CASEY JAMES APART OF THE 2012 WARRIOR GAMES HIGHLIGHT VIDEO
Casey Is The CMT Listen Up Featured Artist For May
NASHVILLE – Singer/songwriter Casey James jumped at the chance to lend a track to The 2012 Warrior Games highlight video. Presented by Deloitte and hosted by the U.S. Olympic Committee, The Warrior Games are a competition for wounded and ill veterans and service members.

“The Good Life,” the lead song from Casey’s self-titled debut album, provides the soundtrack for The 2012 Warrior Games highlight video which was shown at the closing dinner this past weekend for all the athletes who participated in this year’s Warrior Games.

During the month of May, Casey is the featured CMT Listen Up artist with five live performances featured at http://www.cmt.com/asm/listen_up/artists/casey_james/ .

Casey’s self-titled album debuted at Number 2 on the Billboard Country Album Chart upon its release a few weeks ago and he co-wrote 9 of the 11 tracks on the album including the single. The album garnered a 3 Star review from USA Today and Entertainment Weekly gave the album a B+ saying “A fusion of blues and contemporary country, his subtle grit and frequent guitar solos make the songs shine.” 

Wasn't that just awesome!!!!  I teared up a little just reading that piece and then the water works started when I watched the video.....oh goodness.....what a great honor for Casey!!  I'm just so proud for him and his family!!  :)


And here is a sample of the crowd.....
