Country singer Marty Brown’s wife Shellie reported to us today that the rising America’s Got Talent star appeared today on the Laura Ingraham Show to talk music. Ingraham’s website describes the show: “Up-and-coming country star Marty Brown talks about his experience on America’s Got Talent.” Unfortunately you cannot hear her show on her website unless you subscribe to join the “Laura 365 Revolution,” but you can catch the show for free through WKCT radio, 930 AM (Bowling Green, Kentucky), playing online. If you want to avoid all the politics, Brown is the second guest. The show is supposed to repeat throughout the day, although I have not been able to catch it yet. Check out WKCT’s website. (August 8, 2013 Update: A podcast of the interview is now available on PodcastOne.)
In the meantime, I have noticed Marty Brown has posted some additional short videos of informal acoustic performances. For those who were touched to see how Shellie got Marty on America’s Got Talent, here is Marty Brown performing a song he wrote for his wife, “Whatever Makes You Smile.” On YouTube, he writes that he wrote the song as a Valentine’s Day present, citing the lines “Like the tin man, the lion, and the scarecrow,/ I’ll follow you down life’s Golden Road./ Whatever makes you smile!!” There is no fancy production, just a man and his guitar giving a nice performance of another excellent Marty Brown unreleased original.
If you would like to hear Marty Brown doing a cover song, in this video he sings the Neil Diamond classic, “Forever in Blue Jeans.”
