Nash Next Artist to Watch and country artist Rudy Parris spent some time on the Nash Morning Show with Jim & Kristin talking about his upcoming debut album ‘Makin My Way’ due out in June. The first single on the album is a great song called “Party Out Back”.

Rudy’s roots come from the Bakersfield sound due in part to his relationship with Buck Owens. Rudy cites Owens and Merle Haggard as his greatest influences, and feels fortunate to have been mentored by the masters. Preorder Rudy’s album by going to his website HERE

I am a huge Merle Haggard fan and Rudy was kind enough to do a cover of one of my favorite Merle songs…”I Think I’ll Just Stay Here and Drink”. Check this out! -Jim
