Honky Tonk Heart

I have been in love and I’ve been heart broken more than once in my life. If I have learned nothing else in the last 47 years, I have learned that well written music fits in both occasions.

The new EP by Lucas Jagneaux and the Roadshow released this week. The album is plumb full of she’s packed her suitcase and she’s leaving songs. Ain’t it funny how sometimes a sad song can make you cry and other times it can bring light to all those dark places that you have carried around in your heart.

The Roadshow still makes music that sounds like country music. The twang of a guitar and sounds of the steel guitar that I grew up in. This Louisiana bunch is one of my favorite groups these days . I am forever grateful for another of my personal favorite artists, Seth Jones , who turned me onto this sound.

This album features 4 original songs. Recording took place at Rosewood studios . There is definitely something in that part of the bayou that those Jagneaux boys grew up in. Lucas and Tobin are both amazingly talented, not to mention Waylon who plays the steel sets, and then there is that boy from next door, Derrick Mclendon , a wonderful song writer and performer on his own. His voice can be heard in the harmonies and backing vocals.

Lucas Jagneaux and the Roadshow are moving into stardom in Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. I have no doubt they will soon be popular throughout the World. I encourage everyone to keep spinning these sounds and then one day you can look back and join me in saying…”Remember When.”

Pancho.

Seth Jones Day means new music.

Today is Seth Jones day my Twitter feed reads. I’m always excited when Jones releases a new project. Since finding Seth a few years ago I have spent hours upon hours going down the rabbit holes of his sound.

Seth Jones is for sure one of my favorite artists. His songs always hit me right where I am. He has a range of music that can go from Happy go Lucky to the deepest pits of Hell. Last year Seth Jones was my listed as my “Top Artist” on Spotify.

Another thing I appreciate about Jones is that he constantly supports and lifts up other artists and the regular Joe like me. He often puts others before himself. Seth Jones and his wife Samantha often donate time and money to organizations like the wounded warrior project.

To Seth the lyric is the most important part of the song. He wants his music just to be heard. He writes relatable and honest tunes about his own life and personal struggles and his listening audience gains emotional strength and support throughout his song. Although Seth Jones does not co-write much he often includes other artists on his projects, whether by backing vocal or in the form of duet. His previous albums have featured female artists in the Texas scene, Kat Hasty and Hannah Hokit. On Cinci the backup vocals are done by Chris Cunningham and the EP features a duet with Lucas Jagneaux, the lead in the now popular Lucas Jagneaux and the Roadshow.

Pancho.

Happy Seth Jones day, enjoy the new EP!
