Birmingham’s 2006 CD, “No Apologies,” spawned a #1 single and earned the
country music outlaw a top ten spot in the Best Of Texas Top 30 songs of
the year.
He has been compared to Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams, Jr. and
producer Eric Paul described the country traditionalist as “the first
real singer of the 21st century.” Humbled by the accolades, Birmingham
attributes his pure and gritty musical style to his true grit life
style.
“I believe that country music should reflect the common people,” says
Birmingham. “That’s pretty much my mission statement, to stay grounded
in the knowledge that I‘m a blue collar individual, a country boy. There
are a lot of people out there like me, and I’d like to be their voice.”
This South Texas native is no manufactured “hat act.” Birmingham is a
REAL cowboy. A former professional bullrider who has enough pins, plates
and screws in his body to make it difficult to pass an airport scanner,
Birmingham’s music is steeped in stark realism.
“I never really quit riding bulls,” he laughs. “The music just sort of
took over. But, what you see is what you get when you deal with me, and
that is how I want to come across through my music.”
Critics agree that Birmingham indeed delivers on record and on stage.
One of the best reviewed acts of 2006, he has been described as
“refreshing,” “rough & tumble,” and “a true Texas treasure.”
His #1 single, “If You Don’t Like Me,” confirmed his place as an
extraordinary talent on the Texas music scene and his new BMA Records
release, “Like My Daddy Did,” will introduce the rest of the nation to
our Texas treasure.
