Brett Eldredge - Raymond (Video)

Feature Friday this week features a song called Raymond, by Brett Eldredge. I came across this song on Pandora a while back and really liked it. I found the music video on YouTube a few weeks ago. It seems to be the perfect Feature Friday song. Eldredge released his first single, "Raymond," on September 27, 2010. It debuted at number 52 on the Hot Country Songs charts dated for the week ending October 16, 2010. It peaked at number 23. Eldredge performed on the Grand Ole Opry for the first time on October 29, 2010. (Source)

 On a side note, has anyone else noticed artists sing at the Grand Ole Opry a lot sooner than they used to?

I have really been liking this song lately. It just seems to put everything into a great perspective as to what is really important.
