John Schneider recently visited the MusicRow Magazine offices, to discuss his recent project Odyssey. Schneider is best-known for portraying Bo Duke in Dukes Of Hazzard and Jonathan Kent in Smallville. He also notched several Top 10 singles on the country charts in the 1980s, as well as the No. 1 hits “Country Girls” and “You’re The Last Thing I Needed Tonight.”

On Odyssey, Schneider collected 52 sterling songs from writers including, Chuck Cannon, Bobby Tomberlin, Bill Anderson and Paul Overstreet. He has released one song each week.

“My thing has always been telling stories in a unique way. Conway Twitty said, ‘You can find a lot of exceptional songs. You can only write a few.’” he told MusicRow. “It’s all about the words, the lyrics.”

He also discussed the effect streaming has had on songwriting.

“There is no room for album cuts anymore, with streaming,” he said. “If the Eagles put out new music, everything would have to be ‘Life In the Fast Lane,’ or you’re done. How scary is that? But it’s a great time if you can tell the difference between a great song and an exceptional song.”
