Album Notes

For Robert Bacon it was simple. One day he was moving from his hometown of Butler, Missouri to Illinois and found an Alan Jackson cassette in the car he had purchased just before the move ­ and that was all it took. In that moment, Bacon made the decision that would change the course of his life for good: to become a country music legend.
After that fateful drive from Missouri to Illinois in 1993, Bacon took up acoustic guitar and began to write his own country music songs. He began to perform at a variety of open-mic nights, which helped him become a well-known name in the St. Louis area. To further his talent and gain stage presence, Bacon did some modeling for Sears and JCPenney, appeared in a few television commercials and music videos, and auditioned for a variety of acting roles.

Eleven years later, Bacon is fulfilling his dream by releasing his debut album, Seeing Someone New, on B&O Records, which was formed by Bacon and Jim Odell. His first single "Waiting on Tables" is certain to set the stage for the success that lies ahead. With a dedicated team by his side, Bacon is getting all his "Aces in place". He has surrounded himself with the likes of: Donnie Wren, Business Manager; Garth Akel, Tour Manager; Charlie Brown, critically acclaimed Nashville producer; and his partner, Jim Odell. With this team of dedicated people, Bacon is sure to take his dream to the next level.

When asked where he hopes to see himself three years from now, Bacon grinned and in his charming western Missouri drawl says, "I hope to be a successful recording artist, putting out good music without a big ego. I hope to tour throughout my life, with my "Aces" by my side, and inspire others to make their dreams come true as my dream continues to become a reality. None of this could happen without the support and talent of my dedicated team, whom I will always take care of."

Full of energy and drive, Bacon is burning up the country scene with his own brand of music. He sings with an emotional edge that says he knows first-hand what he is singing about. Bacon describes his style as sounding like Rhett Akins, whom he has a great deal of respect for. Producer Charlie Brown, who co-wrote all of the songs, gave Bacon the opportunity to really get things moving with his career .

Truthful, heartfelt performances, coupled with consistency and variety in material, create longevity in a collection of songs that share Bacon¹s personal experiences. Seeing Someone New is certain to establish Bacon¹s presence in the entertainment world and set the stage for a long string of future endeavors.

According to Bacon, "My time has come. My opportunity in the spotlight is all I have ever wanted."
