Well folks, 2006 turned out to be a pretty crazy year!!!! The spring tour with Erasure was incredible: beautiful historic theaters, great songs, singers, and musicians. World class dining, drinking and sightseeing, and even a little rock climbing on England's famous gritstone. A DVD of our show at Nashville's Ryman theater just came out and is available at Erasureinfo.com.
I went out on my first country tour in five or six years this summer with my old friend Trent Tomlinson. We had a blast as can be seen in some of the new pics in the Gallery, even playing on Howard Stern's show!
Some of the records I played on did very well, with Jason Aldean's "Why" with my lap steel solo, going to #1, and his "Amarillo Sky" featuring my pedal steel going to #4. Also Billy Currington's new single "Good Directions" is climbing the charts, and can be heard here. In the "Little Record That Could" department, I contributed to Nashville local Tommy Womack's record "There, I Said It!" which keeps getting more and more critical acclaim and national attention......Deservedly. Kid Rock's "Live Trucker" CD was released, and featured my steel on some of his biggest hits including "Picture" and "Only God Knows Why". Finally my solo record (WAY behind schedule) is about four songs closer to being finished, and I'm really proud of the new stuff.
And last, but certainly not least, I married longtime GF Stephanie on September 10: a photo and other fun stuff can be seen on the new "personal" page.
Have fun and kick ass!!!
