 Here's a brand new song. It's called No Shame. Sometimes I need, sometimes I need just about anything That'll keep me from the end of my road Ain't no shame, no pain, no shame I've been playing since, I started singing when I was about five Playing drums about the same age And it's pretty much been my whole life, music has been I've loved it, I still do, it's my first love When people say they don't like music, I don't understand how they could say that to me Everybody's different, but it means everything to me It gets me through bad times It's like therapy for me playing music and writing It's very therapeutic and I've been playing full time now for over three years I went for it just before my 40th birthday, I decided to go ahead and try Because I've always wanted to try So I'm slowly but surely getting there It seems like every year I seem to be getting a little busier And I'm getting further away from home So I want to keep trying until I can't try anymore Yeah, music's everything to me and it's been my whole life I've tried doing some things over the years Several years ago I did an album And it didn't quite turn out the way that I wanted it to Due to my lack of knowing what to do So in 2015 I put out an EP of me just recording some songs at home On my home recording system Just to have something to sell at shows and things like that And then in 2017 I went to 2-5 studios with Tony Mullins And I had David Prince and Chris Justice and Hayden Miles come to the studio with me And we recorded 11 songs And I really felt like that really represented me better than anything else had And I put that out on my own And put it out everywhere on the internet Spotify, iTunes and all that good stuff And it got a good reception And I decided to record some more songs last year And I recorded with Kenny Miles down at Fat Baby Studios in Weizberg And he's another great artist His band is Wayne Graham And Hayden who also played drums And once again I had David Prince and Chris Justice and Hayden on this album And this time I ended up getting some help with it And I signed with Eastwood Records out of Louisville, Kentucky And they helped me with the PR and marketing and things like that And helped get it out into the world So this time it's... The first album was called Finally in the Beginning This album was called High Expectations Because I've always had, I guess really, I do have high expectations I felt like I was supposed to play music And in my heart I felt like that I was... That's what I'm supposed to do And this is what I expect to do So that was kind of what that was, you know It's tough, I found going doing this is much harder than I had dreamed But it's all definitely worth it I decided to go ahead and I just wrote these songs Last week actually, both of them, I finished both of them I went through a bit of... I don't like to force songs I'm one of those people that it's weird, but I get a feeling It's hard to explain, I get a feeling sometimes And it tells something that says, pick up your guitar and play And that's the only way I can explain it So I had that feeling last week I noodle around, I should say a lot, and I have song ideas And I'm fortunate to be able to... That part of it comes fairly easy to me But lyrically is where I feel very challenged And last week I had an idea and I sat down And I had a verse in my head for a couple of days And then I sat down one night and I finished the whole song I just want to thank everybody that supported me so far And that means a lot and that I appreciate it And that I hope to see you down the road
