Jake Penrod is the name being heard more and more in the Texas music scene. A relative newcomer, the singer has quickly earned a reputation as a master of Honky-Tonk music, who not only sings and writes, but can also play just about any instrument you hand him. In 2013, he released an album of original material, titled “Closer To Me”. The album showcases Jake Penrod’s songwriting ability as well as musicianship across an array of different styles of Honky Tonk music. He wrote each song on the album and played every instrument in authentic Honky Tonk fashion, proving he knows his stuff when it comes to traditional Country Music. Jake is a Country Music traditionalist who believes moving forward doesn’t necessarily mean leaving the past behind. “There were a lot of great ones before me,” he says. “There’s still a lot you can do with what they started. These new guys; they’re creating something new and different, and that’s great, but we can’t forget where we came from. If Country Music is going to carry on, you have to keep the roots alive.”

Hank Williams – Lovesick Blues lyrics
[Chorus]
I got a feeling called the blues, oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord, I don’t know what I’ll do
All I do is sat and sigh, “Oh Lord”
The last long day she said goodbye
Well, Lord, I thought I would cry
She’ll do me, she’ll do you, she’s got that kind of loving
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it’s all over; I’ve lost my heart it seems
I’ve grown so used to you somehow
But I’m nobody’s sugar daddy now
And I’m lonesome, I got the lovesick blues
[Verse]
Well I’m in love, I’m in love with a beautiful gal
That’s what’s the matter with me
Well I’m in love, I’m in love with a beautiful gal
But she don’t care about me
Lord, I tried and I tried to keep her satisfied
But she just wouldn’t stay
So now that she is leaving this is all I can say
[Chorus]
I got a feeling called the blues oh Lord
Since my baby said goodbye
Lord, I don’t know what I’ll do
All I do is sat and sigh, “Oh Lord”
The last long day she said goodbye
Well, Lord, I thought I would cry
She’ll do me, she’ll do you, she’s got that kind of loving
Lord, I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it’s all over; I’ve lost my heart it seems
I’ve grown so used to you somehow
But I’m nobody’s sugar daddy now
And I’m lonesome, I got the lovesick blues
GENIUS
