The story behind the new Jesus & Hank song:

A few years back during a rehearsal break, my lead guitarist at the time mentioned he had an idea for a song.  He said "In the house where I grew up, over the couch in the living room there was a velvet picture of Jesus on one side and a velvet picture of Hank Williams on the other. In between was a deer head and a couple of fish. I always felt that I grew up somewhere between Jesus and Hank. I always thought that would be a good song title, but I'm not a songwriter so why don't y'all write it".

The next weekend, before I could write a word, Mike Robertson, who wrote "Merle Haggard, Jack Daniels and Me" on my previous album....and his daughter Tia had completed the song. A couple of weeks later in the studio, Mike R. played it on an acoustic guitar for my producer David Leonard. Keep in mind that David has a keen ear and is not easy to impress. He sat there with his back to us at the console while Mike played the song. David turned around and had a tear in his eye. He looked at me and said "You've GOT to record this song"

During the recording sessions, we brought in the incredible talents of Tommy Dodd on pedal steel, Marla Feeney on fiddle and Oak Ridge Boys drummer David Northrup. David Leonard layed down bass and piano tracks with a special emphasis on Floyd Cramer-type piano licks in certain parts of the song.

......so, that's how it came to be

King of Fools from the new album "Time Rolls On" (2025). Written by Eddy Shaver and Tony George Colton. Produced by J. David Leonard.

Mike McCarroll - King of Fools

"Most of All" from the Time Rolls On album.

During the recording of Time Rolls On, I was fascinated by songs written by Buddy Buie. Buddy wrote and co-wrote many songs for the Classics IV and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. “Most of All” written by Buddy Buie and J.R. Cobb was a huge hit for B.J. Thomas. J. R. Cobb was a member of Classics IV and later member of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. 

I recorded a cover of the Classics IV hit “Stormy” for this album with Steve Stone (Atlanta Rhythm Section lead guitarist) and Wendell Cox (Travis Tritt lead guitarist) moving it a little more towards an ARS style. That went so well, I decided to do the same with “Most of All”.

Story behind the song by Mike McCarroll:

Perry Ray Boyce was a lead guitarist in my band for a couple of years. He was a fabulous player and had toured with Steppenwolf in his earlier years. Perry had survived surgery for brain cancer when we met. He asked me to co-write a song with him, that we titled "Mysterious" and had it about half complete. He had a relapse of the cancer and passed away suddenly. The song sat on my computer for a couple of years before I decided to complete it and record it in his honor. Perry was going for an early Atlanta Rhythm Section sound on this song. I was able to get Steve Stone ARS lead guitarist and Wendell Cox, Travis Tritt lead guitarist to play on this tune and help craft it into that style. Rest in peace brother, this one's for you!
