“This was already a special song to me when we recorded it, even more so for everyone who has lost a loved one during the pandemic. While I’m sad that my mother can’t physically be here to see this, I believe she’s watching–and truthfully, she’s probably pulling some strings for me up there. It is an overwhelming and amazing feeling to have my first number one on a major chart and to see these visions come true. I’m sending all my love and gratitude to Texas radio. Thank you to each and every one of you for supporting this song, my music and for helping us steal home with #1!” says James Robert Webb.
This No. 1 is coming right off the heels of James being awarded MusicRow’s Independent Artist of the Year in February. Webb received the most spins on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart as an indie artist in 2021 with his three original singles “Okfuskee Whiskey,” “Stealing Home” and “Good Time Waitin’ To Happen.” In addition to the three charting singles, James has received 2.75+ million streams across platforms on his self-titled album.
