When the guys in Eli Young Band were thinking about songs to put on their new Greatest Hits album,do you know that they actually had an album they released before they were signed to theBig Machine label group? And they decided to go back to that album and pick a couple of songsfrom there to put on the Greatest Hits. Now, the first one that we're going to play, it's calledSmall Town Kid. For anybody who grew up in a small town, this was Mike Eli's tribute to hissmall town upbringing. And more importantly, this song taught Mike something about himselfas an artist. Who I was in high school, where I grew up, like it felt very small town. Everybodyknew what was happening in everybody's lives. And everything was changing. And a lot of people weremoving there. They built this highway. And so the access to our town was just changing dramatically.And that was kind of like where I was going with writing that song. And then it ended up kind of,I think, being this ode to being proud of where you came from. But I think that that song for mewas my first outing of figuring out, hey, I can write a song. That's cool.Like I said, this song was off of Eli Young Band's very first album back in 2005. It was called Level.This is Small Town Kid and you'll find it on This Is Eli Young Band Greatest Hits, which is available now.
