I heard a really great Honky Tonk, walking bass tune with really nice pedal steel this morning. It was by someone named "Jake Hooper". I heard this on XM radio, Willies Place. I googled him but don't find anything. Anyone familiar with him?

| Jake Hooker is one of the best country vocalists and acoustic bass players out there. He started out playing bass and singing in diferent bands in the Austin-San Antonio area. Worked some with Johnny Bush. Has his own group now and is really into honky tonk music. Last time I saw him he had Rick Price on steel. Great performance. Jody. |

| Jake has a huge following. Whenever he's at Pearls,you can't get in the place.Last time I stopped by,they were past the legal limit and would only let you in if someone left and the line was 50 feet long. |

+1 on Jake Hooker - great stuff. If you like good old Texas style honky tonk, he is among a fine stable of young artists who are promoting that genre: Justin Trevino, Bobby Flores, Heather Myles, etc etc. Help me out here folks, I missed a bunch of them.

I'm pretty sure it was actually, "JAKE HOOKER".
Sure sounds like a good discription of his music, and they play him a lot on "Willies Place".
Jake is an outstanding up-right Bass player in his band, "Jake Hooker and the Outsiders.", as well as a widely known session bass player in the Texas area.
Justin Trevino uses him exclusevly in all the Heart Of Texas sessions he produces. Jake travels quite a bit in the Southwest, with a great Fretless band. By that I mean, Fiddle, Steel, Up-right bass, and drums. There's not a fret on stage, and every one of them play in tune!! You may have seen a typo on the spelling of his name, but I'll bet it was Jake HooKer, and not HooPer. Hope this helps shed some light...........OOPS!, Guess my post was unnessessary. I didn't see any other posts when I first pulled up the thread. Sorry. |

| Jake Hooker stopped by the Station Inn in Nashville the Monday before last. Did a couple of tunes and, yes, he played bass while he sang. Brought the house down. |
