Cody Jinks is known as the biggest independent Texas Country artist there currently is. Jinks was born in a city outside of Fort Worth, Texas called Haltom City. At the age of sixteen, he learned some guitar from his father which soon resulted in Jinks forming a heavy metal band. Jinks was influenced in his early years by Metallica and Pantera. In 2002 the band Jinks had formed Unchecked Aggression had release an album and later broke up. Around 2005 is when Jinks made the transition to country music leading him to where he is now.

Jinks and his band the Tone Deaf Hippies began releasing music to the country scene in 2008. In 2010 the band released the album Less Wise which was later modified, reissued and re-released again in 2017. The album was popular for the song “Hippies & Cowboys” which has now become a crowd favorite. In 2015, Jinks released another album Adobe Sessions which is when “Mamma Song” another crowd-pleaser was released.  In 2016 and in 2019 he released the albums I’m Not the Devil, After the Fire and The Wanting. But the album that brought the most attention to his artistry was the 2018 album The Lifers that the song “Must Be the Whiskey” was on.

Most recently he released a new single “Ain’t a Train” in October of 2019. The song has a mixture of traditional country, folk, and rock influence behind it which he has become known for.

If you are looking for a more traditional rooted artist that has a modern Johnny Cash vibe then Cody Jinks is the artist for you.

Jamey Johnson Performs at the Legendary Billy Bob’s in Texas

/in , /by

Jamey Johnson

There was something in the air Saturday night in Fort Worth Texas. The stockyards were filled with tourists and locals alike all lined up in front of the famous Billy Bob’s to take in the show that night.  Billy Bob is famous for being the world’s largest honkey tonk. It features a 100,000 sq foot location with live bull riding, line dancing, bars and multiple stages.

What made this night extra special was who was on the main stage…a man whose voice is unmistakable – Alabama native, Jamey Johnson. The former Marine Corp Reserve Corporal opened up the show in a black t-shirt, jeans and shades strumming his guitar to his hit “High Cost of Living” from his notable The Lonesome Song album.  He played along with his 8 piece band with one female singer who held her own next to Johnson’s unforgettable sound.

In between songs he asked, “How you feeling Fort Worth, how many of y’all had a good day?”  As he strummed the opening chords to “Color” the whole audience erupted.  The venue filled with concert goers of all ages sang every word to the song.  Johnson even stopped playing to let the crowd finish the chorus “…should’ve seen it in color”. 

Paying homage to his heroes, Johnson began to play Keith Whitley’s “I Wonder Do You Think of Me”. Johnson began to discuss the next song, a cover of Conway Twitty’s “Rainy Night in Georgia” he let out a few details that had the whole audience excited.  The first: Mr. Travis Tritt was in attendance that night. The second: Texas’ native and loved, Cody Jinks was coming on stage to sing with him. Jinks performed not one but two covers with Johnson. Closing out the show with a country favorite “Eastbound and Down” by Jerry Reed.

Johnson will be touring through December, for his tour dates head to https://www.jameyjohnson.com/
