From backwoods barbecues and community gatherings; Allen Stone emerges to share personal melodies, telling his tales of life after just 24 years. Getting his start singing at his father's church in small-town America; it wasn't until later when introduced to the greats of soul music (Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin) and then to the confessional lyrical fashion of the 60's -70's singer/ songwriters, did music begin to ignite intense passion, eventually carrying this boy to a musical home.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here's Allen Stone's cover of ALONE recently released from a Spotify session he just did. As usual I've included the chords used per section so there are repeats listed. There's a lot going on with the other instruments but this covers enough to just do it with one guitar. He does some variations to the original lyrics. Those listed here are intentional.
