I saw the light

If you've ever been to one of my shows and stayed till the end you've heard me end with "I saw the Light". The old Hank Williams classic is one of my favorite songs. Very rarely do I end a show with another song. You may wonder why? Well I heard Connie Smith talking one time how you end with a song that sums you up. She always ends with "how great thou art". So I decided to always end with "I Saw The Light". That song sums me up. Jesus saved me and showed me the Light and so me singing that song is just another way of showing it! I've sang it in places where you wander if there's light at all in there. I guess that's my calling is to go to the dark places and carry the Light of Jesus there. It's amazing sometimes the joy that comes on peoples faces when I sing that song. Even in the darkest places there is always light. I see it more everyday.

An artist's look

Every artist has a look. People knew Johnny Cash as the man in black because he always wore black. Porter wagoner always wore a shiny, flashy nudie suit. Waylon personified the outlaw image. All these artist's look magnified their music. What they wore was a huge part of their success. What I'm getting at is my look. What is it? Over the past year I've wrestled with the look. I went from dressing like George strait to wearing dress pants and a tie, and now back to the George look. Neither of these mirrors my music. Neither screams country and blues. That's what I'm looking for, a look that mirrors my music. An image that screams country and blues. An image that personifies "Country Music...Delta Style". I will find it one day, and will know it when I see it!

Well I've finally started recording my new album. The album will be called "Outlaw", and will have some surprises! I've already recorded 2 songs on the album. I'm really excited with how things are progressing! I will give some of the tunes on the album a sound that my fans have never heard from me before! I can't wait for y'all to hear it. A song on the album, "made to be tied down" can be seen on my website bencoulteronline.com.
