‘66 CD (2017)
10 songs, 39 min 14 sec
FUN was the key word in making this record. I took my band into the studio with me to get that LIVE sound I loved so much growing up. 4 musicians in one room looking at each other, playing off each other, making music. I am fortunate to have great musicians. Danny Flowers, writer of "Tulsa Time" and many other hit songs is a fantastic guitar player, and we play off each other really well. Steve Bryant is an amazing session bass player having played on many hit records. He is also a long time friend which makes it a joy to create with him. Will Johnston, the drummer, is young in age but not in experience having already played with folks like Van Morrison. It was an amazing group effort, and we cut 8 songs in one day! The songs came to me in the year since I recorded the "New Songs From Old Guitars" record. A lot of these songs were inspired by the ever-changing, everyday wild world and how I would like to be and how I would like to see the world. The final song,"Cut From The Same Cloth" was written with and features the amazing artist Cory Batten on vocals and production. "2 Choices" was written with Leslie Satcher, one of the great writers of our time, and "Difficult Kind" was written with Warner Bros artist Will Hoge. It's an eclectic mixture of sounds that have inspired me since I picked up a guitar in 1966 (I was 2, ha). Hence, the title of the record '66. Thanks for checking this out, and I hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as I enjoyed making it.
