I Am Just A Song
This album features my versions of two songs I wrote that were recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams, Jr.; respectively, "God & Guns" and "Red, White & Pink-Slip Blues." I recorded them in New Orleans with a wonderful group of professional musicians in Da Big Easy including former Neville Brothers' guitarist, Shane Theriot. The remaining eight songs on the album were recorded in Nashville with a cast of A-list Nashville session guys.
Note: For better or worse, no auto tune used in the production of this album!
The album (and downloads) will not be available until May 1, 2013, but the "My Inner Dawg" album is available NOW!! Click here or on the "More Music" tab above to see it and get it!

No One Loves Me
[1:33]
This song came about from house hunting. We looked at two foreclosed homes. It was clear the families had been removed from the premises as some of their stuff was still behind including children's toys. Heartbreaking. So many cases like this in America. I worry for my country. Written by Bud Tower.
