Yesterday, a singer/songwriter died in Nashville after heart surgery a week ago. Brandon Jenkins was the Red Dirt Legend.

I’m not sure when I first heard his music for the first time or where I was. I do remember hearing My Feet Don’t Touch the Ground for the first time driving to HyVee. I fell in love with voice and the words and the music. I saw him play at Red Dirt Christmas (“Music Church”) at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa a few years ago. An amazing night with great music.

In my single girl days, my old blog featured lyrics and memories associated with the memories. Today, this song just makes me smile and remember the hours I spent listening to Red Dirt music.

With you by my side, I can do without the big city lights. I fly so high when you’re around, my feet don’t touch the ground.

If you need some new music this weekend, I encourage you to check out Brandon Jenkins.
