What a pleasure it was to talk with Ira Dean. The interview was recorded in August when Iowa was dealing with "corn sweat". We talked about how he got his job with Tanya Tucker, I asked him about Trick Pony and how Heidi Newfield join the group.
Ira shared how he met Johnny Cash, his wife June through their son John Jr. So many great stories one that hit Ira pretty hard-a conversation he had with Charlie Daniels.
His current single was a tribute to his mom who had recently passed. Then he shared about this new song...Tel-Man!!
