Ronnie Dunn has a 600-acre farm outside Nashville they call “the barn.” Most of what happens there nobody hears about. Janine likes it that way. But there’s one story Ronnie let slip during a radio interview a few years back. He’d been working on a song for months — couldn’t get the second verse to land. One night he just stopped trying. Walked into the kitchen where Janine was making coffee, and played her what he had. She listened all the way through. Didn’t say anything for a minute. Then she said, “Ronnie, the second verse is already there. You just keep talking past it.” He went back, cut the part he’d been forcing, and the song was done. He told the interviewer, “Thirty-something years and she still hears things I can’t.” He never said what the song was. The interviewer asked. Ronnie just laughed.
