  • Dolly Parton: The Faith Behind the Icon

    Around 2019, Dolly Parton instructed her management

    to actively pursue faith-based collaborations.


    For King & Country. Zach Williams. Blessing Offor.


    These weren't random. They weren't accidents.

    They were chosen — by a woman in her 70s who decided

    the time had come to say the quiet part out loud.


    Her Christian faith wasn't something she discovered

    late in life. It was always there — rooted in a

    one-room cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee, in a

    Pentecostal grandfather who pastored a church called

    the House of Prayer, in a theology she carried for

    80 years without ever needing to announce it.


    She just decided it was time to let it speak.


    In this tribute essay, More Cowbell Please host

    Ainslie Grosser — a Grammy-winning mix engineer

    with 30 years inside the Nashville CCM industry —

    explores Dolly's extraordinary Christian music legacy.


    You'll hear about:

    — The Grammy she won with For King & Country

    — The CMA performance with Zach Williams

    — Her Gospel Music Hall of Fame induction

    — Her performances at the GMA Dove Awards

    — The Elvis story nobody tells right

    — The House That Whitney Built

    — The Imagination Library — and why her father

    couldn't read

    — The CMA soundcheck story Luke Smallbone told

    on radio the week she died


    All of it in Dolly's own words. From the interviews,

    the documentaries, the podcasts — the primary sources

    most people never found.


    "I don't practice it. I live it." — Dolly Parton


    Dolly Parton passed away August 25, 2026.

    She was 80 years old.


    There's always more to the story.

  • Lauren Daigle: The Insider Stories You've Never Heard (Part 1 — The Making)

    She became the most successful Christian artist of her generation. A Guinness World Record. Two Grammys. The Super Bowl. But the story of how Lauren Daigle actually got there — from a sick room in Lafayette, Louisiana to the biggest stage in American sport — has never been told properly.

    Until now.

    This is Part 1: The Making.

    Ainslie Grosser is a Grammy-credited mix engineer with 30 years in the Contemporary Christian Music industry. In this episode he tells Lauren Daigle's origin story using primary sources nobody else has accessed — including exclusive on-camera interviews with the A&R person who signed her, the manager who made the phone call that changed everything, and the producer who found the song on a shelf.

    What you'll hear in this episode:

    • The promise a 15-year-old made to God in a sick room in Lafayette
    • Why Lauren Daigle scrubbed a choir director's toilets to learn how to sing
    • The ruptured appendix that started her entire career
    • How "How Can It Be" almost didn't make the EP — and the phone call that saved it
    • The dark night of the soul nobody knew about
    • The 2am moment someone said "we're not going to make any money on this one"
    • How a girl from Louisiana ended up in the Guinness World Records book

    Part 2 — The Fire — covers the Ellen controversy, the mayor who tried to cancel her, the pandemic collapse, and the Super Bowl vindication. Coming soon.

    More Cowbell Please — the stories behind the Christian music you love.
    There's always more to the story.

  • What Really Happened to Stacie Orrico? The Full Story

    For 20 years, fans have been asking what happened to

    Stacie Orrico.


    In 2003 she was on the Billboard Hot 100 twice, touring

    with Destiny's Child, selling 3.5 million albums worldwide.

    She was Christian music's biggest crossover moment since

    Amy Grant. And then — before her 21st birthday — she

    was gone.


    In January 2026, she filed a lawsuit and issued a

    statement that finally answered the question.


    Host Ainslie Grosser — Grammy-credited mix engineer and

    30-year CCM insider — tells the full story. The music,

    the industry, the lawsuit, the systemic failures, and

    where Stacie is now.


    This episode includes:

    — The CCM template that shaped her career

    — The alleged abuse detailed in the civil lawsuit

    — The mechanism of control the lawsuit describes

    — Why this happened in a Christian context

    — The King David frame — grace and justice together

    — Where Stacie Orrico is in 2026


    NOTE: This episode discusses allegations of childhood

    sexual abuse contained in a civil lawsuit

    (Orrico v. Ham et al., Case No. 26STCV00252).

    These are civil allegations only. No criminal charges

    have been filed. No verdict has been reached.

  • Remembering Bob Farrell — A Tribute to a CCM Pioneer | Farrell & Farrell

    Bob Farrell — one half of the husband-and-wife duo Farrell & Farrell — passed away on July 11, 2026. He was one of Contemporary Christian Music's most gifted and innovative songwriters, leaving behind a catalog that stretches from synth-pop CCM classics like "People in a Box" and "Get Right or Get Left" to songs recorded by Eric Clapton, Amy Grant, Sandi Patty, Wynonna, Michael W. Smith, and dozens more.This is our tribute to Bob — his story, his music, and his faith.We cover:- His upbringing in Lubbock, Texas — down the alley from Buddy Holly- A marriage that nearly ended before it began — and the conversion that changed everything- How Farrell & Farrell pioneered synth-pop in Christian music alongside DeGarmo & Key- The Soviet Union tour — 25,000 people a night in Moscow and Leningrad, one year before the Wall came down- 40+ Sandi Patty cuts, the London Symphony Orchestra, and a rock opera with Eddie DeGarmo- What Bob said he wanted to be remembered for — in his own wordsI had the privilege of having Bob record in my studio around 2003.

  • Stacey Wilbur | Song Plugger, Songs You Almost Never Heard and TIM publishing

    Stacey Wilbur has spent over thirty years in Nashville doing

    a job most music fans have never heard of — song plugging.

    Her role: find the right song, fight for it, and get it into

    the hands of the artist who will make it a hit.


    She helped launch Worship Together. She championed Laura

    Story's "Blessings" when the label wasn't sure it should

    make the record. She worked alongside future stars before

    the world knew their names. And today she heads publishing

    for TIM — the company founded by Chris Tomlin and Jason

    Ingram, two of the most recorded songwriters in Christian

    music history.


    In this conversation, Stacey takes us from a small town

    in Michigan — where a poster of Wynonna Judd on her bedroom

    wall sparked a dream — all the way to the rooms where

    Christian music's biggest songs are pitched, fought for,

    and sometimes saved from the cutting room floor.


    She talks about a stranger who prophesied over her in a

    restaurant before she was even a Christian. About losing

    her job, hearing God say "be still," and what happened

    the very next day when she wrote a name on a piece of paper.


    She tells us about a CEO who didn't have to say anything —

    and chose to anyway.


    This is one of the most honest, funny, and quietly

    remarkable conversations we've had on More Cowbell Please.

  • The Newsboys Break Their Silence — In Federal Court | Full Lawsuit Breakdown

    The Newsboys have filed a sweeping 204-page federal antitrust and defamation lawsuit in Nashville — and the defendant list will stop you in your tracks.


    Wes Campbell and the Newsboys are suing The Roys Report, journalist Jessica Morris (a previous guest on this podcast), MercyMe and all five band members individually, Micah Tyler, World Vision, and a Netherlands-based private equity firm called Waterland — along with the three major Christian concert promoters they allegedly acquired to form a monopoly.


    I break it down block by block — no opinion, just the facts as alleged in the public filing.


    KEY POINTS COVERED:

    - Who the plaintiffs are

    - All four defendant groups explained in plain English

    - The $50 million deal at the center of the antitrust claim

    - The three Fargo claims the complaint makes against TRR and Jessica Morris

    - Why the timing — 14 days after police closed the Tait criminal case — matters

    - Jessica Morris's Instagram response

    - What this lawsuit is NOT (it is not a trial of Michael Tait)


    Full complaint available at newsboyslawsuit.com and tcalawsuit.com. Case number 3:26-cv-00484, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Tennessee.


    All information sourced from publicly filed court documents and established reporting. These are allegations. All parties are presumed innocent.

  • Nick Rad: Mixing Toby Mac's Most Personal Album & Building a Career From Milwaukee

    What does it take to mix five number one records on one album — without ever moving to Nashville?Nick Rad has been doing exactly that from Milwaukee, Wisconsin for over two decades.He started as the drummer in Christian punk band Hangnail on Tooth and Nail Records — touring with Stavesacre and Ghoti Hook, recording at the legendary Blasting Room with Bill Stevenson, and watching a young Aaron Sprinkle record what became one of Christian music's most beloved songs at 1:30 in the morning.Then he walked away from being an artist — and built something extraordinary behind the desk instead.8 Grammy nominations. Credits on records by Toby Mac, Skillet, Matthew West, Rachel Platten, Melissa Etheridge, MisterWives, Leanna Crawford and more. Five number one songs on Toby Mac's Life After Death — the most personal record TobyMac has ever made.All from Wisconsin.In this conversation we talk about:→ The Hangnail and Acceptance years on Tooth and Nail→ The session that almost changed everything (and the one he almost missed entirely)→ How he built a world-class mixing career without moving to Music City→ Mixing Toby Mac's grief — and what it means to serve an artist through loss→ His philosophy on mixing, references, and why the word "organic" drives him crazy→ What he'd tell every young engineer coming upThis is one of my favourite conversations I've had on More Cowbell Please.

  • Steve Taylor CCM's Greatest Lyricist — The Prophet in a Plaid Suit (Repost)

    (Reposted - spotify issue!)

    Was Steve Taylor the greatest lyricist contemporary Christian music ever produced? We think so — and in this episode of More Cowbell Please, we make the case.

    We attended a recent Steve Taylor concert and came away convinced this man never got the tribute he deserved. So here it is. From his origins as a preacher's kid in Northglenn, Colorado — forbidden from listening to secular music until his mid-teens — to hearing The Clash at Biola University and changing CCM forever, this is the full Steve Taylor story.


    We cover:

    ✅ His biography and origin story

    ✅ The songs that rattled the church — Guilty By Association, We Don't Need No Color Code, I Want to Be a Clone, Meltdown at Madame Tussauds, On the Fritz and more

    ✅ His role shaping the Newsboys' greatest era

    ✅ Founding Squint Entertainment and launching Sixpence None the Richer

    ✅ His film career including Blue Like Jazz

    ✅ The Dead Sea Squirrels — his new animated series with VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki

    ✅ Concert footage including the band — Peter Furler (Newsboys), Mark Lee Townsend and John Mark Painter

    ✅ Why CCM needs more voices like his today


    Whether you grew up on 80s Christian music, work in the CCM industry, or you're just discovering Steve Taylor for the first time — this one's for you.
