Our Pick: David St. Germain - My Country Song

Artist—David St. Germain
Song—Come Home
Album—My Country Song
Label—Independent

Country music has changed over the last couple of decades. Some will argue that it’s not country music anymore but a country flavored pop music. All things evolve and David St. Germain, of Manitoba’s country music family royalty delivers on every front of this genre. Right off the first cut on this cd, “Radio” provides visions of the catchy country rock sounds popularized in the late 70’s and early 80’s by groups like 38 Special. Throughout this cd, you’ll find St. Germain crafting songs with the melody and depth that made bands like Alabama gain so many of their country hits. “Working Man Blues” provides the energetic speed that reminds us of the Charlie Daniels Band. If you didn’t know better, you’d think St. Germain grew up in the southern Delta where country, rock and blues all combined together to create this genre that is accredited to studio musician Duane Allman and The Allman Brothers. David St. Germain seems to know what he’s doing and has the full quality sound production and instrumentation to go along with his songs. If you are a fan of new country music, you will be 100% satisfied by this cd release. Not so much twang but still earthy in its country feeling. Which is what country music seems to be more about than a specific music style in today’s music tastes. If this artist catches some lucky breaks, St. Germain should be one of Canada’s next big country acts touring endlessly. Until of course, like his song Come Home, he returns to where his home and heart is. St. Germain calls this cd My Country Song but I’m sure listeners will soon feel these are “their” Country songs!
