Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/
Sonny Burgess Official Website) -
Sonny Burgess is returning to his
Texas roots. "The past few months have provided me and my band to perform at a mix of honky tonks and family events in
Texas and Oklahoma where my style of country music is greatly appreciated. My band is tight and really playing well together so I want to focus my career efforts back in my stomping grounds. I want to show my thanks to those fans by providing this exclusive song, "Cowboy Cool", to the Oklahoma and
Texas markets specifically".
Sonny wrote the song for eight-time World Champion calf and steer roper, Roy Cooper. In turn, Roy selected the song to be included on the DVD documenting his life and times entitled "Roping My Dreams: My Love, Passion, Body & Soul." "Cowboy Cool" will hit radio via CD Tex August Volume 57. "Texas giants like Bob Wills, Ray Price, Willie Nelson, and George Strait have built dynasties in this state and I hope somewhere down the road, my name is similarly related to great Texas country music", Burgess said commenting on his career endeavors. As one fan commented, "Sonny Burgess is the Modern Day Prince of Texas honky tonks". That fan should know, it was Texas' own John Rich of duo fame, Big and Rich.
Sonny and his management are embracing new ways of making his music available to consumers through the digital world by continuously exploring new opportunities to give his fans even more ways to stay abreast of Sonny's music. Making his music, including this single, available for purchase through iTunes and other Internet based outlets such as YouTube, My Space, Digital Rodeo, CMT.com, and Yahoo! Music, will give Sonny's fans instant fulfillment and provide an opportunity for listeners to purchase exclusive material that may not otherwise be available through brick & mortar outlets.
In addition to Sonny's music being available 24/7 through the web, Sonny's latest video, "The More I'm Around Some People, The More I Like My Dog" is set to air on CMT Pure Country's show, "Hey Y'all, Watch This."
