Emily is the real deal. She’s talented, a natural beauty and realy down to earth. She deserves any success that comes her way because she’s doing it the old fashioned way, earning it. No pop, over night success or reality, luck shows. She’s been in the studio for eight years mastering her craft and girl it’s paying off. You rock!

[...] added a new video to the review of Emily West’s single “Rocks In Your Shoes.” There are only a few noticeable cuts, which is pretty impressive for the number of settings and all [...]

The two songs may be similar, but I think Emily’s song is more engaging. I never really took to “If You’re Going Through Hell” too much, but I really like “Rocks In Your Shoes”, though I won’t argue it’s lack of originality.

Hi Opry girl Em, thanks again for the comment on myspace!
You rock! I was wondering earlier what vitamins you are taking because the completed “Rock In Your Shoes” video really took a lot of energy. I burn calories just watching you get around in that video.
Still posting for you on CMT message boards though it is a little lonely over there. We need more fans to post for you.
You are a natural on the Opry – I so enjoyed the two times I was able to listen on line to you. I also hope you did not get your car towed? lol.

I agree with you, Stephen. The verses of “Rocks in Your Shoes” are pretty much identical to the chorus of “If You’re Going Through Hell.” I’m surprised no one else mentioned the similarity on this thread.

Dave, the only issue I have with this song is it’s content-wise, melody-wise, and in other areas very similar to your “If You’re Going Through Hell.” I was able to sing the words of IYGTH, with that song’s melody, along with “Rocks” and it fit perfectly. So I’m surprised you and Tate cowrote it, as you really just took the earlier song and slightly tweaked it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad song by any means. Just a little too similar.

I’m a co-writer on Emily’s “Rocks In Your Shoes”. I’ve been writing in Nashville for 11 years now, and I have to honestly say you would be hard pressed to find a more talented artist. She just has that “it” factor. She can sing with the best of them, she is a wonderful writer. and she has more personality then the law should allow. If you get the chance to see her live, she and her songs will make you laugh out loud, be moved to tears, get chills and goose bumps, and leave you wanting more. All delivered with complete and utter genuine sincerity. And no, I’m not biased. Just honest.

I hope Emily hits it big, because she is absolutely amazing. She has the talent and the charisma to make it big. I love “Rocks In Your Shoes,” don’t get me wrong, but I think the song pales in comparison to some of her others: “Bulletproof”, “Blue Sky”, and “Mississippi’s Crying”, just to name a few. I saw her perform live in September at 3rd and Lindsley here in Nashville, and I think that her voice is so transcendent live and that the recordings, while amazing, don’t do her unique voice justice. You have to hear this girl live! I wish you the best, Emily!
