"Party" Video Shoot In The Bag

TeamJRW met up at a barn just outside of Nashville on Friday to shoot the video for my single, Party In The Barn.  With thunderstorms predicted all day, we had resigned ourselves to shooting in and around the rain.  

It turned out, though, that the weather cooperated.   Aside from a few sprinkles early in the morning and moderate heat, Mother Nature was our friend.  

Producer Dustin Haney led the crew in creating a fun and energetic video partner to the song.  We had plenty of extras boot scooting and partying in style and the Banner Music and Kore PR team were there supporting--we even had a cameo by Kacey Smith.  

I want to give special shoutouts to our support crew who did an amazing job. Thanks to stylist Mel Core, makeup artist Lisa Proctor and photographer Angela Talley for going above and beyond as usual. 

I am definitely looking forward to sharing with you all in a couple of weeks.  In the meantime, be sure to request #PartyInTheBarn on your local country station this week.

New Single, "Party In The Barn" Out Monday on Country Radio

I'm excited to announce that my new single, "Party In The Barn" will be released this coming Monday to country radio.  Be sure to request it--especially if you live near a Music Row station.  

This song is a positive, super fast,  up-tempo, honky tonk rocker that hearkens back to the best of country traditions with an updated modern sound that  I believe you will enjoy.  

I wrote this song based partly on real life from my hometown in Kellyville, Oklahoma.  Last year, one of my best friends from high school, Garie, had a birthday party in his barn out near Indian Road.  So a lot of this song is auto-biographical.  It just reminded me of all of those classic songs like Dumas Walker, Little Miss Honky Tonk and Travis Tritt's version of T-R-O-U-B-L-E.  

I hear fans talking a lot about where country music is headed.  And I hear a lot of people say that they're tired of hearing a bunch of songs about beer and tailgates.  For me, it's not so much the subject matter that gets me--country has always been about real life and real people.  To me it does seem that there are a lot of songs that say the same old things in the same old way using the exact same words and phrases.   

When I was writing this song, I wanted to bring the positive, good feelings about a party while avoiding the laundry list of tired, overused cliches like 'beer can', 'dirt road', 'girl', 'painted on jeans', 'tailgate', and name checking liquor brands.   This is my clean cut version of a country celebration song like that leaves a little more to the imagination.   I certainly don't mind my kids singing this one.  

I can't wait for you to hear it and tell me what you think!

New Album In The Works

There is a lot of exciting news going on with me and the band.  We had a great show at Legend's in Tulsa a couple of weeks ago with Tulsa legend, Shelby Eicher playing fiddle. 

Most of my last few months have been spent writing and co-writing with other Nashville songwriters.  We have already cut 5 tracks on my upcoming album and are currently mixing those.  I anticipate releasing a follow up single from this album in July.  Make sure to stay tuned for more information.

If you want to hear some of the songs on the new album, be sure to catch me at a live show.  There are several venues that I regularly play at - and this is the only way to hear the new songs now.  If you just can't wait for the album, sent me a message and we can arrange a house concert for you.

Talk to you soon!

Long Hot Winter By James Robert Webb- Article from CountryMusicLife.Com

Long Hot Winter By James Robert Webb

By: Dayne Shuda

A great new romantic song from newcomer James Robert Webb.

Every once in a while I’ll hear a song that really gets my attention.

That was the case the first time I heard Long Hot Winter an artist I had never heard before.

Check this one out because it’s something really cool.

Long Hot Winter – James Robert Webb

There are a few cool and different things about this. The first thing you’ll notice is the little Mexican influence with the horns or whatever they are at the beginning and throughout the song. I don’t know what those are, but it’s kind of cool.

The next thing about this song is the title. I have to think it’s a play on Keith Urban’s song Long Hot Summer. I can’t say for sure, but that’s my hunch anyway.

The concept of the song is that even though it might be cold outside during the winter there is something hot brewing indoors where these two lovers are falling in love. It’s a really cool love song. The groove and passion are there and it all matches really well with the voice of this country newcomer.

These are the kinds of songs that can surprise. I don’t know what the team is like behind James Robert Webb, but if his team is determined I think they can make some noise with this one on the charts. It’s really good and I’m sure people will like it.

What are your thoughts?

Chart Estimate: #25

CML Points: 86/100
