Brian Dolph is the type of singer/songwriter who takes his business very seriously and knows that success takes a lot of hard work. His songs delve into the human emotions and desires we all share. Brian’s low-key style has been compared to the likes of Don Williams and the laid back troubadours who write and sing songs about the working man and everyday life. His lyrics and easy delivery convey to the listener - true feelings from the heart. While performing at various songwriting venues Brian was convinced that his calling in life was that of a singer/songwriter. Consumed by his energies to go further, he fulfilled his dream by recording several tracks with well-known Nashville producer Gary Buck and award winning engineer Les Ladd (Capitol Records Nashville). In 1999 Brian began to see his hard work and persistence pay off by having his songs released on the highly acclaimed Hillcrest label. In the fall of 1999, Brian found his first release “You Got That Right” (produced by Les Ladd) on the European & Canadian charts. Since that time Brian has released 9 more singles on the Hillcrest label and all have charted throughout Europe. Brian has since recorded several songs with Ken Greer (Tom Cochrane Red Ryder, Road Hammers) and has been working closely with a Nashville song plugger. A number of his songs are currently being considered by well known Canadian and Nashville artists. In February of 2008 HE DIED FOR LOVE, a song he co-wrote with Larry Tilander was released to Canadian radio by Winnipeg new comer Rod Stordy. Recently he has also worked with a number of local artists producing songs for them. And at long last Brian is back in the studio recording his latest full length album. The album is being recorded in Nashville with some of the best studio musicians in the business. Be listening to your radios for a new single from Brian fall 2008.....

Story behind the song
The Way That It Is, is the way that it was, a story about the early days of my marriage to my former wife.
Lyrics
THE WAY THAT IT IS words & music by Brian Dolph © by Windstorm Music Publishing (SOCAN) Just an average working man Eight ‘til five down at the plant And when he gets home it’s time for her to leave She’s working nights at a local cafe Doesn’t see much of him these days But they need the money to try and make ends meet The bills come daily and the mortgage is due Taxes are up so what else is new The kids need new clothes to go to school The way that it is They fight the good fight And they’ve learned to give They love each other Man, that’s the way that it is They face life’s struggles one day at a time Everyday is an uphill climb And easy street is a long long way from here Still they manage to get by With a little left over once in awhile Maybe someday they’ll see their way clear It’s not the life that they had planned But they’re doing the best that they can It’s just the way that it is and they understand The way that it is They fight the good fight And they’ve learned to give They love each other Man, that’s the way that it is The way that it is They fight the good fight And they’ve learned to give They love each other Man, that’s the way that it is They love each other Man, that’s the way that it is They love each other Man, that’s the way that it is That’s the way
