103 - Jody White, Roy Milner: Cowboy Singer x Peaceful Side Brewery

Описание: Mitch and Rich are thrilled to welcome Jody White, son of the legendary singer-songwriter Tony Joe White, and Roy Milner, co-founder of Peaceful Side Brewery in Maryville, Tennessee. Together, they’ve created something truly special — a celebration of Tony Joe’s swampy, gritty legacy through both sound and taste.

If you know Tony Joe White, you know his nickname — The Swamp Fox — and his signature style that blended blues, rock, and country into something uniquely his own. From the unforgettable groove of “Polk Salad Annie” to the haunting soul of “Rainy Night in Georgia,” Tony Joe’s music shaped generations of artists. His songs have been covered by icons like Elvis Presley, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Kenny Chesney, and Hank Williams Jr.

Jody, who now manages the Tony Joe White Estate, has made it his mission to preserve and expand his father’s creative legacy. Recently, the Estate released a newly expanded edition of Tony Joe’s 1980s album The Real Thang — complete with bonus tracks, behind-the-scenes stories, and even a co-write with outlaw country great Waylon Jennings.

But this celebration isn’t just about music — it’s about beer, too. 🍻



To honor the release, the Estate teamed up with Roy Milner and his crew at Peaceful Side Brewery to craft a beer that captures the laid-back, funky, and soulful energy of Tony Joe himself. The result? Cowboy Singer, a smooth, refreshing international lager named after one of the standout tracks on The Real Thang.

This limited-run beer has been popping up around Nashville, turning heads and raising glasses wherever it goes. Clocking in around 4.5% ABV, Cowboy Singer is light, crisp, and endlessly drinkable — just the kind of beer you’d want in your hand while spinning Tony Joe on vinyl or kicking back on a summer porch.

In this episode, we dig deep into how the collaboration came together — from the long-standing friendship between Jody and Roy, to the creative process behind choosing the right style of beer to match the vibe of The Real Thang. Roy shares his journey from his days brewing at Blackberry Farm Brewery to co-founding Peaceful Side Brewery, where craftsmanship and storytelling remain at the heart of every pint.

We talk legacy, artistry, and the common thread between brewing and songwriting — that same soulful intention that makes something real.

So crack open a cold Cowboy Singer, cue up The Real Thang, and join us for a conversation filled with great stories, good vibes, and a heartfelt toast to Tony Joe White — the original Swamp Fox — and the people keeping his spirit alive today.
