About the Artist
Chad Brown,Jr. resides in Dallas, Texas. He and his band are in much demand for special entertaiment affairs and dances throughout the metroplex and north Texas, and record labels eagerly seek out his services for recording sessions. The "Ballad of Haney Liddell" fits nicely in the groove of Americana songs which he likes and so professionally renders. BIG L Records feels especially fortunate in having him produce this CD for release in conjunction with the publishing of the book, BAH,BAH,BLACK SHEEP. Do not overlook the second song on this CD, "Lost In The Shuffle". Chad's parody of the very popular game, poker, will leave you laughing out loud!

"Blacksheep" Ballad.......2004-10-25

This ballad tells the actual life of 1920's outlaw Haney Liddell. In fact, it is a musical narration or "soundtrack" that accompanies the book Bah, Bah, Blacksheep. It is reminiscent of the type of story-in-song that Johnny Cash might have embraced. The singer/songwriter displays a hefty dose of the talent and commercial appeal inherent in modern Texas musicians. His clever lyrics and expressive voice capture the essence of Liddell's fall from grace. The book and CD perfectly complement each other.
