Thanks for listening and your continued support.

Less than two weeks after joining ReverbNation, Ike Clanton climbed to  #1 TOP COUNTRY ARTIST on the charts on December 7, 2007 and remained #1 until January 19, 2008.  Ike's hit new spoken word singles "It's Christmas Time" and "Evel Knievel" (tribute)  really took off  during the past holidays.  Looking back to the days of ballads by Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins, we believe Ike Clanton is the first modern day spoken word artist to climb to #1 Top Country Artist on the competing with such names as the Dixie Chicks, Diamond Rio, Rascal Flats, George Strait, Gary Allan and more. 

“Wow, I can't believe it" said Clanton.  "Spoken word artists don't have their own genre on the charts, so we have to place ourselves where our work fits best.  I'm happy to see that spoken word is beginning to grow on country music fans.  Maybe this will open the door for more spoken word artists, songs and ballads. I want to thank the fans worldwide who watch the Haunted Saloon "Live" Internet TV Show every Tuesday night, I love you all.  Thank you for your continued support."  www.HauntedSaloon.com

126 years ago on October 26, 1881, Ike Clanton's 19 year old cousin Billy Clanton was gunned down and murdered in the streets of Tombstone Arizona by Wyatt Earp, his brothers and Doc Holliday.  This tragic shooting “The Gunfight At OK Corral” is the most famous gunfight in history and still very controversial today.

When Ike was old enough to understand he was related to the Clanton's of Tombstone, he began his search for the truth of what really happened to his family that cold overcast day in Tombstone.

Pubic speaking engagements and spoken word performances have been Ike's best form of media to educate the world with the truth about his family, Tombstone and the famous gunfight. In honor of his fallen cousin William Harrison “Billy” Clanton, Ike has released his first spoken word album “IKE CLANTON, THE BARD OF TOMBSTONE” is now on sale online through CDBaby at  www.VoiceStudio.net

Ike Clanton “Then & Now

Ike is currently in the studio recording some new work that he will start featuring on this page soon. “Look for something different on the new album I'm currently working on. I will never forget my roots, but my creative skills are taking me beyond my family heritage and the old west. I'm currently writing some works that will entertain a broader audience” says Clanton. 

“Why She's The Greatest” the bonus track on Ike's album “The Bard Of Tombstone” was inspirited by the late great John Mitchum whom Ike met at a film festival in Tombstone in 2000.  Mr. Mitchum was a great poet who wrote one of my all time favorites “America, Why I Love Her” voiced by the legendary John Wayne. “Why She's The Greatest” is my own tribute in my own words to Mr. Mitchum and John Wayne, two outstanding American actors and talents.
