My wife Carol and my mother are the cornerstones of my influences. My mother taught me about God and compassion for others. After wandering aimlessly without purpose for a long time--I finally got it right when I met Carol. Today I have the life that for so long, I only hoped for. Carol, you truly are my everything in life that is good. You make me want to try harder and do the right thing. Within the realm of musical influence; Beatles, Eagles, Allman Brothers, Cream, Yes, Boston, Dan Fogelberg,Led Zeppellin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Lang, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy English, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Raskal Flatts, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Pink Floyd, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Albert King, David Crosby, George Jones, Johnny Cash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple, CCR, and of course the "King" Elvis Presley.

I am a big fan of Classic Rock/ Country (old and new), and Blues. I am a songwriter, so my songs reflect the type music I enjoy. The songs will vary according to the particular type of people I am attempting to reach musically. I have been a song writer for 33 yrs. so I have obviously written songs that lean toward Rock,Country,and Blues. This is my only attempt at recording my songs in a professional setting utilizing the very latest in digital technology. I've been a professional Trucker now for many years, so I felt it befitting and gratifying to present these songs to my brothers and sisters in the trucking industry. However, I tried to lyricallly reach all who work hard and are occasionally on the road away from home. Also,
as a Veteran, I cannot forget (nor can I let others forget) our brave soldiers and the sacrifices they make for us every day. Hence;my song "Tears of Pride". To wrap it up- I'm just an ol' Truckin', Bowhuntin', Rough-neckin', Song-writin', Guitar Pickin' soul that is not quite ready to let go of what I like to do so much--play my music for you--I only hope you enjoy it.** Don Whatley ** THIS CD IS DEDICATED TO-AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF- MY BELOVED STEP-SON/DON ODELL DIAZ (1972-2007)**MY "MOM" IN LAW /WILMA D. MARSH (1934-2001** MY DAD /L. LLOYD WHATLEY (1923-1989)**and ALL OF OUR FALLEN U.S. SOLDIERS****R.I.P.****
PSALMS 33: 2-4 ***Thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for forgiveness, my blessings, and keeping me safe on the road.*** ***Thanks to my solid rock, my best friend, my hunting buddy, my everything, my wife Carol ***Thanks to my spiritual compass, my inspiration, my hero, my Momma*** ***Thanks for filling a void in my life- Proud of you Pa-Pa.*** ***Thanks to my extended family at Continental Express Inc.-What a great outfit and on-going carreer!! ***Thanks to each of the contributing musicians--You represent the very best of Nashville talent and I am honored.*** ***Special thanks to my long time friend, world-class guitarist, and producer of this CD/Album--Jimmy English--thanks bro, you helped to make a life long dream come true for me.* ***As a career trucker/musician, I am very proud of all my brothers and sisters in the trucking industry. We understand our stereotypical image is a lighthearted thing. Most truckers have a good sense of humor and are quick to laugh. On the other hand, we understand that each of us play a vital role in providing American business and families with things they absolutely need. Day or Night- in any weather- our common goal is to fulfill that commitment in a safe and timely manner. The Trucking Industry is the backbone of the U.S. economy. It is true: Without Trucks - America Stops! **Mr./Mrs. Trucker-be proud of the important job you do- I am!!!

Be Still The instructions are to pick four people that You want God to Bless right now.
I picked you. Please pass this to at least four people you want to pray for and a copy back to me. This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's always pray for one another. Here the prayer: Father, Thank You for each and every day You have blessed us here on earth. Thank You for Your tender mercies. Thank You for giving us friends and family to share these Internet joys with. I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those I care deeply for who are reading this right now. Where there is joy, give them continued joy, Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence. Where there is need, fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings In Jesus' name Amen
