Billy Crockett was a CCM singer-songwriter who played a concert at my college freshman year. I helped set up for the concert and got him to record some promos for the campus radio station. He was a really, really nice guy, so I bought his album. It’s not bad, but I kind of always wanted to like it more than I did because I liked him as a person more than I wound up liking his album. I have quite a few albums and books for which this is true.
