"There is something about [James Robert Webb's] music, his lyrics that captivated my mother's heart. Reading more about Webb, couldn't help but know he writes what he lives. Radiologist. Husband. Father of three. Family values." -
Donna Block, Medium
"A modern honky tonker that avoids all the bro country clichés and lets the party proceed. Nothing but a good time party on a platter, he knows the moves and serves them up just right. With the properly righteous vibe powering the proceedings, Webb has some winning ways already on display and this set is sure to serve up a bunch more. Well done." -
Midwest Record
"'I am turning into a big fan of JRW. He has a great voice and his sound is very
radio friendly and contemporary whilst maintaining a firm respect for traditional country" -
Paul Whitehouse, Beyond Radio, UK
True to his blue-collar roots, James Robert Webb walks the line between traditional and contemporary country music. Raised on a small farm outside of Tulsa, he grew up listening to a wide variety of Oklahomans including Bob Wills, Garth Brooks and Leon Russell. His sound is driven by his unique, indefinable voice and organic, neo-traditionalist style fused with modern production. His 2016 debut, Pictures, yielded two top-40 singles on the Music Row Country Breakout chart - "Makin' Love Tonight" and "How That Feels." In 2019, one of country music's most award-winning and renowned producer's Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson) took notice of Webb's unique style. The pair recorded and recently released a collection of 13 songs titled James Robert Webb and broke new ceilings for the artist. "[This album] offers every reason to believe he'll continue to succeed." - American Songwriter. "April May," penned by Webb himself, was No. 10 on CDX's True Indie Songs of the Year chart in 2019. His swingin' version of the hit song "Tulsa Time" has enjoyed support from Apple Music and frequent play on SiriusXM Willie's Roadhouse. His newest single, "Think About It" is his first to debut in the Top 40 on Billboard and his third to reach the Top 25 on the Music Row Chart. His music has continued to attract new opportunities for the "easygoing giant." He recently played Calf Fry 2019, was chosen to headline the Southfork Music Festival in Parker, Texas and continues to play across the country connecting directly with the fans.
