Recorded at Joe McMahan’s Wow and Flutter studio (then on McKennie Ave. in east Nashville), “Burning” was the long-awaited follow-up to the 2000 release, “Down to the Well”.  Special guests include Nashville

r & b legend Charles “Wigg” Walker, Bo Ramsey, Louisiana piano master/songwriter David Egan, and Jennifer Niceley.


The song “Flowers”, was later recorded by New Orleans’ great Irma Thomas; her version appears on her Grammy-winning record, “After the Rain”.

“Watching the Sun Go Down” was licensed for use in a Dewar’s Scotch television ad campaign, and also for use in the HBO series, “True Blood”.  “24 Diamonds” was included in the Red Beet Records compilation “The Other Side: Music from East Nashville”.
