Buddy Cannon, the frequent Willie Nelson collaborator, award-winning producer, and co-writer of the CMA and ACM Song of the Year "Give It Away," joins us to talk about getting his first four cuts in two days; how his first charting single became a #1 hit; why he had to tell Kenny Chesney he couldn't produce his early albums; the time he freaked out when his musical hero called him on the phone; and how he and Willie Nelson only co-write via text message.
