Nestled in the worldwide capital of country music, Nashville-based singer-songwriter John Eason possesses a distinct style and vocal tone which distinguishes his brand of country music from the pack.
Eason’s music carries a distinct fusion of outlaw country, southern rock and a hearty splash of blues. The unique sound is the sonic backdrop for songs which project an unfiltered, gritty appeal, some of which touch on Eason’s own personal experiences as a U.S. military veteran, such as “Brother, I’ve Been There” and “Gun From My Hands”.
The Louisiana born recording artist expounds on his penchant for creating emotionally gripping songs as he has a new release slated to drop on February 17, titled “Last Damn That I Gave”.
This track, described as “a good ol’ “doing me wrong song” details the heart-wrenching reflections of a man expressing his anguish in the aftermath of a broken marriage. Coming in the form of an extremely expressive lyrical rant towards the former spouse, Eason delivers a tremendous vocal performance which captures the essence of the pain and torment that a person would feel going through such a harrowing experience.
Eason’s emotive vocal delivery is authentically engaging as it flows across the wistful down-home instrumentation. It’s a fitting setting for the reflective nature of the song’s lyrics and it easily compels you into identifying with the man’s circumstances and having a level of empathy.
I believe this is further driven by Eason’s showmanship as he brilliantly shifts his vocal tone into a more pronounced and bold delivery upon commencing the lead-in to the chorus. He drives the sentiment of the words with a raw intent that undoubtedly conveys the concept of the song.
Isn’t it fascinating how a song and composition can conjure up so many emotions and mental images within yourself while you listen?!? Eason hits the mark on this tenfold with “Last Damn That I Gave” and music lovers certainly feel the same.
“Last Damn That I Gave” has already garnered some commercial success as an acoustic version of the song posted to YouTube over a year ago, has amassed over 30,000 organic views, driven by its inclusion in a playlist featuring prominent indie country artist, Cody Jinks.
Please mark your calendars as “Last Damn That I Gave” will be available on all streaming platforms February 17.

John Eason Bio
John is a small-town Father, Veteran, and Gypsy brought up on gospel and country music. He was born in the small town of Minden, Louisiana, and grew up in Cotton Valley, raised on good manners, good food, and good music.
He took some detours on his way to becoming a musician and pursued another passion of his as a chef. He attended culinary school and worked in the food industry which led him to create his own BBQ sauce, Renegade BBQ, and open his own bakery.
After losing the bakery in hurricane Katrina, John spent 8 years in the Air Force, where he did 5 overseas deployments. As a result, he suffers from PTSD, which he draws inspiration from in his original music. One of his first releases, “Gun From My Hands,” is about the invisible scars he carries from it. He hopes to use his platform to raise awareness for PTSD and help others who suffer from it as well.
When he decided it was time to move to Nashville and pursue his music career, he sold everything he owned and packed what was left in a $750 pickup truck and hasn’t looked back since.
He pours out music from his soul in hopes it connects with the people who need it. Some folks call his music Country, some call it Outlaw Country, and some call it Southern Rock. He calls it real and that’s the kind of music he wants to make!
Lyrics for “Last Damn That I Gave”
WELL YOU LIED AND YOU LEFT ME
TOOK EVERYTHING WE HAD
LEFT ME WITH THE BILLS AND THE RENT
THE CLOTHES ON MY BACK
THE FIRES STILL BURNIN OUT BACK
WHERE WE SAID I DO
I CAN’T KEEP LIVING
WITHOUT YOU
I’M HELL BENT ON DESTROYING
I’M SLOWLY KILLING MYSELF
ALL THE LIQUOR AND PILLS THE PAIN
WHATEVER I CAN GET
MY LIFE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT YOU DIDN’T TAKE
I RECKON YOU WERE
THE LAST DAMN I GAVE
WITH THIS PEN AND THIS PAPER
I’M TELLIN YOU TO GO TO HELL
WELL THAT FIRES QUIT BURNIN
AND THE FLAME IN MY HEART IS DEAD
BY THE TIME THAT YOU READ THIS
THEY’LL BE BURYING MY BONES
AND I’M LEAVING YOU THIS PAIN
FOR DOIN ME WRONG
I WAS HELL BENT ON DESTROYING
AND SLOWLY KILLING MYSELF
ALL THE LIQUOR AND PILLS THE PAIN
WHATEVER I COULD GET
MY LIFE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT YOU DIDN’T TAKE
I RECKON YOU WERE
THE LAST DAMN I GAVE
I WAS HELL BENT ON DESTROYING
AND SLOWLY KILLING MYSELF
ALL THE LIQUOR AND PILLS THE PAIN
WHATEVER I COULD GET
MY LIFE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT YOU DIDN’T TAKE
I RECKON YOU WERE
THE LAST DAMN I GAVE
MUSICAL BRIDGE
I WAS HELL BENT ON DESTROYING
AND SLOWLY KILLING MYSELF
ALL THE LIQUOR AND PILLS THE PAIN
WHATEVER I COULD GET
MY LIFE WAS THE ONLY THING THAT YOU DIDN’T TAKE
I RECKON YOU WERE
THE LAST DAMN I GAVE
