Moe Bandy Celebrates 45th Anniversary Of Hit Single “Just Good Ol’ Boys” With Joe Stampley
Bandy Recently Honored at Texas Country Music Awards With First Ever Moe Bandy Icon Award
CMA and ACM award-winning country music legend Moe Bandy celebrates the 45th anniversary of his hit single “Just Good Ol’ Boys” with Joe Stampley, released in July 1979. Recorded on Columbia Records, “Just Good Ol’ Boys” was the title track on Bandy & Stampley’s first duets project. Penned by Ansley Fleetwood, the single held the top spot for a week and enjoyed an eleven-week stint on the country chart, and remains one of Bandy’s most requested songs at every show. Moe Bandy was recently presented with the first-ever “Moe Bandy Icon Award” at the Texas Country Music Awards at Billy Bob’s Texas.
“When we recorded ‘Just Good Ol’ Boys,” we never dreamed it would last this long,” smiles Bandy. “This song has had a huge influence on my career and I always enjoy performing it live. One thing is for certain: there must be a lot of good ol’ boys and girls out there, and I truly appreciate each one!”

Bandy’s current album, ‘Thank You Lord’ contains twelve heartfelt tracks and features special guests The Isaacs on “Family Bible” and The Oak Ridge Boys with Nora Lee Allen on “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” The title track, written by Mo Pitney, Bobby Tomberlin, and Cheryl Riddle, offers a true reflection of where Bandy is in his life today, of which he is thankful for another mile, another day, and a life many could have only dreamed of. ‘Thank You Lord’ features tunes from prominent Nashville songwriters, including Willie Nelson, Bill Anderson, Hank Williams, and more! The twelve-track project was produced by Michele Voan Capps and sponsored by Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms. It is available on all streaming platforms now!

About Moe Bandy:
Moe Bandy’s country music accomplishments include ten No. 1 hit songs, many Top Ten hits, five Gold records, and numerous ACM and CMA Awards. He started his recording career while he was a sheet metal worker in San Antonio, Texas, but after a decade of hard labor, Bandy traded his sheet metal for Gold albums. In the mid-seventies, when the country pop Kenny Rogers, John Denver, and the outlaw sound of Waylon and Willie were all the rage, traditionalist Moe Bandy came along.
Bandy recently penned an autobiography, Moe Bandy: Lucky Me, which is now available at moebandybook.com.
