By: Greg Shirley "Hey, I apologize to constantly degrading the state of today’s country music as pure crap. You and I both know it is but I don’t have to keep ramming that point home in every comment about some cool Americana album I like. For the record, there is, indeed, some damn fine country music being made out there. Raised On The Run (Garage Door), by Greg Shirley, fits the bill. With an inviting voice, intelligent lyrics, a predisposition to rock every great once in awhile, and a production that accentuates the right moments, these 12 tracks constitute everything good about this particular genre (a genre that, like hip-hop, still has a whole boatload of garbage to wade through in order find its gems). And he thanks Jesus first in his liner note credits. Shirley’s a Texan who settled in Alabama with his dad upon the death of his mom. Moving to Nashville, he married, had children, worked as a brick mason and fiddled around with music at night. When his dad fell ill, he moved his family back to Alabama where he now owns a commercial masonry company while raising five kids with his wife of 20 years. Those nights with his guitar paid off finally." - Mike Greenblatt, Rant-"n"-Roll "Raised On The Run" & Greg Shirley can be found at http://gregshirley.com/ Greg Shirley is promoted to international Indie radio by Stephen's Indie Picks" http://www.stephensindiepicks.com End
