Marty Robins and Jack Greene, to name a few began to inspire RJ to write his own material and after working the club circuit for a number of years, he began to concentrate on developing as a writer. After the first Nashville recording in 1984, RJ has now spanned over a decade in his craft, producing numerous charted country recordings in both the US and Europe. In 1992, RJ relocated and refocused his efforts near his birthplace in Beloit, Kansas, a small farming community, where he and his wife now reside, a mere 45 miles from the exact geographic center of the United States.

Under the direction and production of Comstock producer, Patty Parker, also a native of Kansas, and the guidance of Comstock President, Frank Fara, along with engineering, and studio musical greats at Chelsea Studio in Nashville, Tennessee, he has made great strides in the entertainment business. Most recently RJ has done a major recording, using the finest musicians Kansas has to offer, at Exceptions Studio in Topeka, Kansas. He co-produced, with Randy Wills, his latest two songs, which have been released on his new CD, Heartland Country USA.

From the vast prairie lands of Kansas, a 1997 ECMA male vocalist of the year nominee, has had great success in Europe with Last Piece of Pride, Catch a Tiny Teardrop, Heartache Avenue, Back On Track, and his biggest success with Huffy Shoe Strut, all making the ECMA charts. In the USA, Catch a Tiny Teardrop went to #1 on a National Indie Chart. A true friend of Country Music and the best friend the Country Fans have ever had, a Kansas Living Legacy, RJ McClintock.

Just as the prairie winds fan a raging fire, RJ has turned from an ember to a flame. He is a phenomenal entertainer and his songs have the feeling of the land. RJ sings from his heart and that inner conviction touches his audiences. There is indeed a raging fire beginning to burn.

R. J.’s success is not self proclaimed, he lives by his belief, “Never let anyone discourage you from following a dream; believe in God, and your God given abilities”.
