 are the deeply rooted words that Josh Ward lives by to an absolute fault.
 \n\nAn anchored mindset that has led this Texas country music rising star 
 from a drifter’s adolescence to the jeopardous game of the rodeo circuit t
 o the punishing toil of the Texas oil fields\, and on into the fickle arms
  of the music business. Some might argue whether it is having nine consecu
 tive #1 hit singles in Texas under his belt that has garnered him staying 
 power\, or that he is killing it in the social media world with over 2 mil
 lion views on YouTube and over 6 million streams globally on Spotify. Mayb
 e it’s his 3 venerated album releases\, or maybe because he can not only b
 at a full house on a 200 plus dates a year touring average\, but also rope
  in crowds on a first time performance in an unfamiliar town. While impres
 sive\, all those distinctions can come and go in the world of music. The r
 eason for his staying power turns out to be quite a simple one. And that i
 s because Josh Ward is country music blood to bone\, and both Josh Ward an
 d country music are simply not going to go away.\n\nJosh spent 2017 heavil
 y touring off the strength of his previous album “Holding Me Together.” Al
 l six radio singles hit the #1 spot on the Texas Regional Radio Chart and 
 Ward quickly found himself going from opening act to the headlining spot i
 n a matter of months. But in the midst of his growing popularity\, he glad
 ly bent the knee to fellow country music artist and comrade Cody Johnson w
 ho introduced Ward to his West Coast audiences. Getting the chance to be e
 ndorsed by Cody Johnson and perform at sold out shows in brand new markets
  is the kind of opportunity music artists chomp at the bit to have. When W
 ard and his band returned to those areas a few months later all by their l
 onesome\, he simply could not have guessed at the reception he would encou
 nter. “When we went back to the West Coast by ourselves\, it was sold out 
 shows. I was literally blown away.” It was at that very point while far aw
 ay from his familiar stomping grounds in Texas with new fans slapping him 
 on the back that Ward knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that his music was c
 atching on in a big way.\n\nThe culmination of his radio success and his v
 ictories out on the road can easily be attributed to the actual man behind
  the music. In life\, sometimes a person gets dealt a lean hand and has to
  choose his family from strangers along the way\, people who make a consci
 ous choice to take you under their wing and help guide you through life. W
 ard considers himself a very lucky man despite some rough teenage years. T
 he love and support of his extended family and his chosen family was the c
 oncrete foundation he built his life on\, and his fans are a big part of t
 hat. It’s why they are drawn to him through the speakers\, because he is w
 hat he sings. It’s why they are drawn to him from the stage\, because he’s
  an old friend who’s come back to visit. He’s the animated truth of all he
  stands for\, a self-made family man who always has a welcome smile and an
  open spot in the family. To his loyal fans he feels he owes everything. “
 Words can’t describe the emotion that gets put into these runs and the wor
 k that we do. And these people pay their hard earned money to see it every
  night. Thank you. Every time I step on stage\, you guys remind me that I 
 have more than I deserve.” And so his brand new album\, so aptly named\, i
 s Ward’s dedication to his growing family.\n\n“More Than I Deserve” marks 
 Ward’s fourth full length album release and it will greet the fans on May 
 4\, 2018. With the philosophy of “don’t fix what isn’t broken\,” Ward went
  right back into the Rosewood studios where he recorded all his previous r
 eleases and joined producer Greg Hunt once again behind the board to creat
 e the next dimension of Josh Ward country music. The new album is 11 track
 s strong featuring the signature instrumentation from guys like John Carro
 ll (Cory Morrow) on guitar\, Nate Coon (Aaron Watson) on drums\, Milo Deer
 ing (The Eagles) on acoustic guitar\, steel\, dobro\, fiddle\, viola and m
 andolin\, and Terry McBride (McBride and The Ride) on backing vocals and a
 lso writer of three of the tracks. The album is classic Josh Ward style on
  every front with just a little more gusto and a little more miles on it. 
 Full bodied and emotionally fragrant\, every song jumps out kicking up the
  kind of country music nostalgia Ward is revered for. The first single “Al
 l About Lovin’” (written by Brice Long\, Terry McBride and Chris Stapleton
 ) tells you everything you need to know about this album\, a sexy tonkafie
 d driver of a song that guarantees you’ll be lacing up your dancing shoes 
 by the time you hit the chorus. “Home Away From Home” is country piled on 
 top of more country\, and is\, as the song says\, “a two steppin’ juke box
  heaven.” While Ward has never been afraid to sing other people’s songs du
 e to his belief that a good song simply needs to be heard\, his own savvy 
 for the art just so happens to be represented on three of the most powerfu
 l tracks. “A Cowboy Can” is the true grit of this album and is what Ward s
 ays best describes himself. “One More Shot Of Whiskey” is a sobering tale 
 told with 90 proof conviction\, and then there is “More Than I Deserved” r
 inging out with its vulnerable steel and head hanging resolve. “More Than 
 I Deserve” is country music addiction in its purest form. Josh Ward did no
 t reinvent the wheel here\, but damn\, it’s polished surface sure rides sm
 ooth.\n\nJosh and his band will be seeing a lot more of the country this y
 ear hitting a lot of new places on his never ending tour. It’s still hard 
 for him to believe he has come this far and he doesn’t take one mile of it
  for granted. “I never thought I would be rolling down the road with one o
 f the hottest bands in Texas playing shows across the United States. I’m h
 appy to be here.”\n
