NASHVILLE, Tennessee, February 8, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new country music star has been born - and with a pro-life ballad, no less, that is steadily climbing the country music charts.
Matt Kennon’s debut hit single “the Call” has risen to No. 39 on the Billboard 200 list of top country music hits and packs a compelling pro-life, or what some may call a “whole life," message.
Accompanied by his guitar, Kennon sings about the lives of two individuals that would have ended very differently without the timely intervention of a phone call. The music video for “The Call” – already played on Country Music Television – captures even better the happiness in so many lives that would never have happened without “the call.”
The first part of the song focuses on a young man – a despairing U.S. Marine in the music video – on the cusp of pulling the trigger of his gun to take his own life. Just then, a friend calls his cell phone and asks him to come along for a motorboat outing. The friend tells him that the girl he likes will be there, and that she was excited to learn that he might join them. The friend says, “You better not miss it ´cause buddy I swear / It won´t be the same / If you ain’t there.”

He’s pretty awesome...
Lil’ Rodi’ (I think that’s how you spell it) did a concert at my youth church a few months ago.
There’s more out there, you just have to look for them.
Great stuff.
This is a little off topic but have any of you heard of RFD-TV? I just ran across this on another website. They have country music and other things that are of interest to people in rural communities.
