Hardcore Troubadour

"That's best way to describe Jed Clampit. No fancy production. No cookie-cutter sounds. You can smell the smoke and taste the whiskey when you hear Jed sing about his life on the road. Shades of Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and the great Willie Nelson ride the tones of his voice and the notes of his guitar. He's an American original who will likely never attain the recognition he deserves due to the current state of country radio. There's a roadhouse in Heaven where Hank Sr., Jimmie Rodgers, Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie, Townes and other legends play every night. When they drop a coin in the jukebox, you can bet they punch in a Jed Clampit song and play along with him, looking forward to the day, far in the future, when the Ozark songsmith will step onto their stage and play a set for the souls of the true, pure, hardcore troubadour in everyone who loves real music from the heart of six-string poets."

"Anyone that is interested in getting more than their money's worth Jed is the perfect choice. A real class act as a person as well as a performer! Jed's "Front Porch Contempary" style and talent makes him as good or better than most top names in the business. We had the privledge of his company recently and we were very impressed with his unforgetable performance. We are blessed to have such local talent. Don't pass up the chance to check him out when he's in town!

"Jed Clampit Live is a wonderful example of pure musical honesty. This musician provides the spirit and essence that fits the listener looking for purity in lyrics and composition in today's music. An album which will prove as true tomorrow as today."
