New Marty Brown Single: “Whatever Makes You Smile”

marty brown whatever makes you smile Fresh off his run on America’s Got Talent, Marty Brown has recorded a new single, “Whatever Makes You Smile.” Brown wrote the song as a Valentine’s Day present for his wife Shellie, singing “Like the tin man, the lion, and the scarecrow, I’ll follow you down life’s Golden Road.” You might remember her from America’s Got Talent because she surprised Brown by arranging his appearance on the show.

Although Marty Brown has made some CD’s of newer music available in the last few years, it is great to see his new music being sold by mainstream sellers like iTunes and Amazon. I just bought a copy of the song and cannot wait for more. Check out “Whatever Makes You Smile.” [June 2014 Update: This post previously featured an acoustic version of the song that is no longer available on YouTube. Below is the official video for “Whatever Makes You Smile.”]

Brown remains active after his America’s Got Talent appearances. This week, he will be in Nashville to tape a TV episode of Words And Music for the Nashville Songwriters Association. Check out other upcoming performances on his brand new web page. Finally, you may get a free download his song “Love Signs,” which appeared on his independently released 17 Love Songs, at the CMT website.

    Marty Brown on WKCT Radio & “Whatever Makes You Smile”

    Marty Brown Whatever Makes You Smile

    Country singer Marty Brown’s wife Shellie reported to us today that the rising America’s Got Talent star appeared today on the Laura Ingraham Show to talk music. Ingraham’s website describes the show: “Up-and-coming country star Marty Brown talks about his experience on America’s Got Talent.” Unfortunately you cannot hear her show on her website unless you subscribe to join the “Laura 365 Revolution,” but you can catch the show for free through WKCT radio, 930 AM (Bowling Green, Kentucky), playing online. If you want to avoid all the politics, Brown is the second guest. The show is supposed to repeat throughout the day, although I have not been able to catch it yet. Check out WKCT’s website. (August 8, 2013 Update: A podcast of the interview is now available on PodcastOne.)

    In the meantime, I have noticed Marty Brown has posted some additional short videos of informal acoustic performances. For those who were touched to see how Shellie got Marty on America’s Got Talent, here is Marty Brown performing a song he wrote for his wife, “Whatever Makes You Smile.” On YouTube, he writes that he wrote the song as a Valentine’s Day present, citing the lines “Like the tin man, the lion, and the scarecrow,/ I’ll follow you down life’s Golden Road./ Whatever makes you smile!!” There is no fancy production, just a man and his guitar giving a nice performance of another excellent Marty Brown unreleased original.

    If you would like to hear Marty Brown doing a cover song, in this video he sings the Neil Diamond classic, “Forever in Blue Jeans.”
