In an earlier post, we noted that legendary country singer George Strait recorded a song written by singer-songwriter Marty Brown and Steve Clark. The song, “To the Moon,” is a wonderful country love song that appeared on Strait’s Cowboys and Dreamers album, while Strait often dedicates to his own wife in concert. Now, Marty Brown has made his own version of the song.

While we like both versions of the song, Marty Brown’s country tenor is a nice contrast to Strait’s laid-back baritone, giving an added immediacy to the song. For his version, Brown has released a fun video featuring some clips of him and his wife Shellie, along with the star of the title, the moon. Check it out.

Brown’s most recent album is 2019’s American Highway, and he continues to write music for other artists and to bring his music to fans through touring.
