In this episode of The Chris & Sandy Show, we sit down with Jamie O’Neal, the platinum-selling, four-time Grammy-nominated country artist behind the classic hit “There Is No Arizona.”

Jamie opens up about her new album Gypsum and the personal journey that shaped it—from songwriting retreats in wide-open landscapes to producing the record alongside her husband. She shares the deeper meaning behind the album’s title, the emotional weight of including a song written by her late sister, and what this season of music represents for her today.

We also talk about:

• Re-recording “There Is No Arizona” for its 25th anniversary and the memories that resurfaced

• The patience it took for her breakout hit to climb the charts

• Imposter syndrome, God’s timing, and learning endurance through years of live performance

• The unseen grind of the music industry—travel, instability, cancellations, and sacrifice

• Why family and team are essential to sustaining a long-term career

• Her advice to parents of young artists and to anyone chasing a dream in music

This conversation goes far beyond hits and accolades. It’s an honest look at longevity, resilience, and staying grateful in a career that constantly tests both faith and perseverance.

If you’re an artist, creative, or someone navigating a long road toward purpose, this episode will resonate deeply.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Chris & Sandy Show, we sit down with Bucky Heard—best known for his work alongside Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Bill Medley in The Righteous Brothers—to talk about faith, perseverance, purpose, and what it truly means to live without regret.

Bucky opens up about the heart behind his debut country album Breathless, created as a “concept album” to encourage people to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams, and never let fear or age define what’s possible. But this conversation goes far beyond music.

You’ll hear Bucky share:

1. The meaning behind songs like “My Best Days,” “Empty,” and “Crying”
2. What he’s learned from Bill Medley about sincerity, performance, and life
3. The unseen grind behind the spotlight—years of rejection, humility, and persistence
4. How faith in Jesus Christ has carried him through loss, hardship, and uncertainty
5. Why your calling doesn’t expire—and why your best days can still be ahead

From small-town Alabama to international stages, Bucky reflects on the mentors who shaped him, the sacrifices no one sees, and his mission to use music as a vehicle for hope, kindness, and healing.

This is more than an interview—it’s a reminder that dreams don’t have a shelf life, obedience to your calling matters, and purpose is bigger than success.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure about your next step, this episode will encourage your heart and challenge you to keep moving forward.
