Hey, Everybody! I’m back in Houston again after another week in Austin, working on finishing my new album. The rough mixes are sounding GREAT with an all-star line up of some of Austin’s top tier musicians playing rhythm, bass, guitar, and steel guitar parts behind me and my little Songbird, Odetta. The songs range in theme and mood from a moving cover of the famous ballad, “Everybody’s Changing” (Keane)—featuring an enchanting piano part recorded in England by the writer himself, Tim Rice-Oxley—to a brand new, all-original, eight-bar Blues, featuring Johnny Nicholas on a boogie piano part that sounds as if it comes straight from the woods of my family home in deep East Texas. I’m beginning to set up live shows for the release, so please let me know if you have ideas and/or would like for me to make a stop in your town when the album drops. In the meantime, I’ll continue to keep you posted on the recording process and record release. And if you’re in the Houston area this Summer and/or Fall, I hope that you will stop by historic La Carafe, Downtown on Market Square on a third Tuesday, catch some of the new songs, and enjoy a nice cold one under the downtown lights. Now, you can’t beat that on a Tuesday night in H-Town. Y’all come!
