Even collaborations with hit Nashville songwriters like Liz Rose (co-writer of ACM Song of the Year “Crazy Girl” by Eli Young Band) on “I Remember Everything” take on Logan’s distinctive drawl and full-throttle sound as he sings, I remember everything burning like a candle at the back of my mind. And on Nobody In Nashville, the candle burns with an infectious energy through Logan’s sharp tongue and musical urgency....full text
