SHOULDN' - new single & video

release date January 6, 2016

 

The newest single from the Grand Prize Winner of both the Great American Song Contest & West Coast Songwriters International Song Contest...

 

Whether it's Hoyt Axton's "Boney Fingers," Hank Williams, Jr.'s "Family Tradition," or Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman," redneck anthems have always occupied a place of honor in the country music pantheon.

 

To this, I humbly submit my shameless salute to the genre.

"You can tell me that I shouldn'... but I ain't shouldn' on myself!"
