Michael Farren, the Grammy‑nominated Nashville songwriter, stopped by The Alex Marlow Show this week to talk about his new patriotic single, “The United Saints of America.” The key line from the interview was simple and pointed: “There’s no AI involved in this recording.” That claim — and the fact the song was built with seasoned Nashville players — is the news hook. In an era where buzzwords like “AI” get thrown around to sell everything from toothpaste to political talking points, Farren wanted listeners to know this was old‑fashioned musicianship with a modern message.
The Alex Marlow Show spotlight: a fresh debut and a clear message
On the Alex Marlow Show, Farren explained that he and co‑writer Jon Kahn set out to make a song with “gravity” — something that honors the people who built this country. The single and its official video dropped recently and have been pushed across conservative media as part of America 250 coverage. Farren’s appearance was timed with that release, and he used the platform to emphasize the song’s purpose: a patriotic anthem meant to stir pride, not controversy.
No AI — just Nashville session pros
Farren didn’t say it for show. He doubled down: Nashville’s “best players” turned on a dime, tracked live parts, and gave the record the warmth and punch no soulless algorithm can mimic. That claim matters because, let’s be honest, everyone’s quick to blame AI for creative laziness these days. Farren’s resume — Grammy nods, Dove awards, and mainstream songwriting credits — backs his pitch that this was a real studio session, not a factory output. For listeners who still value real instruments and real voices, that sells the record right there.
Conservative amplification and presidential praise
Once the single hit the feeds, conservative outlets amplified it and even drew a public endorsement from President Donald Trump, who urged followers to listen. That kind of amplification is exactly what the song’s creators wanted: a patriotic tune distributed through friendly media channels ahead of national celebrations. The track is already available on major streaming platforms and backed by a music video, so the infrastructure to reach listeners is in place — with conservative tastemakers doing the heavy lifting on promotion.
At the end of the day, “The United Saints of America” is a test of two competing tendencies: live creative craft versus the convenience of synthetic production, and cultural storytelling versus the noise of partisan theater. Michael Farren and Jon Kahn clearly picked a side — live players, familiar melodies, and a message aimed at uniting the conservative audience around patriotic pride. Whether you hum along or roll your eyes at the politics, it’s worth judging the song on its merits: honest musicianship, clear intent, and a production that dares to say, out loud, that some art still comes from people, not machines.
