A big congratulations to the Canadian country crooner Daniel Romano on the release this week of his brand new album If I've Only One Time Askin'. Maybe it's just me, but I think that summertime music is country music and country music is summertime music. From boot stompin' party tracks to the bittersweet, heartbreaking blues -- the heat of summer never leaves me with enough of the sounds of the south.

The single off the album, "The One That Got Away" is a lingering song that slows you down and leaves a trace of longing ing your heart. Catch Romano on his Canada and USA tour this August - October.

Among the skills & talents of Daniel Romano, he is also a leather craftsman. If you're in need of any handmade leather goods, be sure to check out his leatherwork website and get your orders in!
