Craig Allen Country: Craig Reynolds - Country Singer/Songwriter

Sometimes the road to fame and fortune is persistent and steady. A great example of this is "Craig Allen Country," and singer-songwriter Craig A. Reynolds. I kid you not, this man knows how to write great songs (from ballads to frolicking country-pop) and he sings as well as he writes, which is great.

I first met Craig Reynolds a number of years ago when he was at Mike Brookshire's bar in Douglasville, Georgia with country star Darryl Worley ("Have You Forgotten"). Off and on he would be in town and sing a few numbers at the open mic, and what not. Craig, a tall handsome dude, would bring the house down and the women loved him.




The future originator of Craig Allen Country then met a lovely woman, moved to Nashville, and began his country music career in earnest. Well, the relationship did not last, but the genius and music did. 

Craig's first cd, released under his name (Craig Reynolds) still is one of the few cds by anyone or any group that I can play start to finish and enjoy all the way through. In addition, it is/was the original home to what I feel is one of the greatest sings ever written or sang (and I do not say that lightly) entitled "God Missed Her Most." Hopefully that one is being released again on his newest effort, or will be soon!

At any rate, find Craig Allen Country's "Moonshine," "God Missed Her Most," and "Rollin In The 'HEY' ." Folks, this guy is happening, and has the writing and singing abilities to be the next big country act - and maybe even crossover a bit. I am very picky, and I really like this fella's music and lyrics....

Craig writes for "So You Write" publishing company in Nashville.
