Tulsa Red Dirt Artist’s Latest Single Strikes A Chord With Radio And Fans Alike

“Jake Flint’s new gem is called ‘Long Road Back Home.’ The song grooves from start to finish as the lyrics lead us on a journey back home. Jake and Mike McClure produced this one together and the pair did a great job on creating a driving feel to a song about traveling. Jake told me one night that he just cannot write fiction. That will explain why when you hear Jake talking about getting back home and the excitement about getting there, it’s real. Jake Flint is the real deal and this song is just a part of his journey that I feel will be long and fun. We welcome home Jake Flint. Hallelujah it’s about time!” – Carey Dean, 106.9 The Ranch/Corsicana, TX

NASHVILLE, TN (AUGUST 23, 2018) – Jake Flint is riding in style as his sophomore single “Long Road Back Home” drives its way into the hearts of radio programmers and fans alike. The lively up tempo, co-produced by Flint and Red Dirt hit-maker Mike McClure perfectly captures the excitement of returning to beloved family and friends, and the emotional anticipation of going back to your roots.

Tulsa-based singer-songwriter Jake Flint has been steadily paying his dues for the past few years on the live performance circuit in the Red Dirt music scene of Oklahoma. Following the release of his debut single “Cowtown” in late-2017, his career took a sharp upward swing as his easy going style, quick wit and exceptional performance talents gained him a growing legion of supporters at radio and with its listeners.

With a recent well-received opening slot for a sold-out show by Texas music star Randy Rogers at the legendary Cain’s Ballroom in his own hometown, Flint is beginning to experience a taste of the “next phase” of his career as a concert artist. And based on what the media is saying, Flint’s goals are within striking distance. Melissa Payne of Splice Magazine stated in her show review from the Cain’s concert: “With his stage presence and professional yet approachable demeanor, it’s obvious Flint has the makings of a headliner and won’t be opening shows for long.”

“I am super excited about how ‘Long Road Back Home’ is being received by radio and my fans, and for the reactions to my performances. The support is very humbling,” states Flint.

“Humble” and “real” are traits that are endearing him to everyone who meets him or interacts with him. And while he is busy visiting radio stations across the region in support of the single and playing shows on the weekends, Flint never forgets where he came from and always looks forward to that “long road back home.”

NASHVILLE, TN (July 24, 2018) — Oklahoma Red Dirt artist Jake Flint has released his sophomore single “Long Road Back Home,” the highly anticipated follow-up to his successful debut release, “Cowtown,” which was well-received by radio and fans alike.

“Long Road Back Home,” co-produced by Flint with Red Dirt hit-maker Mike McClure is a lively up tempo song about the excitement of returning to beloved family and friends, and vividly captures the emotional anticipation of going back to your roots.

Tulsa-based singer-songwriter Jake Flint is deeply entrenched in the Red Dirt music scene. Following the release of “Cowtown” in late-2017, Flint’s career took a sharp upward swing as his easy going style, quick wit and exceptional performance talents were embraced by the Texas/Red Dirt community of radio programmers and earned him a coveted slot as a featured performer at the recent TRRMA ‘Future Faces Show.’ The recognition and support of radio in building his awareness has given Flint the opportunity to greatly expand his touring base to reach a growing legion of fans.

“I am super excited about and very proud of “Long Road Back Home,” Flint states “It is a veritable testimony of the bittersweet conflict of feelings I personally get when leaving the gratifying hard work we put in on the road meeting people and performing and returning to my family and friends, home cookin’ and soft bed that I miss so dearly while away. I can imagine that many different types of people could relate to this feeling. From coming home from a semester away at college, a soldier from a tour of duty, or just someone who lives far away from their childhood home. It’s that feeling you get when you can see the finish line and you just know a big hug from mom and dad, a hot, home cooked meal and an impatient dog at the end of the driveway is eagerly awaiting your arrival.”

As I began to listen to the album called “I’m not ok” by the musician named Jake Flint, he’s got a unique sound all his own and his rough scratchy vocals adds to the sound that I really like in music artists. Starting off this superb album, is a song called “Allyn From Allen” Jake brings in a unique style that I can’t place, Jake has a sound that is all his own, and can’t be compared  to anyone as of my most recent memory, and this song Jake brings in his superior talents and kind of resembles an early bob Dylanish at times but Jake has a complexity to his style of guitar and is fresh and likable. “Cowtown” the guitar of Jake has a really great rhythm and the strumming makes it sound really great added to this the mandolin brings in flavorful approach and has an almost rock guitar sound inner mixed with his sound. “Drownin” is a harmonica based song that Jake and company bring to the music table and Jakes style has a modern pop slash country flavor mixed together and get a sound that is really enjoyable. “Hurry Up & Wait” Jake really drags in the element of rock and roll he has a country flare in his vocals at times, it is evident on this song, but sometimes it’s tucked into the mix which keeps the rock part of his music alive.

”
“First impression” the next track on this amazing album by Jake Flint, has an element of blues with his ability to turn on the chords of a true blues guy. As I read more about Jake Flint I he writes his own music, which in my opinion is a good thing, there are some actual singer songwriters out there, but it’s becoming a rare commodity. The next song called “I wonder why I wander” shares that blues riffs in the song and with the assistance of an organ in the song adds a element of mystique and I really really like this song, and it showcases Jakes guitar work. As the album rolls on the next song came on called “Let it Be” where out of no where blam! came the guitar work and Jakes band added a full punch to the song and was brought to life with this song. As I listened more intently, after the 3rd or 4th spin of the album, Jake has that Bob Dylan style of vocals, but electrified.

“whole Kind of blue” Jake brings in his heavy blues influences and he has the ever present throughout the album, and I being a blues guy myself, Jake really knows his way around the electric and acoustic guitar. “the Fly Song’ Jake has the hillbilly approach and his strumming is catchy and the lyrics are have a little flavor to them but once again Jake has his style all his own, and that is a good thing. “Why God” Jake has a harmony on this that is really smooth and shows a different style of the album, and I almost thought I was listening to a different album. Jake flint really has a tremendous feel for a style that I really can’t place or put my finger on, however it’s really enjoyable. “Cold Cold World” has the full flavor of a good old country song and slows the tempo a bit but Jakes ability to make it sound good is evident and has a voice from the past and really has a nostalgic feel to his entire music in this album. I want to take the time to thank Debbie Miller and Brenda Cline and also Jake himself for allowing me to hear his awesome and very expressive music. Looking forward to hearing more from Jake and his future of music.

NASHVILLE, TN (October 10, 2017) – Oklahoma Red Dirt artist, Jake Flint, is pleased to announce the release of his debut single, “Cowtown” to TX/Red Dirt radio. “Cowtown” was written by Flint and co-produced by Flint and renowned Oklahoma artist/producer, Mike McClure. Fans can purchase the single at iTunes.

Flint, the son of a wildcat oilfield man and a hardworking mother of two, originally hails from Holdenville and is now based in Tulsa. As a youngster, Flint was exposed to many diverse musical genres by his family. His older sister’s tastes included 90’s grunge artists such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Foo Fighters, while his father’s music collection was everything from John Denver to Dire Straits and Texas singer/songwriters Guy Clark, Townes Van Zant, and Steve Earle. Later on, as Flint came into his own as a performer and songwriter, all of these diverse artists and styles had a big impact on his musical identity.

When Flint’s father was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease and was unable to interact with his son physically, he hired a few friends to teach the young man to play guitar. Soon after, Flint began writing his own music, tapping into his influences from the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt music scene including singer/songwriters’ Bob Childers, Tom Skinner, Jason Boland, Cody Canada, Mike McClure, and Chris Knight among countless others. Flint writes from a place of complete transparency about his personal life experiences – from heart break, to overindulgence, to breaking the law – his lyrics are as honest and exposing as it gets.

Jake’s first album, entitled, I’m Not OK, was produced by McClure at Boohatch Studio in Ada, Oklahoma. The influences of the Great Divide and Cross Canadian Ragweed are prevalent, just as Flint intended. Flint maintains a schedule of performances in and around Oklahoma, Texas, and surrounding states. Whether he performs acoustically or with a band you can always count on a Jake Flint show to be a high-octane fuel-driven performance.

Working under the guidance of new management, publicity and radio promotion teams, Flint is poised to take the next step on his musical journey and is excited about everything that lies ahead.
