with a railroad track running right
thru the middle of town, Kings Mountain,
North Carolina is where I was born and raised.
Being the youngest of 6 siblings,
I was inspired by my brothers' and sisters'
45 & LP records and my Mama's music.
The church music she played on her accordion,
organ and piano filled our home and hearts...
God Bless Mama.
But frankly, my greatest source of inspiration
comes from a time and place where life was simple
and easy and the people were good and honest.
Mama never had to worry about where I was.
She knew I was either in the top of an old oak tree
or trailin' up the mountain. One thing was for sure,
I never strayed too far because I had
to be back in time for supper!

Taxi A&R Services gave a great review of my song "Sun Shine On" on the new disc. High Marks as follows: Good Music in verses, Good Music in Choruses, Well written structure,Good sectional contrast, First line makes you want to hear more, Cohesive, Good use of imagery, Rhymes well, Communicates emotion to the listener, Vocals does help song. "Confident vocals are the glue that holds this track together, Scoot, Good job, ensemble feel, live band/vocal interaction is a plus".
"Vaguely similar in genre to artists like Ryan Adams come to mind, although he doesn't have your soulful range, bluesy phrasing." Americana, Roots Radio and record labels would seem the closest match." "Your classic R&B influences (Otis Redding) are something to build on..." Great Job!
