Tommy Collins with Country Life - If you ain't lovin' (You ain't livin')

In the summer of 1989, the finnish band Country Life were honoured to back up well-known country songwriter, singer and entertainer Tommy Collins on a tour of Sweden & Finland. Tommy Collins has written many hits songs for artists such as Merle Haggard, Faron Young, George Strait and many others. http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/collins_tommy/bio.jhtml In 1999, Tommy was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters´ Hall of Fame, something that he was very proud of. Tommy Collins died at his home in Ashland City, TN on March 14, 2000.

Just by coincidence, well-known musician, James Pennebaker happened to be in Finland on business during this period and he agreed to play fiddle at this concert. James has played with Lee Roy Parnell, Big & Rich, Pam Tillis, etc.etc...He recently toured with John Fogerty, playing steelguitar.
