So many options, so little time... actually no, LOTS of time!
Live! And in Concert...
Christmas music has been playing for a few weeks now, and there are so many great new singles out! I've been enjoying them and rounded up some of the best that have accompanying videos to share with you. If you're feeling a little bit Prancer or a little bit Vixen, press the play links now and give these a listen!
Here's an inspirational new movie for your family, just in time for the holidays, when everyone needs to BELIEVE despite any hardships they may be facing.
Growing up, the gift of her talent, her happy hubby, and Band Against Cancer: The Sarah Cannon Tour... It's all in my interview with Martina.
Ben Hur is a larger than life blockbuster movie, but it is about Redemption, Forgivness, Reconcilliation... and because it is both epic and intimate at the same time is why it is so very special.
I'm super thrilled to be telling you about an artist this week that you all know, even though you might not know you know. You know?
I've played Edwin McCain, over and over and over, on my program for many years. You've chosen his two biggest hits over and over and over again for your weddings, anniversaries, and dedications to the loves of your life. You have. I promise.
If you're having trouble placing the name, you'll remember "I'll be" and "I Could Not Ask For More." Two of the greatest, most requested, most played love songs ever recorded!
But today I'm going to tell you about his NEW stuff. This Friday, August 12, his new EP, O Edwin Where Art Thou, will be released. But guess what? You can listen to some of the tracks TODAY!
It is McCain at his gracious, soulful, story-telling best; and I love it!
Head on over to iTunes and listen to the guy The New York Times calls "The Great American Romantic."
The Stage says the EP "...combines rock, pop, blues, and folk, for one diverse sounding album that stands as McCains best work of America's most vital rock singer/songwriter."
I agree with both. Edwin's romantic heart and incredible musical talent has deepened and matured over the years, but his boyish charm hasn't changed a bit!
Neither has his giving nature. Edwin has been so generous to donate some very special items to be auctioned off for my favorite charity, Point Hope.
You can bid on signed sheet music for two of his new singles, HOME and 8 Miles from a Paved Road... AND (this is soooo awesome!) Edwin will record an outgoing phone message for the winning bidder of this auction!
Bid HERE
THAT, my friends, is way cool!

You don't even have to get that close to the stage to see his eyes sparkle and his smile dazzle. One thing's for sure; his music will delight!
When Edwin isn't busy crafting music, he's busy at boat craft. Not the kind in the bottle either. Edwin fell upon a passion refurbishing boats some time back, and now does so in ways you and I might never be able to imagine.
You can find him on Animal Planet's Flipping Ships, where not only his handiwork will impress the heck out of you, but his quick wit, and that dazzling smile I was talking about will draw you in and make you want to take to the high seas... or a neighborhood lake, river, stream...
For all things Edwin, visit his web site at edwin.com, and tell him "Hello!" from Delilah.

Tim McGraw’s latest single is titled “Humble and Kind” and with over 40 million views as of today, I believe he struck a chord with a good many people! I know he did with me!
The hit single was inspired by Tim and Faith's daughter who was leaving for college; in true Time McGraw fashion he is speaking from his heart, and beautifully so.
Many of you will also have children graduating from high school in the coming months. But whether they are moving out, moving on, or just moving about their childhood, this is an inspiring song for all of us who wish the very same thing for the children we love.
An amazingly inspirational video accompanies the single.
Watch it HERE.
