Josey Greenwell

So today is Friday, and hopefully I can make that a day to talk about music!  Today I want to talk about an artist in particular, Josey Greenwell.  While his style (country) isn't exactly my type I somehow find his music nice (plus he's hot).  However, I find his story both a saddening and an inspirational one.  He won the Colgate Country Showdown in 2006, a competition which has also been won by other famous singers such as Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, and Billy Ray Cyrus.  He then signed with a recording label in Nashville, but they dropped him after they learned he was gay.  He persevered despite them and created his own album, My Life on the Radio.  Here is one of the songs from that album, as well as a single of his I find touching, and an excellent cover of The Band Perry's All Your Life.  Enjoy!
