James Otto Can Do Almost Anything "For You"

Posted: August 18th, 2008 at 5:34 pm  |  By: Chris Parton  

First he broke out in a big way with "Just Got Started Loving You." Now James Otto offers up his second single from Sunset Man. "For You" is the soft spoken counterpoint to "Just Got Started" and really lets Otto show off his vocal range. It also gives an interesting look into the daily life of a budding star. Wake up to the sound of your own voice on the radio, sign some autographs, do an interview, more autographs, hair/makeup/wardrobe (has got to be tough for a man to get used to), publicity photos and the concert -- all the while longing for simpler times with your girl. He does an awesome job of fixing that situation though. One well-timed and creatively worded note and all is well again. I knew I should have learned to sing.

    The one thing I’m certain I can’t do is forget that video. What a marvelously conceived treatment of the storyline of the song.

    I know this is not the place to request a request. Maybe it will get to the right person. Kenny Chesney is an all time favorite of a dear friend of mine. She is 33 years old and she had a heart attack and stroke. She traveled near and far to see Kenny. My request is would/could it be possible for him to send her a card. Hopefully, this would make her day, since she was such a devoted fan. I know you can’t do this for everyone, but this would surely give her a BIG BOOST!!! Any help would be appreciated.
    Her name is Leah Berdine,Rm.704 @ Kennestone The zip is 30060.
    Sincerely,
    Pam Ellison
