FROM "OUT AMONG THE STARS"(2014)

ABOUT THE ALBUM

My parents kept everything and through the years they packed away their recordings and various things into a storage vault. After they passed away, it became necessary that we go through these things. This record, Out Among the Stars, was one of the treasures that we discovered after they passed. What a blessing to find this music. Dad recorded this record with Billy Sherrill, the veteran producer, back in 1984 and 81, mostly in 84. At that point in my life, my dad, well he'd been through some struggles in the early 80s. He had fallen back into drug addiction and in late 83, he went through recovery. So, we catch Dad here at a point in his life, when he was true, when he was aware, when his voice was perfect -- when he was headed in a spiritual direction that was positive and meaningful for him. This music resonates in so many ways to my spirit. It's not just about the perfect voice; it's a memory to me of who my dad was at the time. And what a blessing to come face to face with that and remember that now and I feel like I'm with him again when I hear these recordings.

ABOUT THE SONG

My father was a true patriot, and Tennessee exhibits this. He really did love the state he lived in. Tennessee meant a lot to my dad and through his years here he stayed true. Lived in Hendersonville, Tennessee, from 1967 to the end of his life.
