One Flew South

One Flew South

Artist Description

They’re called One Flew South, but Royal Reed, Chris Roberts and Eddie Bush, whose debut album is appropriately titled Last of the Good Guys, actually had to fly north to launch their career. A Decca Records conference room, three voices and 20 minutes were all that was required to land the group a recording deal. Now, nearly eight months later the vocal group, who worked with some of music’s most prominent songwriters including Marcus Hummon and J.D. Souther, is ready to release their debut album April 29th.

Regardless of the time it took for One Flew South to land their recording and publishing contract, they are no overnight success. Rather, the three Nashville based vocalist-songwriters have been involved in the music business for years prior to hitting upon a perfect combination and bringing back to life a band starring three superbly matched vocalists whose harmonies are unparalleled. “From the first moment the three of us sang together it felt like home,” said Chris Roberts. “We jelled musically inside the studio and personally outside the studio.”

One Flew South teamed up with Nashville songwriter Marcus Hummon to produce their debut album. A Nashville-based songwriter whose catalog contained six No. 1 hits from the likes of The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts’ Grammy-winning “Bless the Broken Road,” Marcus bought out the best in all three members of the group from singing to songwriting. The guys also teamed up with legendary songwriter J.D. Souther, who co-wrote such Eagles’ classics as “Best of My Love” and “Heartache Tonight,” to write several of the tracks on the album. J.D.’s notable lyrical ability is prominent on the album and the result is nothing less than an amazing.
