Why We Dig Him: If the musicians on Jeremy's 'Smoke Wagon Serenade' sound familiar, it's because the young artist was fortunate to have Garth Brooks' band play on the album. He's got a lot of Garth's traditional western flavor, but the album is also peppered with classic country shuffle, Spanish flamenco and heartrending ballads. Jeremy also covers 'I Can't See Texas from Here,' which was written by George Strait.
