ROCK ME MAMA LIKE A WAGON WHEEL

"Rock me Mama like the wind and the rain

Rock me Mama like a southbound train

Hey, Mama rock me"

If you get a chance, check out Jeremy McComb's website. You'll be especially glad you did if you like country music.

Jeremy is an Austin boy (by way of Spokane, WA) and grew up in a musical family. It's in his blood!

A couple of years ago (through Marshall Tucker Band connections), Jeremy ended up here in town to record a demo. David and I were called in to sing back-up after everything else had been cut. In most regards, it was "just another studio session." At the time, Jeremy was on tour as Larry the Cable Guy's road manager. (No. I didn't make that up. Does sound kind of random though, doesn't it?!)

Jeremy then got an actual record deal and came back to Spartanburg to record his full album! We do have an unbelievable pool of musicians in this one-horse town. David and I (and our good friend Mike) were called in to do the back-ups on all of those songs. Jeremy was actually in the studio that time and we had a blast!!!! This kid is a hoot. He has piles of energy and loves to makes people laugh. We hadn't had that much fun in the studio in ages.

Jeremy came back several months later and cut a few more songs. Once again, we hung out, cut up, goofed off and laughed with him in the studio. Oh. And sang. Yeah. We did some of that too.

The wait is finally over and his first single has hit country radio (call and request if you get a chance). "Wagon Wheel" is the first song they've released. It was a blast to record. Pretty much just a rare-back-and-belt-it kinda tune.
