Brian Hendrix

Brian Hendrix still writes the old songs that Townes Van Zandt inspired in him. Catchy enough for the modern country audience, but meaningful and poignant as the lyrics that shaped an entire genre.

For the first part of 2021 here, I've really been stuck in a very classic-country phase in my writing. Not intentional; it's just the way they're coming out. So this is one in a style that you might expect to hear on the radio in the '50s. It's basically just a guy's rhetorical note to his woman, reminding her that she loves him and shouldn't leave him.
This is definitely more in the vein of a Hank Williams-style country song. It's basically a guy realizing that his broken heart isn't so bad after all. In fact, he might even be better off without that sort of strife in his life.
Old-school, traditional country song about a guy who's finding it near impossible to get over a girl who just ran out on him. Probably easy enough to work in reverse too, with a couple of pronoun changes.
Song about a guy who really wants to be close to a girl he likes, and he's willing to do anything it takes to get him closer. A fun, alliterative, relatively short song, a little uptempo.
A simple, fun song about whiskey. It has some obvious religious undertones and it structured around the idea of faith; though that the song is saying "God made the whiskey" is more or less a testament to how good the writer thinks whiskey is and not necessarily literally claiming God made it.
