MIND FUNK (Norris, Cotter, Martin)

Hey y’all…thought I’d share a funky little dance number that I wrote with my buddies Brad Cotter & Freddie Martin a while back. We recorded this tune at the legendary Oceanway Studios. This was a really fun one for me to produce as I was in full arrangement mode finishing the articulations for the horn charts on the fly just moments before handing them to the brass section to track their parts. Great band to work with that day…thanks to Michael Rojas, Danny Parks, Pat McGrath, Wayne Killius, Jimmy Carter, Jack Wengrosky, Jovan Quallo and Eric Legg for lending your talents.
Count it off! 💥👊😎

I heard the awful news about the passing of Blake Mevis earlier today, and to say that I’m heartbroken would be an understatement. He was a great man and creative as God makes ‘em. It was literally folks like Blake that made me ever want to move to Nashville in the first place. I was literally hooked on his work before I ever even met him, studying his productions on artists like George Strait, Keith Whitley, Vern Gosdin, Charley Pride, Clay Walker, Vince Gill, Earl Thomas Conley, Lorrie Morgan, Dean Dillon and the list just goes on and on and on. All of those records inspired me greatly and I still learn from them to this day. And what a great songwriter he was with hits like Brokenheartsville, Fool Hearted Memory, If The World Ran Out Of Love Tonight etc…

Aside from his many accolades, he was a very down to earth & likeable guy and I was honored that he took the time out of his busy life to keep wanting to get better acquainted with me. One of my fondest memories is when he asked me to share my latest project with him. Being that we were having lunch with the Hori Pro group that day and that they provided me songs from their publishing catalogue for an album I just completed on Kristi Warner called “Read My Lipstick”, I told him that I actually just picked up a batch of CD’s and literally had a few boxes in the trunk of my car. I gladly gave him one and a couple of days later, we ran into each other again at that same bar & grill we frequented and when I sat down with them all, he looked at me and didn’t say word but instead started to clap. I was literally on top of the world by that gesture and felt like I arrived.

We could all use more God fearing, freedom loving Americans like my old friend Blake in this country today. Please take a moment of silence for his grieving family and friends today all in the memory of the late great Blake Mevis. RIP brother…✨🙏

A ★★★★★ review of Slapface (2021)

Well this certainly put a smile on my face this morning. Curtis Braly and Corey Lee Barker…we like ROCK and stuff! 💥👊😎

I am rewatching Slapface with grief stricken eyes due to personal circumstances, it has made the film so much more potent. Slapface is a film about a monster in the woods, grief, remorse, belonging, bullying and emotional abuse. All I knew about the film when going in was that a boy creates a danger...

Kick ass day with these musical beasts this morning over at my buddy’s Danny Parks studio Long Hollow Sound cutting tracks for Frank Fletcher, Sonja McLeary, Adria Hyde, Kenneth Parent and one that I wrote all by my little lonesome. I rarely ever cut anything solo from my archives, but this band was the perfect storm so I treated myself. Thanks for all of y’all’s energy Danny, Duncan Mullins, Joel Key, Garth Justice, Jonathan Brown, Steve Hinson & our engineer Jesse. This world can never have enough notes or laughter! ✌️😎🎶

Merry Christmas, my friends. Here’s another grassroots homestyle holiday offering that I just finished the video on to commemorate the joy that this time of year brings. It’s always a treat to write with my talented friend Emilee Allan and then top that off with my youngest son Michael co-writing it with us was the cherry on top. 😊 I hope the season finds you with miracles and your new year is brighter than you ever imagined. Peace & much love to you all! ✌️🎅🎶

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. I hope this season is finding you all at peace. Here’s a little home recording to help lift the spirit.
Merry Christmas, my friends. ✌️🎅🎶

What a beautiful recording we worked on today for our annual Christmas offering. Emilee Allan you are a spark of holiday joy every year and seriously one of the most naturally honest singers I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting creative with. And what a wonderful thing that we wrote it with my Uber talented son. Mike Norris, you are the bomb diggity! Video coming shortly…I can’t wait to share it with y’all. 🎶☃️🎶

Great time blocking out the studio with singer/songwriter Kenya these last few days preparing her for the big studio and the recording of her first EP. I’ve met a ton of young songwriters and I’ve gotta say, she really has a unique undiscovered ability unlike most of the coat tail writers we see coming into this town. Lyrically, her choices of describing situations is not only creative but intriguing and wise beyond her years. I’m honored to be working with her. ✌️😎

Sleep in heavenly peace, my friends. ✌️😴✨

🎼 Happy Holidays, y’all! 🎶🎄❄️☃️❄️🎄🎶

11/27/2021

Thanksgiving through the years has always been a prelude to old fashioned Christmas music in my home. Here’s a pretty rendition of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas that Emilee Allan and I recorded together. Her voice is so sweet on this performance that I had to start the holliday ball rolling with this one. I hope this humble tradition brings back sweet memories of christmases from your wonder years. 🦃🍂

Great time had by all at Frank Ray’ post-Opry debut party. My last post was during intermission so I’m just now catching up…but let me tell y’all, Broken Bow Records signed a STAR with this man. His first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry and he got a standing ovation…and much deserved. Frank is the real deal! There were so many unbelievably talented folks at that party and every last one of them was filled with gratitude and humility. It really doesn’t get any better than that. Great hang had by all. Thanks for the invite Dawn Rizer & Frank Fletcher…inspiring evening around every corner! 👊😎

11/06/2021

Come on, y’all…let’s get the holiday ball rollin’!
Here’s a little ukulele love to kick it off…❄️☃️❄️

Needle - Single by Bobby Broome

Bobby Broome’s latest single “Needle” has been officially released to Texas Regional Radio and is now available for purchase on all major media platforms. This song boldly exposes the absurd and unconstitutional efforts of segregating those who can feed their families and those that have been unlawfully persecuted by this administration by deeming them unfit to keep their careers. Fellow citizens that feel spiritually uncomfortable with this mandate. Fellow citizens that don’t trust the media gaga. Fellow citizens that just want to be left the f**k alone and have every right to feel that way. There has got to be an end to this madness and hopefully this song will resonate with the subculture enough to help bridge the gap and put a stop to this irrational nonsense. We’ll either be cancelled or become millionaires with this release, no gray area there, folks…and frankly we’ll be fine with either fate. At least we had the courage to stick our necks in the guillotine of these unprecedented times.

Share share share, my friends!
And God Bless America! 👊😎🇺🇸
