“I was born 34 years ago in Oxford, Mississippi, to a sawmill father and a church piano playing mother. One taught me how to work and the other how to sing, and I try to do both as much as possible. Maybe the work isn’t as backbreaking as it was for me when I was younger and maybe the songs have changed, but I learned a lot in those day about what it takes to keep going, to not give up. I learned how to sing when my soul was down. Now I find that I just can’t quit. […] A little road worn and down, I took some time off in 2009 and 2010 and finished up a college degree I had long put aside. I read as many books as I could get my hands on. I took some poetry and fiction classes, trying to learn to write better. […]
I feel very fortunate. I don’t have to work at the sawmill anymore with my dad when I’m not on tour. My back doesn’t hurt like it used to. The lights are on and I had a decent lunch before writing this. I have learned to find the joy in these small things. I have learned to do what I have to in order to keep my energy up, because I love what I do and I want to keep doing it for as long as I can.”

Note to Self: How good is he?!
I liked this very much, “feel good” music.
Me too Helen.
His voice is pretty good.
Certainly is.
A piano is arriving at my house tomorrow and I am so excited to learn to play it!
Wow. Fantastic…Good luck to you. How exciting.
Awesome!
I like his voice and that he took on the hard work and made an opportunity to go for it…
Yes Christie. His story is as good as his song.
I love your selections dear David, Thank you, his voice filled my humble morning world in here now 🙂 Have a nice day and great weekend, love, nia
I agree Nia. Thank you for the kind words.
What a great outlook!
His song is impressive, his attitude, ever better. ☺ Fabulous.
So agree…
Fabulous!! Don’t think I’ve heard of him before. He has a touch of Elton John and Rufus Wainright, made my day David! 😀
So glad Suzy. Glad you enjoyed it.
I recognize a kindred soul here. This is a guy I’d like to have coffee with someday.
Yes. Me too. (I kept waiting for a comment about not finding him on Pandora.)
Yeah, that stinks.
An album (cd) he released in 2018 made the list of the 30 best Southern albums of 2018!
Learned something today. Thanks!
