JARET RAY REDDICK TO RELEASE DEBUT COUNTRY ALBUM "JUST WOKE UP" ON MARCH 11TH

Beloved and critically celebrated Texas musician JARET RAY REDDICK has announced plans to release his debut country album, "Just Woke Up," on March 11th via Brando Records/Que-So Records.

Born and raised in Denton, REDDICK's country roots run deep as his pride for the Lone Star State. His mom was a country singer and Willie, Waylon and the boys were on regular rotation on the family record player. Music from fellow Texan The Red Headed Stranger and his outlaw friends would prove to be vital in his development as a musician and would remain a crucial rock throughout his career.

REDDICK's debut, "Just Woke Up," is a sincere love letter to Texas, and pays homage to the greats that came before him, while giving a refreshing, unique spin on the genre. Those familiar with his work as the frontman of Grammy nominated pop-punk band BOWLING FOR SOUP will find a familiar voice and sense of humor in the music and lyrics. The album features some special guests, most notably one of REDDICK's favorite musicians and good friend FRANK TURNER who lends his vocals on "Drunk As It Takes." There's also a cameo by UNCLE KRACKER on the album opener "Way More Country," DESCENDENTS guitarist Stephen Egerton performs on "Natalie" and Cody Canada of THE DEPARTED appears on "You And Beer."

Other highlights include the home state anthem "Songs About Texas," the family tribute "Royal Family" and "One Of The Good Ones." There are also country re-workings of two of BOWLING FOR SOUP's most popular songs, "Ohio (Come Back To Texas)" and "The Bitch Song," which are likely to please fans old and new alike.
