One of the reasons why I'm still a country fan ;)
Mr. Brandt was born in Calgary, AB, on July 21st, 1972, but grew up in Airdie, which was a small town north of Calgary. He started singing at age 6 in their family church & learned guitar at age 13, & the rest is history. He signed with Warner/Reprise in Nashville, TN & had his first major break in '96 with "My Heart has a History" - it made it to number 1 in Canada & "made him the first Canadian male country artist to reach the Billboard Top Ten in the US since Hank Snow in 1974" - & it got bigger from there. He's released 5 studio albums, his latest being "Risk", released in 2007; plus 2 Christmas albums & the famous live album "Small Towns and Big Dreams". This song & video is from his LP "This Time Around" (which went platinum in Canada), released August 3rd, 2004.
