crazychicknladyI've been listening to Glenn Beck podcasts lately, since I recently figured out I can stream them through iHeartRadio with zero data cost.
Today he featured a Country music artist I'd never heard of before. Now, Glenn is in Texas, and this particular artist is very Texas, so I could see their connection.
The interview made me curious enough to check out his stuff. The big push was for a live album recorded at the Houston rodeo last year. They put off releasing it because of the hurricane. Now they are donating $1.41 per download to help the families still struggling. The .41 is because 41 counties in Texas were affected by the hurricane (that bit of info was brand new to me).
I checked out the live album first and I really like this song, but my general opinion is that while he has good story in his songs and he has a voice for country, he is a little too rock and roll for me. Still, he has a violin in his band. Since S has been learning violin I pay attention for songs with violin to share with her.
I gave her my phone for a while to give him a listen.
She highly approved.
Then she pointed out that I should try his non live albums. Yup. She was right. I love this song. It starts out sweet and then gets better. Then, keep listening, it gets even better. Click the link, it's worth three and a half minutes of your time.
