Why Chris Janson’s 'Holdin’ Her; is the Love Song Country Music Has Been Waiting For

Every now and then, in the midst of modern country music, you find a true gem. A song that provides such strong imagery, gives you goose bumps, and brings you to tears is a rarity these days, but Holdin’ Her by Chris Janson accomplishes just that. Holdin’ Her is a song that will make you want to fall in love, not just for a night, not just for the summer, but for a lifetime.   

This is the story of meeting a girl, falling in love, getting married, and having a family.  In fact it is a personal story that Jason co-wrote with James Otto about his own wife and family.   If the song alone doesn’t bring you to tears, the waterworks are sure to roll down your cheek when you watch the music video and hear Janson describe what the song means to him while images of him and his family roll on in the background.  

This is real.  This is raw.  This is what country music should be.
