We are in the FUN business. If we are not having FUN, we are not doing our jobs!
~Cowboy Jack Clement
The historic Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa, owned and operated by legendary Nashville producer Cowboy Jack Clement, may no longer be in its original location, but the studio and his legacy live on through his children, Niles and Alison Clement. For the past few years, Niles and Alison have been running The Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa from Alison’s home in Mt. Juliet, TN. They have been busy listening, compiling, mixing and adding to the many master recordings that their CowDaddy left them, in addition to recording some new things as well! And here is some big news: We have outgrown our current location and are currently setting up shop in a new and wonderful spot! We know that we have big shoes to fill. We know that recapturing the presence and essence of Cowboy sounds impossible. We know that he was one of a kind. But who to carry on the torch better than his kids? We are up to the challenge. We had the BEST teacher! We will continue to offer a recording experience complete with stories and photographs of the musical institution that our Father cultivated for many years at the real, authentic, Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa. Keep checking back here for updates on the great things to come.And remember our mantra: We are in the FUN business. If we are not having FUN, we are not doing our jobs!
