Single “Walkin’ Behind The
Star” Pays Tribute To Those Keeping
America Safe
|
| |
 Fans of one of Country
Music’s most distinctive song
stylists have new reason to
exclaim with delight as veteran performer
John Conlee returns to the radio with the
emotional single “Walkin’
Behind The Star,” released on his
own RCR (Rose Colored Records) label.
The song was written by Nashville
industry veterans Ronnie Scaife and Phil
Thomas, who collaborated on the Johnny
Paycheck hits “Colorado Cool
Aid” and “Me and the IRS”
together. The touching lyrics were
inspired by Phil’s grandfather and
great-grandfather, both of whom served in
their local sheriff’s department.
The song had yet to be cut until recent
events made the song a little timelier,
and the song was pitched to the Grand Ole
Opry star, who was touched by the
song’s honesty.
“Recent deadly attacks against the
people who keep us safe is unprecedented
in America and I wanted to sing this song
in honor of their sacrifice and
willingness to serve,” says Conlee.
“Walkin’ Behind The Star,“
can be found on his upcoming release
Classics 2, which will feature some new
material along with many of Conlee’s
latter classics. The set features Conlee
hits such as “Harmony,”
“Mama’s Rockin’
Chair” and “Hit The Ground
Runnin,” which are being issued on
CD for the first time since their
releases on Columbia and 16th Avenue
Records.
Conlee recently celebrated the 36th
anniversary of his breakthrough hit
“Rose Colored Glasses,” and can
be found on the road throughout 2015 as
well as the stage of the Grand Ole Opry,
where he has been a member since 1981.www.JohnConlee.com
