About Me
I live in the Poplar Bluff, Mo area. I have written songs for as long as I have played guitar it seems. Writing music just seems natural to me, and it's something I work at everyday. I consider myself a never ending student. My music is nothing less and nothing more than my interpretation of what we feel and see in life. I grew up listening to all the classic country artists, Johhny Cash, Marty Robbins, Waylon Jennings, Hank Snow, Merl Haggard, Tom T. Hall, and Charlie Pride.
My roots are in country, but my heart prefers the energy of rock and blues. I guess that's where my music can be confusing to some. Am I country? Am I more rock, and blues? To be honest, country and rock just ain't what they use to be, and defining those terms are sometimes ambiguous at best.
I am comfortable with my music, and I put my heart and sould into making my music have soul and feeling. As far as genre? Well I believe that is often best left to the listerner to decide.

Rex Rambler Interview
BP:Hi Rex! Thanks for the interview. Well, after checking out your website (www.RexRambler.Net), which is a very sharp site by the way, I was a bit surprised that I haven't heard of you until now. Tell us a little about yourself.
RR: Well many haven't heard of me. At least not as Rex Rambler. My real name is Rex Mounce. The Rambler part comes from my trucking days. Rambler was my CB handle. Yes, I own a 1963 Rambler American, and have always felt a certain connection to that name. Rambler fits me very well. I have been a rambler in traveling, and most of my friends will tell you, that I'm a rambler in conversation too. I love people.
You can always find me in a crowd. I'm the one either entertaining, or leading the conversation. I have never met a stranger, at least a person who was a stranger for very long.These days, I am currently pursuing two of my life long dreams - my music and college. I am majoring in Secondary Education, with an emphasis in mathematics and perhaps, social science. I joined the ranks of independent artists about a year ago.
I made a recording studio out of our spare bedroom. Sat down one day, and started recording as many songs as I could. And that was the start of things.
BP: You grew up around alot of music, and have lots of talent in your family, is that right?
RR: Yes. I was raised in a home where the radio was quite often preferred over the TV. I guess you could say I am a fifth generation musician. My Great-grandfather made fiddles, and was a master fiddler. My grandmother and grandfather both played music. They met each other while playing in dance halls and barn dances. My mother plays piano and also guitar. My favorite story about my grandmother, is the way she plays piano. My grandmother can play by ear, and play any gospel song from hearing the melody, however she only plays the tune on the black keys.
