Once upon a time, Wade worked in Nashville writing songs for other folks to record. Hank Williams, Jr. took his song "Country State of Mind" to number one back in 1986 and garnered Wade three gold records and one platinum. Wade went on to pen songs for Johnny Cash, George Jones, and even Waylon Jennings.

When Nashville stopped making country music around the early '90s, where was a guy like Roger to go? For years he played for next to nothing in honky-tonks and clubs entertaining anybody who would listen. Then in 2005, Wade's All Likkered Up became the first release on the independent label Johnny Knoxville Records.

Consisting mainly of novelty songs with a satirical nod to rednecks and honky-tonk culture, All Likkered Up brought Wade to a global audience. The tracks "If You're Gonna Be Dumb" and "BB Gun" were featured in the highly successful "Jackass" films and MTV's "Wildboyz" TV series, and even more exposure came with "Party in My Pants," which was featured in the film Jackass 3-D.

Wade has appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show and Howard Stern's show, and Johnny Knoxville and Wade have launched their own weekly radio show "Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee" on Sirius/XM Satellite's Outlaw Channel.

Whether he's writing the dark and poetic tunes of Deguello Motel or "Psycho Bitch from Hell," Roger Alan Wade is "an American treasure and one of the greatest songwriters we have."
