The track An old guitar and a brand new song is written and performed by Mike Beeler from Indiana and tells us a story, as do most American country tunes. This one's about seeing an old time country singer and asking for his advice on how to make it in the big world of the national sound. This song is sung from the heart it has an essence of Kenny Rogers in the vocals and a Boxcar Willy intro. The track itself reminds me of Cowards of the county and The devil went to Georgia. Anyway who needs boxes.
You certainly don't have to be a country music fan to enjoy this little gem it's clean uncluttered sound keeps you interested, not at all laborious and above all it doesn't drown on like some country music can. With tracks like this being produced I'm sure there will be more country music fans in the making. With it's very authentic feel, An old Guitar and a brand new song will keep the old bedrock of country lovers asking for more.
Altogether a very pleasurable record, toe tappingly good! You can listen to this track yourself on his website at http://www.mikebeeler.com
