Rory Feek is a country singer and songwriter who won a Grammy award. He's known for making music with his wife, Joey, in a group called Joey+Rory. Rory was born on April 25, 1965, in Atchison, Kansas. He started his musical journey a long time ago and has been making music for many years.

Rory and Joey became famous in 2008 when they joined a TV show called "Can You Duet" on CMT. Even though they finished third, people loved their music. After that, they became a well-known country music duo. They mixed traditional and bluegrass styles in their music and wrote songs with deep feelings and real stories.

Their first album, "The Life of a Song," came out in 2008 and got a lot of good reviews. They released more albums like "Album Number Two" in 2010 and "His and Hers" in 2012. These albums made them even more popular in the country music world. Their songs often talked about love, family, and life in the countryside.

Sadly, Joey Martin Feek, Rory's wife, passed away in March 2016 because of cervical cancer. Even after Joey was gone, Rory kept their music alive. He shared their story on his blog called "This Life I Live," where he wrote about their life on a farm in Tennessee and the hard times they faced.

Besides making music with Joey+Rory, Rory Feek released his own album called "Gentle Man" in 2021. He made this album after Joey passed away. The songs in it talk about everyday life, feeling sad, getting better, and finding hope. Rory worked with other famous country artists like Dolly Parton, Trisha Yearwood, and Allison Krauss on this album.

Rory Feek's music is honest, and he's really good at telling stories through his songs. He cares a lot about his faith, family, and the power of love.

Funny How Love Can Change A Man That Way is a song co-written by Rory Feek and long time friend Danny Potter. They performed this song on Larry's Country Diner but other than that, I don't believe Rory has ever recorded the song for an album or released it as a single, hence no album cover here.

5. Teaching Me How To Love You

teaching me how to love you rory feek

Teaching Me How To Love You is a track from the Joey And Rory album His And Hers which was released back in 2012.

To my knowledge this song was never released as a single.

The track has a laid back vibe using the rhythm pattern root down up root up down up in standard tuning. They recorded this with a capo on the 1st but that's always optional. A few riffs and a short picking sequence needed using the chords C, F, G, Am, Csus and a Gsus.
