J. K. Coltrain was born in Columbus, Ohio. He spent his early childhood days between there and West Virginia where his parents operated a small Mom & Pop grocery store. His Dad also was an excellent auto mechanic and in fact owned a number of repair shops over the years and was a weekend stock car racer. One reason why J. K. is a Nascar fanatic to this day
J.K. grew up surrounded by music & musicians. His cousin, Buddy Starcher was a professional recording artist on Columbia Records and was one of the founders of the Starday recording label and performed on the then popular Midwestern & Louisiana Hayrides. He also first introduced the late Keith Whitley who appeared on Buddy's weekly radio show in Charleston, West Virginia when he was just 8 yrs old.
His Uncle & Grandpa performed together at churches throughout the South. That's where J. K. made his first appearance singing in church at the ripe old age of 11. His first professional job was at age 14 when he began singing with The Pleasant Hill Quartet. A well-known gospel group at the time.
Of course in his teens he had to try his hand in high school dance bands like Fire n' Ice and The Four Aces but by age 20 he had returned to his first love country music. At that time J. K. helped form a 7 piece country rock group called 'The Southern Express'. They garnered a great deal of regional success and opened for many popular groups at that time such as The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Poco & The Marshall Tucker Band.
In 1983 he left The Southern Express to pursue a solo career as his heart was with more traditional country music. He appeared to be taking the music business by storm as he was often the featured artist on Ernest Tubbs Midnite Jamboree and many popular Nashville nightclubs. He signed a recording contract with Monument Records and had label mates such as Dolly Parton, Larry Gatlin, Ray Stevens & Willie Nelson and was dubbed as The Star of Tomorrow. Much to his dismay Monument filed for bankrupcy in 1984 without ever releasing a single song and JK again found himself without a label.
He first cracked the country music charts in 1987 with a self-penned song, West Virginia You're Still My Home. Since then he has made many appearances on numerous radio & TV shows including The Nashville Showcase, The Midnight Jamboree & Stars of Tomorrow. J. K. has toured throughout the US & Canada and worked with some of the greatest names in country music. Jerry Reed, Loretta Lynn, The Bellamy Brothers, Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Willie Nelson & Jerry Lee Lewis to name just a few.
J. K's future plans are to continue touring and working on building Colt Records into one of the top Indie labels and making new friends. Ya'all come out and see us when you can.
J. K. Coltrain is the President of Colt Records and the chairman of The Traditional Country Opry. He is also a member in good standing of;
The Country Music Association
The Academy of Country Music
Americana Music Association
Traditional Country Hall of Fame
International Songwriters Association

P.S. Can I give you a free eBook sharing some great tactics on how to market your business on social networks like this one? The eBook is entitled, "Social Marketing Secrets" and is a great read for sure!

Do you spend a lot of time on social networks such as this one but can't seem to get the effort you expend to translate into targeted traffic hitting your website, affiliate or business opportunity links?
Well don't feel bad if you answered "NO" to my question. Because it's not easy what you're trying to make happen.
If it were easy everybody and their brother would be working from home and there would be no opportunity for you and I to do it too!
There are a whole slew of opportunities available today that you can take advantage of to make GREAT money online…
BUT you can have the greatest opportunity sitting in front of you, but your long term success will rely on two things: 1) Persistence 2) The ability to adapt.
The people I see that struggle and fail online… it’s not that they haven’t found the ONE thing that’s going to make them money… it’s because they float from one thing to another. They never fully develop an effort to market that ONE thing properly.
Sometimes all a person needs to succeed online is a tough minded coach who has been around the block a few times who's willing to take the time to teach them the ropes and to kick them in the butt when they need it.
Make no mistake either. I'm the man with the size 13's who can help you turn your online business around. I have been in the business full time now for over a decade so I know some things about making money online that you probably don't.
Take for instance the fact that I received close to a half million page views on just one of my websites last year and I didn't pay for even a single click to make that happen.
You need traffic to your site? It's available if you have the guts to go out and look for it.
You want my help in finally being able to quit your job and become a full time Internet marketer?
If so, I have Four Cardinal Rules I would expect you to adhere to if you end up joining my free offer to train you as my apprentice. Violate just one of them once and you will be formally warned. Violate a rule a second time it will result in your expulsion from the program.
And no, I never give second chances.

P.S. If my free program sounds like something you'd like to be a part of then I look forward to working with you. I truly believe we can transform you into a genuine Internet Marketing money earner.
If by chance you find me too hard core for your tastes then it's best you decline on my offer to train you. Don't worry I won't be offended if it turns out that I'm not your cup of tea. I have several relatives who feel the same way about me! But I do hope we can remain friends and network with one another!
