Greetings to fans of real country 

music, and welcome to this week’s 

Essie Country’s 21st Century Real 

Country Music Song of the Week,

for the week of 12/07/25 thru 12/13/25


Wrapped

by Logan Mize & Jill Martin

Released 12/01/2023

Intro by Gene Johns


“Wrapped” is an excellent Christmas holiday song to kick off Essie Country’s three-week celebration of the 2025 Christmas season. Logan and Jill blend 

Relaxed and harmonious vocals with the lyrics and melody of a song that will warm your heart like a crackling fireplace on Christmas Eve.


“Wrapped” is a love song wrapped in the magic of the Christmas season. It is one of the best new non-traditional Christmas songs I’ve heard in a long time. That’s why I’ve chosen “Wrapped” to be the first of three Christmas songs selected for Essie Country’s 21st Century Real Country Music Christmas Song of the Week, for the 2025 Christmas season. 

 

Cowritten with Daniel Agee and performed by Logan Mize & Jill Martin, “Wrapped” is one of those songs that will stay in your mind long after you’ve heard the last note. Go ahead, you can play it more than once, nobody’s watching. 

 

According to their website, The Mize’s, Logan Mize & Jill Martin, “…are a husband-and-wife country duo who have been married and making music for over 13 years. Their music is a blend of classic country western sounds with a modern twist.”

 

Cowriter Daniel Agee’s bio states, “He is a dynamic producer and writer (85 songs) who does it all from rock, pop, funk to country. Agee’s music can be heard in numerous ads, trailers/promos, TV, and Ads for T-Mobile and Walmart.”


Don’t get caught up in traditional Christmas songs and give a listen to “Wrapped.” The newest gift of real country music from Essie Country can be unwrapped by clicking on the link below.

Jupiter

Greetings to fans of real country music.  Essie Country’s 21st Century Real Country Music Song of the Week  “Jupiter” by Camryn Marie for the week of 11/02/25 - 11/08/25 Jupiter by Camryn Marie  Released 04/26/25 Intro by Gene Johns To be honest, I struggled with choosing “Jupiter” as an Essie Country’s 21st Century Real Country Music Song of the Week. Is it real country? When I first heard the song, I wasn’t sure. For me, the lyrics lean more toward pop than country.  The more I listened to it, the pop-flavored single gradually seemed more like a contemporary country song with just a touch of pop, perfectly crafted with 21st-century real country musicality. So, I am comfortable calling this song country.  “Jupiter” is an example of how a song can challenge the boundaries of authentic country music. Clearly, this song isn’t traditional country music. However, genuine country music doesn’t have to fit the strict definition that I usually promote in my advocacy fo...

Jack and Jill Daniels

Greetings to fans of real country  music, and welcome to this week’s  Essie Country’s 21st Century Real  Country Music Song of the Week, for the week of 11/23/25 - 11/29/25   Jack and Jill Daniel’s Cowritten & Performed  by Emily Ann Roberts Released 09/05/2025 Intro by Gene Johns   I’m sure you recall the nursery rhyme “Jack and Jill.” You know, it begins like this:  Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after   There are several claims about how the nursery rhyme originated, including one theory that suggests “Jack and Jill" satirizes King Charles I's attempt to raise taxes by lowering the volume of a "Jack" (1/8 pint) while keeping the tax rate the same, causing the "Gill" (1/4 pint) to "tumble after." But maybe, just maybe, “Jack and Jill” is about the story that Emily Ann Roberts sings about in this week’s Essie Country’s 21st Century Real Country Music Song of th...

Watching it Rain

Greetings to fans of real country  music, and welcome to this week’s  Essie Country’s 21st Century Real  Country Music Song of the Week, for the week of 11/30/25 - 12/06/25 Watching it Rain by Jesse Raub Jr Released 05/24/2024 Intro by Gene Johns Who would have thought that repeating the phrase “watching it rain” fifteen times in a song would make it a great song? Yes, I counted them. I’m retired, so I have the time to investigate such trivial things.   “Watching it Rain” is a catchy song written by singer-songwriter Joel Shewmake and performed by a real country artist, Jesse Raub Jr. I challenge you to listen to this song a second time and not sing along with “watching it rain.”   Jesse sings about lying in a river and watching it rain. I can relate to this song a little. It reminds me of the time I went whitewater rafting in eastern Tennessee.    When we started our six-mile river rafting adventure down the Pigeon River near Gatlinburg, Tennessee, we...
