The Texas Side of Nashville encompasses
four tracks that range from mid-tempo to one slower ballad. Each track is a
semi-autobiographical glance into Brian’s life. “That Old Cat” has a classic country/folk tune that seems a cross
with Johnny Cash and Townes Van Zandt. The appeal
of this track is that it tells the poignant stories of friendship between him
and his loyal cat “Kelsey.” You don’t hear many songs about cats, don’t miss this
one. “The Gone Side of Goodbye” is a
toe-tapping Honky-Tonk anthem about leaving his life in Nashville and heading
back to Texas. When it comes to Brian’s songwriting, his meaningful lyrics
originate from a place where life’s hard lessons collide with “country-fried”
honesty and genuine emotions. Brian’s songs come right from the front porch of
his soul to the listener. In The Texas Side of Nashville, Brian
delves down into his deepest darkest feelings, but the end, his songs reflect
pure country, shining under the bright lights of Texas.
