NEW CD HEADIN' SOUTH PROMO
Live @ Topanga Fest. 2009
The Last Drive-in Movie
So it finally happened and they closed them all down. Tonight is the last Drive-In movie in this small American town. And they'll shut of the lights and turn off those cheap box speakers that hung in our windows like hands. Connecting us all through a web of wires, while someone's outside the fence watching voiceless words and a twenty foot tall breast.... and I'm looking at the big picture too.... no family outings, no lovers shouting, no head lights , no cold nights, warm blankets and hugs. no soft secret proposals driving backseat dreamers high into ectasy....
Influences

3 years since I started this project and all our hard work has finally paid off. Thanks to all the fine folks who helped
make my dream a reality. What an honor it was to work with all these wonderful musicians. Special thanks to Greg
Rutledge who mixed, mastered and played on this CD with great attention to detail. Thanks to Greg Leisz and
Arnold McCuller for squeezing me into their busy schedules and contributing some awesome performances.
Thank you John Lambdin for adding your special musical spice to my stew. Thank you Tina Guo for your sweet
Cello. Thank s to Jack Willoughby for laying down some "killer" drum tracks. Thank you Austin Nicholsen for your
postive energy and tasteful Acoustic bass skills. Thanks to all my family, friends and all the other musical guests -

Group of us sat and listened to Headin' South the other night and agreed that all 15 tracks are excellent, but 'This Old Car' and 'Slowly Away' were the acknowledged standouts. Truly great songs you sly, soulful, tuneful son-of-a-South-headin' so-and-so!
