Wallin, Baste Records' songwriting and production maestro, hosted the first episode with fellow Baste talents Darryl Worley and Rachel Holt on Tuesday.
Worley and Wallin discussed their tenure in the music industry and said authenticity was missing from the modern scene. Wallin noted that when he met Holt, she said she didn't want to sing songs similar to what girls her age were listening to because "they didn't say a lot."
"I like the song to mean something." Holt said.
"That's a really good sign that you know who you are, and you know what you wanna do," Worley said. "That is the most important part of this."
Wallin said he was hesitant when Baste approached him about joining the record label with their counter-culture stance.
"I thought 'man, I'm gonna get cancelled out of this,'" Wallin joked. "They're gonna cancel me more than they've already cancelled me."
In October, Holt and Worley released "People Where I'm From" with Baste Records.
The song is a heartfelt anthem that celebrates the strength and values of small-town America. Co-written by Worley, hit songwriter Chris Wallin, and Dan Demay, the song brings together generations of country talent to spotlight the grit, faith, and patriotism that shape American heartland communities.
