Coyle Girelli is my guest this week to share his new release “Out of This Town”, on Sun Records, a collaboration project with the late, Texas native, Mac Davis (“Baby Don’t Get Hooked on Me”, so many of Elvis’s biggest hits, and so much more!). This album takes you on a journey the way many great records did in my formative years. When a story was told, beginning when the needle first hit the vinyl, till the last lyric was sung. I was so moved by Coyle, and it is easy to understand why Mac reached out to him after seeing him on the David Letterman show a decade ago.
