“Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit,” I loudly exclaimed as I scrolled through the available reviews and found my childhood hero, Jaret Ray Reddick, on the list. You may know Reddick from the popular band Bowling for Soup, or you may recognize his voice from the theme song of the hit TV show Phineas and Ferb, or maybe you know him as the voice of our favorite pizza-loving mouse, Chuck E. Cheese. When I was a young boy, my family had dinner with a colleague of my father’s and he gave me everything in his iTunes library. I brought my 500 GB external hard drive and filled it with everything I possibly could and out of it all my absolute favorite record was Bowling for Soup‘s A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. Imagine my excitement, when I look at the tracklist and behold! A song from my favorite album, Country Fried. Reddick told me he was trying to bridge the gap between country and punk, saying that the two genres have more in common than folks think. There was always a part in the OG version of ”Ohio” that had a little country acoustic guitar break and I always imagined what this song would sound like if it were a pure country tune. And now my imagination has manifested into reality. We started our phone interview with some jokes and reminiscence of Hangover, and even talked about how punk rock George Strait is for never writing bridges.
