Well, apparently, I blog now. Orrrr again. I mean, I used to blog…or write blogs I guess. Then no one blogged, so I didn’t blog. But now I am told I should blog again. So that’s what I am doing. Blogging. Well, technically, I started blogging again a few weeks back on the BFS site, but you get the point. I think. Shit.
There is way too much to say and there is no way I will be able to bring everybody up-to-date with just this one post.
Since the release of Just Woke Up (my first country album), things have really been “amazing,” for lack of a better word. To be honest, I didn’t know how the Texas Country/Red Dirt scene would react to me. I mean, I’m from Texas, but, here’s this guy that’s been around the music scene for 30 years, playing in a pop punk band, that many of my recent peer group grew up seeing on TV or listening to on the alternative or pop stations.
Well, everybody rules! From the artists, to the press, to the radio peeps, and the rest of the industry folks…me and my songs could not have been better received. There are so many people that I would need to thank for helping get us to this point, but, I will save that for later.
So here we are…my third single Royal Family is in the Top 30 and still climbing. It is already the most successful of my three singles and, coincidentally, it means more to me than any of the other songs on the record. So I really just wanted to thank YOU for being here. I will be writing more as we continue on this ride.
Check back here for more blogs and updates, especially around showtimes.
I hope to see you guys out on the road. The band and I have been working hard and, even if you've already seen a show, you're in for a great time.
Thanks for checking in.
Love y’all,
JRR
I am so glad i found this. I used to love looking at the BFS site all the time when i was a late teen. I was pretty bummed out when random thoughts got taken down though. I found a few other people on reddit saying the same thing (I think it was like Troy Aikmen, Willie Nelson, Nasa, The Bush Twins,...). That was a hit. Any chance we will see that, or something like it again? The whole first part of this blog post brought me right back in to your distinct sense of humor. The nostalgia was great and I am so glad you are still giving us great music to enjoy. I hope your dreams continue to…
It’s an amazing album. Been a life long bfs fan. seen you guys a silly amount of times. After 25 times I stopped counting! Ha ha ha. This album is just amazing. I listen to it all the time. My 12 year old son loves it as well, he doesn’t have a choice does he?!?!? Lol. Carry on being awesome. From across the pond sending love to you all. Samantha, uk. X
Funnily enough, that song popped up on my random play in the car yesterday. Question: is it "brother" or "brothers"? I swear it changes from chorus to chorus!
Also... pineapple on pizza? Duuuuude, no! ;) Greetings from Moshville Times!
