Ledbetter is a working man; a skilled steam turbine engineer of 42 years
                    who chooses his words carefully before speaking or singing. A Louisiana
                    native  and  a  lifelong  student  of  real  country  music,  Dennis  Ledbetter
                    brings a fresh, but achingly familiar voice to the stage and radio airways.
                    His classic instrumental arrangements and vocal style harken back to the
                    days when you knew exactly who was singing.

                    Independent radio has also picked up on Dennis' music. His debut album,
                    "If You Drive Me to Drinking (I’ll Buy the Gas)," generated five #1 singles
                    on the New Music Weekly Charts. His sophomore CD, "My Life Is a Country
                    Song,” garnered three #1 singles on the same charts. The EP "It Might Be
                    the Whiskey" produced another # 1 single. Dennis’ songs continue to spin
                    their way around the air waves and up the charts and Dennis attributes
                    these accomplishments 100% to the support of DJs and fans alike. He was
                    also awarded the Pure Country Song of the Year for 2017 by the Academy
                    of Western Artists for “Tell Me I’m Wrong.”

                    Dennis has such a powerful and unique delivery with the songs on this
                    album. You can just hear the raw emotion that he projects in every line. So
                    many artists today are what I call “the cookie cutter formula” as they lack
                    substance  and  staying power.  After  listening  to  "Opposite  Walls,”  I am
                    sure you'll agree that Dennis has firmly secured his place in the legacy of
                    traditional country music.

                    My favorite picks from this album include: "The Greatest Country Singer,"
                    which is a stellar tribute to George Jones, "Too Far From Home," a song
                    about the temptations of being on the road, and "Rock Bottom," -- a great
                    swing tune and classic drinkin' song.

                    "Opposite  Walls"  is  available  in  all  digital  formats  including  CD  Baby,
                    Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play.
