Chris is an old friend of Bo’s and the two of them wrote I’m Gone, which is on Bo’s album See The Light, and American Blood, which I suspect has been getting a […]

Bo’s Making New Friends
I was doing some searching on MySpace today looking for information on the BB Kings clubs, but MySpace’s search facility sucks, so I didn’t find what I was looking for.
I did stumble across this great singer-songwriter whose page popped up because he plays in the house band at BB Kings in Nashville.
What’s interesting is […]

Go Tell Thomas Why You’re a Loser
You guys know I love Thomas Lee’s MySpace blog. It has everything anyone could ever want to read - music, humor, talking soft toys and a psychopathic bear. If you’re not subscribed, you need to be - and if you can’t leave him comments because you don’t have a MySpace page, well then you need […]

This is going to be a special one, because Thomas Lee is going to be bringing it in, on teevee, in New York City! (altogether now…Get a rope!) Tommy will be playing the keys and maybe sneezing like a swarm of bees with Stephen Cochran and the New Country Outlaws in Times Square. Yes, that […]

I Wanted You
Bo’s keyboard player Thomas Lee just posted a new song and a blog explaining the song.
I Wanted You is a tender and sensitive exploration of the way we have all felt after a break-up. I particularly like the line “I want to say that I love you, but I don’t think that I should” because […]

Jason Isbell CD Release
Former Drive-by-Trucker and Friend-of-Bo, Jason Isbell releases his solo CD today. I would never have discovered Jason’s music if it wasn’t for Bo, so that’s one MORE reason to be grateful to His Hawtness.
I have an advance copy of ‘Sirens of the Ditch’ and I definitely recommend picking one up. It’s not an instant […]

Chris Tompkins on Songwriting, Muscle Shoals, and Pretty Little Souped Up Four-Wheel Drives
Chris Tompkins, co-writer of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and Bo Bice’s “American Blood,” recently shared some thoughts with Bona Fide Bice on his songwriting, his roots, his success and Southern Rock today. (And yes, Bo too.)
You’ve had quite a run lately, haven’t you? First Jimmy Buffet and “Bama Breeze,” then the juggernaut that […]

Bo’s Friend Jason Isbell
While we wait for Bo to finish that amazing new CD, I’ve been listening a lot to Jason Isbell, who played with Bo many years ago, and whose wife Shonna Tucker sings on Recipe for Flavor. Recently many of us heard the bootleg recording of Jason, Gary, Bo and Chris Tompkins singing “Whipping Post” at […]
