music myspace layoutsFor thirty years Steve Simmons has listened to the Country music of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Gram Parsons, Guy Clark and all those guys that put a complete story to music. Those guys that noticed the things that you knew but really didn't think about until you heard it in thier songs. For those thirty years Steve traveled the oil field roads, country roads, and dirt trails of East Texas and learned to observe. "There's always something out there to see and to write about, if you're willing to slow down and see it."About "Texas Calling Me Home" author: Rudy Minnaert "Country Eagle" The Netherlands
“awesome cd pure Texacan country music. Great lyrics. Chills and goosebumps.†Country Eagle.Americana UK says,
"Steve Simmons hails from Texas, a fact about which you are never in doubt at any point during 'Calling Me Home'. It is difficult to imagine a record more typical of that state. Simmons' music is heavier than much Texas country, seeming at points to take inspiration from southern rock and even ZZ Top...Simmons' are vocals robust enough to hold their own against the backing, and he has a distinctive phrasing which is always welcome. There are moments in which his almost pugilistic delivery suggests Warren Zevon, and considering the mordant nature of songs such as 'Bad Attitude' or 'Company Man,' this is rather appropriate. He can also recall that master of wry Texas country, Terry Allen, especially on the half-spoken '70 Model 3/4 Ton Ford'."
