Bill Crowder, lead vocal and songwriter for the 60's cult favorite SUGAR CUBE BLUES BAND, is back with a new release. After the original band broke up in the late 60's, Crowder quit performing, but continued to write his great songs. His music is still being performed and recorded by others as recently as 2008. Bill Crowder, AKA Country Boy Rolling Stone, has gathered material that has been requested for a long time, and compiled a great CD. SUGAR CUBE BLUES BAND fans will be interested to know that some of the original band members are still here and recording with Country Boy.
Black Crow Records, JV is proud to present the first CD in a series of COUNTRY BOY ROLLING STONE's songs. The world might have completely passed COUNTRY BOY by, except for the fact that his songs would not die. Time simply could not diminish the strength of the material. In a CD of twelve songs presented here,you will see what we mean. COUNTRY BOY'S influences are Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee, Waylon, Willie, Kris, and Bob Dylan.
This combination of influences has produced lyrically strong emotional material not heard since the outlaw years. From the iconization of the "GUARDIAN ANGEL OF THE HONKY TONK LIFE" to the soul searching self portrait of the countless singers and pickers who have played, and are still playing in the country palaces and third street bars that make up the scenic skyline of the endless road, in "COUNTRY BOY ROLLING STONE", to the good time rock and roll rendition of the title cut, "HITCHHIKING FROM MEMPHIS TO MARS", to all in between, we think you will find something you love here.
