Big Kenny - Walks The Talk - Follow His Search For A Friend In Haiti

Big Kenny doesn't just talk about loving everybody, he lives it. Big Kenny's been down in Haiti looking for a friend who's been missing since the earthquakes devastated most of the small island nation. Here's exactly why Big Kenny is down in Haiti via his Flickr account:

Big Kenny left for Haiti to join the search for his missing friend and the CEO of SunEPI , Walt Ratterman. Walt was promoting renewable energy projects in rural parts of Haiti and went missing after the January 12th earthquake.

Big Kenny arrived in the Dominican Republic along with a crew of 10 doctors and a rescue team. They crossed the border into Haiti and dispersed amongst the Port-au-Prince area providing aid and medical assistance along the way. Big Kenny is currently at the Hotel Montana, where Walt was last seen. He is along side the Virginia Task Force 1 (VATF-1), Fairfax County, Virginia's urban search and rescue team, who's plan is to stay until every human being is accounted for.

He continues to relay information and share photos from the disaster area.

Here are just a few of the photos Big Kenny is sharing from Haiti. In true Big Kenny style, he has chosen to focus on the positive things happening down there rather than the negative. God Bless you Kenny. You're definitely one of the good guys...

Album Review - Big Kenny's The Quiet Times Of A Rock And Roll Farm Boy

I'm really proud of Big Kenny.  His latest solo project, The Quiet Times of a Rock and Roll Farm Boy is receiving some well-deserved positive reviews.  While perusing Billboard.com today, I came across this review from a few weeks ago:

In many ways, Big Kenny and John Rich-who make up country duo Big & Rich-are the perfect couple. But Big Kenny's new album, "The Quiet Times of a Rock and Roll Farm Boy," is a thoughtful, often profound sojourn into musical independence-his former major label reportedly rejected every solo project he turned in. That frustration led to the defiant "Free Like Me," which warns, "Don't fit me inside your expectations/You'll never know everything I can be." Big Kenny's musical kinship with Rich is evident on "Wake Up," in which the singer demonstrates moving poetry and surprisingly head-turning lead vocals. 

The lead single, "Long After I'm Gone," is a midtempo stop-and-smell-the-roses anthem, while "To Find a Heart" may well be the album's sleeper hit. Sonically, "Farm Boy" puts the artist's influences on intriguing display (he cites Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, the Beatles, Queen, Bob Marley and Bill Withers, among others), yet manages the often elusive feat of a cohesive, articulate and entertaining experience from first note to last. --Wade Jessen

I love this album. It's actually one of my favorite albums of the year so far. What's even cooler is Kenny put together a video album featuring all of the songs. I featured it a few weeks ago, and if you missed it, I'd highly recommend you check it out.

If you don't own the album yet, I'd recommend you pick it up. It'd be a great stocking stuffer for Christmas.
