Get ready to tap your toes and clap your hands because Ellis Bullard, the distinguished Honky Tonk artist hailing from Austin, Texas, is about to release a highly anticipated new single on October 6th, 2023. Titled “Honky Tonk Ain’t Noise Pollution,” this track is a captivating precursor to Bullard’s upcoming album set to debut on February 9th, 2024, under the Feels So Good Records label.
Ellis Bullard comes from a rich family legacy in music, and his talent shines through in every note of his upcoming single. His musical journey began in Austin, Texas, one of the most vibrant music hubs in the world. Through years of hard work and dedication, Bullard and his band have opened for well-known Texas County and Americana artists such as Randy Rogers, Reckless Kelly, and Cody Johnson. Their debut album, “Piss-Hot Freightlining Country Music,” was met with critical acclaim and even caught the attention of the legendary Joe Rogan, who praised Bullard’s dynamic performances at Austin’s famous White Horse venue.
The inspiration for “Honky Tonk Ain’t Noise Pollution” came to Bullard during a snowy retreat to Steamboat, Colorado back in 2019. While taking in the serene beauty of Vallecito, he stumbled upon a sign with the phrase, “Lake Vallecito, Not a place, but a state of mind.” This chance encounter, combined with a moment of introspection and a touch of inspiration, sparked the creation of the song.
The title of the track, “HONKY TONK AIN’T NOISE POLLUTION,” is a clever adaptation of AC/DC’s iconic “Rock ‘n’ Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution.” Bullard’s version, filled with humor and conviction, encapsulates the heart and soul of Honky Tonk music.
With a family heritage deeply rooted in the music industry, Ellis Bullard’s musical journey is one of a kind. His mother made her mark as a well-known performer at the renowned Muscle Shoals studios in the ’60s and ’70s, while his great-grandfather was a renowned guitarist associated with Chet Atkins. Bullard’s success in the music industry is a testament to his collaborative effort with a talented group of Austin musicians, who have helped him create a unique and captivating sound.
Drawing inspiration from legendary artists such as Merle Haggard and Jerry Reed, Bullard’s music also reflects the spirit of Mo Bandy and Joe Stampley’s collaborations. This fusion of classic and outlaw country influences results in a harmonious sound that sets Bullard apart from other artists in the genre. “Piss-Hot Freightlining Country Music” was just a taste of what Ellis Bullard has to offer, and his upcoming album promises to captivate audiences for years to come.
