On the seventeenth episode of All Heart with Paul Cardall, No.1 country music songwriter Tony Martin and Paul Cardall look back at Tony’s remarkable hit-making career. They talk about Tony’s father, Glenn Martin who wrote Charley Pride’s “Is Anybody Going to San Antone” along with Merle Haggard classics “It’s Not Love But It’s Not Bad” and “If We’re Not Back In Love By Monday. Growing up at the feet of stellar songwriters such as Sonny Throckmorton, Mickey Newbury and Hank Cochran, Tony learned what it takes to write a good song. Merle Haggard and other legends would frequent his parents home for picking sessions. Tony would create parodies and become a journalist in Chicago before his father challenged to write something serious. That first song “Baby’s Gotten Good at Goodbye” was cut by George Strait. In addition to songwriting advice, Tony, with his wit and humor, shares business tips for young writers seeking a lasting career in country music. All Heart with Paul Cardall is proudly a part of the American Songwriter Podcast Network.
