This Mississippi native and Texas transplant has spent the last seven years in an incubation period undergoing a musical metamorphosis that has led him through lonesome delta blues, inspirational church house harmonies, poetically spun tales of Americana and into the naked and honest regions of good ole’ country music. AM COUNTRY HEAVEN, Eady’s fourth record release, originated as a side project with friend (and producer) Kevin Welch. The plan was to lay down some old school authentic country music out of sheer self-indulgence and as a labor of love. As the recordings got underway more and more people appeared in the studio contributing their ideas and adding their personal touches until their side project evolved into what is the highly anticipated album everyone is talking about.
AM COUNTRY HEAVEN features Redd Volkaert on guitar, Earl Poole Ball on piano, Tom Lewis on drums and Kevin Smith on acoustic bass – all members of Austin’s all-star team of country music players called Heybale. Combined, they have recorded and toured with artists such as Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Junior Brown, Dale Watson, Connie Smith and Johnny Bush. They’re responsible for the southern swagger on this album’s tunes like “AM Country Heaven” and “I’ll Sure Be Glad When I’m Wrong.” Add legendary pedal steel player Lloyd Maines on the soulful “Longer Walk In The Rain” and “Lying To Myself” and a special vocal appearance from the incomparable Patty Loveless on “Man On A Mountain” and Eady’s rich baritone timber, and what you have is a pure honky-tonk affair in the tradition of all the great troubadours that came before him. Although the radical departure that is AM COUNTRY HEAVEN is sure to strike fans like a storm without warning, it seems that Eady is merely living up to his reputation for the element of surprise as perfectly stated by USA Today who said, “This Mississippi native’s blues-rocker creeps up like gathering thunderheads.”
