Charley Pride is Lost Except for You

I love Charley Pride music.

Charley Pride Except For YouI think every country fan recognizes songs like Kiss An Angel Good Morning. Charley Pride has classic hit after classic hit during his heyday. He last released a single in 1990, but has been active with performances and a few album releases over the years.

The country world got a surprise recently when Charley released a new song. It’s a beautiful ballad about the love for a woman and how the man would be lost without her.

Except For You sees a man singing about his love for a woman. He would be lost without her. Everything in his life is dull and blue except for her.

Except For You is well written, touching, and Charley does a great job with the vocals even in his ’70s. Something I love about country music is the way artists age with their voices. I love hearing those wisdom-soaked voices singing songs of life, love, and experiences. It doesn’t get any better for a country fan like me.

I hope Except For You is able to find its way to country radio. Normally the older artists are excluded from the airwaves, but I think there might be an outside chance with this one. Kenny Rogers had a hit a few years ago and he was well into his upper years. Kenny said he spoke with a radio exec that told him they would play any song that was good.

I think Except For You fits the category of a great song.

Look for it on your radio station soon.
