专辑简介

This CD gets about as up close and personal as Billy Crain can get. "I grew up with my older brother, Tommy Crain, of the Charlie Daniels Band, as my mentor. We toured together on and off since our early teens. My whole family picture shattered drastically on Jan. 13, 2011. My beloved brother passed away in his sleep. A week later on the very night of Tommy's memorial service, my wife, Sandy and I, took in a little boy named Dallas as our foster child. Later that summer Sandy was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through two rounds of surgery. It was a rough time. I was on the road with the Outlaws and on Feb 22nd, we took in a second foster child named Stella Rose. I also went through some legal stuff with the Outlaws so it felt like my whole world was caving in. In Feb of 2013 my mother died and a month later my father died. I was about as beat down as you can get. I had already started work on my third solo record "Silent Roar." In June of 2013, my doctor and my pastor both told me "You better get off the road or you are gonna die." I was 30 pounds underweight and I knew i literally was dying. After a couple of months off the road I began to get my health back. I went through an intense period of writing and soul searching. Dallas and Stella were both adopted and the tragedies of the last 3 years were coming alive in my music. I decided to call this work of music "Family Matters' because that is what it is about.......Family. I look forward to sharing my family with you because it's been one incredible journey."
