Jamie Richards is not a man who fears the machine or cares what “they” think. With boldness, Jamie dares to go where most have drifted from: traditional, honest, downright real country music. With his third release, “Drive”, Jamie has come to a crossroads where his raw talent meets his maturity as a songwriter. These two forces have met and created a masterpiece of real country music.
After eight years of getting his musical education in Oklahoma honky-tonks, Jamie ventured out east to Music City. Jamie quickly learned that Music City doesn’t always welcome “real country singers” with open arms. Every day Jamie watched great singers leave town, discouraged by the corporate nature of Music Row and the pop-influenced sound that was being made mainstream. Still, Jamie forged on, unaffected by the manufactured nature of Nashville, relying on his bulldog mentality, his perseverance paid off. His mastery of the songwriting craft caught the attention of Curb Records, who offered him a position as a staff writer. For almost five years, Jamie played the part of the prolific staff songwriter for the mega publishing company, securing cuts with major label artists and several motion pictures. During his tenure, he was offered several record deals. All of the opportunities started out with the same promise, but always ended with the fear that Jamie was “too country.” Never one to compromise his beliefs, he dismissed their ideas of turning him into another cookie cutter country act.
