Throw in a little Blues from Stevie Ray Vaughn and some rock n' roll from Black Crowes, Matchbox 20 and some good old Southern Rock, blend it all up with a little beer drinkin' and life livin' and you got a County Road Zero cocktail.
There are really too many of our favorite artists to mention. But if you can hear them on radiofreetexas.org or buy it at lonestarmusic.com, they probably influenced us one way or the other.
.. County Road Zero was established by Daniel Barton in 2000. After years of playing throughout Texas, Daniel decided to settle down outside of Cleveland, Texas and form a band to promote his original Texas music. Nine years later and two CDs down of those originals and things are taking off. The musicians in the band have that uncommon ability to create enormous energy revealed in their live performances at festivals and venues throughout the state.

RECORDINGS
County Road Zero - Memoirs & Mosquitos - Mud Duck Studio - Formed in 2000 and playing all over the state, County Road Zero finally settled in Cleveland, Texas and have appeared frequently in our area, including the Conroe Cajun Catfish Festival. Comprised of Daniel Barton on guitar/lead vocals, Glen Schultz on lead guitar, Charlie Hopper on bass, and Stephen Oneil on drums, they have that uncommon ability to create enormous energy at their live performances. The songs on this release were all written by Daniel and range from sublime ballads to straight-ahead rockers. “Mile Marker 94” features stinging guitars and a message of leaving “on the south side of being gone”, while more subdued “Wake By Daylight” weaves a tale of broken hearts and lies, and “Love Your Lady” is a soft and comfortable ballad of love. The wistful “She Likes To Showboat” (and I like to drink) takes a cowboy who wants to be alone out with his girl who likes to party, and “B List Singer” picks up the speed with this tale about wanting to be a star. He really slows it down on “Love Is Sweet & Love Is Blind” a mournful tale of the ups and downs of love, but picks up steam again on “Blue Days” a soothing look at drinking and dreaming, then he kicks out the jams on “Promise Land”, a gospel-tinged rocker with smokin’ guitars. There are lots of nice ballads and some great guitar work here. Look for them at local venues. Find them at www.myspace.com/countyroadzero
