Texas music juggernaut Wade Bowen makes another impression on the American music scene with the release of his 2008 disc, If We Ever Make It Home. Ask Wade Bowen what distinguishes his music, and after mulling the notion for a minute, his answer is basic and direct: 'Intensity.' Bowen sings and writes with passion and fervent commitment about the matters that count in life with a depth of thought and palpable emotionality that hits listeners where they live and feel. His fervor is matched by rich melodies which are lyrical and musical hooks that grab the ears with imagination and don't let go.
