I’ve a new project on the near horizon, in addition to the jazzy quartet work and my forthcoming album of originals. The new project is an album of classic Nashville covers from the 1960s, solo voice and steel-string guitar.

Initial demos sounded good to those who listened and, most importantly, I did, too. Something has changed in my delivery of vocal material.

The twist is that none of the songs on this album will have been very well-known, even when they were issued. But they are gems, every one of them. As you probably already know, I love to mine the American back catalog and have come up flush every time.
