Story Behind The Song
The original instrumental was composed April 12, 2016 -- a peaceful, Spanish guitar-led reflection with a gentle swing and hopeful spirit. Kevin always felt it needed lyrics. Nine years later, the chorus was born, and after six rewrites, the vocal version emerged with Tim Patterson delivering a heartfelt performance. It's now a laid-back anthem for choosing joy, even when life isn't perfect.
Song Description
Doug Diamond - Broadjam Pro Reviewer:
"'Lovely Country Day' is a pleasant-sounding track with good performances and a little bit of an 'island flavor'. The guitar and steel guitar play off of each other nicely. I could see where this track might work in the exact right scene for a film or television show -- think: Travel Channel perhaps."

Lyrics
Chorus
Isn't it a lovely country day,
didn't always feel this way,
now the skies are clear, and I, I can smile again,
I can truly say,
No matter what may try to come my way,
. . . lovely country day
