Buddy Logan — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:37:29 +0000

These days Granger Smith's biggest problem is keeping track of himselves. Mine is, I don't know whether to call Granger and Dibbles "him" or "them." But none of that matters, because today his new album "Dirt Road Driveway" debuted at No. 1 on iTunes. Ahead of ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee Blake Shelton, and Country Music powerhouse Eric Church. Tomorrow he (they?) will be bringing the Country Boy Nation full throttle into East Texas.

Granger Smith and I go back a few years, in fact I recall messaging him on Myspace to set up an in-studio visit (is it called messaging on Myspace?)

Granger Smith Reaches Huge Milestone

Leslie Reynolds — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:00:47 +0000

Granger Smith is one of the most popular acts in Texas country today. His shows are electric, his songs are relatable, not to mention he is one of the nicest guys around. But there is one thing he has that no other artist in Texas country, or really any genre, has. That secret weapon goes by the name of Earl Dribbles Jr., and this redneck alter ego just helped Granger hit one of the biggest milestones of his career.

The RTX Sunday Video — Earl Dibbles Jr. 'The Country Boy Song'

Buddy Logan — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:03:47 +0000

If you were to say, "Granger Smith is to YouTube in Texas, what Andy Samberg is to it everywhere else." You wouldn't get much of an argument out of me. Besides writing and singing hit songs, Granger and his band have a reputation for developing characters and funny songs, of which they make videos for -- then upload to YouTube. But Granger's latest "country boy" character is proving to be a game-changer for the guys.
