Album Notes

The legions of country music fans wondering where real country has gone, need to look no further than Justin Grant. From the red dirt roads of his hometown of Uvalde, Texas, Justin has crisscrossed the US performing in clubs and at fairs up to six nights a week, often five sets a night. The influence of rich, traditional country music set the standard for Justin's passion for performing. In this & "American Idol" age, the age for instant celebrity, Justin is doing what his musical heroes Waylon Jennings, Earl Thomas Connelly, Brad Paisley, Pete Anderson, and many more have done. He has spent the last ten years traveling and playing in many different venues making a name for himself. The years of lugging equipment to small clubs from Georgia to Montana, of selling his horses because music held priority, of saying goodbye to relationships torn by his week long travels only solidified his dedication. Justin earned his journeyman's license in the electrical field in 2003 and has been working hard to support his passion. Every dime he has earned has gone to producing his CD'ss, paying for photo shoots, and the costs of trying to get that platinum record on the wall. Justin believes that singing from a working man's perspective fits his core belief that country music should be a true reflection of common people and their simple lives. "I have been referred to as an old soul and my love of the country and simple things in life are amplifiers of that trait," says Justin. This shows in Justin's music as well as showing his overwhelming respect for everyday people who through their lives leave a lasting impression on those around them. Justin's role as the troubadour for the common man was destined almost from the start.
