Voted  “Top New Male Vocalist” at the 37th Academy of Country Music Awards,  Phil Vasser has combined cut-to-the-heart songwriting with a solo  performance charisma that dazzles fans and critics alike. As a singer,  songwriter and performer, Vassar is artistically a triple-threat. He  first exploded up the charts and out of America’s radios with his  self-titled 2000 Arista Nashville debut. That CD yielded the #1 single  “Just Another Day in Paradise,” as well as the Top Ten hits “Carlene,”  “Rose Bouquet,” “Six-Pack Summer” and “That’s When I Love You.”

Vasser has shared stages  with the biggest names in country music including, Tim McGraw and Faith  Hill, Kenny Chesney and Jo Dee Messina. Vassar is a complete artist  whose performance rings true in every setting. He draws artistic  inspiration from his store of current and past experiences. His own  personal influences run the gamut of country, pop and folk, but  regardless of genre, they all share one commonality: honesty.

“The way I was raised was to be very thankful to this country for being   able to do our dream, which is music,” Cochran says. “So to stand up and defend   it? That’s our honor.”

Cochran joined the Marines’ light armored   reconnaissance division and headed straight to Iraq.   He returned safely, but wasn’t so lucky on his next overseas tour – to   Afghanistan. After losing a good   friend to enemy fire, Cochran returned home with a broken back.  He was   paralyzed for eight months.  After recovery, he had a newfound determination to   make his country music dream come true.

“I love the Marine Corps,” Cochran   says. “Everything they did for me structured my life and gave me the drive to   know that I can do anything I want to do.”

History of the song:  The song American Vet was first written in 1981 as a tribute to the Vietnam Veteran. Because of the Vietnam controversy for years no record company would publish the song.

Then in 1991, 10 years, after it was first written, the Gulf War came about and “D” changed the lyrics to American Vet. It was picked up by Major Chord Records.

D’s father Richard, was a sergeant in the Army-Air Corp for 4 years during War World II. While D’s mother, was the youngest and only daughter of 11 children. The military was a vehicle for her brothers to escape the poverty they grew up in and to receive an education on the GI bill. Eight out of the ten brothers served during War World War II while six of them were in combat. They fought in the South Pacific, Battle of Bataan, Italy, North Africa  the Battle of the Bulge and throughout Germany liberating several concentration camps.  Check out American Vet and  all of D,’ unique story telling, songs on CDbaby.com, ITunes.com, or Amazon.com.
