| By: Alonzo | H.R. No. 137 | |
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Dallas singer-songwriter Scott Dean is celebrating | ||
| the completion of his first collection of country music with a CD | ||
| release party in Fort Worth on July 27, 2013; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Active on the Texas music scene for nearly a decade | ||
| as Scott Dean McCurry, Mr. Dean previously focused on playing | ||
| contemporary rock and roll with a wide range of stylistic | ||
| influences; he released four studio albums before recording his new | ||
| country EP, Re-Shuffle, under a shorter version of his name to avoid | ||
| confusion with another performer with a similar moniker; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Dean grew up listening to country music and has | ||
| been inspired by the works of such artists as the Flying Burrito | ||
| Brothers and Jerry Jeff Walker; in recording his country debut, he | ||
| maintained his allegiance to upbeat melodies, high-energy songs, | ||
| and memorable lyrics, as is evident from the title of the first | ||
| single from the release, "Hungover All Over Again"; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through his musical endeavors, Scott Dean is | ||
| contributing to the cultural vibrancy of the Lone Star State, and he | ||
| is indeed deserving of recognition as he embarks on the next | ||
| exciting chapter of his career; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Scott Dean on | ||
| the release of his country music debut and extend to him sincere | ||
| best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Dean as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
