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
