I LOVED HER FIRST - HEARTLAND
You might think you have “I Loved Her First” all figured out after the first few lines, but then it throws a delightful curve. As you listen to lead vocalist Jason Albert sing about a couple dancing, you initially think it’s a guy watching his ex-girlfriend. Then as the song progresses, you realize it’s a father watching his daughter. Penned by Walt Aldridge and Elliot Park, it’s a beautifully written tearjerker that will hit home with dads everywhere who can’t believe their little girls have grown up so soon. Albert’s wonderful vocal performance wrings every drop of emotion from the tender lyric. This talented band hails from Huntsville, Ala., and makes its national bow with this terrific single.
