With "Cold Wind Cold Rain”, Everitt has given us a pure Texas songwriter’s album. It won’t take too many passes for this disc to break in and become a personal favorite either, and promises to wear equally as well for years to come. I would suggest picking up two copies of this CD, one for you, and one for the person who wishes to steal your copy.

Here are some of my songs that have been recorded by other artists. It is such a thrill to hear other interpretations of the work. Check out all these artists because they consistantly give us their dead level best. I am hosting two open mic venues north of Houston. One in beautiful Tomball every Tuesday and one in Spring every Wednesday evening. If you are seriously interested in having your songs heard get in touch. In addition to that I am involved in a nation-wide HOUSE CONCERT series. We are looking for songwriters with a PA who are willing to show up, set up, play two sets and pack up. These are guaranteed pay venues, exellent fan base-builders as well as an add-on to your tour. Professionals only please.
The Academy of Texas Music nominated me for Singer/Songwriter Of The Year in 2007, 08 and in 2009. My CD, "Cold Wind Cold Rain", is found at my website, MyTexasMusic.com, CDBaby, iTunes, Cactus Records in Houston as well as Sigs Lagoon Record Store in Midtown Houston next door to the Continental Club. Special thanks to the Americana stations around the US and Texas as well as across the pond who have added us to your playlists. THE PLAYERS: Terry Wilson (Jimmy Reed, The Animals, and Johnny Nash), Billy Watts (Jackson Browne and Mojo Monkeys), Tony Braunagel (Robert Cray, Lyle Lovett, Grammy Award winning producer for Taj Mahal), Mark Shark (Bonnie Raitt and Zydeco Party Band), Teresa James (Delbert McClinton and Levon Helm), and Mike Finnigan (CS&N, Joe Cocker, and Dan Fogelberg). Co-writers include Terry Wilson, Shake Russell, Red Young, Michael Hart, R.H. Everitt and Scott McGill. I am a New Folk winner at the Kerrville Folk Festival and a finalist in the 2006 Dallas Songwriters Association contest. My songs have been recorded by artists including Eric Burdon and the Animals, Brook Benton, Demis Russos, Scott McGill, Bob Bourgoin, Shake Russell, Coco Kallis and Teresa James. The video below is from the TMA night 2008. Shake was kind enough to ask me to accompany him on his beautiful song "Deep In The West". It was a day and night I will never forget. Thanks for supporting live music.

I like the new song, 'Get The Hook'. Very catchy melody, love the arrangement and a great vocal track. One of those songs that are hard to get out of your head. Ya done good!
