We had a great conversation with Former NFL Player & Musician Joe Barksdale on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about many things from mental heath, music, sacrifices, his NFL career, passion, he told some great stories to a whole lot more!
His new album, “Yours Truly” features 13 tracks in his signature style, a unique blend of blues, soul, jazz, and rock, with Barksdale handling guitar, electronic drums, and lead vocals.
During his eight-year NFL career, Barksdale made his music debut with the release of his first album Butterflies, Rainbows, & Moonbeams in 2017. Following his retirement in 2019, Barksdale relocated to Austin, TX to pursue music full-time and released his EP Electric Soul (2019), which was produced by the legendary Narada Michael Walden, and another full-length album titled R&B(eats), Vol. 1. 2021 found Barksdale releasing a staggering amount of new music – four full-length albums to date: Omari, The Kyber Tapes, Walton, and Marshall. Yours Truly follows these up as his seventh and most personal album yet.
