BETA Records - Your music matters!

When you meet Johnny Rodes, you are struck by the polite power in his voice and manner. Here’s a man who could kick your butt up and down Music Row physically and musically, but he is too much of a (Southern) (Country) gentleman for that. He waits until he is onstage to unleash the fury through his high-energy performances. You watch, and you listen to the music, and you are reminded that the outlaw is there, riding shotgun all the time. You are breathing the same intoxicating air as that genre-bending, rule-breaking rebel – JOHNNY RODES.

That’s right! He has a rebel tattoo on his arm and the South forever tattooed on his heart.

Ask him about his epic tune, “28 Miles to Go,” and he’ll tell you with pride, “The South didn’t lose the war – the North went home. The video for this song (possibly the most expensive video even produced by an indie artist) features Johnny as his former stage name self, Johnny Reb.
Johnny Rodes’ CD SOUTHERN ETIQUETTE is too new for us to recognize the unique impact it will have on music. Years from now, critics, fans, and music historians will look back on this album and realize that it changed the face of Nashville forever. It is that good.

Johnny is the man who’s teaching Nashville “A New Religion,” and he’s doing it with that same sense of “Southern Etiquette” – always asking first, “Is That Alright with You?” He’ll warn you that you are standing on “Unstable Ground,” but he’ll never leave you feeling hopeless. He’ll apologize again for being so honest, “I’m So Sorry,” and then he’ll show you that just “One Step Out of View,” just “Over the Horizon,” you can see the “Indiana Sun” or feel the “California Breeze.” Your destiny is not that far off, only “28 Miles to Go.”



There are many more such albums to come from this man bursting with talent. He has such a vast catalog of quality songs blowing in the wind that Bob Dylan might be calling one day soon to ask, “How many, Rodes?”
Nikki Morgan is the manager of Johnny Rodes and co-editor of Back Rodes Girls magazine.

Johnny makes music the old-fashioned way – he (earns) (learns) (lives) it!
