8 Original songs written to sound like 1950's-60's country pop, and 3 great cover tunes!

1. Forgivin’ and Forgettin’        2:45
Western Swing – simple message: “forgivin’ and forgetting’, that’s my motto”.
2. How Long                              3:56
“First you ignored her, now you adore her”.  Where’s the line?
3. Cold-Hearted Man                 2:58
We had a lot of fun with this one.  What rhymes with circus?
4.  Strange                                3:02
By Mel Tillis and Fred Burch – a great song that hasn’t been overdone.
5. I’ll Be Your Fool ‘Til the End of My Days      2:03
We were already well into the recording of the CD when I wrote this one.  I thought “we don’t have a Louvin Brothers-style duet”.  Now we do!
6. There’s a Dark Cloud Hanging Over Me           4:41
Think Johnny Cash.  Like Ray Charles, another inspiring artist.
7. From One Cheatin’ Heart to Another              2:55
Hank, Hank, Hank…there are always two sides to the story.  Here’s mine!
8. It Hurts                                 2:46
Yup – it’s a hurtin’ song, complete with full 4-part harmony.  Cheesy but fun, “it really hurts”. 
9.You Don’t Know Me                 3:53
By Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold – a beautiful song.
10. Are You Drinking Too Much         4:24
A dynamite song by Fred Eaglesmith.  When I first heard this song, years ago, I thought “wow, sounds like an oldie!”
11. Take it to Heart                    4:02
 I have a video running through my mind whenever I sing this song … “Two glasses in the parlour, lipstick smudged on one…”  A bit of Patsy Cline, a dash of Ray Charles, add a drop of Ted Hawkins, and you’ve got Take it to Heart.

“Just listened to this from front to back - couldn’t stop! Brilliant. Your band rocks - those guitars!!! ... Your voice is warm and friendly and has beautiful tone. Reminds me of how I felt when I first heard Buddy Holly & the Crickets - and that’s a huge compliment. Your engineer is top notch. This deserves to be a major hit...” Tony Copple, CKCU and Proprietor, Ottawa Beatles Site
