TAMMY JO & THE IRON HORSE BAND ON THE RON KING SHOW

Send us a text

Hi Folks: Well, we have a great interview and some excellent original country music on this edition of the RON KING SHOW.  Our three studio guests include Tammy Jo & Iron Horse; all from the upper Ohio Valley (Moundsville, WV and St. Clairsville, Ohio) and are comprised  of Larry Truex on electric  bass guitar,  John (Buster) Gatten on electric lead guitar and Tammy Jo Whitlatch on acoustic guitar and vocals.  Tammy Jo & Iron Horse have only been together a little over a year but the individual members of the band all have years of experience  playing with other bands before getting together to play in Iron Horse. The group has just released their first CD together called "MY CADILLAC" and boy is it a good one! Their title tune written by Tammy, called "My CADILLAC, is quite reminiscent of the vibe on the Grammy winning CD "RAISING SAND," produced by T Bone Burnett and starring Allison Krause and Robert Palmer. Another great original tune on the new CD, also written by Tammy, is a song called "WEST VIRGINIA." (No. not the one by John Denver; that song is called "Country Roads.) And to let  you hear just how unbelievably good the band is we'll let you hear "WEST VIRGINIA"  on the podcast. We think that TAMMY JO & IRON HORSE is one of the very best country bands to come out of west Virginia in a long time and, after listening to their music, we think you'll agree. Happy listening!   Ron King
