Meet Christoph Shows: Voice of the Southern Fried Hott Country© Soundtrack to the Soul

“It’s been a long road—and I’ve walked every mile.”

For over a decade, I lived in Ukraine, creating across borders and mediums—as a freelance voice actor, copywriter, graphic novelist, and writer of international stage shows, from acrobatic thrillers to breathtaking aquatic performances. But deep down, through all the journeys, one creative flame never stopped burning:

My first love was Country Music.

It took me two years to find my voice again, but I kept hearing the wisdom of my high school choir teacher, the unforgettable Mrs. B. She taught us that the real instrument was inside us—our voice—and everything else was just accompaniment. She believed in precision, rhythm, harmony, and heart. And thanks to her, I remembered how to rise above the noise.

So thank you, Mrs. B—wherever you are!

From Ukraine’s Front Lines to Nashville Dreams

After thirteen life-changing years in Ukraine—three of them spent in the shadow of war, deep behind the Red Line—I faced a moment of reckoning. I had to make an impossible decision: leave the country and my son behind, not to abandon him, but to build a better life for him in the USA. Due to tightening legal constraints, my only option was to leave… so I could one day bring him with me.

With that heartbreak came a gift: the chance to let all my creative work finally breathe.

Creating Through Crisis

Trapped by conflict but not by spirit, I turned inward. Over the last three years, I’ve thrown myself into everything I dreamed of doing my whole life. I threw myself into writing graphic novels, creating aquatic and acrobatic stage productions, Creating movie screenplays, and finally coming home with country music ready to share with good fans.

From a well of pain, purpose, and passion, I wrote the songs in this book:
The Heart of Christoph Shows’ Southern Fried Hott Country© Album 1 and 2. (More on the way)

A Songbook With Soul—and a Mission

These aren’t just songs. They’re stories. Memories. Messages to my son.
This Country Songbook is more than art—it’s a legal and personal archive, a declaration of copyright, and a heartfelt offering to artists, producers, and fans looking for something raw, real, and rooted.

I’m coming back to the U.S. to record with my band, perform live, and connect with those who love true country storytelling. These tracks—and more—will soon be available for purchase and performance on major platforms like iTunes, Spotify, and beyond.

Can We Dance© (Album #1 Title Track)

This image describes the frustration of a young man who doesn't know how to ask the prettiest girl in the room to dance with him.
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

At a small-town country dance hall in Tennessee, a lonely man catches sight of a woman across the room. She’s a stranger, but in his mind, a whole story unfolds. He imagines walking up, flashing a shy smile, and asking her to two-step across the worn wooden floor.

But reality holds him back. A band isn’t playing, it’s just an old jukebox humming a good tune. He’s still on his stool, watching from a distance. His heart aches with both hope and hesitation. All he wants is the right song… the right rhythm… and the right moment to ask:

“Can we dance”©

It’s a story of longing, timing, and the kind of night that slips away too fast. All he hopes for is one dance before it’s too late.

Backstory:
I remember sitting at a table watching people get up and dance to good songs played from a juke box. I would wrestle with the thought of getting up and asking some nice looking girl across the room if she’d like to dance but I wasn’t that good at it. Half of me just said, “Get up! Go over there and ask her.” and the other half wanted to plan it all out first. By that time the song would be over and people would sit down. The utter awkwardness of simply being alone when I wanted to meet someone was that one battle I used to have with myself. Here’s my version of asking someone to dance. It was usually all in my mind.

This image illustrates the difference between the business world and a cowboy world. He tells her how nice it would be if the simple life could be lived by both of them.
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

That’s How This Cowboy Rolls©

In this upbeat, toe-tapping anthem, a confident cowboy sits across from a worn-out businessman at a lunch table at a roadside diner. One man living fast, the other living right. The businessman is glued to his phone, talking numbers, chasing deadlines, and barely catching his breath. He’s so caught up in the grind that he’s drifting from the things that matter, especially his wife.

The cowboy leans in with a grin and offers a different way of life. He’s no slacker. He gets the job done. He does it with balance, heart, and a deep respect for the quiet moments: time with loved ones, a good meal, a long ride under the open sky.

This song is a reminder that success doesn’t have to mean sacrifice, and that slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind.

This image is about the story of a man with a broken heart who meets a Cajun girl.
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

Conac, Beer, and Angel Eyes©

Set deep in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, this song tells the story of a 25-year-old country boy who’s lived his whole life in the same quiet holler—until one unforgettable night shakes things up.

At a local bar, fresh off a heartbreak, he meets a mysterious Cajun woman who seems like just a friendly waitress at first. “What’re you drinking?” she asks, with a glint in her eye. Before he knows it, they’re cruising down to the Hiwassee River, trading swigs of cognac and beer, diving off high banks into moonlit water, and laughing like old friends.

She tells him she’s a barrel racer at the county fair, but in that moment, he’s not asking for credentials—he’s just soaking in the feeling of being alive again.

By morning, she’s gone, like a dream that left its mark. But she helped him forget his pain, if only for a night, and that means something.

Now, he leaves a message for every country boy:
If you ever meet a Cajun woman with angel eyes… tell her I said hello.”

Kill Me in Love

About a cowboy in love with his girl. He'll do anything for her.
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

Kill Me in Love©

This slow-burning love song is made for swaying on the dance-floor of a dimly lit country bar, boots sliding gently across the hardwood, hearts beating close.

It opens with the words:
Kiss me once, kiss me twice, I’ll be dancing with you tonight.”
Right from the first line, it’s clear—this isn’t just a dance, it’s a surrender.

He’s not holding anything back. Whatever it takes, however it works, tonight is all about falling—falling into each other’s arms, her eyes, their love.

There’s passion here, but also deep vulnerability. A sense that if loving her breaks him, so be it—because some things are worth the fall.

“Kill Me in Love©” is a tender, romantic ballad about giving yourself over completely, wrapped in the soft glow of a neon jukebox and the warmth of someone who just might be your forever.

I Wanna Love You©

I Wanna Love You©

This is the kind of song that only comes from deep inside a man’s soul—when he’s met the one.

He knows she’s the woman he wants beside him for the rest of his life. But when he tries to tell her, the words fall short. His heart is full, but his voice gets caught somewhere between fear and hope.

So he does what he knows best: he writes it all down. Every word, every feeling, every quiet promise.

This song is his love letter, his way of saying,
“I want to give you everything—my heart, my life, and my soul.”

Gentle, honest, and full of devotion, “I Wanna Love You©” is the sound of a man laying it all on the line for the woman he can’t imagine living without.

Christoph Shows

Letter to Annie©

Some songs aren’t imagined—they’re remembered.

“Letter to Annie©” is a deeply personal ballad, reaching back 40 years to a quiet night in Millington, Tennessee. Christoph Shows was sitting in a little  redneck bar called “Driftwood” when he met Annie—a tired waitress with a spark in her eyes and dreams too big for the life she was living.

She opened up to him, telling her story—the kind of dreams country girls whisper to the stars: a log cabin in the mountains, a horse named Wildfire, and a love that felt real.

That night, Christoph went home and put it all into a song—her words, her hopes, and the quiet love that had begun to grow in the space of a single conversation. He always thought he’d go back and find her, tell her he had the same dream, that maybe they could build it together.

But he never saw her again.

Now, decades later, this song is the letter he never got to send. A message sealed in melody, ending with the words:
Oh Annie, I’m writing a letter to you. Oh Annie, I love you.

Somebody Better is about a girl who has found her independence over her lover who has treated her bad.
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

Somebody Better©

Somebody Better© is a fiery, no-nonsense country anthem for every woman who’s ever loved a cowboy that didn’t love her right.

She gave him her heart again and again. All he did was crush it under his boots. But not this time. This time, the door slams in his face and stays shut.

With sharp lyrics and a sassy edge, the song drives home the truth:
“She needs someone who won’t tear her heart and drop her in the street. She deserves somebody better. Somebody she can keep.”

This isn’t a breakup ballad—it’s a turning point. She’s burned his fake love letters, stopped waiting on the porch for a truck that never stays, and started sleeping through the night knowing she’s finally done.

“Somebody Better©” is equal parts revenge, release, and redemption—with a catchy, satisfying rhythm that leaves you cheering for the woman who finally chose herself.

Southern Fried Country©

Turn it up, stomp your boots, and let the sparks fly. “Southern Fried Country© is the opening anthem that kicks off every Christoph Shows concert with a bang.

This hand-clappin’, foot-stompin’, high-octane country rock track sets the stage for the whole band: Christoph Shows’ Southern Fried Hott Country© Music.

It’s all about the magic of Friday nights in the country—when the work week’s done, the trucks are lined up, and the bonfire’s burning hot. With his best girl in the passenger seat and the music cranked loud, the night is wide open for dancing, laughing, and living free under the stars.

A celebration of small-town roots, good friends, and after-hours fun. This song captures the spirit of youthful Southern nights.

It’s loud, proud, and unmistakably… Southern Fried Country©.

Pitching Corn, Making hay in the field. Cowboys, and Country girls want to cut loose and relax. The singer wants to PLAY his guitar!
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

Sundown Saturday Night©

The work week is finally over, and for this country boy, that means one thing: it’s time to kick back and let loose. Sundown Saturday Night© captures the feeling of freedom that comes when the last chore is done and the sun dips low behind the barn.

This song is a celebration of small-town nightlife—the kind that only happens after a week of honest, back-breaking work on the ranch. The air is electric with anticipation as boots hit the floor and guitars get tuned up. Friends pile into pickups, the neon lights flicker on at the local bar, and it’s time for cold beer, live music, and a little trouble in the best way.

The bridge brings the night to life with a playful snapshot of the crew:

“Bubba’s got his pool cue, Maria wants to dance,
Jethro’s doing shotguns, hoping he’s got a chance.
Maybe he’ll get lucky, maybe I will too
It’s a Sundown Saturday Night©, you know what I wanna do… I wanna play!”

This track is a loud, heart-pumping anthem for every hard-working cowboy who lives for that one wild night a week. It’s about friendship, flirtation, and the pure joy of playing music to a crowd that feels like family.

A barn-burner of a tune with heart, humor, and honky-tonk heat—Sundown Saturday Night© is what country living sounds like when the lights go low and the amps go up.

Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

This Cowboy’s Comin Home©

Sometimes chasing freedom means finding out what you left behind.

“This Cowboy’s Comin’ Home©” tells the story of a strong, independent cowgirl who struck out on her own to ride the ranches and make her own way. Life out there was harder than she imagined. The work was rough, the friendships false, and the miles between her and the ones she loved felt longer every day.

In the quiet of her heart, she realizes she’s done living the cowboy life alone. The rodeo dust, the distant towns, and the lonesome sunsets can’t compare to the warmth of family and the one man who always believed in her.

She’s traded the wide open range for something deeper—belonging.

With a tender chorus that speaks of healing and return, she sings:
“Home is where I belong… This cowboy’s coming home, that part’s true.”

A powerful homecoming ballad full of grace, grit, and country soul.

Dancing in the Rain©

Some love stories never grow old.

“Dancing in the Rain©” is a soft, romantic two-step for lovers swaying across the dance floor. But it’s more than just a song—it’s a memory. A memory passed from a grandmother to her grandson, about when she met the love of her life.

She tells of a walk at the playground, how the rain started as a sprinkle, then poured down heavy. While everyone else rushed inside for warmth, they stayed outside. He looked her in the eyes, pulled her close, and kissed her—soaked through, hearts pounding. That moment lit a spark nothing could put out.

As the chorus says:
“They were makin’ up their own kind of fire.”
And:
“Dancing in the rain, moving to the sound… Dancing in the rain—it’s the music of love.”

A story-song soaked in romance, memory, and the magic of love that braves the storm.

Gotta Let Her Go©

 

Forever Starts Now©

“Forever Starts Now©

A Song About That One Sacred Moment

In a quiet pasture under a fading Tennessee sunset, a cowboy takes a knee with dust still on his boots and love steady in his eyes. He’s not rehearsed. He’s not polished. One thing he is, he’s full of heart. Across from him stands the woman who’s held his world together, and in that moment, time stills. She gasps softly, tears catching the golden light, and all the noise of the world fades away.

This is real — not perfect, but perfectly them. No big crowd, no fancy words. Just love spoken plain and true. Their voices blend in a tender duet, hearts beating in time to the lines:
Take this ring and put one on my finger.
I’ll take your hand, give you my life.
We’ll do this thing. Baby, I love you, my heart’s beating true.
It’s called forever, I hope you never forget.
Forever starts now.”

The song is a vow. A moment that lives between two souls forever. No hesitation, no looking back — just a promise in the shape of a ring, and a forever that begins with a yes.

It’s about courage and commitment. It’s about that heartbeat moment when two lives become one.
This isn’t just a love song. This is the beginning of forever.

I’m In for the Fun©

A Song About Living Loud and Loving Every Second.

It’s a sun-drenched Tennessee summer, and there’s a teenager with mud on his boots, wind in his hair, and not a care in the world. He’s the kind of kid who doesn’t ask permission — he just leaps. From hay bales to high cliffs, he’s always chasing that rush. He dives off the bluffs of the Hiwassee River like he’s got wings, just to feel the air lift him before the splash. Then he surfaces with a grin that says, “Yeah, I did that.”

This song is a tribute to the ones who live wild, laugh loud, and take life head-on. He works hard — but don’t call it work. To him, even sweat and dirt feel like play. It’s not about being reckless… it’s about feeling alive. He says it best in the lyrics:

“Ain’t no sense in workin’ hard if you can’t have a little fun
Ain’t no sense if you think of it as work
It just makes it harder…”

He finds fun in everything — whether it’s fixing a fence, racing a four-wheeler through the mud, or standing on the roof of a barn just to feel the sunset better. He does it for the thrill, for the story, and because challenges make the best memories.

He’s not out to impress anyone. He’s out to live.
He’s in it for the fun. And he’s got the stories to prove it.

Missing the Flora-Bama in Florida
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

Flora-Bama in My Dreams©

Sometimes, when life’s moving too fast and work just won’t let up, there’s only one place to escape — even if it’s only in your dreams. That place? Flora-Bama.

This fun and feel-good track tells the story of a hardworking guy pulling double shifts at the factory, dreaming of white sand, cold beer, and that magical little stretch where Florida and Alabama meet. He’s never been there — yet — but it’s calling his name louder with every day on the job.

The beat keeps things light, rolling along with a laid-back groove in C major, giving it that breezy beach-bar feel. And when the chorus hits with full backup vocals, it’s like the doors swing open and the party starts.

Flora-Bama / I hope you’ll wait for me / Flora-Bama / You’re not like Tennessee…

He might be sweating in the sun, hauling overtime hours, but he’s saving every dime and chasing the dream — one happy tune at a time. And when he finally gets there? He hopes to meet someone special, dance in the sand, and raise a toast to the life he worked for.

This one’s for everyone who’s ever been stuck at work, staring out the window, and smiling at the thought of where they really want to be.

Flora-Bama may be far… but in this song?
It’s just a heartbeat  and a dream away.

Seventeen

Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

Seventeen©” is a ride straight through the heart of small-town youth — that golden season when life was fast, free, and full of fire. Set to a steady, feel-good country rhythm, this track looks back on Friday night lights, first loves, tailgate laughs, and beach days that seemed to stretch forever.

It opens with snapshots of teenage freedom: bonfires and fast romance, football games, and dancing under the stars. It’s about more than memories — it’s about wanting to feel it again. The chorus brings it home with an invitation: hop in the truck, crank up the Skynyrd©, and let’s live like we did back when we were seventeen.

There’s a gentle ache in the bridge — a recognition that time moves on — but it’s met with a spark of hope. The author of Seventeen© is ready to relive those glory days with the same heart, the same wild spirit, and the same girl by his side.

Full of vibrant imagery, roaring instrumentals, and honest storytelling, Seventeen© is a song for anyone who’s ever wished they could rewind the clock — not to change anything, just to feel that magic one more time.

Seventeen© captures the ache and the joy of remembering—and reminds us that the best times don’t have to stay in the past. Sometimes, they live on in a song.

Let’s do it again… like we were seventeen.”

When you ask for a True Cowboy, be prepared to have one you're worthy of.
Written and Produced by: Christoph Shows

True Cowboy©

“True Cowboy©” was born from a quiet moment scrolling through social media. Christoph saw a post where a woman described her idea of the perfect man — tough, rugged, all cowboy on the outside. But that sparked something deeper.

I started thinking… the perfect man isn’t just about what’s on the outside. It’s about what he carries on the inside — his heart, his character, his consistency. A real cowboy doesn’t just wear the image; he lives it.

True Cowboy© speaks to the soul of what it means to be a man – not just a cowboy in boots and denim. He’s a partner who’s honest, solid, loving, and real.

This isn’t about belt buckles or rodeo posturing. This is about integrity. Devotion. A heart that holds steady when the storms come. A man who’s strong enough to love fiercely and gentle enough to listen closely. A man who shows up, not just in moments that shine, but in moments that require quiet courage.

For the woman searching for more than just charm or flash — True Cowboy© is her reminder:

Look under the skin… That’s where a True Cowboy© begins.

Who I Am© “Who I Am©” is not just a love song. (Wide 3D view) It’s a revelation. In this tender, heartfelt duet, a woman looks at her partner and feels a truth she doesn’t have to speak “When he touches me, I’m not afraid.” His love is her safe place, and her strength. Cowboy and cowgirl with microphones in their hands, singing a duet on stage with a band behind them, and a spotlight on them. Hold the hand of the one who holds your heart. This is… Who I Am©.

Who I Am©

“Who I Am©” is not just a love song. It’s a revelation.

In this tender, heartfelt duet, a woman looks at her partner and feels a truth she doesn’t have to speak “When he touches me, I’m not afraid. His love is her safe place, and her strength. The reminder of her worth. Across that same invisible line of soul connection, he feels the same. “When she calls my name, when she reaches for him”, he’s not just seen — he’s known.

Through male and female perspectives woven together in perfect musical symmetry, this ballad becomes a mirror — gently asking you: Have you found the one who reminds you of who you are?

Together, they sing the kind of truth many people spend a lifetime chasing: that real love doesn’t demand masks, doesn’t play games, and doesn’t hide in shadows. It lifts. It heals. It reminds you of who you are.

It’s more than a melody — it’s a movement. A reminder that love, in its truest form, doesn’t complete us… it reflects the very best of us.

This song is raw and vulnerable, yet strong and grounded — like the kind of love it celebrates. With honest verses, a swelling, harmony-laced chorus, and a bridge that sounds like a quiet vow spoken between two people who finally found “the one,” Who I Am© becomes a message for every listener who’s ever longed for love that feels like home.

So close your eyes. Hold the hand of the one who holds your heart. And listen.

Because this is what love really sounds like.
This is… Who I Am©.

Just Go Country©

A Country-Rap Anthem for the Soul

In today’s fast-moving world — from the boardrooms of Alabama to the traffic jams of Washington — stress stacks high and time runs short. Between meetings, deadlines, stocks, and responsibilities, we forget what we’re made of. We lose our roots. We lose our rhythm. We lose our hair!
That’s where Just Go Country© comes in.

Blending country music’s heart with a lively rap delivery, this track is a modern-day reminder to pause the hustle and get back to what matters. With catchy verses, foot-stomping beats, and rich vocal harmonies, the song tells a story of reclaiming your joy through the things that really feed the soul: bonfires, fishing, back roads, barbecue, mountain air, river dives, and barefoot dancing in green fields.

It’s a song for every hardworking soul who’s ever looked in the mirror and asked yourself, “Where did I go?”
The answer, simple and true:
“Just go country©.”

Whether you grew up in Tennessee or drink your coffee in a high-rise on the West Coast, there’s a country heart beating inside you. This song isn’t just music — it’s medicine for the stressed and the weary. A beat, a breath, and a truth:

“Everybody’s got a country soul,
Just Go Country©.”

 Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I want to thank God for the gift of music, storytelling, and the Southern spirit that flows through every song in this book. Without faith, the true grit of the cowboy spirit, and the inspiration drawn from life’s trials and triumphs, these songs wouldn’t exist.

To the friends who’ve heard these songs before they were finished, who sat with me by the campfire, rode shotgun down country roads, or just handed me a cold beer and said, “Play that one again” — THANK YOU. You helped make these songs real.

To the hardworking cowboys and country girls who live this life for real — this book is for you. If one line from one song in here reminds you of your own story, then I’ve done my job.

To the music artists, producers, and publishers who may one day carry these songs forward: I wrote these with open hands and open ears. May you find your voice in these words, and may we make something honest, powerful, and lasting — together.

Finally, to you, the reader — thank you for opening this book. Whether you’re here for inspiration, collaboration, or just to feel something familiar, I hope you find a bit of Southern soul and truth in every page.

With deep gratitude,
Christoph Shows
