Eric Heatherly - "Flowers On The Wall"

[Deleted]

This peaked at #6 on both R&R and Billboard Country Charts in mid July of the year 2000. It was a cover of the Statler Brothers. It was a risky choice for a debut single but Eric owned it, creating a version that seemed more dark and moody than other versions (the way it is supposed to be). Sadly it was his only big hit as the two followups from his record missed the top 30. Eric and his label, Mercury Nashville, parted ways shortly after. Here is his first single that proves that Eric was a talent that the country genre should not have let go

I LOVE this song!! The radio station in my hometown used to play Eric's version all the time so I'm extremely fond of his. I agree that his has a dark and moody edge to it and it's wonderful. It really is a shame that Eric didn't make it in the business.

I loved listening to The Statler Brothers and their excellent harmonies as a kid and their original is killer too. I honestly can't say I love one version more than the other; I'm a huge fan of both equally for different reasons. It's definitely a timeless, classic song.
