A tale about a career minor leaguer looking to make it in The Show. From my 2012 album "Unbreakable Heart."

Unbreakable Heart

One More Thrill

An old school ballad of loneliness, with a background chorus a la the Jordinaires.

Since You've Gone

An old school country dance number with touches of Ray Price shuffle, Bakersfield country, and a little dab of Elvis.

On Second Thought

Too Much Love

A quiet guitar-driven tune about trying to find peace, inside and out.

Copyright 2022 by Bob Cannon, Halle Ruth Music (BMI)

Let It Go

A loud commentary on the country's state of mind

The World's Oldest Angry Young Man

“Writers always say ‘everything is material,’” says Rivanna Records singer-songwriter Bob Cannon. “So it seems to me that the best way to get your songwriting in gear is to just get out and do some living.”   And so he has. Raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Wilmington, Delaware, Cannon has played from Maine to Florida with a stint in Nashville. He’s also raised a family and pursued his career writing about music for magazines like Entertainment Weekly and Performing Songwriter. Now the New Jersey-based Cannon steps away from the computer keyboard to release his debut album, Unbreakable Heart. The 14 songs here add up to an incisive, witty collection about love, dreams, expectations, the working life—and the Three Stooges—that brings together eclectic Americana styles and the wry pop wit of Randy Newman.

He Doesn't Care

A longtime singer-songwriter, I have traveled the country from Nashville to Maine, and am now plying my trade in North Jersey and the NYC area. My new album, On Second Thought, is available on Rivanna Records through Amazon.com. My upcoming album will be called Left-Handed Salute, which will be out late spring 2022.
