| 6/16/26 |  #1,117 - Bobby Tomberlin | #1,117 - Bobby Tomberlin Country music tunesmith Bobby Tomberlin joins The Paul Leslie Hour for an exclusive, in-depth interview to discuss: -Co-writing four songs with Willie Nelson and Buddy Cannon for Willie Nelson's solo record "Dream Chaser." -Growing up crazy about country music and being a radio disc jockey at 11 years old -Co-writing a song called "The Killer" and watching Jerry Lee Lewis record it.

He's a man who truly loves this music, but as he says in one of his great songs — Bobby really has lived country music.
