During visits to the United States in 2012 – 2013 , Lee 's love of country music was reignited , after he saw the upsurge of a new generation of young country singers as crossover pop stars with a country flavour . Changing his name to '' ' Lee Matthews ' '' , he started giving gigs with a country flavour . He explains his decision in an interview with the '' Strabane Chronicle '' : In America I got a buzz from seeing the country scene explode with a new generation of young country artists making country cooler . When I got back to Ireland I was so excited to see that Derek Ryan and Nathan Carter were also making country cool again here in Ireland . It 's such a buzz to be back on stage again singing great songs that people love and enjoy dancing to . The people in Ireland appreciate good country music and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome . The first couple of gigs I did this year people were coming up and thanking me and just talking country music , it 's great . Later on in 2013 , he released " Sadie 's Got Her New Dress On " , a bluegrass classic by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver . Lee also released a music video that features Chloe Coyle . Lee followed that up with " That Country Girl " . On 8 February 2014 , Matthews launched a tour with a live band to promote his new country music career . In May 2014 , he released a charity single in support of the Join Our Boys Trust in Ireland , a charity for those suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy . The song " Love Shine a Light , is a cover of a Katrina and the Waves song , the UK entry and eventual winner of Eurovision Song Contest 1997 . It appears also on his 2014 album '' A Little Bitty Country ''
