Thank you for all you have labored to create and present. And thank you for sharing these back stories which are so interesting to read and give insight into your music and collaborative process.
The relationships, personal and professional and how they intertwine fascinates me. Somehow it isn’t as compelling in my line of work, education. Thanks for sharing.
Love every morsel of this story. I know a few of those alleys and a few of those folks you have worked with over the years. I can feel the palpable greatness of folks like Harry Stinson in the room. I also devoured these early recordings of yours in those years. I will never forget the first time I heard ‘Alabama’ - I stopped what I was doing and with two toddlers in tow walked to the other room where it was coming out of my little radio. It hit a nerve or something in me that helped me recognize myself - and potentially some thing I had to offer to writing. It was one of those moments that sealed the deal that I had no choice but to try to write songs . Not sure I have or will ever write anything the caliber of which I would feel brave enough to handover to you or Emmylou or Harry or Tammy Rogers or so many others, but because of you, i’ve continued to give it time and attention, to not quit, and to learn and grow to be more brave. Little did I know that ‘“Alabama” song would stop me in my tracks that day and then I would read about Mobile and the towns I lived in as a girl where so many parts of my & my sister’s story paralleled yours in ‘Blood’ - so much so that “Nightlight” became an important song for me & my little sister. I truly do hang on your words and I’m nourished and encouraged by them - Not in some manny pamby tell you what you want to hear kind of way - kind of maybe the opposite. If you keep on I’ll keep reading. 🙏🏼🌻
Always good to read about your music process. We have a person in common with Jim DeMain. Jim mastered my "Hellfire" album at YesMaster. I gave you a copy when I met you in Kalamazoo in early 2020 just before covid shut everything down. BTW, Hellfire was Roots Music Reports #5 performer for the entire year of 2019 in the "Roots Rock" category. Enough of me blowing my own horn. I just love your music. And you❤
I love this song! Thank you for sharing the back story. Great musicians! Incredible song! Looking forward to upcoming new music with Kenny!
Man, I love this song! Real country!

“Hebrew National Guitar.” Ah, Tex, you slay me.
What a magical combination of musicians, lyrics, and you, Allison. Thank you for sharing another story!
