I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Lyrics
Sittin here and lookin back Gazin down these well worn tracks I've done some things I'd never tell ya The little stories and twisted schemes The vicious wishes, the grandest dreams The useless lies I'd try to sell ya I've felt a broken heart I broke a few, I've done my part Adding to the sum of love's equation Clear days and stormry nights Sweet embraces and deadly fights And I've not reached my destination The train of life Will stop at many stations on the way (It's waiting right outside, It'll take you for a ride) The pain of love Is just as necessary Let it wrap you in it's tender arms And never let you go A hero's task, a villian's feast Compassion's kiss and rage released The journey's not by reservation The trains are long, their tracks entwined The fare is steep, your heart is blind But love can bring illumination

Great song RS! Came upon it in a roundabout way, nice ear candy for me today, to listen to this one. Interesting melody and progressions in this tune, I like your voice alot, harmonies are great too. Nice acoustic sound mixes in with everything! 5 stars all the way, looking forward to making it back to listen to something else soon, take care and keep on keepin on! ~strummergurl~

I heard this instant classic on Nexus. Bobby, this is one of the best things I've heard that you've written. A great story song, with a great melody, awesome vocals (them harmonies, man!), outstanding guitar work. This is how you write a song. This is how it's done. Thanks for sharing this tale. Peace, Jim
