Chris Gardner Drops New 14 Song Compilation “Second Helpings” Plus His Brand New Video “Hangin’ On The Line”

After 26 straight weeks on the charts at Roots Music Reports Chris Gardner entered into the studio and came away with another great release “Second Helpings”. The fourteen song compilation is jam packed with pure Americana including Chris’s fan favorite “Real American Hero”. The story of a man that keeps hanging in there through all of life’s trials because he is who he is, a real American hero. Also on the album is another fan favorite “Hangin’ On The Line” which Chris also released as an imaginative story telling video now featured on You Tube. Chris also teamed with two top singer/songwriters in their own right, Bert Wills on “A Girl Like That” and with Evelyn Rubio on “Miracles”. Altogether fourteen great tracks and not a clunker among them.
