A special thanks to all those who were part of this musical journey... this is a compilation of songs that include everyone I have worked with over the last decade. So many people helped turn my lyrical thoughts into music: from my early beginnings; My mother and father; Coy & Mary Poole for supporting me in every way, shape and form, my grandmother; Isabelle Mann for teaching me 100 songs with 3 chords and my uncles; Rob and Cliff Mann, for teaching me a 100 chords to 3 songs. To my long time friend; Jason Morris, for his recent percussion work on, "I OWN YOU," to my old friend; Sherrill Coats, who is no longer with us, but looking down on us for producing "OWN WORST ENEMY UNPLUGGED," to all those that spent a summer with me at Sherrill's Studio (The Easy Roads Band) Willie Coats (lead guitar), David Cobb (Bass), Ray Matthews (Drums) and Brian Johnson (Piano/Organ) on "OWN WORST ENEMY" A huge fat kiss to "SMOKEY" who is always kill'n cowboys (cigarettes) my very good friend at Stone Creek Studio in Holly Springs, N.C.
