Rockzillaworld -- web site mirror

How much can one fan of OKOM (Our Kind Of Music) accomplish in just a couple of years? Plenty, if it's Rockzilla, aka photographer Michael Johnson. From 2003 to 2005, rockzilla.net was a chronicle of the alt.country scene from a uniquely Texan perspective. But all good things must end, and Rockzilla has retired from the online 'zine scene.

This mirror site was copied from the rockzilla.net site with the express permission of Rockzilla hisself. If you don't believe me, go to the KHYI-Fans email list and ask him! Buddy will back me up, too.

Clay Potter
A New Man Now
Rettop Records


 
 

by Doyle Hargraves
 
 

If you're among the many folks who like their country music with a touch of that "Nashville" sound, Clay Potter's A New Man Now might be just what you've been looking for. Potter's music is traditional country and it definitely has that George Strait kind of Nashville sound to it.

The ten tunes on A New Man Now were all either written or co-written by Clay Potter. In keeping with that traditional country sound, Potter's lyrics cover traditional country subjects- Lovin', Losing, Drinking, Cheatin'. Potter has an excellent country voice, and again, his delivery has a sound reminiscent of George Strait. The songs all tend to be upbeat and well written. Potter covers his simple subjects with some clever lyrics.

I always wanted a girl like you
And I'm a natural born bull slinger
But when I threw you a line or two
You just gave me the finger

Potter(who plays lead guitar) is backed up on stage by his band of solid musicians, Texas Heat, whose members are: Bobby Neal on drums, Michael W Black on bass, and Garry Lindsey on fiddle and vocals, and Bob Ogle on steel guitar. Basel Dudley handles the band's sound system and lighting. Clay Potter and Texas Heat have a busy schedule playing at a variety of local clubs and dance halls, along with private parties. They pride themselves on being entertainers, and not just a "stand there and play" band.
