About Me

"The music buisiness is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where theives and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. It also has a negative side." Hunter S. Thompson

Rodney's musical philosophy is sound and simple. In this paragraph, you will see some quotes from Rodney speaking to this. A lover of all kinds, formats, era's and types of music from classical to rap, he beleives that there really are only two kinds of music, "Good" and "Bad". With the obvious acknowledgement that tastes and interpretations will mostly always differ, Rodney beleives that there are absolutes that transcend opinion. Rodney's veiw is that "Good music" has "absolutely NO bounderies." "It is a sphere of limitless creativity and energy." " A power unto itself, it should not be subjugated by any standards or guidelines other than the raw emotion of the composer, wether that be emotionally, stylistically, lyrically, instrumentally, or otherwise." His veiw of "Bad music" is "music that is without soul, feeling and honesty, or music that is compressed into a box of foreign ideas or guidelines, thereby becoming capricious, to satisfy other purposes than the raw art of the composition." All that being said, it is very clear where Rodney's influences flow from as a composer, writer, and vocalist. "It is extremely important that the producer of a work is of one accord with the artist, that the objectives of the song may be reached both commercialy and artistically, with as much success as possible."

Long Miles on the road driving the big rigs, the semi cab was his vocal booth. With the tar strips slapping syncopated time under his wheels, the mighty roar of his finely tuned 855 cubic inch diesel engine, and the tanks sloshing full of fuel he has over a million miles of practice.
Rodney has put together an amazing 1st Album titled "Hot Rod" with the guidance of Producer/Arranger Gary Earl and a cast of the most elite Nashvile Musicians including:
Richard Bennett
Will Ray
Glen Worf
Chad Cromwell
