Morning all,
Well, this has blown me away! Getting 8 nominations yesterday for the 2022 Golden guitar awards plus one with my mate Dean Perrett is humbling and amazing for me.
I wrote most of this record during one of the most trying times of my life as an adult and at times I found it hard to listen to because it reminded me of losing my Father ,where I was in my marriage, and the many things that covid brought out in all of us.
I’d like to thank Laurel for hanging in there with a man that lost his purpose for a while and his smile and for continuing to say “call Matt Fell, he can help you with the record, I know he can.”
Roxanne Brown for a steady hand at the wheel making it all work when all our lives went off track during covid.
The songwriters for giving me a reason to get up and get my sorry arse to the guitar and notepad.
Matt Fell for listening and guiding a friend through a record that I couldn’t have made by myself… I’ve known Matt since he was around 19 we have huge history and this album is special because of that history. Ted Howard who calmed the farm as an engineer and just a class human being and the many amazing musicians who built the world today.
A very different record forged out of very different and difficult times.
I’m still smiling this morning like I did yesterday after the announcements from Tamworth. Thanks to all who voted and to the CMAA – Country Music Association of Australia!
Love to all for your support!
It’s been a hard time for so many
The light is coming
And I’m ready to play
TCDXX
