This song was inspired by Lloyd Reading's Tuesday evening visit to my home recording studio, The BuckarooM, and by my first exposure to John Mellancamp's new CD.  I listened to it on my way to work this morning, and found that it to be quite an inspiration.  This song will be...

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING---two generations, united by one sound, the Bakersfield sound.  Tonight, beginning at 7 pm, the man Hank Ray and I have named "Playbody Lloyd" in this co-written song of ours, will be joining us in an historic video-taped interview/recording session in my own...

It's not a rumor.  It falls under the category of "truism."  One would think it would be a rumor, considering that they, along with the Dusk Devils, are at the helm of an underground Bakersfield Sound-based bakobilly revolution.    But it's...

Welcome to the No Guts No Glory edition of Lyric Today/Hear it Tomorrow.  The following is a duet I penned this morning, especially for Sonny Langley and Red Simpson, a couple of local Bakersfield Sound legends.  Whether they agree to record it or not, is their business, and they...

I won't mention him by name, but he's somebody that's a perfectionist, and I'm far from perfect--more of an amateur in many respects.  He's had to be a perfectionist, in order to produce some of the greatest music associated with some of the biggest names in country music to come out of the...

GOOD DAY!  Welcome to my new series, NO GUTS, NO GLORY.  It's a step-by-step (or in some cases, it will be misstep-by-misstep) guide to long shots I take on the oft-failure-ridden road to success as a singer/songwriter.  Today, I'm going to have the guts to ask Bakersfield's own...

As promised, I started a new series at Bakersfield Sound Underground today.  It's called Bakersfield Sound Garden.  It's where we take seeds from the old Bakersfield Sound "trees," that is, music of yore, that distinctly represents the Bakersfield Sound, and the spirit of...

That's right, the streets of Bakersfield, (once closed to Homer Joy, until he wrote a song that would re-open them for him and others) are closed once again to new artists trying to break into the local music scene.   With Trout's open jam sessions, and with the mentoring spirits of...

I'm talking about the song, not an actual guitar, but if anybody has a Buck Owens red, white and blue guitar that they would like to auction off at the song's "live" debut, let me know. On July 4th from about 8 am to 10 pm, me and Hank Ray will be on the patio at...

larger view Not to worry.  There's something you can do while Hank is tuning up his instrument. I'll be offering a karaoke version of the song for those who wish to sing it on their July 4th celebrations.  You can catch the melody (via a song sample) and learn the words, by going...

Someday, I hope to be good enough to write commercial radio jingles for Trout's, maybe even to perform there, but in the meantime, I'm just playing around and dreaming.  What you're hearing if you've activated the attached play station is just a sample of what you'll get today, when you go...

As the local underground music scene goes, t's one of the hottest topics to hit the Streets of Bakersfield in recent days.   I'm talking about the Bakersfield Sound generation gap. Up until now, I've been doing my best to put a spotlight on the problem, and the nature of the...
