Holly Dunn - (It's Always Gonna Be) Someday - 1989
The late Holly Dunn was a special talent. She was a traditional country singer who entered the charts in the mid 1980's. Daddy's Hands is her signature song of course that helped fuel the new traditionalist movement, but this is my favorite. She along with Randy Travis, the late Keith Whitley and others about 1986 were laying the foundation for the class of 1989 that changed country forever. They should get far more credit than they do, as they were the ones that ushered out the pop country style that was tired. Dunn was a gifted singer and songwriter. I have stated before that if I could pick one soul to sing a sad country song, it would be the remarkable and emotive Holly Dunn. She was the ACM Top New Female Vocalist in 1987 and the CMA Horizon Award winner in 1988. This song goes right for the heart, and even though this peaked at #11 on the charts, this is a country "hurtin song" of the first order. This is direct, honest, to the point and very moving. I feel it's one of the most powerful performances for a female vocalist ever in our format. And Strangers Again aint' far behind. (Take a LIsten to that one too) This is traditional country perfection!
Holly Dunn Was Always Kind To Me
