The Country Classics
Featuring Bobby Flores and James Hand on Tru Country Episode 10
Episode ten of Tru Country, filmed at the Circle T Arena in Hamilton Texas, featured the very talented Bobby Flores and the equally talented and thrilling James Hand. Bobby Flores started the show with “Time Changes Everything”. Visit Bobby at Yellow Rose Records, where the sign above the door says “Great Texas Music”.
“Time Changes Everything” is a Western swing standard written by Tommy Duncan. Bobby was flawless, as always, and viewers enjoyed shots of the band. Band members are Bobby Flores on fiddle, Jim Loessberg on steel guitar, Jake Hooker on upright bass, Bob Gothar on lead guitar, Larry Mitchell on drums, and Bodie (Bode) Barker on piano.
When Bobby said “Bode” and waved to the piano we knew it was time for Mr. Bode Barker to thrill us on piano.
Bobby Flores came right back with the second song of the night, “24th Hour”, a superb version of the classic Ray Price song. After the break and a word from the Heart Of Texas Museum, Bobby performed another Ray Price classic “One More Time”, from The Essential Ray Price on Columbia Records.
“One More Time” is a song that’s great to hear, and Bobby was smiling, Jake Hooker was singing with him, Jim Loessburg was making the steel guitar ring, and everyone was having fun. You couldn’t ask for more.
James Hand was up next, singing “Just A Heart” from his new CD “Shadows On The Ground”. Did you miss it? Just click here and you can watch the video.
James Hand writes all of his own material. Does he remind you of Hank Williams? I always think of Hank when I see James, and I like to see James Hand as often as I can.
James Hand continued after the break with “In The Corner, At My Table, By The Jukebox”, a song that receives plenty of air play on Willies Place – the Texas Honky Tonk on Sirius 64. It is from his CD “The Truth Will Set You Free”.
