By all accounts, Kennedy is a man, and a songwriter, full of heart – which is probably one of the reasons he’s forged such a longstanding friendship with Walt Wilkins, a storied songwriter in the state and beyond, known as much for his poetic turns of phrase as the wisdom in them just the same. The only song on the record that Kennedy didn’t have a hand in writing is “Watch It Shine,” a track Wilkins wrote with Owen Temple. “The first time I heard Walt play this song, I was standing in the balcony at Dosey Doe in The Woodlands, Texas, during the start of one of our Traveling Red River Songwriters tours,” he says. The collective, now celebrating a decade as founding members of a festival in Red River, New Mexico, is made up of Kennedy, Wilkins, Kelley Mickwee, Josh Grider, and Susan Gibson. The group participates in a yearly tour across Texas, and each draws a number out of a hat to select the order of the show, and get up one by one until they’re all performing together on stage. https://drewkennedymusic.com/
