Meet Chuck Mead...Again
The first time I heard Chuck Mead I didn't realize it was Chuck Mead. The tune was "Little Ramona's Gone Hillbilly Nuts" by BR5-49, a song I fell in love with back in 1996 and still love madly now, and Chuck Mead was singing it. Then, about 15 years later, I picked up a terrific tribute to Eddy Arnold, which included a wonderful version of "Anytime" by Chuck Mead. At this time, I still didn't know Chuck Mead was in BR5-49, I just knew I liked Chuck Mead's version of "Anytime." Then, back in June, a friend posted a tune from a new album by Chuck Mead. I remembered I loved his Eddy Arnold cover, so I listened and loved it, and bought his new record "Close To Home, and listened and loved that and decided it was time to tell you about Chuck Mead.
Did you know Chuck Mead was in BR5-49? I found out this morning! I love music.
"Close To Home" is a fantastic record recorded in Nashville and released on Plowboy Records. Give these tracks a spin. Chuck Mead is a great writer, smart, occasionally hilarious, and always sincere. The songs have just the right amount of twang, while never giving up the record making which keeps the right amount of pop intact to crossover.
Chuck Mead! Glad to finally meet you, again!

Thanks for showing some love for Chuck Mead and BR549. Been a fan of the band since they first came out and bought all of their albums as they were released.
This is quite tasty. And would probably have never heard of it except for Burning Wood.
reminds me of Bobby Bare.
I remember BR5-49! But who the heck is Chuck Mead? :)
