In this special show, we celebrate the life and career of the late, Grammy-winning songwriter Brett James, following the news this week that he tragically lost his life in a plane crash outside North Carolina. Ben honors James's crucial role in the Nashville songwriting community, where he penned over 200 songs for a vast array of artists, playing many of his biggest hits, including Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel," Kenny Chesney's "Out Last Night," and Chris Young's "The Man I Want to Be." Throughout the show, we hear moving tributes and memories shared by artists he collaborated with, from Kenny Chesney, to Jason Aldean, and Tim McGraw. And we tell the story of James's journey from medical school to becoming a defining country music songwriter for a generation. Plus there are songs he co-wrote with the likes of Ashley Monroe and his mentee Caitlyn Smith, and tracks from his own recording career in the mid-1990s.
