How Not To Release An Album ~ Or ~ Introducing...
People have been asking: “What are you doing with your new record?” My answer: “Y’know… just sending it out to digital stores.” I feel a little bit guilty about my less-than-inspiring answer, but here’s the thing. It’s been 8 years since my last full-length album. You heard me. 8 years. Sure, I’ve released 4 or 5 singles in there, co-written...

"Bells Of Odilia" Lands On AMERICAN SONGWRITER... →
This apparently came out a while back, but I just got wind of it. American Songwriter magazine asked music journalist/music professor/music artist Peter Cooper to put together a list of 50 Country Songs Every Songwriter Should Know — and he was kind enough to include my song “Bells Of Odilia” in his collection of wonderful songs.

A "Brilliantine" Kind Of Day
Today is one of those good days. I’ve got a song coming out today that I’m very happy to be releasing into the world, like a wriggling, silvery trout into a murky stream. Someday I’ll write here about the years it took to bring it to life — the five studios, the dozen or more musicians, the aborted first version. Maybe I’ll tell you about how the song came to me,...
