The Professor is Back

Joshua Hedley, born and raised in Naples, Florida, is a country music singer-songwriter, fiddler and guitarist. He's also a singing professor of country & western, as he explains on his raucous and witty new album, Neon Blue.

And indeed, there is some truth to it: Hedley has devoted his entire life to the study of this genre. Ask him about it, and he explains, "When all my friends went to college, I went to Nashville. I was 19 years old, playing in honkytonks and getting an education."

His debut, Mr. Jukebox, released in 2018 on Third Man Records, the lair of White Stripes boss Jack White, shows a vast knowledge of country history, particularly the beery ballads of the 1950s and '60s. His idols were George Jones, Ray Price and Glen Campbell, but his most notable achievement was putting his own stamp on their style.

Neon Blue picks up four years later, but is dedicated to a different era: the last bastion of country music was the early 1990s, roughly between 1989 and 1996. You could turn on the radio and immediately know you were listening to a country song. You could still hear steel guitar and fiddle. But around 1996/97, there was a hard fork in the road when country drifted into pop. Neon Blue asks, What if that fork had never happened? What if country continued to sound like country?" the professor says. It would probably sound like the title track, which was released as a single back in February.

Neon Blue was recorded by Justin Francis at Ronnie's Place in Nashville. Production was handled by Jordan Lehning and Skylar Wilson, mixing was done by Kyle Lehning at The Compound, Nashville, and mastering was done by Casey Wood.

Joshua Hedley

An accomplished fiddle player, Hedley felt inexplicably drawn toward the instrument as a child. He got his hands on his own fiddle at age 8, and by 12, he was playing with middle-aged pickers at the VFW. At 19, he moved from his native Florida to Nashville, where he became an in-demand sideman at Robert’s Western World and other bars, and ultimately, a well-respected frontman. Armed with an easy croon and prodigious fiddle playing, he became known as the Mayor of Lower Broad. He hit the road to perform with artists including Jonny Fritz, Justin Townes Earle, and more, while the 2015 documentary Heartworn Highways Revisited featured Hedley prominently.

Hedley didn’t start writing his own songs until he was about 28 years-old. So on the backend of his 20s, he finally started writing, eventually unlocking a flood of clarity and creativity. The heartbreaking, distilled, defiantly classic country that poured out of him became Mr. Jukebox, a salve and beacon for 60s honky-tonk devotees everywhere.
