Clay Farmer has recorded two shows at Houston's Armadillo Palace for an upcoming live album release.

"First of all I'd like to thank everybody for coming out to see the shows we played last weekend and making them a memorable experience.

Obviously I would also like to thank Jim Beam for their support and the Good(e) people at the Armadillo Palace for allowing us to invade their space over the weekend. A big thank you also to live sound engineer Andy Bradley and his crew without whom we would've not been able to make this project happen." says Farmer.

"Last but not least I can't forget the band - it is a real pleasure sharing the stage and my songs with all of them: Brian Thomas, Randy Wall, Joe DeLeon and Robert DiBlanco. Boys, I can't wait to do it again ....."

The as of now unnamed live album is scheduled to be released later this year through Hobo Soul Records and will be available at live shows as well as right here on Clay Farmer's official website, so stay tuned .....

Clay Farmer launched his new CF-Jukebox service today. This new addition was implemented by Sounds Of Texas and features all of Clay Farmer's currently released song material.

All songs can be accessed with any player software that can read MP3 playlist files (i.e. Apple® iTunes or WinAmp). Users can setup their own playlists and download them into their systems.

The new CF-Jukebox service is available FREE to every registered user at ClayFarmer.com - just one more reason to register today.

Clay Farmer is preparing to record his March 3rd, 2006 show at Houston's Armadillo Palace for an upcoming live album. Farmer has secured the help of multi-instrumentalist Brian Thomas, keyboardist Randy Wall, drummer Joe DeLeon and his longtime bassist Robert DiBlanco for this project. A couple of suprise guests may be included in the show as well.

The remote recording will be engineered by none other than Andy Bradley (Chief Engineer at Sugar Hill Recording Studios).

Come on out to support Clay and his band - you never know, you may end up on the record .....
