FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Truck driver turned chart topping traditional country singer, Bobby Dean, has celebrated his share of successes this past year. After spins of his sophmore album on Lamon Records, Country Country, garnered critical success at radio, the record has continued to show up on indie charts nationwide.
As the title suggests, the music on this project is nothing but pure country. His song “Me and George Strait” just topped the New Music Weekly Chart at #1, and entered the Top 80 on Music Row’s Chart in
September, and his newest single, “You Can’t Drink ‘Em All” is at NMW,
MR, Billboard and MediaBase stations now. “White Lightning or Pink
Champaign” earned similar success on NMW (Top 5) and Music Row (Top 80)
in May of this year.

Produced by Grammy nominated producer and Lamon label president Dave Moody, and engineered and mixed by Academy of Country Music Award winning engineer Steve Marcantonio at the legendary Sound Emporium in Nashville, Country Country has all the right elements to feed the appetite of today’s traditional country music lover.
“In 2010, I had the honor and privilege of hearing Bobby Dean’s first demo album. It
reminded me of Country Music the way that it used to be – long before
all the bells and whistles such as Pro Tools that make the music sound
perfect yet sometimes lifeless,” says Moody.

There’s nothing lifeless about this Kent, WA native’s approach to
music. Put simply, he sounds like he is having a blast. His enjoyment
comes across in such fun filled honky tonk material as “White Lightning
or Pink Champagne” and “Me And George Strait.” Dean isn’t trying to save
the world nor make a huge socio-political statement, he’s just wanting
you to forget your problems for two to three minutes.

Bobby Dean loves the classics, and on Country Country, he adds
his own vocal touch to George Jones’ 1974 classic “The Grand Tour” as
well as the Buck Owens (via Terry Fell) classic “Truck Driving Man.” He
wants to celebrate the originals as well as the impact they’ve had on
his own sound, rather than make you forget them. The Grammy nominated
Moody Brothers and Grand Ole Opry veteran George Hamilton IV join him on
“Truck Driving Man,” and offer up some spirited vocal exchanges.

From his home near Seattle, Washington, where he owns and operates a
successful trucking company, Bobby Dean says he’s happy just “living
the dream.” As we’ve seen lately with shows like NBC’s The Voice, it’s
never too late to try and live it. “I’ve always loved singing country
music,” reflects Bobby Dean. ”I’m just so grateful to Lamon Records for
this opportunity. It’s been an amazing journey so far and I’m grateful
for all the support the fans and country radio have given me and my
music.”

Dave Moody adds “We’ve done some out of the box music video pieces
as well for this music collection. “Another Last Chance” is a 15 minute
movie short featuring three songs from Country Country that are
tied together with a common storyline – a first for Nashville. Bobby is
an artist who wants to push the envelope and we hope to reach a broader
audience with this new CD release and film.”
