Jake's original song You Could've Had Me When I Cared won a Josie Music Award for Best Traditional Country Song of the Year in 2023.
In advance of his new original song scheduled for release April 26, I thought I'd put together a profile of country musician Jake Blocker. The new song and official video, “If I Knew Why She is Gone,” features Clarksville Creative Sound artist, Jadyn Rylee, as a back up singer. She was in Nashville while Jake was recording this song so it was a blessing.
Jake's music influences include Hank Williams Sr, Moe Bandy, Buck Owens, George Jones, Patsy Cline and Dale Watson. He hails more from Stockdale, Texas and is a traditional country music singer / songwriter.
Here are a couple of interviews...
Jake spent some time in Nashville recording new music.
