Wowza. Killing it

Forever ago, Edwin McCain did a small set in St Louis as part of a fundraiser for our children’s hospitals. I was volunteering when he came in. He’s… he’s just a good guy. He was as sweet and goofy, then as he seems to be now. The line “I’ll be better when I’m older“ became so heartbreaking to me as some of the kids that he interacted with, and played for, never made it to adulthood. Bittersweet memories. His heart and kindness will always be remembered, in addition to his voice. I love every aspect of this song, and the bassist’s harmonies are perfect

Somethings not right: this dude (with no autotune) should have a 1000 hits with that voice. Brilliant. Dude, record some more!!

[@jamiemadore4283]

He kind of explains this in an interview just before he played the Opry a few months ago

[@ryanslings6234]

Fame isn't fun for most people. He got incredibly rich from his single smash hit, as a fellow musician I can testify that being recognized everywhere would get old really quickly. He made the best decision for himself letting his fame career go.

[@SouthernSkeptic]

His voice is unbelievable.

[@skydriver5709]

@steve58133 He left music after he had kids and decided to focus on being a Father and Husband. His kids are grown now, and he's back making music... but he's a talented singer and song writer, so the music audience today has little interest. Kids today like autotune and guys who sound like SOY when they sing.

[@alika207]

He also made the conscious choice to not do what you need to do to maintain the career of a huge star. He is perfectly content being a singer songwriter for fans of indie artists.

[@likhabathala5312]

"I'll be better when Im older" One of the best songs ever written...its 2019 and im still here,anyone?

As a rule, the "Bass Player" is usually the most underrated member of any band... with the rare exception of Paul MacArtney , Sting ....and this guy

[@dasadist22]

+Halabira Lapu-Lapu Sting was the most important guy in his band - while McCartney was the 2nd most important guy in his band. According to some - the most important guy.

[@FiverThrash]

+Donnie Williams Very true, Pomar should make it really big himself!

[@cherylb5680]

[@arglemendoza994]

I just passed by to say "FLEA" Common guys. Youre talking about bass without Flea?

[@rodneymcintire739]

As a rule, the bass player is the least talented musician in the band. Most of them would choose to buy weed over new strings. This guy is one of the exceptions that prove the rule.
