From the desk of Tracy Pitcox: Johnny Bush was born in the blue-collar neighborhood of Kashmere Gardens in Houston, Texas. Bush listened to the western swing music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys and the honky-tonk sounds of artists like Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizzell and Hank Thompson.

You’ve Got Till Sundown primarily features the voice of Johnny Bush, with whom I had the pleasure of speaking the other day. The album this song comes from is “Lost Highway Saloon” from 2000. The song “You’ve Got Till Sundown” gets air time on Willie’s Place XM-13, as do many of Johnny Bush’s songs. A smooth mellow song with a Texas twang, George Chambers, Bobby Flores, Jerrad Green, and Randy Reinhart help put this song together. All are talented artists in their own right. The song is 3:38 in length.
HANK STONE sounds a bit like Ray Price, Darrell McCall, Johnny Bush, or perhaps Curtis Potter. What we’re saying is that there is a side of country music that regular FM stations fail to recognize. With the possible exception of stations in Texas, and those that feature traditionalists, I did not find this niche until I had been listening for over forty years. So who is this man, and what does he sound like? Take a listen.
