Richie Fields - "Devil In The Mirror"

As he proved with his first single “Man Enough To Cry,” (click here to read our review) Richie Fields was flat-out born to sing country music. With a voice that echos Conway Twitty, Ronnie Milsap, Jeff Bates and other soulful artists, Richie Fields proves that talented artists can find a way to get their music out to the masses, particularly with digital distribution now viable options.

Starting off with a swampy dark melody, Richie’s new single “Devil In The Mirror” grabbed my attention before a single lyric was sung. Using that melody as a backdrop, Richie sings a lyric that finds a man who’s struggling every day to fight the demons that that are often created by his own accord. There isn’t a person on earth, not even my saintly Grandmother, who cannot relate to these lyrics, particularly when they are paired with that sparse, just-right ominous melody. While this song will likely not get a true shot amongst the biggest hits of the day, that shouldn’t stop true-blue country fans from giving the talented Richie Fields a chance.

Of course it's pretty good. Too bad radio is likely to not give much of a damn outside of the secondary markets that are WAY more open to guys like Richie.
