Several months ago, I was browsing through a store and was drawn not to an article of clothing or darling home decor item, but to a voice I heard through the speakers. I had no problem carrying myself up to the cash register to ask the shop keeper exactly who was singing on her fabulous Pandora station.

His name is Coffey Anderson. And I think you should know him too. Not that it matters, but Coffey Anderson was also named “hottest country star 2017” by the experts over at Cosmopolitan magazine. So there’s that!

I like his country music, but I’ve been listening to his gospel album all weekend long. Here’s a sampling of what makes him so great. (PS: His acoustic stuff is my favorite.)
