My other uncle is a fireman. My brother works as a construction superintendent. I've worked construction too. I've stained decks and built fences in degree weather. My father grew up white-trash broke, a ninth-grade dropout. He eventually became a self-made multi-millionaire with his own commercial drywall corporation, but we didn't have luxury growing up. Another uncle stoked Crow's imagination about living a wanderer's life.

He'd come home from two or three weeks on the road and tell stories about being in Cheyenne and then somewhere else the last night. Even more than music, this idea of the nomadic lifestyle was very romantic to me. This perspective is central to The Parade , with the added element of Crow's experiences. He grew up in tiny Maypearl, Texas, made his first attempts to write songs while in the United States Army and geared up to his current regimen as a performer on weekends while studying at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX.

Perhaps the most significant milestone in his past involved moving with his future wife Brooke to Austin, where they worked together to get him started as an artist. After a decade-plus, this is just who we are.

This is what we do. Besides," he adds, with a laugh, "it's probably the foundation of our marriage that my knucklehead ass is gone a lot. Like the border that divides his hometown from dreams of what lies beyond in his song "City Limits Signs," Crow's boundaries are dissolving. Wedding plainspoken poetry to powerful hooks and grooves, The Parade transforms daily occurrences into stories with universal resonance.

Not everyone has spent months far from home as Crow documents with irony on "Free Like Me," dreamy loneliness on "Vapor Trails" and truth telling love affair with music on "Dear Music," where he finds himself in "another where-the-hell-am-I town.

Fewer still have weathered years on the honky-tonk circuit while staying faithful to their dream, a struggle Crow recounts on "Top of Rock Bottom. Still, whether you've fought to keep your own business alive or adapt to a soul-grinding cubicle gig, you'll get the message. And if you've been burned or saved by love, you'll see yourself in the deft imagery of "Queen of the Heartache Parade," the sweet pain of "One Night with You," the worldly-wise "Here We Go Again" and the insights that weave throughout "Life Comes at You Fast.

New listeners may go beyond enjoying The Parade to identify with Crow as someone who knows first-hand the challenges of balancing one's dreams, integrity, responsibilities and reality. Our month-old twins, River and Parsons, are blowing through diapers left and right. And I've got to take money that could be going to their college funds, more money than I have in my personal checking account, sit down at the crap table of life, roll the dice and hope that someone falls in love with the 11 or 12 songs we picked.

That's why Crow's dream at this point involves more than spreading appreciation for his music from coast to coast. Do you know how many frigging songs are on there -- and you chose mine? Army that his songwriting sensibilities began to take shape. Following a move to Austin, he put together the Bart Crow Band , whose independently released debut, Finally , became a surprise regional hit, selling thousands of copies.

Over the next five years, he would release two more albums, log thousands of road miles, and notch four number one singles on the Texas charts, all without the assistance of a label. His blue collar mix of Texas country, hard-edged rock, soul, and blues would continue to win him fans the old-fashioned way: through tireless gigging, radio exposure, and dogged persistence.

Following a live album, he released his fourth studio LP, Dandelion , which debuted at number one on Billboard's South Central Heatseekers chart. He topped off that banner year with his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry as part of their 90th anniversary celebration. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript.
