Almost a George Strait Song, "Rodeo and the Radio" is the Real Deal...
Like many songs written in Nashville, "Rodeo and the Radio" was submitted to country artists around town and eventually found it's way to George Strait's producer-who no longer needed more "cowboy songs." As a demo, "Rodeo and the Radio" would later be featured on the CMT hit show, Nashville.
Written by Grammy Award Winning Songwriter, Don Rollins (It's Five O'Clock Somewhere, 2003) and industry pro, Joey Sykes (The Babys, Honey River), the song was offered to Country-Rock recording artist, Nickolas Benson, soon after meeting Joey in Los Angeles.
"After Joey Sykes told me the story of how George Strait could have had the song, I was all-in to cut it... I couldn't let it get away." -Nickolas Benson
