The Jeff Maddox Interview

Jeff is a Mississippi country artist whose true love is songwriting. His influences include John Prine, Jimmy Buffet, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash - to name a few. Jeff's abilities caught the ear of Jeffrey Collins of Echo-Vista Records, who was contemplating entering into the country music genre. Collins arranged for Jeff to record a 16 track cd of originals with legendary bassist/producer Gary "Brotherman" Branchaud. Branchaud, along with other top-flight Nasville musicians- including Johnny Neel of The Allman Brothers - collaborated to produce "That's What Love Does" - to be released September 2, 2008 on Echo-Fuego Records.
