Editor's review
You may not know of Merrill Lane, but Nashville's heavy-hitters sure do. The accomplished country songwriter has penned tunes for -- or collaborated with -- everyone from Reba McEntire to Dolly Parton to Willie Nelson. But with his plaintive tenor and forlorn slide guitar, Lane deserves to take the spotlight of center stage.
