H.R. No. 137
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Dallas singer-songwriter Scott Dean is celebrating
the completion of his first collection of country music with a CD
release party in Fort Worth on July 27, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Active on the Texas music scene for nearly a decade
as Scott Dean McCurry, Mr. Dean previously focused on playing
contemporary rock and roll with a wide range of stylistic
influences; he released four studio albums before recording his new
country EP, Re-Shuffle, under a shorter version of his name to avoid
confusion with another performer with a similar moniker; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Dean grew up listening to country music and has
been inspired by the works of such artists as the Flying Burrito
Brothers and Jerry Jeff Walker; in recording his country debut, he
maintained his allegiance to upbeat melodies, high-energy songs,
and memorable lyrics, as is evident from the title of the first
single from the release, "Hungover All Over Again"; and
WHEREAS, Through his musical endeavors, Scott Dean is
contributing to the cultural vibrancy of the Lone Star State, and he
is indeed deserving of recognition as he embarks on the next
exciting chapter of his career; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Scott Dean on
the release of his country music debut and extend to him sincere
best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Dean as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
