	November 1, 2009 Unbridled Enthusiasm is now available on Itunes at this address: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=336562731&s=143441 October 31, 2009 Much appreciation to all you who've been buying CDs! They've been going quick lately and a couple of them are out of stock but will be replinished soon. If you're here to buy one then click on the cover and CDBABY will tell you if it's in stock or not. If it isn't then check back soon... Thanks! From the best show I've ever seen featuring the best frontman in music history: Nashville, TN 10/28/09 October 15, 2009 The next album - The Story Never Ends - will include tracks recorded at Big Ears Studio and Fry Pharmacy here in Nashville and Sun Studio in Memphis. It's in production now and will be coming within the next couple months... So check back here soon and- as always- thanks for your support! September 17, 2009 Last week I had the great opportunity to record at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis. Along with John McTigue, Scott Icenogle and Chuck Mead I began work on my next album which should be coming late this year or early next year. What a surreal experience. More on that later... August 23, 2009 I'll be at BEARNO's BY THE BRIDGE in Louisville, KY this Saturday, 8/29/09 from 8:30p til 1a. Come, come, come! August 15, 2009 Unbridled Enthusiasm is now available right here. Getcha one! In recording this album I did everything I could to make it sound like it was recorded in the 1960s. All the sessions took place at Fry Pharmacy, where- unlike the usual recordings made these days- the whole band played the songs live in one room and every song was recorded onto tape instead of onto disk. Take a listen and you'll hear the difference. This is something I've always wanted to do, and I'd like to thank Hank Willis for making it happen. So check it out... It's another album of all original material with another great band that I'm sure you'll enjoy! More news coming soon! August 9, 2009 Unbridled Enthusiasm has been available at Roberts for a week now. However, CD Baby has just undergone some renovations to their site so there has been a delay in getting the CD up online. An email will be sent out to folks on the Email List as soon as it's available online. Check out "Passport to Great Weekends" with Samantha Brown this Saturday 8/15/09 at 10PMe/9PMc on the Travel Channel. They filmed in Nashville recently and will feature some Dave Cox songs on the show. July 3, 2009 HELLO! Unbridled Enthusiasm will be available by the end of the month. Here's the track listing: May 17, 2009 Hello folks... Thanks for tuning in. I'm currently working on a new album to be out some time in July. We're recording it at the majestic Fry Pharmacy- all in analog on a big old fat tape machine. I'm trying to document the process in photos that you can see on my MySpace page. Some of the titles you can expect to see on this upcoming album are The Nashville Antonym, Cold Blooded Murder, I Miss My Mistress, Please Remove Your Foot From My Face, and Watch Out! More news to come soon! April 14th, 2009 Hello folks! It's obviously been a long time since I've updated this. Thanks to you friendly folk who've been tuning in and wondering what's going on. A whole hell of a lot has happened since last September. There's a lot up in the air right now that can hopefully result in some good things happening soon, and I will update this page with details about those things when I can. In the meantime I can tell you this: I'm still doing my regular thing on Broadway 4 days a week. Check out the schedule page for the current days/times. Thanks for your support! Hope to see you soon... somewhere... October 8th, 2008 My ITunes page has been updated. September 2008 CHARLIE WALKER 1926-2008 It's been a tough time around here for hard core country music fans. Jerry Reed passed away last week and now the sad news that honky tonk legend Charlie Walker passed away on September 12. Mr. Walker left behind a catalogue of vastly under-appreciated real country music. Most folks recognize Mr. Walker for hit tunes like "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down" and "Please Don't Squeeze My Sharmon," but dig a little deeper and you'll discover a wealth of songs that were both risque and innovative. It was probably a big surprise to the industry when he recorded a way cool version of "Honky Tonk Women" that got him in a little hot water when he performed it on the Opry. However, the Rolling Stones song fit perfectly into his large repertoire of songs about drinking, bars and women. See if you can track down his tunes "Ode to Stella," "Got My Mind on the Border of Mexico" or "I Wouldn't Take Her to A Dogfight" to hear just how cool and risque his songs were at a time when no other popular artist was recording such material. Songs like "Wild Women" and "Who Will Buy the Wine" pretty much define the old Texas honky tonk shuffle, and while most folks consider Ray Price to be the king of the shuffle I always identified with Mr. Walker's music much more... It was ahead of it's time. I got to meet Mr. Walker a few years ago. I was flabbergasted at the time to be meeting such a legend, and I recall going on and on about some of my favorite songs of his. He was very humble and even seemed like he was surprised that I knew of such songs. He was one of the last of a dying breed- truly a legend... September 2008 JERRY REED 1937-2008 Like countless others, I have been a huge Jerry Reed fan for years. Though you'd never know by my own terrible guitar playing, Mr. Reed has always been a major influence on my songwriting and was one of the few artists I started listening to years ago who piqued my interest in country music. He was widely known in the mainstream for his acting and novelty tunes, but Mr. Reed was also undoubtedly one of the finest and most original guitar pickers in the history of popular music. He was also a remarkable singer and songwriter, and an amazing performer who possessed a style that was unlike any other artist before or since. He could take an old standard tune and completely change it into something new (i.e. "Blue Moon of Kentucky," "Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Mule Skinner Blues," etc., etc., etc.). I had the honor of meeting Mr. Reed a few years ago after one of his shows in Nashville, Indiana. What a thrill it was for me to talk with him and for him to call me "Son!" He was so quick-witted... I remember during the show he paused to ask the audience for requests. I got his attention and asked him to play one of his goofiest tunes- "Broken Heart Attack" and without pause he looked at me and said, "Son, I'm gonna kill you." Classic... Jerry Reed was much more than a fine actor and novelty man... Just check out some of his RCA cuts from the late 60s and early 70s... "Today is Mine," "Guitar Man," "Sittin' on Top of the World" and countless others are all undeniable. And just listen to "Georgia on My Mind" one time and you'll agree that there was never a better rendition. A true original- Jerry Reed was one of the best... August 7, 2008 HERE IT IS! July 28, 2008 A lot of artists are lucky enough to have hit songs. Some of them even amass more than a few hits and therefore get to release a Greatest Hits album. Not me... That's why they call it finger lickin' good. Seeing as how I ain't never had one of them there hits, the new CD is called "GREATEST MISSES" ..... It's a compilation of 26 songs from my previous CDs- all professionally mastered and sounding better than ever. I've done most of my own mastering in the past but I gave these songs to the pros at Soundlab and they made a great difference. The packaging is in the vein of classic vinyl and the disc is all black with grooves- just like a little record... Very neat. Best of all this 26 song CD will be available for just $11.11 beginning next week. Check back here on August 5th for the link to buy it through CD Baby. If the mp3s of the album would be your preference then those files are available now through Digstation, and will soon be available through all the usual outlets such as Itunes, Amazon, etc. Schedule note: Now that this CD is done I'm taking a few days off so I won't be playing between July 28 - August 1st... Hope to see you soon after when my regular schedule resumes, and be sure to check back here August 5th for "GREATEST MISSES" ..... Thanks! June 23, 2008 ALL mp3s (including Over And Out) are now availble for download at Amazon.com, ITunes and CD Baby. Also- neat skeet- all songs are now being offered as ringtones on ITunes... What an age we live in, Darrel. And, of course, the CDs are always available- just click one of them there covers, Frank. One last note on mp3 download options... I would almost always prefer myself to have a CD as opposed to mp3 files. It's just more fun to have all the cover art- inside and out- and have something physical you can actually hold in your hands. But I'm strange like that. Hell, I'd rather listen to a record than a CD any day. However, the times they are a changin' and mp3 sales have been a great benefit to me and countless other strugglers in the music world. A lot of folks download my music mainly from ITunes because they already have accounts with them. But I would encourage you to take a look at the mp3 downloads directly from CD Baby. You can download the entire album as one zip download, which includes not just the MP3s, but also a JPG of the album art and a text file of song titles and album notes. They're the regular MP3 files that play easily on ANY MP3 player, whether it be an iPod, cellphone, Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. Also, the MP3s are encoded at top-audiophile-quality (~200k VBR), higher than iTunes or any other major store... Just seems like a better deal to me. The next CD is on the horizon... A summation of my time in Nashville- Greatest Misses will be out in July... 26 songs, 79 minutes long... Stay tuned, and thanks so much for your support hose. June 18, 2008 Over And Out was sold out but is now back in stock! Click here to check it out. June 15, 2008 Thanks so much to all you folks who've purchased Over And Out. It has been going quickly, so CD Baby has temporarily sold out! In the meantime you can go to the album page (click that cover there to the right) and sign up to be informed when they receive more. It should be within a couple days! Another note of interest- In addition to Itunes and all the other online mp3 outlets, my first three albums are now available for download from Amazon.com. Over And Out and the forthcoming Greatest Misses will also be available for mp3 download eventually, but it will probably take a few months. June 3, 2008 How do to all you... "Over And Out" is now availble at my shows and will be available online right here by mid-June. Also on the horizon to be ready by the end of the summer is another CD entitled "Greatest Misses". Stay tuned and as always, thanks for your support! One other note- I have a great friend who is also a great talent. If you enjoy my music then you will absolutley love the music from Eric Solomon- a great songwriter/singer/guitarist based in Columbus, OH.
