Theres something about hearing a young singer interpreting an old song that tends to make the song sound new again. Bob Plunkert takes several old favorites here, including two that I wrote, and dresses them up with a sparkling coat of new paint. Thanks, Bob. Youve really made them shine.

The vibe in the studio that day was absolutely infectious. Virtually all of the music was cut live just as you hear it. When recording in this fashion (the way that the majority of all recording was done up into the 1970s), the musicians and the artist work off of each other in subtle ways they dont even realize. Recording live also allows the music to have a special life and breathability to it that you arent able to achieve by just going in and recording one instrument, one track at a time
This is a hard-core traditional country album with the spirit and feel that country records had in the fifties, sixties, and early seventies. Its a very special sound and a feel that is not heard often live
It was an honor to be involved in this project as producer and its something that Ill always remember with great pride. Like the album title, it was and remains Something Called Happiness
