs that you're playing versus telling them they're coming soon and you don't know when that's going to be.

00:09:11.188 --> 00:09:14.128
Alex Hall: So I think out of all of it, that's the greatest thing.

00:09:14.148 --> 00:09:19.368
Alex Hall: It's just that it's out and I can, you know, move on to writing new music and recording new music, which I'm doing at the moment.

00:09:19.428 --> 00:09:20.808
Alex Hall: And it's exciting.

00:09:20.828 --> 00:09:29.068
Alex Hall: I'm happy that it's out in the world and hopefully people love it and we'll continue to find it and love it throughout the rest of my life and however long music lasts, I guess.

00:09:29.248 --> 00:09:32.008
Jill Rappaport: And you also performed at My Dream Place.

00:09:32.088 --> 00:09:35.468
Jill Rappaport: Every time I went to the Grand Ole Opry, it was the experience of a lifetime.

00:09:35.748 --> 00:09:37.248
Jill Rappaport: You got to perform there.

00:09:37.268 --> 00:09:39.788
Jill Rappaport: I want to know what it was like to stand in the circle.

00:09:40.188 --> 00:09:40.968
Alex Hall: Oh my goodness.

00:09:40.988 --> 00:09:44.808
Alex Hall: I think I've done it six or seven times now and it never gets old.

00:09:44.828 --> 00:09:53.408
Alex Hall: I was talking to Vince Gill once backstage about it and I was asking him, because he's been a member for decades and he plays it multiple times a year.

00:09:53.768 --> 00:09:58.328
Alex Hall: He told me to this day, he's like, if it ever doesn't get you nervous, then you just don't need to play anymore.

00:09:58.468 --> 00:10:03.308
Alex Hall: You just don't need to do it anymore because it's supposed to feel sacred and feel special every time and it does.

00:10:03.708 --> 00:10:04.968
Alex Hall: It's my favorite place to play.

00:10:04.988 --> 00:10:10.268
Alex Hall: I haven't been able to play the rhyming yet and that one's still on my bucket list, which is obviously the original Opry and everything.

00:10:10.288 --> 00:10:12.488
Alex Hall: But I don't know, there's just something special about it.

00:10:12.508 --> 00:10:17.288
Alex Hall: And almost I think every single hero of mine has at some point stood in that circle.

00:10:17.308 --> 00:10:28.408
Alex Hall: And so that is the thing to me that's just so powerful is the sweat and the passion and years of just people that I've looked up to have my sweat and tears and everything in that circle now too.

00:10:28.428 --> 00:10:29.228
Alex Hall: And that's pretty cool.

00:10:29.668 --> 00:10:34.928
Jill Rappaport: You know, I can't even imagine because here you are in your twenties and you've achieved this level of success.

00:10:35.228 --> 00:10:37.768
Jill Rappaport: How old were you when you actually got started?

00:10:37.788 --> 00:10:43.108
Jill Rappaport: When you realized you had to have a guitar on your lap and you had to sing those songs.

00:10:43.468 --> 00:10:45.368
Alex Hall: I got my first guitar when I was five.

00:10:45.388 --> 00:10:47.868
Alex Hall: I was five or six and I took one lesson.

00:10:47.888 --> 00:10:49.208
Alex Hall: It didn't work out very well.

00:10:49.408 --> 00:10:52.628
Alex Hall: And the guy said he couldn't teach me because I didn't know how to read, which is hilarious.

00:10:52.748 --> 00:10:58.768
Alex Hall: So I put the guitar away for many years and I started really, really getting into it when I was about 14 or 15 years old.

00:10:58.968 --> 00:11:04.848
Alex Hall: And that's when I got my first gig, getting paid to play a show, which was, even though it was in a restaurant, I still was getting paid to play.

00:11:04.868 --> 00:11:08.548
Alex Hall: And then I started making trips back and forth to Nashville to write songs and stuff.

00:11:08.568 --> 00:11:16.508
Alex Hall: But it was about 15 years old when I really was like, I got my first paid gig, started playing shows, started coming to Nashville to write songs with other songwriters and all of that.

00:11:16.528 --> 00:11:27.448
Alex Hall: And that was the point, I think, for me, that it was that first trip to Nashville and my very first co-write, seeing the city and walking through the Country Music Hall of Fame and all of that on that first trip is, I think there was just no turning back at that point.

00:11:27.468 --> 00:11:30.688
Alex Hall: I always knew I wanted to grow up to be Elvis Presley.

00:11:30.708 --> 00:11:39.188
Alex Hall: That was my dream my whole life was to be Elvis or Lane Frost, the bull rider, who was also, unfortunately, he died riding bulls.

00:11:39.208 --> 00:11:43.548
Alex Hall: But those were the two things as a kid from North Georgia that I wanted to be was either that or Elvis.

00:11:43.588 --> 00:11:47.068
Alex Hall: And so I think, you know, I clearly went the music route, thankfully.

00:11:47.668 --> 00:11:49.628
Jill Rappaport: Thank God you took the safer route.

00:11:49.668 --> 00:11:50.568
Jill Rappaport: I will tell you.

00:11:50.948 --> 00:11:51.588
Alex Hall: No kidding.

00:11:51.768 --> 00:11:52.168
Alex Hall: Yeah.

00:11:52.608 --> 00:11:54.908
Alex Hall: I never had much of a thing for bulls.

00:11:55.228 --> 00:11:57.148
Alex Hall: So yeah, it was the guitar for me.

00:11:57.168 --> 00:11:58.348
Alex Hall: It was the guitar for me for sure.

00:11:58.648 --> 00:12:03.148
Jill Rappaport: And when you consider that you've opened for Tanya Tucker, I mean, does it get bigger than that?

00:12:03.168 --> 00:12:08.688
Jill Rappaport: And you've worked with Vince Gill, Brad Paisley, some of the biggest and best in the country world.

00:12:08.708 --> 00:12:10.168
Jill Rappaport: What did they teach you?

00:12:10.188 --> 00:12:11.608
Jill Rappaport: How do they inspire you?

00:12:11.748 --> 00:12:23.028
Alex Hall: I mean, I think, you know, Tanya, for instance, just touring with her, being able to watch her, especially the tour we did in 2019, where her record came out that year and won the Grammy for Country Up of the Year and all that.

00:12:23.248 --> 00:12:29.408
Alex Hall: I got to watch her every night on that tour and just hold the crowd in the palm of her hand all night long.

00:12:29.488 --> 00:12:30.148
Alex Hall: She's a pro.

00:12:30.328 --> 00:12:39.408
Alex Hall: And so that, I think, was just really priceless to be able to watch, but as far as working with Vince and Brad Paisley and those folks, one, I just still can't believe that even happened because I grew up listening to them.

00:12:39.428 --> 00:12:48.428
Alex Hall: It's crazy to have their thumbprint on my record, especially, I mean, I'm still, again, trying to make it, but at that time, we were on lockdown in COVID and I really hadn't done a whole lot at that point.

00:12:48.828 --> 00:13:14.668
Alex Hall: And so for them to say yes is incredible, but I've said this before, but I think, to me, the thing that I learned out of all of it, besides their guitar parts that I've continuously tried to learn off of those records, is just lending your time and generosity to other artists that are up and coming that you're able to put your thumbprint on and help them up and continue to carry the torch of what we're all trying to do and make country music and keep it relevant and make great music.

00:13:14.688 --> 00:13:23.448
Alex Hall: And I think the fact that somebody like Vince or Brad Paisley is willing at their level to say yes to me at my level, to play and put their name on a song is just amazing.

00:13:23.568 --> 00:13:28.328
Alex Hall: So I feel like I have to keep up the good work, so they don't regret it down the road.

00:13:28.348 --> 00:13:31.268
Alex Hall: And also remember once I'm at their level to do the same thing.

00:13:31.888 --> 00:13:38.228
Jill Rappaport: I love how you say once you're at their level, that's the way to feel, that's the way to think, because you're definitely on your way if you're not.

00:13:38.708 --> 00:13:46.388
Jill Rappaport: What's amazing to me is that there's so much camaraderie and closeness and friendship in the country world.

00:13:46.408 --> 00:13:52.008
Jill Rappaport: A lot of businesses and sometimes in this world, people are competitive and they don't always help one another.

00:13:52.028 --> 00:13:56.228
Jill Rappaport: But it seems in the country world, everybody really seems to have your back.

00:13:56.488 --> 00:13:57.088
Alex Hall: I think so.

00:13:57.088 --> 00:14:02.988
Alex Hall: I mean, I think it would be silly to say that there's not competitiveness still because I think everybody wants to win.

00:14:03.408 --> 00:14:08.148
Alex Hall: Nobody's gonna say they don't wanna win Entertainer of the Year or CMA Male Vocalist.

00:14:08.188 --> 00:14:08.868
Alex Hall: You wanna win.

00:14:09.088 --> 00:14:10.248
Alex Hall: If you don't win, that's okay.

00:14:10.268 --> 00:14:17.748
Alex Hall: But I think that the thing is for sure, like you said, is the fact that I do feel like most of the people are cheering you on regardless, even if you're nominated in some category.

00:14:17.768 --> 00:14:21.388
Alex Hall: Doesn't mean you don't wanna win, but you're still able to clap for your friends, I think.

00:14:21.408 --> 00:14:26.128
Alex Hall: And that is definitely a beautiful thing that I don't think a lot of other genres have, that country music does, for sure.

00:14:26.148 --> 00:14:27.248
Alex Hall: And it's awesome.

00:14:27.408 --> 00:14:28.968
Jill Rappaport: You have such a beautiful voice.

00:14:28.988 --> 00:14:31.668
Jill Rappaport: Your songs are really, they resonate with the heart.

00:14:31.668 --> 00:14:35.528
Jill Rappaport: What is it do you feel is distinctive about your style?

00:14:36.368 --> 00:14:38.048
Alex Hall: I don't know that I've ever been asked that question before.

00:14:38.068 --> 00:14:39.408
Alex Hall: I don't know, I sing with my heart.

00:14:39.428 --> 00:14:41.368
Alex Hall: I don't think about it too much, to be honest with you.

00:14:41.468 --> 00:14:45.988
Alex Hall: I definitely think about what goes into the songwriting and I try to be honest in that aspect of it and stuff.

00:14:46.008 --> 00:14:52.908
Alex Hall: But when it comes to singing and playing guitar, I truly try my best to take my brain out of it and just let my heart do the leading on it.

00:14:52.908 --> 00:14:56.748
Alex Hall: And I just sing what I'm feeling and play what I'm feeling and that's how it comes out.

00:14:56.868 --> 00:14:58.748
Alex Hall: I don't know, I was blessed with that gift.

00:14:58.768 --> 00:15:03.448
Alex Hall: I can't play sports very well and I don't think I'd do very well with a normal nine to five job either.

00:15:03.468 --> 00:15:05.868
Alex Hall: So I was just blessed with the gift of music, I guess.

00:15:05.968 --> 00:15:08.768
Alex Hall: And I just try to follow my heart when it comes to singing and playing guitar.

00:15:08.788 --> 00:15:10.788
Alex Hall: That's definitely how I try to do it.

00:15:10.888 --> 00:15:14.188
Jill Rappaport: Well, like I said, this has been one heck of a year for you.

00:15:14.528 --> 00:15:17.548
Jill Rappaport: What else is on your very young bucket list?

00:15:18.828 --> 00:15:25.168
Alex Hall: Well, I haven't achieved a lot of those bucket list things, but I'd like to, I really want to play the rhyme and that's definitely up there on their, on the list for me.

00:15:25.388 --> 00:15:30.668
Alex Hall: I'm working on new music this year, recording some new music this year, and I'm going out on tour with my friend, Cassie Ashton.

00:15:30.688 --> 00:15:33.948
Alex Hall: In a few weeks, we're going to be touring through the rest of the summer, which is awesome.

00:15:34.188 --> 00:15:40.848
Alex Hall: And yeah, just really working on new music, you know, trying to enjoy, I got a two and a half year old son and I'm married and all that.

00:15:40.868 --> 00:15:45.388
Alex Hall: So enjoying their time and everything, but just really writing songs, recording music and going to be touring a lot.

00:15:45.408 --> 00:15:46.128
Alex Hall: That'll really be it.

00:15:46.148 --> 00:15:49.268
Alex Hall: But goal wise, my goal this year is definitely to hit the rhyming at some point.

00:15:49.288 --> 00:15:52.068
Alex Hall: And if it doesn't happen this year, maybe next year, but that's definitely on my list.

00:15:52.268 --> 00:15:56.308
Jill Rappaport: And who's your dream performer that you would like to either open for, sing with?

00:15:56.668 --> 00:16:02.408
Alex Hall: Man, I would love to go tour with, in country, I would say like Brothers Osborne and Chris Stapleton.

00:16:02.428 --> 00:16:04.748
Alex Hall: Those would be two that I would really love to do.

00:16:04.768 --> 00:16:05.948
Alex Hall: Brothers are friends of mine.

00:16:05.968 --> 00:16:09.068
Alex Hall: I don't really know Stapleton, but I would love to tour with them.

00:16:09.088 --> 00:16:09.848
Alex Hall: I think it'd be fun.

00:16:10.028 --> 00:16:14.568
Alex Hall: And then outside of country, I think it would be really cool to tour with John Mayer.

00:16:14.788 --> 00:16:18.048
Alex Hall: He's a big, big hero and influence of mine, especially guitar wise.

00:16:18.308 --> 00:16:21.188
Alex Hall: And so I would say outside of country, I'd love to do a tour with John Mayer.

00:16:21.488 --> 00:16:24.568
Jill Rappaport: And may I add one of the funniest people you'll ever meet.

00:16:24.568 --> 00:16:29.508
Jill Rappaport: I had the pleasure of interviewing him a few times and I could get through the interview.

00:16:29.528 --> 00:16:30.668
Jill Rappaport: He's hysterical.

00:16:30.768 --> 00:16:31.768
Alex Hall: Oh, that's amazing.

00:16:31.788 --> 00:16:32.948
Alex Hall: That's great to hear.

00:16:32.968 --> 00:16:33.848
Alex Hall: I love to hear that.

00:16:34.148 --> 00:16:39.788
Jill Rappaport: And it's so great because you see so many artists now crossing over into different genres of music.

00:16:39.808 --> 00:16:40.768
Jill Rappaport: Look at Beyonce.

00:16:40.788 --> 00:16:42.608
Jill Rappaport: What do you think of her country album, right?

00:16:42.808 --> 00:16:44.208
Alex Hall: Yep, absolutely, yeah.

00:16:44.228 --> 00:16:46.268
Alex Hall: And that's definitely, I think, the beauty of streaming.

00:16:46.288 --> 00:16:54.408
Alex Hall: I know there's a lot of downsides to it financially for paper songwriters and all of the above, but it does allow genres to kind of morph and blend.

00:16:54.428 --> 00:17:00.548
Alex Hall: And when CDs were burnt, people were burning CDs, and you were already kind of mixing genres because you throw what you wanted on a CD or whatever.

00:17:00.568 --> 00:17:09.388
Alex Hall: But I do think it's a beautiful thing because you do get to allow so many other folks to make music that they maybe wouldn't have typically been able to make in another format 10 years ago.

00:17:10.088 --> 00:17:17.868
Jill Rappaport: Well, I would be remiss, Alex, having you here and I heard a little birdie told me that there is a guitar very close to you.

00:17:17.888 --> 00:17:18.528
Jill Rappaport: Is that true?

00:17:18.548 --> 00:17:22.168
Alex Hall: Oh man, it is not true, but I can find one.

00:17:24.068 --> 00:17:25.128
Alex Hall: Somebody told you a lie.

00:17:25.148 --> 00:17:30.668
Alex Hall: I literally, I'm not kidding, I pulled in my driveway, grabbed my computer and jumped on here from the airport.

00:17:31.108 --> 00:17:32.648
Alex Hall: I can find one quickly though.

00:17:32.748 --> 00:17:34.988
Jill Rappaport: Yeah, go ahead, take your time, go grab one.

00:17:35.108 --> 00:17:36.788
Alex Hall: All right, I'll grab one and be right back.

00:17:37.068 --> 00:17:39.428
Jill Rappaport: Okay folks, stay tuned, just wait a minute now.

00:17:39.448 --> 00:17:43.208
Alex Hall: I have my AirPods, I don't know if it sounds all right.

00:17:43.448 --> 00:17:51.168
Jill Rappaport: So Alex, you're amazing, I put you on the spot, but now that you got the guitar, I gotta hear a little of Women and Horses.

00:17:52.308 --> 00:17:53.228
Alex Hall: All righty, I got you.

00:17:53.248 --> 00:17:55.768
Alex Hall: Let me get this thing in tune real quick so it actually sounds good.

00:17:55.808 --> 00:17:57.348
Alex Hall: Do you want like a little verse and a chorus?

00:17:57.368 --> 00:17:57.768
Alex Hall: How's that?

00:17:57.848 --> 00:17:59.808
Jill Rappaport: Whatever you can do, we love.

00:17:59.828 --> 00:18:00.528
Alex Hall: All right, let's see. (Alex plays song)

00:19:39.427 --> 00:19:40.507
Jill Rappaport: Oh, that was amazing!

00:19:41.627 --> 00:19:43.467
Alex Hall: Thank you very much.

00:19:43.627 --> 00:19:45.727
Jill Rappaport: Alex Hall, I cannot thank you enough.

00:19:45.747 --> 00:19:48.267
Jill Rappaport: I had my own one-on-one private concert.

00:19:48.287 --> 00:19:50.907
Alex Hall: Yeah, thank you so much for having me.

00:19:50.927 --> 00:19:51.587
Alex Hall: I appreciate it.

00:19:51.607 --> 00:19:52.147
Jill Rappaport: Thank you.

00:19:52.167 --> 00:19:58.347
Jill Rappaport: We started the show with the song, and I have to tell you, hearing it in person, it sounds exactly the same, maybe even better.

00:19:58.367 --> 00:20:01.427
Jill Rappaport: I can't help it, but you are amazing.

00:20:01.447 --> 00:20:02.607
Jill Rappaport: You are amazing guests.

00:20:02.627 --> 00:20:05.427
Jill Rappaport: Thank you so much for being on Rappaport to the Rescue.

00:20:05.547 --> 00:20:06.107
Alex Hall: Thank you.

00:20:06.127 --> 00:20:07.107
Alex Hall: Thank you so much for having me.

00:20:07.127 --> 00:20:08.007
Alex Hall: I really do appreciate it.

00:20:08.027 --> 00:20:10.967
Alex Hall: And you guys are shining light on such amazing stuff.

00:20:10.987 --> 00:20:13.867
Alex Hall: I really do appreciate what you all are doing to let me be part of it.

00:20:14.247 --> 00:20:19.667
Jill Rappaport: Well, I was thrilled to have you here, and thank you all for tuning in today to Rappaport to the Rescue.

00:20:19.687 --> 00:20:21.367
