Lera Lynn "Good Hearted Man"

I am really proud of a friend of mine, a father who got custody of his son. He is delighting in this turn of events, and that the court granted custody to the father instead of the mother.  He is dependable, responsible and loving. A good father, and he will make a great husband later this year. It’s so good to have healing love. I think in this day and age, you find love where you can, take your best shot, and always trust your gut. Me, I am a sucker for happy endings, especially when they have hope for the future and are based on love.

They were the first set, on the first day of our four day 2012 Music Fog Marathon, during which we presented 44 acts. Today's tune is from the album Have You Met Lera Lynn?, which came out a year ago and includes this gender bending tune that Lera wrote from a male perspective. If it doesn’t make sense to you, the official video of the song might help position the context.  Here is the Music Fog recording of “Good Hearted Man,” Lera with Ben Lewis on lead guitar, Ben Wills playing bass, and CK Koch on drums.  Be forewarned if you're at work or with the kids - the song has more than a few NSFW four-letter words.
