The “Weekly Whatever”
In the “Weekly Whatever,” Dave picks a song that’s really good, and worth a listen.
This week, “Burning House,” by Cam, is a double whammy: a powerful song sung with heartfelt sincerity. Poised to be a major Country hit in the final quarter of 2015.
About a woman who feels badly that she wasn’t so nice to her ex, and she wants to apologize.
Complex, abstract, creative lyrics with a sweeping melody, this is a song for people over 25 who can put together coherent sentences.
Singer/songwriter Cam is clearly an original talent, way above the fray of what’s currently hot, or not, in Nashville. In “Burning House” she gives the kind of performance that everyone who sees it knows right away she’s a star.
Born Camaron Ochs, Cam is a “California Girl,” with roots in San Francisco in the North and in Oceanside in the south.
She grew up listening to Classic County.
She studied abroad.
Best known for her Country hits “My Mistake” and “Burning House,” Cam is also well known as the writer of “Fall Madly in Love with You”, a track from Maggie Rose’s debut album as well as credited as the writer of “Maybe You’re Right” which is on Miley Cyrus’s 2013 Bangerz album.
