Had a classic road trip with Ramblin' Jack this past fall. A wonderful adventure from Salt Lake City to Ann Arbor. We stopped at every truckstop along the way..... The new cd, "NAMES" is almost all recorded. Each song title is a person's name, and none of the songs were written by me. Some tunes go as far back as the old, English Child Ballads ("Barbara Allen"- a duet with Carrie Newcomer) and several are by gifted contemporary writers like Robert Earl Keen & Gillian Welch. There will be 13 tracks and all of the many musicians on this project are, in a true sense, neighbors. This are of south-Central Indiana is rich with talented and colorful players ! More on this project later. Projected release date is late Spring....
