Callahgan
By Jim Weaver Alright,
you caught me! Guilty as charged, I have in fact been surfing around
MySpace again, and look who I found this time... Callaghan.
Callaghan is the name of the band and the lead singer by the way,
and what a sweet country voice this lovely young lady has. At a time
when female country artist are belting and growling out the country
hits, this is what I call a very refreshing change.
Another
surprise to me was when I found out they are from the UK! Go figure,
not that jolly old England isn't capable of turning out good country
signers and bands, but it did take me by surprise when I've listened
to 2 or 3 songs before I find out they ain't from 'round here. Callaghan
currently has an EP for sale through their website titled Road to
Elmersville, it's a 4-song CD with video and proceeds will
benefit the Salvation Army. By the way, the title track was written
in dedication to Callaghan's Fan Club Secretary's father here in the
US, his name was James Elmer. You can read the whole, very touching
story, whilst listening to her beautiful voice on the Callaghan
MySpace link below. This
is a group worth keeping your eyes and ears on, I will be.

calls, sending out the promo kits and keeping it real and honest;
just like his music.

music flavored with shades of the reliable. With major influences
like Eddy Arnold and Jim Reeves, DeLon is enjoying wide appeal, with
