Bob Simpson

About Me

Texas based singer/ songwriter, Bob Simpson creates tales of life & love.Born and raised in West Texas, Bob remembers when he was just 2 years old and his dad played him a Merle Haggard album. That’s all it took. He was hooked on classic country….Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Bob Wills, Marty Robbins, George Jones, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, just to name a few. When Bob was 15, he read about Eric Clapton teaching himself to play guitar at 17, so (no money to afford lessons) he taught himself to play guitar. Later on, listening to James Iha’s “ Let It Come Down” and Ryan Adams (during the Whiskeytown era), he was inspired to write.We all have questions and doubts about life and love. Bob’s songs give us an insightful look at the sacrifices, challenges and consequences of living.Bob Simpson’s first cd was released on Aug. 1st on Wayfair Records.I made this myspace background at
