Acclaimed country music artist Aaron Lines hopes that after you listen to his new CD you’ll feel like it’s “Sunday Afternoon”….no matter what day of the week it really is. “I wrote the title track (Sunday Afternoon) of this new CD while watching my daughter play in the living room one day ….I realized she had brought such a calm and appreciation to my life. A feeling similar to the one I get on a relaxing Sunday afternoon”. I named the Cd after it because that’s how I feel most of the time these days.
This kind of heartfelt song is what fans have come to expect from Lines over the years (13 top 10 singles to date) through songs like “Waitin’ on the Wonderful” (the most played song on Canadian country radio 2005), “The Lights of my Hometown” (the most played song on Canadian country radio 2006), “Living Out Loud”, “Love Changes Everything”, “You Can’t Hide Beautiful” (top 3 song in the U.S, #1 video in the U.S), “20 years late”, “It Takes a Man”, “Somebody’s Son”, “Moments That Matter”...and the list goes on.
Lines is also well-known by country fans for his up-tempo sing-alongs like “Cheaper to Keep Her” and “Turn it Up”… and this new collection of songs includes some of those as well. Edgy up-tempos such as “The Trouble With California” about a past long distance relationship and “You’d Still Love Me” fit perfectly with emotional ballads like “Unloving You” and “I Haven’t Even Heard You Cry”. Also the feel good tunes “Making Love In The Afternoon” and “Sand” add a sexy and fun element to the new project.
With all the songs written or co-written by Lines…. “Sunday Afternoon” gives you an inside look at what life is like for this country music star. “I only write songs that really reflect what is going on in my life…and how I feel. So this new CD is a lot like a diary of the last 3 years for me. I feel blessed every day to be able to write songs and sing for a living…and I really hope that these songs resonate with country fans like some of my others have in the past. That’s all any artist can ask for I think”
