 It's time now for Mountain Music, being brought to you by the Mountain Arts Center, the main stage of the Country Music Highland. I've been up and down the river, seen the highways and back roads. This country sure is beautiful, but a byway. Eyes of gaze upon some land I thought I'd never see, but it feels like someone else's life and it don't. I'm so tired and technical, the motel's watching, late night talking shows, lately I fell. Well, NJ, I just finished it up, the early part of this year, releasing it strictly through my website, Nicholasjamerson.com. I think the last three years I've just gone through this process, this awakening, becoming more reacquainted with my true self, with Sunday Best, a lot of things. That whole thing just happened so fast and so there was just a lot happening and not really being able to experience things and then have the time to really reflect on it, to experience growth. I sure have missed my brother, he just turned 26 years old, and I often have to ask myself just where the little clayboy goes. Yeah, I know that you can stop or slow the pace of someone's age, but to me it ain't worth the missing just to have more. I feel like that's what the record is about, is just getting back to that whatever that authentic self is, just trying to be that and just live in that and whatever, not being afraid of being that because again, being in the Sunday Best situation, it's like people want you to be that all the time. They want you to be the lead singer of Sunday Best all the time. That's not who I am all the time. It's like that's a part of me, but that's not who I am ultimately. It's just one thing that I do and a long list of things that I do, so the record I think is a reflection of I guess this time is growth. I'm just trying to figure out who it is. I am what's best for me personally, professionally, whatever that is. I wasn't consciously trying to write a record with life lessons, but that ultimately for me it's a whole, it's a reflection of the realizations that I have sort of been going through over the last three years. This ain't my bed.
