![]() Lee Sims (from the album A Few More Miles to Go available as a self-release) Uncomplicated words and an easy delivery dig deep roots in the songs of Lee Sims, his stories making front page news of men and women living life outside of daily headlines. Without veering into sensationalism, Lee Sims champions the lives of working men and women with his recent release, A Few More Miles to Go. In its formative years, Country music was centered on the lives of folks that lived away from city lights. If rural living was the target, Lee Sims hits a bullseye with A Few More Miles to Go. The road under Lee Sims wheels keeps time with a tune that points at the album title, “Just a Few More Miles” moving to the echo of tires hitting blacktop and holding tight to keep the beat while an electric guitar knocks open the door to A Few More Miles to Go. Lee Sims takes the stage with the first cut, backed by a soundtrack of honky tonk Rock’n’Roll he claims a night out as his birthright with “Live Myself to Death Before I Die”. Putting a face to the term Cowboy Crooner, Lee Sims uses his sturdy baritone to build tales of the American West, his stories telling tales of treachery (“Barber Creek Road”), white hat heroes healing hearts (“I’m Gonna Let You Down”), open roads (“Highway to Heaven”), simple pleasures (“Champagne in a Dixie Cup”), and country wisdom (“When Noah Built the Ark”). A Few More Miles to Go takes time to address social issues such as addiction in “Alcohol of Fame” as it paints a picture of love being “Colorblind” while the night sky over Wyoming watches a lover coming back home when Lee Sims cruises by the light of “Big Blue Moon”.
