David Nail!

I am incredibly impressed by David Nail! Most have likely heard his first single Let It Rain on the radio constantly lately, and I really enjoyed the song but I still just kind of let it pass on by.  When his CD, The Sound of a Million Dreams, hit the charts though I immediately started receiving tons of calls asking if I had listened to it yet.  I allowed it to play as background music and then the actual song “Sound of a Million Dreams” came on and one line caught my attention amongst everything else around me…

“Maybe me voice will cut through the noise

and stir up an old memory.”

For me personally this song explains word for word how I feel about my crazy dreams, and his song “Songs to Sell” explained my stubbornness in my pursuit of a music career.  My favorite song on the album is actually “Catch You While I Can.”  My guess is this will be the next single released for the album because this song is a hit! 

The reason why I’m so obsessed with David Nail at the moment is because he has managed to find the perfect balance of music with commercial value and songs that are too good to not make room for on your album.  What he has done is a brave move but I believe it will pay off.  I’m hoping he can be a savior for music row and will explode in Nashville. 

I say buy the whole album, but if you don’t want to do that at least give these four songs a listen!

1).David Nail – Catch You While I Can

2). David Nail – Desiree

3).David Nail – Half Mile Hill

4).David Nail – The Sound Of A Million Dreams

Now that's some damn good stuff.

IT'S DECEMBER!!!...

Don’t forget to tune into ‘CMA Country Christmas 2011’ tonight at 8 (9central) on ABC!  Hosted by Sugarland’s main gal, Jennifer Nettles, it is sure to be a great show with performances from Little Big Town, Kellie Pickler, Brad Paisley, Amy Grant, American idol runner-up Lauren Alaina, Martina McBride.  I personally am most excited for performances by Faith Hill.  When it comes to Christmas music, Faith pretty much has it on lock.

:)

Just for kicks, here is a hilarious hick-country, Christmas song brought to you by Montgomery Gentry.  With the staring line, “Mom got drunk and dad got drunk, at our Christmas party,” it is too great not to share.  I recommend randomly slipped it into the mix between ‘Silent Night’ and ‘White Christmas’ at your Christmas party this year and watch as people slowly begin to notice.  Here is “Merry Christmas From the Family.”  Enjoy.

Listen Here ==> Montgomery Gentry – Merry Christmas From The Family

Lyrics:

Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk

At our Christmas party

We were drinkin' champagne punch

And homemade eggnog

Little sister brought her new boyfriend

He was a Mexican

We didn't know what to think of him

Til he sang Feliz Navidad

Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him

The three from his first wife Lynn

And the two identical twins

From his second wife Mary Nell

Of course he brought his new wife Kaye

Who talks all about AA

Chain smokin' while the stereo plays

Noel, Noel, The first Noel

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on

Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone

Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store

We need some ice and an extension cord

A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite

A box of pampers , some Marlboro Lights

Hallelujah everybody say cheese

Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen

I can't remember how I'm kin to them

But when they tried to plug their motor home in

They blew our christmas lights

Cousin David knew just what went wrong

So we all waited on our front lawn

He threw the breaker and the lights came on

And we sang Silent Night

Oh Silent Night o' holy night

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on

Mix Bloody Marys cause we all want one

Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go

We need some celery and a can of fake snow

A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite

A box of midol, some Salem Lights

Hallelujah everybody say cheese

Merry Christmas from the family
