A Farmer’s Daughter {Crystal Bowersox Autographed Guitar Giveaway}

One of my favorite shows to watch is American Idol. I love watching someone with talent show the world how awesome they are. During the show they grow so much and America falls in love with them. I also love learning about the singer’s life and see how putting themselves on the line for one audition can make such a huge difference for not only them, but their family.

This last season we met Crystal Bowersox. Crystal, 25, is a singer-songwriter from Ohio. Before American Idol she was singing in local bars, train stations, and open mic nights. She even traveled internationally on a independent small cafe tour! Then American Idol took the dread-locked, folk singer to new heights.

Crystal was the runner-up on Season 9. Being the runner-up didn’t hold her back. In fact, most American Idol runner-ups aren’t held back…think about Clay Aiken, Katherine McPhee, David Archuleta, and Adam Lambert. Now we can add Crystal Bowersox to that list.

Crystal’s CD “Farmer’s Daughter” hits stores TODAY!! I received a sneak peek at this CD and it is REALLY good! The album features 8 songs written by Crystal, including “Holy Toledo”, the original song she performed on American Idol. It also includes “two co-writes, an additional track written by Kara DioGuardi and Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, an amazing Buffalo Springfield Cover, and the very special “Mason”, written by Crystal and her husband Brian.”

Once I learn all the words to all the songs I am really going to be rockin’ out to this CD. One of the best parts is that each song sounds different…something newer artists struggle with, I feel. Not Crystal, she shows her diversity on this CD, “Farmer’s Daughter.”

Track List:

1. Ridin With The Radio

2. For What It’s Worth

My favorites are Holy Toledo, Hold on, Speak Now, and Mason. This is definitely going to be a singing in the car staple! Just a heads up: This CD does have a few swear words on it. Crystal offers an explicit and edited version of the CD though so everyone is happy :)
