NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Country singer and songwriter James Robert Webb has released his latest single “Stealing Home”. “Stealing Home” is a touching, classic country song that will have you wishing time wasn’t so fleeting. After over a year of time spent with loved ones was taken from us, this is the perfect song to remind us of a simpler time and the importance of family and friends. “James continues to showcase his talents by delivering a sentimental but not sappy tune, evoking fond memories of the past,” says KFAV Radio.

“Stealing Home is one of those heartbreakingly beautiful songs about family, life and memories—and how time eventually takes all of those things away from us. I really related to the character when we recorded it, but with the loss of my mother this summer, it hits even closer to home” says James Robert Webb.
The house got small and dad lost hair
The rope swing and the tree aren’t there
The neighbor, she ain’t sweet old Mrs. Jones
Little sister’s not right down the hall
And Rex ain’t around to fetch his ball
And no need to ride to grandma’s down the road
Oh, damn old Father Time for stealing home
“Stealing Home” was originally released on James’s self-titled album that was put out early last year to high regards. “[This album] offers every reason to believe he’ll continue to succeed. He possesses an edgy yet still agreeable demeanor, a voice that blends authority and empathy in equal proportions.” – Lee Zimmerman, American Songwriter
With this release and James’s previous single “Okfuskee Whiskey,” James is showing no signs of slowing down. Written by Webb and Matt Shannon, “Okfuskee Whiskey” was James’s fastest rising single to date with over 375k streams on Spotify alone and 640k views on the official music video.
