“Wonders” is written and performed by Steve Rutledge. Aside from being one of the most talented guitarist around (he was recently honored at 2011 NAMM’s All-Star Guitar Night), Steve is a talented singer and songwriter. In fact, there’s not much Steve can’t do! He produces, plays guitar, bass, keyboard, sings, and writes. He has played for audiences worldwide and shared the stage with artists like: Steve Holy, Trace Adkins, Reba, Emerson Drive, Jake Owen, Heidi Newfield, Trick Pony, Toby Keith, Monte Montgomery, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, John Michael Montgomery, Montgomery Gentry, John Fogerty, The Eagles, Lonestar, Lee Ritenour, James Burton, Jack Pearse, Seymour Duncan, Rick Vito, Muriel Anderson, James Otto, Big and Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Keith Anderson, Mark Wills, Jo Dee Messina, Kelly Pickler, Taylor Swift, Michael English and many more. Steve’s, also, a good friend of mine who has just released this new single to radio.
“Wonders” is an uptempo, optimistic song. It’s the type of song that just builds and builds. Ever since I first heard it 3 years ago, I have loved this song and hoped that more people could hear it. Steve Holy did release it with has most recent album, but it’s good to hear Steve Rutledge‘s version.
This song is special to me for good reason. It helped me through a very dark time in my life and gave me that little bit of hope that I needed at the time. Honestly, I can’t help, but tear up each time I do hear it. Not because it’s sad, it’s far from it, but because of what this song means to me. I’ve mentioned in the About section of this site that music has helped me through some difficult times in my life and why I do this music blog. This is one of the reasons right here. “Wonders” is a song that helped me through my darkest hour when I was diagnosed with MS back in May of 2009. I’ll never forget when Steve performed at a benefit that was held for me and sang this song. He and several other close friends came together to give me hope to get through that time by organizing a benefit for me. So, it’s a very emotional and meaningful song to me.
Anyway, it’s well-done and I hope you’ll check it out. If you feel so inclined, be sure to check it out at radio!
