Are you ready to experience your new favorite singer? If so, then it’s time to download our Free MP3 of the Day from a national treasure named Greg Hester.
Born with the country spirit of the American South and infused with a universal sense of soul, Greg Hester has been honing his craft as a singer and songwriter for the better part of twenty years. Whether it’s in a big room with a band of R&B All-Stars or alone in a sound booth, Hester can ring every bit of human emotion out of any tune he chooses to wrap his lungs around.
From his album American Story, “Happy Man” is an ebullient country two-step that’s as home on the stereo of a Garth Brooks lover as it is in the headphones of a Van Morrison fan.
Produced in Nashville by Loretta Lynn collaborator Eric McConnell, American Story is a deeply personal record. Across nine originals and a trio of covers, it listens like a John Steinbeck story reads, about highs and lows of Hester’s life, from the losses of his mother, father and sister to the birth of his son to the loss of his home (an event that happened because of Hester’s willingness to support the musicians who’ve always been by his side).
Download “Happy Man.” Experience it. Experience it again. Then buy ten copies of American Story and share it with ten of your friends. You will fall in love. More important, you’ll help the world learn about a singer who has spent far too much time just outside the world spotlight.
