You gotta love the first few lines of his online bio:
"So, what to make of this Rick Brantley? This seeker of the life-changing novel and the perfect pair of beat-to-hell boots; this connoisseur of the cool classic movie and the greasiest dive-bar cheeseburger, disciple of the museum’s masterpiece and the panhandler’s wiliest street-pitch? This guy who lives it, loves it, takes it all in and pours out something so tight and right you just gotta hear it again and again."
He says his Dad was into Three Dog Night...so, it's no surprise that he recently covered the Otis Redding track the band covered during its glory years.
On this Music Friday, dig Rick Brantley's version of "Try a Little Tenderness."
He's at one of our favorite venues in Virginia's Blue Ridge next week with Shawn Mullins, with a couple dates in Nashville next month.
