His recordings are of his original material that has a range from Country (traditional, modern ,contemporary and country pop) to Rock 'N' Roll and Rockabilly. This makes the album quite diverse and appealing to many country fans. Jerry started his career in the 50's as a country entertainer and songwriter. He worked with Faron Young, Webb Pierce, The Wilbourn Brothers, Jimmy Dean, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Paul Anka, The Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, and many others. He gave up his career to care for his two children which he was given custody after a divorce. Jerry never stopped writing songs and set up a recording studio in his home and recorded these songs over the years. He was blessed and found the girl he had prayed for (Elaine) and remarried. Two more girls (Nancy and Pamela) were born into the family and all was well with the world.

The following is the inside of the album cover and "The Road Less Taken", "Clovis Bound" and "The Jerry Engler Story" articles which can be found on Gil Vignal's Buddy Holly website. Gil in Nantes, France is Jerry's friend whom without his help and encouragement this CD would not have seen the light of day.

Later, my other hero came upon the scene, Elvis Presley. He turned the music scene upside down with great material. Influences like these are great to shoot for when trying to write a good country or Rock 'n Roll song. I think it's important that we shoot for the top. If I have fallen short of the mark at least I know I gave it my best shot. I have a feeling that Buddy Holly felt this way as well because his material was also simple, melodic and well written. Along the way there have been other he
