My son, my family, and my music are all spiritual to me. I am no holy roller but I trust God to show me the way.
My music is a virtual smorgasboard of my influences who are Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Al Jarreau, Patsy Cline, John Prine, Gino Vannelli, The Allman Brothers, Diane Schurr, Mel Torme, Nat King Cole, ZZ Top, and so many more. You will hear a bit of them all in certain songs of mine and to them I owe plenty.
I hate labels but my music should catagorized under 5 different styles being Rock, Blues, Jazz, Comedy, and Spiritual. Everything you hear is me and me alone except for the piano played on "Sweet Smell of Success which features my friend David Cox courtesy of "Iyam Records". I sing and play all the instruments. I write the lyrics and create the music. I leave certain bruises and scars on some songs because I choose to.
I record quickly as I have many songs and cannot spend the amount of time on each I would like to as I am trying to build a library of songs which will someday hopefully be over 1000. Usually I record and mix the entire song in one evening and I can only spend 2 nights per week doing this as I have a business to run.
I hope you enjoy at least one of my songs but remember, give each style a chance and see if any are your kind of music. From my mouth-hole to your ear-hole I thank you for the opportunity. |
