The session for tracking this demo was fun. It has been awhile since I've used Joe Spivey on fiddle and Mike Johnson on steel. You don't find any better than those two! I had forgotten how much fun it is, and how much I love traditional country. This song was written in the hopes of pitching to artists such as Midland, Joe Nichols, Blake Shelton, etc.

Mid tempo song written in the styling of Merle Haggard, but with a retro Chris Stapleton feel. The picture is of my uncle Tom (on the right) who lives on his farm in Bradley, Arkansas and just turned 95 and still going strong.

I wrote this with Chris Hennessee and Jaron Boyer.

The power of the imagination to create reality.

Bluesy alternative country sound similar to Chris Stapleton or Midland, with a chorus reminiscent of the Eagles.

Eight or eighty....it doesn't matter, because every age has it own set of memories.

My wife took this picture of me with Tim Buppert, the singer and producer of the song, as we found him performing last year in Port Saint Joe, FL.

My cousin asked me to write a song for a friend of hers, who had just lost her daughter suddenly in a car accident. So, I tried to imagine the horror of the sudden loss of my wife, Julie, and came up with this song. I feel Tim Buppert did an outstanding job, both in terms of producing this song, as well as performing the vocals. I'm not sure this song is appropriate for a mother/daughter loss, but again, I like what Tim did with it.

It is the story of first love from Heaven to Hell

One of the songs we recorded in a mountain chateau in Southern France in early May.
