专辑简介

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED LISTENING TO THE ORIGINAL SOUND OF WHAT I CALL CLASSIC COUNTRY MUSIC. THE DESTINCT STYLE AND MUSIC BY ARTISTS SUCH AS HANK WILLIAMS SR. & JR., JOHNNY CASH, WAYLON JENNINGS, MERLE HAGGARD AND WILLIE NELSON, JUST TO NAME A FEW, HAVE BEEN EXCELLENT EXAMPLES OF WHAT PURE COUNTRY MUSIC REALLY IS TO ME. I GREW UP LISTENING TO ALBUMS BY THESE GREAT ARTISTS AND OTHERS, WHICH PROVIDED A GOOD FOUNDATION OF COUNTRY MUSIC INFLUENCES. A FEW YEARS AGO I DECIDED TO WRITE MY OWN SONGS AND RECORD MUSIC THAT I BELIEVE HAS A DIRECT DRAW FROM THE EARLIER SOUND OF COUNTRY MUSIC. THE MATERIAL I USE FOR MY SONGS COMES FROM SOME OF MY OWN EXPERIENCES, PEOPLE I HAVE MET OR MAYBE JUST AN INSPIRTION FROM A STORY THAT I HAVE HEARD. THIS ALBUM ENTITLED “A BETTER WAY OF LIFE” HAS SEVERAL SONGS THAT WERE CREATED TO TELL A STORY AND PROVIDE A MESSAGE OF HOPE FOR SOMETHING BETTER. ALL OF THE SONGS ARE ABOUT REAL LIFE SITUATIONS AND SOME JUST HAVE A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT A DIFFICULT SITUATION. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE ALBUM.
