This is Atkins' performance from the 2008 CMAs. He was just getting rolling here with his first string of hits. I saw him live with Brad Pailsey right around this time, and he was pretty good. In this video his voice seems a little off, but that could be for a million different reasons. It even kind of sounds like their trying to cover his leads in the chorus with the harmonies, because they've got them cranked really high. I digress...
I picked this song because of it being Memorial Day. The song describes a lot of different parts of American life very well, and we wouldn't have those things described if it wasn't for the service of our veterans. I'm proud to have had so many in my family serve, and I'm thankful to them and all the other men and women who give so much for what we often take for granted.
