James Robert Webb Covers Iconic 'On The Other Hand'

James Robert Webb, drawing inspiration from country icon Randy Travis, adds his western swing touch to the groundbreaking hit "On The Other Hand." This timeless tune recalls a golden age of country music and Travis' recording remains an enduring classic. Yet Webb's new version manages to break new ground with a refreshing spin by way of his unique flair and traditionalist production. His smooth vocals, alongside a danceable beat and piano, bring a fresh take on this phenomenal classic. Listen to the new recording cover below.

"Cheating songs have been a staple of country music forever. Temptation and infidelity are common issues that affect real people and in country music, we tackle those subjects with great emotional honesty. I love 'On The Other Hand' because it's a unique story where we see a man standing at the crossroads as he is deciding between staying faithful or giving into temptation," says James Robert Webb.

This cover comes after Webb released "A Horse Named Freedom" last month, as well as his radio single "Okfuskee Whiskey," which totals over 250,000 streams and is growing on all music platforms. After the release of "Okfuskee Whiskey," it came in as the No. 1 most added single to radio in the first week of its release, just became his eighth Music Row Top 40 hit and currently sits at No. 51 on the Billboard Country Indicator Chart. Webb has strong momentum with his recent music that will only get stronger with his new cover of "On The Other Hand."

As a cross-genre artist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and practicing physician, James Robert Webb is steeped in the regional music traditions of Oklahoma. Webb's music has been featured in numerous press outlets including American Songwriter magazine, Country Music People magazine, Taste of Country and more, as well as around the world on country radio and SiriusXM. Working with GRAMMY-winning producer Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, Reba), Webb is a trail-blazing independent Nashville recording artist who has racked up almost two million digital streams while finding success at US country radio stations from California to Connecticut.

He has notched a total of eight Top 40 chart hits on Music Row's Country Breakout chart and five consecutive Top 40 appearances on Billboard's Country Indicator chart. His last single, "Good Time Waitin' To Happen" was his highest charting to date, peaking at No. 17 on MusicRow and at No. 33 on Billboard. His latest radio single, "Okfuskee Whiskey" is growing at radio with over a quarter million digital streams to date. Webb has performed at numerous iconic venues including the Ryman Auditorium and a sold-out debut at the World-famous Bluebird Cafe. He has played alongside music greats including Marshall Tucker Band, Ray Stevens and Montgomery Gentry. He will debut at the famed Smoking Tuna next month as part of the prestigious Key West Songwriters Festival with frequent collaborator and hit writer, Anthony Smith (Cowboys Like Us, Chrome, Run).
