omg.....this song was us.....hubby (to be) was a trucker, i was a dancer in a bar.....we found a '67 dodge crewcab in a junkyard..... i helped him fix the clutch, we found an old camper, packed up his kids and hit the road.....from oregon, to new jersey, ended up in georgia..... the kids are grown, the truck got traded for a dining room, he gave me the moon over georgia..... been together 28 years.....found our corner of paradise.... ♥♥
Way more talented. Just like Radney Foster, Lari White, Holly Dunn, Kelly Willis, Shelby Lynne and Marty Brown Just to name a few. None of them, got anywhere near the recognition they justly deserved. All of them amazingly multi-talented artists.
Wow! When I first heard this song, I already had the album, but it was the CMT Pick Hit of the week video. This was in late 95, early 96. So they clearly expected it to be very Big. I honestly thought it was a surefire Number 1 song. A Blockbuster. So what happens, Radio set on the song for weeks and weeks, then it got barely any ad's or airplay and then just disappeared. Reminded me of Holly Dunn having the Pick Hit with "As Long As You Belong To Me" in 1992 off the Brillant "Getting It Dunn" CD, and that barely saw the light of day on Country Radio. I know those could have been huge songs given the chance. Honestly, I thought that "Little By Little" should have been at least a Top 5 hit for James. This guy had it all. Great looking handsome dude, phenomenal voice and stage presence and an amazing song writer. Much like my beloved Lari White and how about Kelly Willis. These exceptional talents never got the respect or recognition that they justly deserved and worked so hard for.
I'm from Germany. Ì`m a Line Dance Teacher and my Dance Group is dancing this Line Dance "Anything for Love". We have a lot of fun. Thank you James for this beautiful song.
Man, I loved this song back in the day. The whole "Days Gone By" album was outstanding. James House was one of the most underrated and underplayed artists of the 90's. Dude was truly a phenomenal talent. Great voice, amazing presence, fantastic songwriter. The man had it all except the respect of stubborn Country Radio programmers. I just don't get it? No question that this would have been a number 1 song for some more so called "Radio Friendly Artist. For that matter, "Little By Little" would have been a Number 1 song. "This is Me Missing You" deserved to be a Number 1 song for James. Radney Foster was another guy who should have been much bigger than he was. Guy had it all.
I rediscovered this song after I heard part of it on the local classic country radio station a couple days ago and this song is AMAZING! I love the harmonies! I could listen to this song all day! It reminds me of when the Air Force was sending my husband and me all over the world. We found paradise after he retired in a doublewide on a ridge in Kentucky.
How have I never heard of him until now? All I listen to is late 80s 90s country and some 2000s. Glad I looked him up from a comment on a Wade Hayes song.
what the hell has happened to this guy he has the best voice ever come on james get on some shows so we can see you please i am in charleston sc beautiful city please do a show here love you man
You should be so proud of your Dad. I think he is so talented. I actually talked to him through e-mail and he told me what he has been doing. I would love to hear him back on the radio.
Jeff Copley's music along with James House were two voices that should have carried throughout time. When their music came out in the 90s I was consumed in listening to those two men. At work, I would call the radio station just to hear them until I got home. Wonderful! Where are they now? Amazing voices.
Buried in the weeds and dust Stole some tires and fixed the clutch And that old truck was ready for the road They flipped a coin at the interstate They had a dream that wouldn't wait God only knew how far they'd go Cheat the cards in Reno Hide out in Santa Fe Make a run for Mexico Strike gold in L.A.

Wow - what a great video. James has a terrific voice and all the band is super. I really like this song - what a sweet message. This video has the interest and the quality that so many are lacking these days. I'd like to know who wrote this song. Thank you for posting this winner. - Paula
@bobbideemusic I'm pretty certain I'll probably stay pretty close to the roots and ranks of rodeo and calf roping as always, just because I feel like that's really where my heart is going to be alive forever and ever after the 100th century
@bobbideemusic In the 100th century and that's really the real true kind of cowboy stuff that I love and like all the time forever and ever and have the most fun with to relive and repeat again forever and ever as I think that's just the most important of what you love to do!!! :) :) :)
Her name is Jeane Cioff ... She's an exceptional fiddle player and singer....and also a really sweet person inside and out... She still performs with James..
@bobbideemusic 1. I longer live forever and ever as there's more of old and young me, and that I'll be around the 100th century, I'll never be dead with Christ, as there's more of both young and old me, as that's true, it really is!

It brings back memories. James was more talented than I think he ever got credit for.
Way more talented. Just like Radney Foster, Lari White, Holly Dunn, Kelly Willis, Shelby Lynne and Marty Brown Just to name a few. None of them, got anywhere near the recognition they justly deserved. All of them amazingly multi-talented artists.
Thats real good country music! Thank you! 👍

Also David Kersh. He has a great voice, but disappeared. There are so many great singers who just didn't get the air time they deserved.
that's real country
I'm from Germany. Ì`m a Line Dance Teacher and my Dance Group is dancing this Line Dance "Anything for Love". We have a lot of fun. Thank you James for this beautiful song.

I saw him at The Westbury Music Fair in New York years ago. Bought this album there. Great song, great album!

Excellent.
Buried in the weeds and dust
Stole some tires and fixed the clutch
And that old truck was ready for the road
They flipped a coin at the interstate
They had a dream that wouldn't wait
God only knew how far they'd go
Cheat the cards in Reno
Hide out in Santa Fe
Make a run for Mexico
Strike gold in L.A.
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
They never saw the Great Divide
The old truck gave up and died
They lived in a pay-by-day motel
He took a job driving long-haul trips
She danced all night for tips
They kept their hopes in a wishing well
A white picket fence
A yard full of kids
A little extra money
For the things they never did
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
Cheat the cards in Reno
Hide out in Santa Fe
Make a run for Mexico
Strike gold in L.A.
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
On their way to a better life
Came up five miles shy of paradise
They made the most of not enough
They did anything for love
Great linedance song. xxx
Great song ! Great performance. Our friend Phil pointed me to you guys.
Que hermoso tema country

DON COOK INTRODUCED ME TO JAMES IN 1997, AT ROCK HRBOUR MARINA. GREAT GUY!
Uma das melhores.
Jim , You were a classic, shoulda, coulda woulda. no accounting for the ears in this country. Let's try a classic rock album.
Wow - what a great video. James has a terrific voice and all the band is super. I really like this song - what a sweet message. This video has the interest and the quality that so many are lacking these days. I'd like to know who wrote this song. Thank you for posting this winner. - Paula

Do you have Born Ready by James House? I love it.
Que linda miusic
@bobbideemusic I'm pretty certain I'll probably stay pretty close to the roots and ranks of rodeo and calf roping as always, just because I feel like that's really where my heart is going to be alive forever and ever after the 100th century
i hope this is not going to upset anyone, but he sounds like a young John Schneider.
but what an awesome voice.
@bobbideemusic In the 100th century and that's really the real true kind of cowboy stuff that I love and like all the time forever and ever and have the most fun with to relive and repeat again forever and ever as I think that's just the most important of what you love to do!!! :) :) :)
