His no-holds-barred attitude has been captured in his new release This Life Ain’t For Everybody – 12 songs that tell the good, the bad and the ugly of life as he sees it and as he’s experienced it. A dozen gems he wrote or co-wrote, which were born out of a path he took literally by accident. After constant touring, Eric Lee Beddingfield has carved out a name for himself throughout the Southeast as an artist who can flat out “ROCK” a country song. “ELB”, as he is affectionately known, has become one of the best kept secrets in the world of country music. He’s played thousands of concerts with the biggest names on the biggest stages. He has sold tens of thousands of albums comprised of his original music, writing and recording with legendary superstars such as Dolly Parton and George Jones to Southern rock guitar gods Warren Haynes (Allman Bros., Gov’t Mule) and Rickey Medlocke (Lynyrd Skynyrd) just to name a few. ELB teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer and world class musician, Kent Wells (Dolly Parton/Keith Whitley/Hank Williams Jr/Reba McEntire) and the two began working on the new album in the spring of ‘09. Later that same year he signed a management deal with Craig Campbell, a former Sony Music executive who was instrumental in launching the careers of the Dixie Chicks, Montgomery Gentry, Gretchen Wilson, and Miranda Lambert. The new album This Life Ain’t For Everybody released on Nashville based, Rebel Dawg Records is 12 tracks of raw truth that can only be told by Eric Lee Beddingfield. The first single the critically acclaimed “The Gospel According to Jones”, features none other than Beddingfield’s childhood idol, the legendary George Jones. With the success of The Gospel to According Jones and The Great Depression, ELB and company are looking forward to hitting the road with Bud Light and the True Music tour later this year.
