Jody Nix ~ Silver Dew On The Bluegrass

Country.. cd available www.cdbaby.com Jody Nix is a talented Western singer, fiddler and band leader. He and his band, The Texas Cowboys, play the legendary style of Western swing created in the 1940s and 1950s by two great talents, Bob Wills and Jody's father, Hoyle Nix.

By age 4, Jody Nix was playing drums in the music sessions his father held. At 8, when most children are learning the music scales, he began his professional career, playing five nights a week for his father's band, The West Texas Cowboys.

In 1973, at twenty-one, Jody performed on Bob Wills' last album, "FOR THE LAST TIME". Bob Wills had a stroke during the session and later died.

When Jody's father, Hoyle, died, Jody moved from the drums to the fiddle. And he also moved from the back of the stage to the front, singing and leading the band. His natural talents, total dedication to western swing fiddle have dazzled audiences ever since. As a band leader, Jody created a mix of pure, traditional western swing and true country music which blends to produce a unique sound that appeals to the educated listener of today.

I got to know Jody Nix in the late 1980's when I did a morning talk show for KSNY radio in Snyder, Texas. Nix was based just over the sand hills to the West, in Big Spring, so he often dropped by the studio. And I performed on the same programs with him a few times. A very nice guy, with more talent than it is legal for one person to have.

Love this one, the piano sprinkled in was really delightful. The patriotism went very well with the shuffle . Another new artist for me. Thanks Aussie.
