Artist: Bryen Willems
Track: Baby Are You Runnin’
Album: Too Cold At Home
Sydney singer/songwriter Bryen Willems is back with the third single from his Too Cold At Home album, and it’s a quirky offering.
Bryen explains “I had been listening to some Jimmie Rodgers and Hoyt Axton and it occurred to me that the flavour of their songwriting was so different to the feel of most of the male country artists’ music over the past 15 years. Modern country love songs tend to have the man making life changing promises of good behaviour and eternal devotion to the object of his affection. Now, there’s nothing wrong with that as such . . . but from time to time these older artists also wrote from the perspective that a woman’s pretty lucky to have them. So I thought it’d be fun to write a little ‘old-timey’ number to get a bit more ‘swagger’ back in country music . . . and to remind women everywhere of how lucky they are to have us men around!”
