Jackson Rathbone

This is how I write .. can’t wait for yall to hear !!! I’m so proud of this new one, yall.

My last album, American Spirit Blues, was recorded in Austin TX with the wonderful .jones.music
We created an expansive, Americana sound, inspired heavily by Paul Simon. I played a little bit o’ everything here .. guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and even the accordion.

For - I sought out because I wanted a completely different sound.

I’ve been writing (and rewriting) this album for the past six years .. during that time, I got sober. A lot of my personal struggles are detailed in the new record. I’m very open and honest, and self-deprecating .. but I’m proud of this effort.

In my old song, “Young and Tragic” .. I sing “I don’t wanna be an alcoholic, young and tragic” .. but I was back then. I really just didn’t want to admit it.

Now, I am an alcoholic AND I’m sober.
I’m proud of my accomplishments.
I’m learning to love myself.

Thanks for the love and support over the years.
Truly.
Your love and support has helped make me want to become a better man and artist.
I cannot wait for yall to hear this new album..
it’s the most sincerely honest “me” piece of art I’ve ever done. Blood, sweat, and tears went into it. No lie.

God Bless you all !!! And thanks again, always.

Burgering in ! Today we vibe out the breakfast burger over at

This 🍔 is a double pork and bacon smashed patty, American cheese, onions, mayo sauce, and an over-easy egg.
Definitely a breakfast vibe.

First off .. I’m not a big mayonnaise fan .. so .. maybe I should’ve asked for light mayo, but I always order the burger the way it comes. Suffice to say .. it was too much mayo for me. When you combine that much mayo with that much pork AND an over-easy egg .. it creates a rather homogeneous umami .. not bad, but it felt “unclear” it terms of flavor. I was hoping for more char on the meat, or crunch from the onions, but it was all rather .. same-same. I dunno.

It’s also really heavy feeling .. gives that “itis” hard.

Was it a winner? Not for me .. but neither is it a “loser”.
This is a decent cafe burger, but nothing to really “seek out” in terms of the incredible burger scene here in Austin.

In Proud Mary’s favor, the inside and outside vibes of the joint are awesome. Great servers, team. And the coffee is great!

Go for the coffee .. but maybe skip the burger, unless you freaking love pork and mayo.
