I hope you're having a sweet Winter night out there ... hopefully staying warm with a cup of cocoa!
I just wanted to let you know that legendary British broadcaster
Bob Harris premiered my new single "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" on
his BBC Radio 2 show which is his Country Program of the week. I am as pleased as peach pie!
"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" is the second song from my new debut
album "Sweet Time" to be featured prominently on Mr. Harris's two BBC
shows. This one's my take on the hit song from Meat
Loaf's seminal 1977 album "Bat Out Of Hell". It has always been one of my favorites and I wanted to do it with my heart out there on the line intertwined with Jim Steinman's heart-wrenching lyrics.
My take on it is more countrified than the original Todd
Rundgren-produced version -- featuring the pedal steel guitar magic of
the great Lloyd Green. The song's writer, Jim Steinman, has said he
always intended for it to be a country ballad, evoking "the dusty
plains of Texas" -- and since I am a native Texan, I'd like to think we really captured that.
"Whispering" Bob gave a lot of love to Nashville artists on this
week's show, playing Lee Ann Womack's "Last Call" (one of my favorite country songs of the past decade), Steve Forbert's "It Doesn't Matter Much" and Josh Turner's "Long Black Train" -- as well as my good friends and East Nashville neighbors Eric Brace & Peter
Cooper's stellar version of Kevin Gordon's "Down To The Well", from
their fantastic new album "YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THEM BOTH".
My producer and co-writer, Chris Richards also got a pretty amazing compliment from Bob on air as the "IMMACULATE Chris Richards" for having produced "Two Out Of Three
Ain't Bad". Not too shabby, Nashville!! Not too shabby at all!!

In a bit of full-circle-dom, Mr. Harris has been credited with
propelling Meat Loaf into the public consciousness via his iconic,
influential TV show "The Old Grey Whistle Test". Here's hoping for a
little repeat luck...
Have a great night out there. And as always, thank you for your support, encouragement, and sweetness!
Take care out there,
Dawn
