THE REDEMPTION ARC OF THE CENTURY! Longtime CMS superfan TJ James is BACK, and heâs actually got some killer music this time! After the legendary âJunk Punchâ debacle, Tim went to school for EIGHT YEARS to show Chris and Neely heâs the real deal. Now heâs working with ARIA-winning producer Rick Price and Nashvilleâs finest session players. Weâre talking Garth Brooksâ bass player and Sheryl Crowâs drummer!
Tim spills the beans on his $10k grant, his 80 Motley Crue shirts, and his mission to become the next Desmond Child. Plus, we dive into why family-friendly radio should be burned to the ground and why Tim gets a lifetime âhall passâ for the greatest McDonaldâs prank in show history. đ€đ„
