Southern Soul has a hot new breakout contender, and it's rolling straight out of Shreveport, Louisiana. Patrick "Pappy Buzz" Shaw is bringing the heat with "Ready to Ride," a funky, fresh Southern Soul trail ride jam that's guaranteed to get listeners on their feet and headed to the party.
Built on an irresistible groove, Ready to Ride captures everything fans love about today's Southern Soul movement—infectious rhythms, feel-good energy, and a soundtrack made for trail rides, backyard parties, family reunions, and weekend celebrations. From the first beat, this record delivers a vibe that makes everybody ready to party and ready to ride.
Music has always been Pappy Buzz's passion. He began writing and performing at just fourteen years old alongside his younger cousin, Mike Shaw, performing under the name Capital P. With little more than determination and homemade beatboxing, the two chased their dream despite having limited resources.
Following the heartbreaking loss of his cousin in 2018, Pappy Buzz stepped away from music. But encouragement from his son, PJ—whose final words to his father were to keep making music—sparked his return. In 2023, with a fresh musical direction inspired by producer Big B, Pappy Buzz walked into Night Wing Studio, met producer Alex Johnson, and together they created Ready to Ride.
The result is an exciting new Southern Soul anthem that blends authentic storytelling with irresistible funk, proving that passion, perseverance, and purpose can create music that moves people.
If you're looking for the next song to ignite the dance floor and energize every trail ride across the South, Pappy Buzz's "Ready to Ride" deserves a spot at the top of your playlist. Turn it up, gather your friends, and get ready—the ride has officially begun.
