What you want to know? I guess I could tell you how great I am why you should buy my music. I will tell you this, I’m lucky enough to do what I want in this life & have wasted enough time trying to be what most people think I should. Some say I work just enough out in the swamp not to be considered a bum & play music just enough not to be called a loser. I guess that’s all true if the glass is half empty. But I’ve had all of the creature comforts I thought would make me happy. I know now, all I can do is follow my better instincts.
Thanks to the Almighty, my friends, and family who are responsible for my music & all the good things that have happened to me. This website is for you.
BANDRYLAND IS THE NEW NAME OF THE DREW LANDRY BAND & SHARECROPPER'S WHINE THE ALBUM RELEASE DATE 5/27/08
“Sometimes you get an idea for a song in your head. Write out the lyrics & try to find the chords, but seldom does it sound much like you intended”. Not this time ..
“You can ask anybody that has ever visited, there’s no other place like Southwest Louisiana. It was great to get this one at home. The sound quality of this record is largely due to the patience & skill of Jay Burton (who guided me through production, did most of the mixing, and even mastered the recording). Twenty three musicians gave their talents to this project for grand total of one hundred twenty dollars, six fish fillets, and a few burgers from Richies.”
