“This album is all about dreams and change and new beginnings — looking to the future while celebrating what makes country music great. I’m thankful for all of the fans and how they’ve responded to the songs so far. I can’t wait to see where this music takes us all.” says Webb.
Joby Phillips at WCEN-FM in Saginaw, Mich. said “each song we get from James Robert Webb is better than the song before. ‘April May’ is certainly his best single yet. It sounds great on the air!”

“There is something about [James Robert Webb’s] music, his lyrics that captivated my mother’s heart. Reading more about Webb, couldn’t help but know he writes what he lives. Radiologist. Husband. Father of three. Family values.” – Donna Black, Medium
“The self-titled release features 13 tracks showcasing his warm baritone and classic country style through upbeat songs and moving ballads. Tracks like ‘Now We’re Gettin’ Somewhere’ and ‘I Was The One’ will provide fans their fix of country nostalgia while Webb follows in the path of the storytellers before him with ‘Okfuskee Whiskey,’ and ‘Somethin’ Out of Nothin.’” – The Country Note
“A modern honky tonker that avoids all the bro country clichés and lets the party proceed. Nothing but a good time party on a platter, he knows the moves and serves them up just right. With the properly righteous vibe powering the proceedings, Webb has some winning ways already on display and this set is sure to serve up a bunch more. Well done.” – Midwest Record
