Awesome Song Alert: Paul Eason – The Mountains of Nuevo Leon

I guess the salsa really is hot, huh??

My recent Awesome Song Alerts have a common thread that intertwines them together -  Simplicity.  Hayes Carll told us about a girl that he liked, but wasnt going to get in “Beaumont”.  Buddy & Julie Miller filled us in on what made moments of their past so precious, and with Paul Eason’s “The Mountains of Nuevo Leon”, we have a straight-forward country song that also sticks to the the beautiful basics of telling a story.  When Eason sings, “Sun is hotter here than the salsa/the salsa here dont mess around“, I cant help but hear a bit of Robert Earl Keen’s “Gringo Honeymoon”, also a laid-back Country-classic tale of living the simple life south of the border. With a voice that reminds me of a less hokey Roger Creager (no offense), Eason effortlessly delivers a song that simply will not get out of my brain!
