 Cody Gill’s debut performance took place more than a decade ago. A Stephenville native, Gill spent many of his early years in Houston working an 8 to 5 gig before listening to his heart and moving back home to pursue a life in music. He has since established a reputation for genuine, real life narratives in his lyrics. Two full length albums later and with loyal fans spanning the country, Gill has solidified his place in the Texas country music scene.

Cody Gill has all of his cards on the table with his new EP arriving in early 2011, which features the hit single “Road Signs”. He hopes that this will be his best work yet. “The music business is changing; it has been changing. Fans receive music much differently now than in the past” says Gill. While expanding his musical horizons, Gill is staying true to his roots of passion and integrity and expects that his new work will be well received. “I want my music to reach beyond state lines, but not lose its integrity. I won’t lose where I came from.”

Gill’s new EP will be a follow up to his self-produced sophomore album, King of Your Hometown, released in 2009 in collaboration with Smith Entertainment. The album’s first two singles “King of Your Hometown”, a good hearted, satirical memoir of sorts, and “Crazy”, an upbeat sing-a-long, both reached the “Top 30” on the Texas Music Chart. “Road Signs”, mixed and engineered by Erik Herbst, was the rocking fan favorite. It peaked at #18 on the Texas Music Chart. The album filled the Lonestar Music #2 Best Seller position for two months. The success of King of Your Hometown gave Gill the recognition and honor of receiving a Gruene with Envy ‘New Artist of the Year’ nomination.

In 2007, Gill’s debut album Boxcars, produced by Mike McClure, also churned out a Texas Music Chart hit. “Can’t Let Her Go” spent an astonishing nine months on the Chart, showing that Gill is no stranger to chart topping hits. The powerful vocals of Gill combined with the soaring guitar of lead man Zack Hooper, driving drums of Jarrod Baker, interwoven bass grooves of Zach ‘Cooder’ Wade, and harmonious keys of Kayleigh Jones make for one magnetic stage performance.

 

Gill’s touring radius is expanding as his popularity grows. “Road signs keep flying by” as he hits the pavement over 175 days a year. Recent shows have him breaking out of the borders of the Lonestar State in support of his new EP due out in early 2011. Gill shows no signs of slowing down and says “every road is worth traveling at least once".

I got the CD from a friend in Texas who swears these guys are the real thing, whatever that means. What I got out of it was some good tunes, good hooks, and a good CD--in short, they rock. If they ever get to Nashville, I'll be in the front row!

These guys are some of the greatest guys you could ever meet. They are great musicians and excellent song writers. They deserve to be on the Texas Music Chart and will be. Its kinda funny, these people sit at home and write bad reviews while the Cody Gill Band is selling out venues. I cant wait till the CG80P Tour. Keep on Rockin

I just saw Cody down in New Braunfels this weekend and it was the best live show I've seen in a long time. I don't know how I've never heard of this band before. I can't wait to get the cd, and I hope they do a live one soon.

I did listen you goofball. I do not review anything I have not listened to. My advice is stop worrying about what I think and write better songs.

this "truth" guy is an idiot. If you're gonna say something bad about a band, at least listen to their album and do something other than stick a one-liner up here just to try to get some people's feelings hurt. This band is solid. I think they're better live than on the cd, but they're a pretty young band and I think this CD was recorded a year or so ago, so they've come a long way. Still a great album though!

The Truth
Are you kidding me??? In the immortal words of another reviewer on this site, "In the background on a couple of tracks, I think I can hear the producer laughing." But I'll give them two stars because the guitar player was in the Jazz Ensemble.

I'm critical about my music and let me say this band is out of this world.Our dance class adopted Box Cars to our music collection.Our dance team has shown that these Kentucky girls can move to a Texas charm and won.Can't wait to see what Cody Gill will have next!
