“Best of Intentions” – Travis Tritt Cover
A heartfelt tribute to a classic country ballad. This cover brings out the raw emotion, regret, and enduring love woven into every lyric of Travis Tritt’s original. With a 90s country soul and stripped-back sincerity, it’s a reminder that sometimes love is imperfect—but always honest.

Best Of Intentions

This is my cover of “Something Like That” by Tim McGraw. A nostalgic country favorite that captures love, youth, and unforgettable summer memories, I put my own heart into this version while honoring the spirit of the original. I hope it brings back good memories and makes you smile.

Something Like That

John Brasington writes with a heart full of scars and a soul that won’t quit. A South Georgia-based singer-songwriter whose roots run deep in honesty and raw emotion, John’s songs speak to redemption, heartache, and the quiet beauty found in pain. With a voice that carries both grit and grace, and lyrics that cut deep, his music feels like a late-night conversation with someone who’s been through it — and lived to sing about it. From haunting ballads to Southern-tinged anthems, every track is a piece of his story — real, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
