The Amarillo kid, my homie Travis Roberts has done it once again. Just yesterday I was trying to find the words to describe my own experiences in an exciting relationship. I am pretty sure that the lyrics from Travis’s new song, “Heaven is a Place Down Here,” fits the bill.
In my own romantic interest we first found a commonality because of our love for music. My girls favorite happens to be “Blackberry Smoke” while the gal in this Roberts song is Willie Nelson. But seriously, how can you go wrong with Willie?
This song is much more upbeat than Travis’ previous cuts. It’s a song that will be able to cross genres from Texas to the pop scene and back.
Travis Roberts and his band, The Willing Few, are based out of Amarillo Texas. Often you can find them playing at places like Hoots Pub or down in Lubbock at the Blue Light. Travis just might be found in the crowd of some of his friends shows , wearing a white T shirt and holding an ice cold Topo Chico beverage.
He and I have had brief conversations, Travis has had some problems with addiction and has found a way to fight his way out. Through hard work and determination he has chased his dreams and makes the music he loves. In my opinion this kid from the top of Texas can’t go wrong. If you have never taken a trip through his previous releases, you need to do it now. “Cabin Fever” and “This Too Shall Pass” are other singles to start you on this trail.
I once read somewhere, “We have found much of Heaven and have been rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence of which we had not even dreamed.”
Keep rocketing Travis.. and making the music you make.
Pancho.
