The votes are in and the fans have spoken. It was a close race but with 28% of the votes, “Love for a Little While” is the song Tyler Barham fans are wanting to hear first.
Even if you voted for one of the other songs, you won’t be disappointed with this upbeat, nostalgic, ode to first love set against the backdrop of a small town county fair. Close your eyes and you can see the multi-colored flashing lights of the carnival rides and smell the popcorn and cotton candy as it fills the air. The only way you would not like this song is if you had a bad experience on the tilt-a- whirl after a quick stop at the corn dog stand.
When you listen to the EP, you get a real sense of who Tyler Barham is as a person. Tyler really is the “Guy Next Door.” The only twist is, this “Guy Next Door” happens to have a great voice. The songs are not contrived and stay true to the 17-year-old Tyler, who began uploading covers of his favorite country songs three years ago.
Here is a quick review of the songs you’ll have to wait a little longer to hear.
17 & Young – If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of the phrase, “We need to talk,” this song’s for you.
Stuck in a Country Love Song – It doesn’t get more romantic than picking wildflowers under the stars while fireflies dance around to the beat of young lover’s hearts.
Tennessee Girl – This is sure to be a hit with the “Volunteer State,” but with its catchy melody and lyric, it’s bound to win over southern girls from all over.
Slow Down – Even non-country music lovers will gravitate to this rock-edged first person narrative of what it feels like to be left behind without a second thought.
If you like a good underdog story, watch out for this kid. If you want to be part of a GREAT underdog story, buy Tyler’s EP when it hits iTunes and help him get the record label attention he needs to make it to the next level.
