Celina will forever wear a black stain in my mind as I lost to them in the state championship

I have boldly lifted that veil and two song in. I will have to see if it was a first time, Friday night, little cross faded, opinion, but I definitely haven’t hated what I’ve heard.

I enjoy his voice. Wish I was even remotely ‘music minded’. It blows my mind that people write music and lyrics lmao

You must have played in the late 90’s to early 2000’s. Those teams were a juggernaut. 4 or 5 years no losses. We moved there in 2015, so we saw the last team that went to a championship.

Good luck to him. One thing I’ve seen from Texas and red dirt music, you can make a good living with out Nashville.

I am very proud of him and am just looking for some outside feedback.
My reaction to these is always the same: seems random who they pick to be famous. This doesn't really seem any better or worse than exists in this genre (whatever it is!) already. That is to say, this seems plenty good enough to me.

Does he have a gameplan to stand out from the pack? I don't think the music alone is enough.

Your son has talent for the game, impressive potential. Sounded a tad like David Gray if he had ever tried Country music.


There are hints of country influence in some of David Grays work. The song Caroline Is the best example. Not sure I see any resemblance to David gray here tho.

This kids music is solid Full disclosure I don’t like this new Bailey Zimmerman yelling style. But he’s clearly talented. He will do well if he commits fully to his art.

Downloaded it from iTunes and will listen to it in different locations and conditions such as while in traffic. I just played it watching the Austrian Grand Prix with the TV muted.

I like the cover image. It relates well with the song titles and lyrics.

"Sit by the fire". Nice song. When I was listening through the first time I went to song number 5, "Sit by the fire". Almost compelled to go there after listening to songs 1&2.

The electric guitar parts were good.

The girl singing on "What is Love" has a very nice voice. Didn't expect it when she started to sing. It is also a very nice song. A Good song. The music, not lyrics, reminds me of 'All Along the Watchtower' written by Bob Dylan and also recorded by Jimi Hendrix.

Three times through the five songs and starting on number four. Once familiar with it, I like it more each time. I have been listening to progressive rock for the past two weeks and do not have much range.

First song. Please change the word interstate with the word highway.

I am going to pass it on to my middle child. I think that she will like it. She is 33.

no. Haven't seen Ruthless in years. Not sure if he can use the internet or not. But I did play a lot of pickup ball with him and Mr. Charlie at FBC. And your dad a little bit.

DG was my best guess. You have me stumped. I knew some of the 96 class from RHS and RA well, before I went off to the military. I am sure we had some battles down low on the court on Tuesdays and Thursdays at FBC gym. This is going to consume my mind until I figure it out. Give me a last name or give me a follow on Instagram.

Wow. This guy just showed up on my Spotify Release Radar playlist. Might be because i listened a bit when you first posted this thread, but I think it's a lot more than that. Seems to be on his way up.

Congrats to your son, very nice stuff there!

I’m involved with the songwriter festival on the Northshore - Ozone Music Festival, all songwriters. It’s run by folks with serious Nashville and other connections. Have him check it out. We see some incredible talent there - it’s amazing to me how many songs we hear there you’d think would be huge on the radio but somehow don’t get the attention. Hope he gets some spotlight and some success.
