2: Dine & Dish with Kim Carnes

“Anytime I’ve gone against my instinct, I’ve always lost.” – Kim Carnes
In this episode of Dine & Dish with Dawn, I’m dining and dishing with Bette Davis Eyes herself, the Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, Kim Carnes. Though I had met her years before while I was working in a little beauty store in Nashville, I felt an instant kinship when we were reintroduced for this podcast, when we dined at her favorite restaurant in Nashville, the tantalizing Two Ten Jack.
We chatted about everything from common coworkers and cohorts in Barbra Streisand and Quincy Jones to our love of Justin Timberlake to her experience writing an entire concept album for Kenny Rogers to the beauty of birthdays to lifelong dreams coming true to her epic experience with being a part of  “We Are The World,” during which a guy named Michael Jackson held her hand the whole time.
Get ready to fall in love with a dreamer…

“If you write the song that only you can write, or you do the thing that only you can do, you’ve removed yourself yourself from competition. You don’t have to arm wrestle the world any more.” -Peter Cooper

To kick off this first episode of Dine & Dish with Dawn, I’m dining & dishing with country music expert, Country Music Hall of Fame editor, Vanderbilt University Professor, and Grammy-nominated musician, Peter Cooper at Lockeland Table restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee. My friend – and former East Nashville neighbor – and I talk about everything from finding your passion to the challenges we face as artists, and chat about the many celebrities we have both worked with and those who inspire us, including Kris Kristofferson, Barbra Streisand, Dierks Bentley, Tom T. Hall, John Prine, Todd Snider, Liz Gilbert, Emmylou Harris, Kenny Chesney, Jim Carrey, Johnny Cash, and Cowboy Jack Clement.

Come hungry, and prepare to laugh and be inspired…
