These songs were written by Brock Easterbrook and the music tracks were composed in Nashville by Jackie Cook. They were both recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis on a restored RCA ribbon microphone like the ones used in the day by Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison etc. and I ACTUALLY stood on the spot that Elvis did all his Sun Records recordings in the 50's (VERY cool experience...Let me tell you!). The recordings both have a distinct sound of the past and the echo and reverb from the original walls of Sun Studios are reminiscent of some of the older recordings that were done there.

The first song "The Sun Never Sets in Memphis" is in tribute to the studio and those that have recorded there. The second song "But it should! " is a fun little song that blends a bit of the old country with the new flavour and was fun to record at this famous spot which was the birth place of Rock n' Roll.

Not singin’ about my pick-up
or my dead dog “Sam”
little woman’s still in rehab
hooked on somethin’ ends with “pam”?
but at least she never left me
now…is that good, or is that bad?
I’d really laugh like heck,
if that wasn’t so darn sad!

Sing like you care,
Sing like you don’t
It won’t matter either way…
As long as the tune… packs a punch
It’ll carry you through the day
in my beer, I ain’t cryin’, cause
it won’t do me any good
this country song
don’t suck… but it should!

Well, I got my little tractor
It’s not green, it’s more like gray
but my baler’s always broke
“I get... allergic smellin’ hay”, so
the combine’s getting rusty
maybe I could grow some corn
way too down in these dumps
wish I never had been born!

Sing like you care,
Sing like you don’t
It won’t matter either way…
As long as the tune… packs a punch
It’ll carry you through the day
in my beer, I ain’t cryin’, cause
it won’t do me any good
this country song
don’t suck… but it should!

Pull on those shiny boots
grab ‘em firmly by the straps
and don’t worry if you sway
as you steer clear of all those traps
but you’ll never have to worry
If your friends think you’re a schmuck
Just don’t give in and
sing…about your truck!

Sing like you care,
Sing like you don’t
It won’t matter either way…
As long as the tune… packs a punch
It’ll carry you through the day
in my beer, I ain’t cryin’, cause
it won’t do me any good
this country song
don’t suck… but it should!

I say, this country song don’t suck…. but it SHOULD…!
