Barefoot and Crazy

Jack Ingram was born on November 15 in the year of 1970. While studying psychology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Ingram first played seriously. He toured around the bars and road houses of Texas with his Beat Up ford band and landed a regular. This regular was a Tuesday night gig at the honky-tonk club Adair’s. Ingram’s second album was recorded live at the club. Universal Records’ Rising Tide imprint gave Ingram a recording contract and he started working with Steve Earle on his debut for the label. This album was entitle “Livin’ or Dyin’” and was released in 1997, it also featured co-writing credits from Jim Lauderdale and Todd Snider. After this Ingram relocated to Sony’s Lucky Dog imprint for his 1999 album “Hey You” Ingram has a few videos he has created. There is “Barbie Doll,” “Love You,” “That’s a Man,” “seeing Stars,” “Barefoot and Crazy,” and “Maybe She’ll Get Lonely.” Ingram has also been in other artist’s videos such as “Gunpowder & Lead” by Miranda Lambert. Back in the year 1995 Ingram came out with three different albums they were “Jack Ingram,” “Live at Adair’s,” and “Lonesome Question.” In 1997 he released two albums entitled “Flutter” and “Livin’ or Dyin.’” Two years later he released “Hey You.” It took Ingram three years after that to come up with his album “Electric.” In 2003 “Live at Billy Bob’s Texas” was released and in 2004 he released two albums “Young Man” and “Live at Gruene Hall: Happy Happy.” 2005 brought us the album “Acoustic Motel;” and 2007 brought us the two wonderful albums “Maybe She’ll Get Lonely” and “This Is It.” Ingram did not release anything from then on until this year.
