The Red River Mudcats Release New Single Featuring Jason Boland
Red Dirt’s Hottest New Band Breaks onto the Scene with Rockin’ Song from Debut CD
NASHVILLE, TN (July 8, 2009) – The Red River Mudcats, one of the most promising new bands to come out of the Texas-Oklahoma “Red Dirt” music scene, releases their latest Cimsound Records single, “Texas Eagle,” featuring the guest vocals of Red Dirt star, Jason Boland.
“Texas Eagle” was written by the late Bob Childers, who is considered by many to be the Godfather of the Stillwater, Oklahoma Red Dirt movement. The song is from the group’s forthcoming self-titled CD.
The Red River Mudcats are comprised of Texas singer/songwriter Liz Calendar, teamed with hot Okie players - including guitarist/songwriter/producer Jeffrey Parker; drummer Dixie Weathers, and bassist Bobby Ryan Lester, who collectively deliver Americana Roots-Rock with flavors of Southern-fried Country Rock, Red Dirt, and fiery Texas Blues Rock.
Parker, considered by many to be one of the top guitarists in the business, has a long and deep connection to the Oklahoma Red Dirt music scene. In the ‘90s, he owned and operated Cimarron Sound Lab in Stillwater. During this period, Parker played on, engineered and/or produced seminal records by many of the singer/songwriters who were at the forefront of the Red Dirt movement, including Bob Childers, Bill Erickson, Mike McClure and Tom Skinner among others. And he played a key role in the development of some of the biggest stars in the genre, including co-producing and recording the first Cross Canadian Ragweed albums, Carney and Live And Loud.
Parker was involved with Jason Boland’s early career and fondly recalls, “Jason took guitar lessons from me when I worked at Daddy O’s Music. Later on, I co-engineered on the Bob Childer’s track “Change In The Weather” for his ‘Pearl Snaps’ album that Lloyd Maines produced. So, it is really cool to get to work with him again on another Childer’s song – all these years later! Both of us feel truly blessed to have known and worked with him.”
