Jon Randall - Walking Among The Living (2005)

'Walking Among The Living' is a wonderful collection of songs that were either written or co-written by Jon. By listening to all fourteen tracks you will soon understand that his songs are more than "filler" or "fluff" - there is a lot of depth to each line in every song that he sings. The only song Jon didn't write is "My Life."

A man breaking down and realizing he is tired of feeling alone and ashamed is the subject of "Baby Won't You Come Home." He's been a mess since the day she left him and he wants things back to normal. "In The Country" is a great place to get away from the daily grind. "A million stars when the sun goes down. Come on baby we can go to town in the country." "Long Way Down" is about someone who jumped off the deep end and is finding that things are more difficult than they thought it would be. You have to find yourself before you can move on.

Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss did a beautiful version of "Whiskey Lullaby," but listening to Jon sing a song he co-wrote gives the lyrics a little more substance. The backing music is haunting and adds even more drama to the already intense lyrics. "Austin" has a bluesy feel as a man sings about drowning in mediocrity unless he can make it to the Texas city where "They still play Merle Haggard and the women like to rock & roll." Last track, "My Life," is an upbeat closer to 'Walking Among The Living.' Despite having an out of control life, he wouldn't have it any other way.
