As you can probably imagine we get a huge amount of new music put in front of us on pretty much a daily basis. Some of it is good and some of it is not so good, but it is rare that an artist like Mark Wayne Glasmire comes along and captures our attention immediately as he has done with his new single “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.” He crafts a very well told story about a factory shutting down and a husband/father losing his job, ultimately assuring his wife and family that they are going to pull through it. As you dive forward you don’t see things being alright at all as the husband/father can’t find work, the bank forecloses on their home, and they live out on the streets, but with a positive tone to his voice he tells them that everything is still going to be alright. As the song winds to an end we see the kid grow up and share his dad’s advice with his family years later. The story itself is relatable, but it is the folk like way Glasmire tells it that really captures your attention. This is a solid songwriter doing what he does best by delivering his lyrics that hit home for too many people in this country right now making this well worth a spin. Great song, great delivery, great lyrics, just an all around great song that shows how to stay strong through a tough time and how not to lose faith and love through it all.
