Rancho Cucamonga, California (The Hollywood Times) 9/2/2020 – “I think that’s key — You always can learn. You can learn from younger writers, you can learn from older writers,” Marv Green told The Hollywood Times during a Zoom interview recently.
Check out the interview here:
Marv Green was surrounded by country music from a young age. Early memories growing up in Southern California include car trips with his dad while listening to Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. Family get-togethers often involved an uncle pulling out his guitar, which always intrigued Green and his brother. Before long, they had guitars of their own and were writing songs for their band.
Tim McGraw released “I Called Mama” in May of 2020 as the lead single from his new album, Here on Earth, which marks his first new album since announcing he was returning to Big Machine records early in 2020. Marv Green, Lance Miller and Jimmy Yeary wrote the song.
REVIEW
Marv’s newest CD Pouring Raindrops Back Into Clouds are songs written by him, that other country music artist recorded, that Marv has performed. What amazing songs each of these are and Marv sure can sing them with as much voice as those that recorded them. I truly enjoyed listening to all of, especially Creepin’ and Amazed. It is amazing to me how much music means to so many people, including me. Without a talented songwriter like Marv Green, we would not have these songs that touch our lives in one way or another. This is a CD to add to your music collection, regardless of genre, but country is where this one calls home. Get yourself a copy today, as well as one for your family and friends. They will make a great Holiday gift for all the music lovers in your life. Order here
