Hardchargers-

Was 06' good to ya? Well it was good to me. Quick recap of JDs' '06: first and foremost we toured our asses off...USA, (best shows out of Texas? Denver, NYC, Portland); Europe, (best shows? London, Amsterdam, Country Rendevouz Fest. in France); Asia, (every single show was great but Saigon was on fire!); and then Russia was off the charts. Started our Honky-Tonk Hotrod Festival w/ shows in Houston,(w/ the RoadKings!), Phoenix, Denver and the best one Portland (big thanks to our continued sponsors....JIM BEAM!) Proudest show IN Texas had to be the Katrina/Rita Benefit in Houston (we helped raise over $20,000) Time for recording?...recorded and released hit-record "Banjo & Sullivans' the Ultimate Collection" w/ Universal Records for Rob Zombies' hit movie "The Devils' Rejects" (and I didn't have to make a crappy pop country record in Nashville in order to get it done!)...recorded and released new CD on Stag Records, "The South Austin Sessions"...recorded a country-duets record w/ Brennen Leigh to be released early next year...recorded some of the best Road Kings stuff ever, release date TBA....recorded w/ legendary honky-tonk hero Johnny Bush, which will be out in March. All in all 06 was a kick ass year!

Last show of the year, open to the public, is in AUSTIN on SOUTH CONGRESS at EGOS' this FRI. NIGHT, (SHOW STARTS @ 10:30), so brang it on ya'll!

Adios Mi Amigos! JD-

p.s. New Years Resolution? Help people that are less fortunate than myself (starting in New Orleans and spreading all over the globe)...and try to get myself and Lew Temples' schedule to slow down long enough to make Balmorhea...good on ya hoss!
