Welcome back to Behind the Shedd! In episode 16 Harold and Russ sit down with Mark McGuinn, Jeff Mosely, and Bobby E. Boyd. This trio of friends have seen all sides of the music business in Nashville. Sit back and relax and enjoy today's stories. This is Behind the Shedd.
More about today's guests:
Mark McGuinn was signed to VFR Records in 2001, a newly formed independent record label, which released his first album, Mark McGuinn, in May that year. Initially, the label had planned to release "That's a Plan" as the album's first single. After a disc jockey at KPLX in Dallas, Texas, began playing "Mrs. Steven Rudy", another track from the album, other nearby stations soon followed suit. Due to the reaction the song was receiving in this market, the label released it as McGuinn's first single, with "That's a Plan" on the B-side.
Upon the release of "Mrs. Steven Rudy", McGuinn was considered a "dark horse" on the country music scene, due in part to his jazz background and beatnik image, which were considered outside the norms of country radio. Mrs. Steven Rudy" was a top ten hit on the Billboard country music charts, and the highest-selling single on the country singles sales charts for five consecutive weeks. His album entered the Top Country Albums chart at number 18, setting a new record for the highest entry on that chart for the first release from an independent label.
Bobby E. Boyd (aka 'Bandera Bob') is a Grammy Award Winning Songwriter with his most recent hit "Bless The Broken Road" (co-written with Marcus Hummon and Jeff Hanna) recorded by 'Rascal Flatts' . The song was No.1 for 6 weeks in 2005 and won a Grammy for Country Song of The Year in Feb. 2006 . It was also the most played song of the year , NSAI Song of the Year and has been awarded a Million-Air Certification by BMI (the 3rd for Boyd) . The Album - 'Feels Like Today' , driven by "Broken Road" , "Fast Cars & Freedom" and "Sarabeth (Skin)" , was the top selling Country Album of 2005 . Boyd's other hits include the No.1 song "In Pictures" by the group 'Alabama' (co-written with Joe Doyle) and the Top 10 song "Working Man's Phd." by 'Aaron Tippin' (co-written with Tippin and Philip Douglas) . These songs are also Million-Air Award Winners from BMI . Boyd has had other cuts and chart songs with such Artists as Martina McBride , Mark McGuinn , Linda Davis , Deryl Dodd , Melodie Crittendon & many others . (From last.fm)

Welcome back to Behind the Shedd!
In Episode 13 Harold, Russ, and Wade sit down with legendary music producer and real cowboy, Eddie Kilroy.
Harold and Eddie met in engineering school in Texas in 1959!! A lifelong friendship was born. Here's a little about Eddie - After moving to Nashville, Kilroy gained a position as a producer at Mercury Records. Kilroy's first studio record, produced in 1968, proved to be a hit for Jerry Lee Lewis — and made Kilroy the "one man responsible" for changing the fortunes of Jerry Lee Lewis' flagging career.
Kilroy was a producer at Westpark Records in the early 1970s, and became president of Playboy Records when he founded the label for Hugh Hefner, for whom he signed Mickey Gilley. He recorded "Roomful of Roses" in 1974 with Mickey Gilley, and the album became a number one country western hit – Gilley went on to create six number one albums with Playboy. From there Kilroy moved to become the co-president of the MCA Nashville Records office. While at MCA Kilroy signed Faron Young to the label and produced two albums with Young: Chapter Two (1979) and Free and Easy (1980). In 1981 Eddie produced Louise Mandrell & RC Bannon on RCA records.
Eddie Kilroy went independent after leaving MCA, and as an independent he produced the last album by Marty Robbins.
Eddie developed and built a classic country music station for the newly created XM Satellite Radio company called Hank's Place, and later Willie's Place.
Eddie now hosts Kilroy's Behind the Music: Stories of Outlaws & Legends Podcast. You can find it here:

Welcome to episode 6 of Behind the Shedd! In this episode we welcome Jason Morris. You may remember Jason from the first four episodes of Behind the Shedd in a group setting, but in this episode he sits down on his own with producers Russ Zavitson & Wade Smith, and the host, Mr.
Harold Shedd. We explore how the Music Mill Studio was built and how Harold's investment partner, Donnie Canada, arrived in Nashville with Bruce Ritz and a new artist named Marlow Tackett. We cover a lot of territory in this one, from Marlon Brando to Roy Rogers. We hope you enjoy the show!
Welcome back to Behind the Shedd! In this episode we sit down with Chuck Bedwell. Chuck has worked with just about everyone in Nashville but has always held a special place in his heart for the Music Mill Studio and working with Harold. If you wanted to get a song to Harold, Chuck was the conduit. The music row legend sits down with us and reflects on fond memories of the bustling music city in the 80's and 90's. Today's guests are Harold Shedd, Russ Zavitson, Wade Smith, and special guest Chuck Bedwell. This is Behind the Shedd!
