COMMON SENSE by Gary Nicholson
Gary Nicholson is a Hall of Fame songwriter and Grammy winner with credits in multiple genres including country (Willie Nelson), blues (BB King), pop (Ringo Starr), rock (Fleetwood Mac), folk (John Prine), bluegrass (Del McCoury), Americana (Guy Clark) with over 700 recordings of his works, often in collaboration with the most iconic musical artists of our time. His songs have been featured in film as well, notably Jeff Bridges Oscar-winning performance of “Falling and Flying” in “Crazy Heart”. After a lifetime of contribution to American culture though music making, he has focused on addressing the current polarity in politics with the release of “Common Sense”, a twelve song collection that speaks to the divisions our country now faces with hope and humor.
