Chuck Wicks Music Review

Chuck Wicks is a country music singer/songwriter straight out of Nashville, Tennessee. He started his career on March 28, 2006. Although his music career started in Nashville, Tennessee, he was raised in Smyrna, Delaware. When he was young he dreamed of becoming a famous baseball player until he moved down south for college. His senior year in Florida Southern College that his desire to play music eclipsed his athletic aspirations. At first he started off poorly and did not end up releasing an album and realized that it took more then just talent to succeed in the country music world. Although he was not doing as well as he expected, giving up never crossed his mind. Instead of giving up he took the next couple of years writing songs and honing his skills alongside Music Row writers such as Monty Powell and George Teren. He needed to get a job so he ended up with a job of parking cars and ironically some of the cars he parked belonged to famous songwriters who taught him how to put a pen to a paper and write a song. Chuck's perseverance payed off when landed a deal with RCA records and began working on an album with Monty Powell and Dann Huff. His very first single was "Stealing Cinderella" which got people who had never heard of Chuck to want to hear more of his stuff and that is just what they did. Chuck's next big single was called "All I Ever Wanted" and this is what Marilyn Haney had to say about the song: "I liked it very much. It had a great beat - very danceable music! I have heard it on country radio stations a few times and it's a good song. The only thing I found that was wrong with it was that he repeated 'All I ever wanted' a little too much throughout the song. But I would rate the song an 8 out of 10 overall. And he is good looking too; I predict he will go pretty far in his career". Even though he's not the best I'm sure his career is far from over.
