I was in Nashville last week playing a few songwriter nights while I was there on business and remembered how much I loved this song. ‘Wild Man’ has some of my favorite lyrics of all my songs. It was written on mandolin and is a story of a tragic rocker living the high life on the edge. The end has a twist.
This was performed by the Parakeet Nelson band of 2003 featuring John Wayne Tuggle on lead guitar. It is available on my “Getaway Plans” album. Thanks for listening!
Home for the weekend to see my wife. Working 1200 miles away from home really makes you appreciate your relationships. That made me think of this song today. ‘Crazy or Crazy in Love’ was written and recorded during my song a day year in 2010 and has been a great live song for us ever since. Thanks for listening!
Today seems like a good day to finally post this song. It’s for those who like to have a gasoline cocktail every now and then while enjoying the beauty of Lake James, NC.
Featuring the incredible Jason Fuller on piano. This song was co-written with Jeramy Lamanno.
I love Sundays. There is just something about them. Yard work aside that is. Maybe the mowing I did today inspired today’s rocker. It’s funny, when I started this song a day thing, I thought I would do a lot of acoustic / country songs. But I’ve really stuck with the rock for most of the time. I guess I’ll always be a rocker.
