News

11/3/2024 - More Dangleleros Coming...

I convinced Dale that he needed to release the other tunes that the Dangleleros recorded. Terry Funk Railroad are currently playing 2 songs that were never released. Everything has been submitted now; so look for the second EP on Nov. 15...

9/30/2024 - Hurricane Helene

My heart goes out to those impacted by hurricane Helene. I grew up in rural NC, and the devastation there is just heartbreaking. Many friends and family in Helene's path from Florida, through Georgia, up to North Carolina were impacted. So sad... Please help however you can. I know there are numerous ways to contribute, including the official NC disaster relief site.

9/5/2024 - New Crawdad Crash Music Coming...

Crawdad Crash announced a new EP is coming sometime this fall. It will be centered around the Hodads song "Rock 'N' Roll Girls", written by Steve Hensley. Stay tuned!

8/1/2024 - Crawdad Crash (Plus Hodads & Fontanels) On AllMusic

Crawdad Crash is now listed on AllMusic, and so are the Hodads and Fontanels. Submitting artist and album information to AllMusic via Xperi is sort of a "hit or miss" process with no feedback, but I must have finally done it correctly!

7/19/2024 - Terry Funk Railroad @ Vinyl - 500 Songs For Kids 2024: '90s Edition

Terry Funk Railroad is returning to Vinyl (at Center Stage in Atlanta) to play at the 500 Songs For Kids 2024. This is for a great cause and is lots of fun, with each band getting up to play one song. Last year, we enjoyed playing a cover the Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today" for the '60s Edition. The event runs over two weekends — '80s Edition on July 12 and 13 at the Earl, and then the '90s Edition on July 19 and 20 at Vinyl. TFR is scheduled to play between 10:00 and 11:00 on Friday, July 19. We hope you will get out and support the cause — or watch the livestream and hopefully contribute what you can.

6/2/2024 - Now On Bandcamp!

Crawdad Crash is now on Bandcamp. You can preview songs, see lyrics and release notes, and purchase all albums and songs in a variety of formats (MP3, FLAC, etc.). When available, I will also list CDs and other physical merch there. Below is the Bandcamp logo that I will incorporate here on the site.

6/1/2024 - Heat Waves Review

Heat Waves just posted a nice review of the latest Crawdad Crash album, Reign Of The Crawdad. Here's the direct link to the review — check it out...

5/27/2024 - Lyrics Available

I've uploaded lyrics to Musixmatch for all the Crawdad Crash songs released so far. Many streaming apps (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.) will display the lyrics when you play a song, and at least the last two albums are already being displayed. It usually takes a couple of days to show up on various platforms. Lyrics work slightly differently on different apps. Below are a couple of screenshots of lyrics on Spotify; you have to scroll down in the app. Now you can sing along!

Top Songs

Below are the most played Crawdad Crash songs on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music; updated 11/4/2024. It's interesting to see how some songs are played more on certain platforms and to compare against data I've gathered across multiple platforms.

Amazon Music

Multiple Platforms

I've aggregated data from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other streaming services to see the top 10 most played Crawdad Crash songs of all time across multiple platforms. (I don't have data from all of them.) The #1 song is still my second single, the glam tailgate anthem "Kick Your Ass", which recently surpassed my first single, the Christmas rocker "Old Red Jeep, New White Snow".
