Out Of Your World
Copyright 2017 J. Merritt & B. Merritt

This is a newly tweaked version of Out Of Your World first posted 8 years ago. It’s one of the few J&B country songs we were still creating at the time (although Janice’s accent causes some folks to think all we do is country. 😂 )

We came to PG Music in 2011 as longtime band members playing bluegrass and acoustic country although throughout those decades we enjoyed blues rock and Americana. Genres that BiaB has allowed us many fun years of creating songs as we drifted further from country.

Back in 2017 we heard a new album by Mark Chestnutt and after years of hearing only “bro’ country” we loved the album as it harkened back to the heights of the George Strait and Alan Jackson years.

So our writing this tune was a result of hearing that release. The album contains a song that begins with a long chorus and then a short verse - a structure we used for this write. Oh, “Jack and coffee?” Think bourbon. smile

So here’s Janice … The Country Side. Those not on the forum then might find it interesting after all our blues productions. Thank for anyone’s time to listen and comment and for tolerating my ramble. And to PG Music as always. Lyrics on SC.
