Danielle Peck - Findin' A Good Man

January is Hot Country Lady month here, and so offered for consideration is Danielle Peck. She is part of the recent wave of women who write as well as sing their own music (others include SheDAISY, Miranda Lanbert, Kelly Pickler, and Taylor Swift).

It's a good time to be a country music listener.

Nashville is the place to go if you're a songwriter, and her first break wasn't singing, it was songwriting. It led to singing, and her 2006 album Danielle Peck.

Red Sox fans will recognize her as having briefly been pitcher Josh Beckett's girlfriend. She's an Ohio girl, so the Indians brought her to sing the National Anthem in the American League Championship Series game in October, 2007. Maybe they thought they'd get under Beckett's skin. It didn't work, and Beckett is reported to have said "Thanks for flyin' one of my friends to the game so she could watch it for free".

Lookin' For A Good Man is the selection of the day, because the video makes me chuckle.
Findin' A Good Man (songwriters Casey Kessel, Brian Dean Maher, Jeremy Stover)

Here's to finding a good man

Got a bucket of Corona,
Enough stories to last all night,
About the trials and tribulations,
Of findin' Mr. Right
Of findin' a good man.

Here's to the liars and the cheaters
And the cold mistreaters
To the mama's boys who can't make a stand.
Here's to the superficial players
The I love you too-soon sayers
If you hear me girls raise your hand
Let's have a toast
Here's to findin' a good man.

Blind dates and horror stories
Pushy guys and fast movers
Let's dedicate this girl's night out
To big talkers bad losers
It's so hard findin' a good man.

Here's to the liars and the cheaters
And the cold mistreaters
To the mama's boys who can't make a stand.
Here's to the superficial players
The I love you too-soon sayers
If you hear me girls raise your hand
Let's have a toast
Here's to findin' a good man.

Julie, I know you want perfection
Angie, you wanna listener.
Lisa, your list is gettin' long,
And girls, you know me, I just want a good kisser.

Here's to the liars and the cheaters
And the cold mistreaters
To the mama's boys who can't make a stand.
Here's to the superficial players
The I love you too-soon sayers
If you hear me girls raise your hand
Let's have a toast
Here's to findin' a good man.

Here's to findin' a good man.
Here's to findin' a good man.
