John Paul Hodge’s outlaw
country has an uncanny soul and a genuine feel. Part Cherokee
and all troubadour with a raspy, low voice and spitfire
lyrics, it feels as if you’re listening to a lost king of
country music. Born and raised in Northern California, Hodge
says he doesn’t feel like a Western artist. As a self-taught
musician, he’s followed his heart through many genres in
search of what satisfies him the most. From rap to metal to
reggae, screaming and smoking has brought out this version of
Hodge. A heavy dose of blood, sweat and tears went into the
making of his latest recording, Outlaw
Bits, released in 2019 and produced over a span of
eight years. He and his band channeled the vibes of Merle
Haggard and Waylon Jennings, and it finally came together.
The result is a collection of barroom romance, political
belligerence and soulful heartache, sprinkled with a small
dose of activism.
