NASHVILLE, Tenn. – James Robert Webb, drawing inspiration from country icon Randy Travis, adds his western swing touch to the groundbreaking hit “On The Other Hand.” This timeless tune recalls a golden age of country music and Travis’ recording remains an enduring classic. Yet Webb’s new version manages to break new ground with a refreshing spin by way of his unique flair and traditionalist production. His smooth vocals, alongside a danceable beat and piano, bring a fresh take on this phenomenal classic. Listen to the new recording cover here.
“Cheating songs have been a staple of country music forever. Temptation and infidelity are common issues that affect real people and in country music, we tackle those subjects with great emotional honesty. I love ‘On The Other Hand’ because it’s a unique story where we see a man standing at the crossroads as he is deciding between staying faithful or giving into temptation,” says James Robert Webb.
This cover comes after Webb released “A Horse Named Freedom” last month, as well as his radio single “Okfuskee Whiskey,” which totals over 250,000 streams and is growing on all music platforms. After the release of “Okfuskee Whiskey,” it came in as the No. 1 most added single to radio in the first week of its release, just became his eighth Music Row Top 40 hit and currently sits at No. 51 on the Billboard Country Indicator Chart. Webb has strong momentum with his recent music that will only get stronger with his new cover of “On The Other Hand.”
