I love anyone named Keith who sings country music!


As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm a huge country music fan. Therefore, the next song I'm going to analyze will be a song by Keith Anderson, one of my favorite singers of all time. And also as promised, I will be posting about the artist before I talk about the song.

For me, Keith Anderson kind of came out of nowhere. He had a great song on the radio called "Pickin' Wildflowers," that's both unbelievably raunchy and extremely catchy. Then I heard another one of his songs, called "Stick it," also pretty hilarious. Finally, I caught the end of "Every Time I Hear Your Name," and figured I needed to hear more of his songs. I have a theory that if I truly enjoy at least three of an artists' songs, I will also enjoy the album. It hasn't failed me yet!

So I bought his album, "Three Chord Country & American Rock n' Roll," and adding it to my elusive "5 favorite albums list," it is one of few albums I can listen to and love every song.

I just realized that this story is in so many ways exactly like the Ari Hest one. Because I had the chance to meet Keith on my 22nd birthday last September. My friend Laurie and I went to go see him at a bar. It was also an interesting night, because the event was a fundraiser, and there were lots of raffles and line dancing lessons. Laurie and I were having a lot of fun, when all of a sudden, the organizer of the event grabbed me. Apparently, she remembered me telling her it was my birthday when I bought tickets; and she was taking me backstage to meet Keith.

I froze, and Laurie ended up having to introduce me to him because I think I literally forgot my name. Anyway, he was incredibly sweet and soft spoken and he called both of us "darlin'" and it totally made my life complete.

I'm excited to analyze one of his songs, because I love them all. They have such great messages and stories. More to come later! Anyway, above, is me, Keith and Laurie. (I swear, this is the only other picture I have with me and an artist I love!)

Can you analyze "I'll know when I get there"
