The Last Minute Band:
Robert L Clarkson (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar) and whoever backs me up.
Influences
Johnny Cash, Little Jimmy Dickens, Billy Walker, Ray Price, June Carter, Charlie Daniels, Hank Williams (both sr & jr), Doc Watson, Gordon Lightfoot, Faron Young,Lynard Skynard, Most of the Grand Ole Opry (the real members not the junk they try to pass off today) such as Ernie Ashworth, Porter Wagoner, Johnny Russel, Del Reeves, Stonewall Jackson and all the other classic country stars that held true to their roots and didn’t play for stardom but because they loved entertaining people, like the Carter family, Ernest Tubb, Minnie Perle, Jerry Clower, Jerry Reed, also great songwriters who lived it before they wrote it Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard. This may seem like a lot but it’s what goes into my show. I spend hours studying and listening to how all the greats did it, not because I want to be them just in the same category.
Sounds Like
Most people say Johnny Cash, and I do have a deep voice, but I've been compared to many people. The best way to describe who I sound like is: ME. Please enjoy the videos below.
Mind your own Buisness
I nailed Jesus to the cross
When the roll is called up yonder
Waiting on a southbound train
Buy Blame it on the Bottle as an mp3 album!
I was born and raised in middle Tennessee, and grew up near College Grove (about 30mi south of Nashville). I'm the husband of a wonderful loving wife and the father of five children.
I'm a U.S. Army veteran of four years (1989-1993). I served in Korea, Ft Carson, CO. and Dhahran Saudi Arabia. I continue to support the military in every way possible. Reminding myself daily that the freedom of our country depends on the service men and women worldwide.
I have a strong deep voice, with gospel being my specialty. I also do many traditional style country songs, including a large number of cover songs. I have been the song leader of Prairie Plains Baptist church since August 2006.
I use the Blue Letter Bible for online Bible study give it a try below
