Eight of Archie’s songs have reached 1 on the charts, including "It Was Almost like a Song" from the movie "The Bridges of Madison County". Other song credits include "What a Difference You’ve Made in My Life" and "Let’s Take the Long Way around the World".

Archie claims that Slackey is doing the right thing by recording a hot song with the right voice and the best musicians in Texas and that the song was played exactly the way it was intended to be played, which is in the old Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys style. “It was on the money and couldn’t have been done any better in Nashville” – Archie Jordan

Slackey brings a vocal sound remenisent of the old time gospel hour country radio shows of the 1940’-60’s. Playing rythm’s by leading with his thumb on an old Martin acoustic and singing in high lonesome southern vocal styles kin to Bill Monroe, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Hank Sr and the flying burito brothers.
