Charlie Robison - Step Right Up
Words cannot express how talented Charlie Robison is because, not only can he write, he has such a unique flair to him that allows him to be humorous one minute and completely serious the next. Working long and hard has always been his way of living and those traits have prepared him for the road that has brought him to where he is today.
"I Want You Bad," (an NRBQ cover), was the first single from Step Right Up and it got semi-heavy rotations on CMT and went up as high as number thirty-seven on the charts, while the second single, Right Man For the Job has been lucky enough to be played on CMT's "Most Wanted Live" along with regular heavy rotation. Despite the song's popularity on the television, it has yet been able to crack the Top 40 or even the Top 50. In a duet that is bound to become a single ("The Wedding Song,") Charlie and Natalie (of the Dixie Chicks) sing about a marriage that has its ups and downs and is not perfect, yet they love each other anyway.
Charlie wants to keep on doing what he does best - music and he is not worried about making millions of dollars and becoming a country music legend. Not only does he feel that way, but he also says that his home will always be in Texas, and in my opinion, that is a pretty wonderful way of thinking.
