I’d like to thank all of the people who have traveled with me on my crazy musical journey through the years. And what a road it has been!  I am lucky to have shared it all with my band, my partners and my friends – Lori Stidham, Walter K. and Charlie Macom – you are all essential to my soul and this project would never have been completed without you. Thanks to all my family – Clint, Cynthia, Bowden and Jessica- we’re lucky!  All my love to Sweet T, Oscar Man and Sugar B – you are my world! Special shout out to Janet Troutman Ward, Lydia Robertson, Jennifer Cox and to all my friends at Heifer Foundation, especially Rev. Greg Spradlin, for all their support. Major props to all the clubs who have given us a place to play for so many years so we can continue to get our fix.  For all of you who come to listen, laugh and hang out with us – bless you!

This CD is dedicated in memory of Kieron Poulet – especially any song that sounds country.  I’m sure you’ve found a “better band up the road somewhere.”
