When the law is corrupt, only a maverick can set it right.
In 1899 Arizona, Deputy Marshal Flynn Harper arrives in Holbrook to arrest a conman. But nothing adds up, and the trail leads straight to his own name. As lies close in, Flynn must choose between law and conscience in a land where justice hangs by a thread.
Not My Father's Son An outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about breaking a cycle of violence and choosing to be something better than what raised you.
A man. A gun. A five-year-old watching. The fight to break a cycle isn't just about what you do — it's about who's watching you do it. One of the hardest songs in the catalog. One of the most necessary.
Inspired by Flynn Harper in The Maverick Marshal.
Rebel Cowboy Manifesto is R.J. Sloane's manifesto for the man the world keeps telling is the problem.
Thirteen tracks. No apology. From the hard-driving opener to the closer, this album follows a man from defiance through the fire, down to his knees, and back on his feet — older, harder, and more certain of who he is than when he started. Outlaw country. Outlaw gospel. Built on a code the world keeps trying to erase.
Release Date: 05/22/2026
