Confucius had it right when he stated how “life is really simple,” so many years ago. And country singer Casey Dilworth is trying his best to live by those wise words today. Dilworth lives in Red Wing, Minnesota (Yes. That Red Wing, where the shoes come from) but travels to Nashville, Tennessee whenever it’s time to make music. Although Confucius never made a country record (that we know of), he would heartily agree with Dilworth’s many simple, but highly effective musical values. "I feel that you should try and put your personality and emotion into a song," explains Dilworth. And this artist means what he says, by mixing sincere feeling in with his refined country pipes on every song he sings. “If a song is kinda sad then you gotta kind of pretend you’re the person it’s talking about,” he continues. “In my mind, I’m the person in the song. If I’m singing a sad song, that’s a sad story, well, that’s me.” “The people who sing the songs that you like,” Dilworth continues, “the people singing them are into the song. They’re putting their personality and putting emotion into the song.” Although the vocal similarity may not be intentional, Dilworth’s voice many times sounds like Willie Nelson, one of the greatest song interpreters of our time. “For me, it was Waylon Jennings, Don Williams, Jim Reeves, and Merle Haggard,” Dilworth answers, when asked to name the singers that always put “their personality” and “emotion” into a song. All these musical heroes are natural storyteller
