There are many reasons to fall in love with a song, but for
me, the lyrics in Brad McKinney's song
"The Picture That He Carries"
was the kicker. I almost didn’t hear the music until the third time I listened
to it, because the emotion behind his voice and the powerful lyrics had me
captured.
However, after analyzing the rest of the song, it is
apparent that his producer recognized his talent and created a beautiful mix of
instruments to compliment his voice without drowning him out or leaving the
message unheard.
Brad comes from a lineage of U.S. military veterans, and
while not having served himself, he did one of the most patriotic things an
American can do - take time out of his day to write an amazing song to
show his appreciation for veterans.
Not only does Brad sing, but also creates all of his own
harmonies – not a simple task, yet they are perfect.
Unlike many of us in the music business, Brad McKinney didn’t start writing music
until he was inspired at the age of thirty-eight years old, but already his
music is far beyond that of most career musicians. He has a natural talent for writing.
I hope that you will give a listen to Brad McKinney on iTunes and support
a fantastic artist and patriot!
