Jason Michael Carroll Stays True!

Youngsville native Jason Michael Carroll continues to see his star rise in the world of country music, with his debut album set to come out in stores in one week, his tune "Alyssa Lies" continues to climb into the Top Ten of the national country charts. But the tune might have taken a different turn had Jason not listened to his own heart.
It seems some folks in Nashville thought the tune was too dark and wanted him to rewrite it. Jason stuck to his own intuition and didn't change the song and now he's glad he did what he did.
Here's what Jason had to say,
They did. A couple people came to me and said, 'We want you to get with this writer, or that writer, and just try to fix it a littlebit.' And, it was exactly as it is today what everybody is listening to onthe radio." Jason Michael says he figures the reason for their concern was that the song was dark, without a happy ending. "So, finally I agreed to do it with one writer that I respected and I remember going into that session and five minutes before were to set down and start writing I said, 'Man I can't do this. This song is very important to me and it is what it is for a reason, I can't explain why but I don't think we need to touch it. I told him where I was coming from when I wrote it and he said, 'You know, I think you're right, we should just leave it alone."

Here's to Jason sticking to his own heart. Sometimes ya gotta go with your gut and Jason is as real as it gets. Plus he's got four kids. I can relate to that. I've got four of my own and know the responsibilities he's got.
Go for it Jason. Keep on keepin' on....and here's too many successes for a straight up fantastic triangle native.
