So. Much. Music!!!

It is almost staggering how much new country music is being released this fall. Earlier in the year we had new cd’s from Tim McGraw, Blaine Larsen and the Grascals (to name a few). Starting September 19th we’ve basically had a release a week. Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Braid Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Doc Walker, Lonestar, the Barbara Mandrell Tribute and countless others. It’s hard to keep up! My rule is that I like to be familiar with one cd before I buy another one. At this rate, I’m either going to have to wait (heaven forbid!) or start listening a lot more. Times like these are why I miss my commute.

Today I'm listening to "Strait Up" on Sirius Satellite Radio (via my computer). They are playing 100% George Strait including all the tracks from his new cd.

The Dierks Bentley Fan Club is also releasing a song a day from his cd which will be out on October 17th. Today's song is the title track "Long Trip Alone". The title was promising and the song has exceeded my expectations. Dierks said that it will be the next single which is fantastic news. I took the time to type up the lyrics earlier. I think this is my new theme song...

Long Trip Alone

It’s a long trip alone
Over sand and stones
That lie along the road
We all must travel down

So maybe you could walk with me awhile
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
Cause it’s a long trip alone

It’s a short piece of time
Just enough to find
A little piece of mind
Under the sun somewhere

So maybe you could walk with me awhile
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
You know we can’t afford to let one moment pass us by
Cause it’s a short piece of time

And I don’t know where I’d be without you here
Cause I’m not really me without you there

Yeah

So maybe you could walk with me awhile
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
So maybe you could walk with me awhile
Maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Maybe I could feel you right beside me till I’m home
Cause it’s a long trip alone
