“Pick You Back Up”
Michael David Harrison feat. Beverly Crawford
Independent (release date: January 31, 2021)
By Robert M. Marovich
If the jaunty piano opening doesn’t wake the dead from their slumber, Beverly Crawford’s characteristic evangelistic vocalizing will do the trick.
Pick You Back Up” was produced by Linton Weems and penned by up-and-coming songwriter Michael David Harrison. Originally from Virginia but now living in Houston, Harrison mines that churchy traditional vibe to provide this unsubtle reminder that when you stumble and fall into the arms of the devil, the Lord is there to pick you up.
If you are listening to this track in your car, watch your speed limit.
