McCoy is also one of the four members of the group The Road Hammers, which has released two studio albums, in addition to charting four singles in Canada and one in the United States.
At around the age of 5, his family moved to Camrose, Alberta, returning three years later. "The cowboy culture really stuck with me. I just fell in love with the music. For some reason, as a little kid, I had some sort of connection with these guys who were singing about these depressing things," McCoy said, citing Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash to lesser known artists like Ed Bruce and Wynn Stewart. "I just didn't have a voice for rock 'n' roll." Jason started playing guitar at age 7[1] and wrote his first song when he was 12[1].
In his teens, Jason owned a rock 'n' roll guitar and was partial to AC/DC. In the 1980s, he joined a band called Three Quarter Country, which performed at legions, Saturday night dances, and clubs in Barrie, Midland, Orillia and other small towns. Jason won a talent contest in Toronto in 1988, allowing him to travel to Nashville to record an album with Ray Griff[1]. He later signed with MCA Records in 1995.
On May 1, 1999, he married his long time love, Terrine Barnes.
McCoy is a third of the country-rock trio The Road Hammers, which also features musicians Clayton Bellamy and Chris Byrne. While it seems the majority of his time is going towards The Road Hammers, he is still maintaining a solo career.
Please Please
Jason McCoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From every fool who's tried before Looks like there's gators in paradise
But honey I don't care
[Chorus]
I say, please please break my heart
Go on and tear it all apart
Your kind of loving is dangerous
Tidal wave of tears for your tender kiss
Small price to pay
I'm a sucker for your saffron hair
But half a rainbow don't go nowhere
You'll leave me nothing but memories But honey I don't care
[Chorus]
I may be crazy
I may be insane
Running head first into a fast moving train
But I believe the pleasure's gonna out weigh the pain
Warning signs all say stay clear
There's avalanches and earthquakes here
I may be walking on shaky ground
But honey I don't care
[Chorus]
In Jason McCoy's song "Please Please", he sings about being willing to risk heartbreak to experience the dangerous and thrilling love of someone who is not good for him.

Despite this warning, he is a sucker for her "saffron hair" and is willingly walking on shaky ground.
The chorus reiterates his willingness to take the risk: "Please please break my heart, go on and tear it all apart. Your kind of loving is dangerous, but I'm the kind of fool who'll take the risk." He believes that the pleasure of being with this person will outweigh the pain of potential heartbreak, and he's willing to endure a tidal wave of tears for just one tender kiss.
