Andy Griggs

How does someone as young and fresh-faced as Andy Griggs have a voice like that of a weathered old soul? Comfortable, well-worn voice aside, Griggs' strong point is his ability to transport you right into his stories, whether they be heart-wrenching tales of break-ups ("Tears & Time," "What If It's Me"), deception ("Shadows") or humor-tinged, feel good songs ("You Can't Drive My Cadillac"). The highlight here is "Long Stretch of Lonesome," a driving (no pun intended), frank ode to the open road.
