Homer Joy wrote what has become one of the longest running hit songs in Country Music history, "Streets of Bakersfield". The song was originally recorded by Homer himself in 1972, on Capitol Records and it became a #1 Billboard smash hit for Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam in 1988.
Homer and his band Okie Road became a top draw for rodeo's, fairs and clubs. In 1995, he produced a critically acclaimed "After Sunday", a gospel album for Nashville singing group, The Herricks.
While performing on the road in Canada, Homer had a heart attack and underwent open heart surgery. Further surgeries, stints and angio-procedures and implanted Pacesetter/ Defibrillator devices, became a 15 year battle.
The Homer Joy song, "John Law" was re-recorded in the 90's, by Homer and Buck Owens as a duet. It was the first single release on Homer's new CD, "Someday It'll Be Country"and went on to be # 1 on Independent Music Network Country Charts, a record breaking 7 Times.
To date, Homer Joy songs have sold over 20 million copies world wide including 2 ½ million copies of "Streets of Bakersfield, in 2008 alone.
