Intro by Gene Johns 

Alex Miller’s More Country Than You is his second full-length studio album, and it contains this week’s Essie Country Song of the Week, “Just a Mom.”

“Just a Mom” is the perfect song to honor all the moms out there who are “just moms.” But as the song makes clear, being “just a mom” is anything but simple. It’s a full-time, multitasking job built on love, sacrifice, patience, and devotion.

In 2021, Alex Miller appeared on American Idol, where he was eliminated during Hollywood Week. Perhaps Alex was “too country” for American Idol—but not for Essie Country. His traditional country voice, combined with the fiddle and steel guitar, makes this week’s selection an easy choice for Essie Country’s Song of the Week.

Alex Miller is not just another singer, and this week’s selection is not just another song featured by Essie Country. Both represent what Essie Country is all about: real country music with heart, honesty, and tradition. More importantly, “Just a Mom” is the perfect song to recognize and honor moms this Mother’s Day.
