"What Can RCA Records do for Me?" ft. Joe Galante l Diving in Deep with Sara Evans Ep. 09

This week on Diving in Deep, Sara sits down with music executive, Joe Galante, who signed her at RCA Records in 1997. The pair talk about their first impressions of each other, the pains of working with country radio from a label/artist perspective, as well as the difference in the music industry now. Sara also confronts Joe about some controversial moments in the past. Was it Joe who told Sara to lose the baby weight? Who didn't want "Suds in the Bucket" to be cut? Who was the hardest to deal with at RCA? Tune in to hear Sara and Joe spill all about their time at RCA Records.
