About
Country Roads Melodies
Original country songs about faith, family and the long road home.
We write and record original country music and put all of it on YouTube. No back catalogue of covers, no label behind it, just new songs going out week after week to people who keep showing up for them.
The subjects have stayed fairly constant. Faith and the sort of hope you need on a bad day. Fathers and sons, and the things they never manage to say out loud. Love that works and love that did not. Home, the land it sits on, and the people who came before. Cowboy life, taken seriously rather than as costume.
What is on this site
The channel now holds 248 full songs, 21 long play sessions and 235 short ones, which is more than anybody can sensibly scroll through on YouTube. This site exists to make that findable. Songs are sorted by what they are about, the long sessions have their own page, and every song has a page with the story behind it.
There is also a blog, which is where the writing about country music goes, and a gear page answering the questions that turn up under the videos every week.
