Art Greenhaw and The Light Crust Doughboys' album "Southern Country Meets Soul" marks their eighth GRAMMY nomination in the past nine years. Nominated in the Best Southern, Country, or Bluegrass Gospel Album category, "Southern Country Meets Soul" is an acclaimed addition to the Greenhaw’s label and marks the continued creative collaboration with his mentors The Jordanaires and The Ventures lead guitarist Nokie Edwards. Gordon, Edwards, and The Jordanaires also received GRAMMY nominations for their artistic contributions to the album, which was produced by Greenhaw Records.
Larry "T-Byrd" Gordon is well-known for his versatile vocal style, which is influenced by many genres of music. Like Greenhaw, Gordon is a prolific songwriter, arranger, lyricist, composer, recording artist, producer, and engineer. Although Gordon's main instrument is the saxophone, he is a multi-instrumentalist who possesses Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degrees in Music Education.
The Doughboys are the longest-running country band in the world as well as the Official Texas Music Ambassadors, a designation awarded to them by 74th Texas State Legislature. Each band member has been inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, and The Doughboys received Western Swing Heroes status by The Cowtown Society of Western Music and Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
In December 2005, Quitman Heritage Foundation established the Light Crust Doughboys Hall of Fame and Museum in Quitman, Texas. The Museum collection includes a large number of photographs, documents, memorabilia and instruments that tell the amazing story of the Light Crust Doughboys, their impact on the evolution of Western Swing and the evolution of the entertainment industry over the group’s 76-year history.
The Light Crust Doughboys' 2002 Grammy Winner for Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Album, "They Call Him Mr. Gospel: A Tribute To James Blackwood" is also available for listening and purchase on GBN. Along with the music, GBN offers a series of free videos, including "Texas Swing," "Country Swing Meets Black Gospel," and "Art Greenhaw’s International Guitar Celebration," on which Nokie Edwards cuts loose on some sizzling Country Swing.
