Thanks for the back story - it adds to the listening aura. Your guitar work is always special. Your guitar work is always top notch, and the pedal steel is sweet, too! What I like about most of your songs is they tell a life story so nicely. Your lyrics are always down to earth and relatable and talk to the everyday person. The best lyric writers in Nashville have that ability - and you do too. In addition to your musical prowess, your story-telling is beyond excellent. I kinda see you as the modern day Tom T. Hall. I think you could write a song about an empty shoebox and make it sound like Top-Ten material. Great song - great listen!

Wishing you the very best,

Alan
Alan thank you for the frame worthy review! I sincerely appreciate your support. The empty shoebox won’t be a top ten hit but it is already in the pipeline. If I listen closely enough to my own stories I’ll never run short of material. Stay well, Tom
