Country music from the heart of a county boy.
Well folks, catch some new tracks featuring the vocal styling of Mr. Mike Perreria and Mr. David Bell. Yes, a few of these tracks are from the long lost County Line sessions!!! And yes, some of them still have my lack luster vocals on them, but I'm working to remedy that part. Note that almost all (except 1) of the tracks are new. Very soon I'll be unveiling my next "album." I'll put the tracks up with the scratch vocals, and will work at finding some suitable voices.

Lyrics
The first cool day in November My daddy told me the news Son it’s been another tough year There’s nothing that we can do Didn’t sink in till a few days past The time I’d spent on the land The blood, sweat, and tears I left in the dirt Oh how it makes me sad Chorus Saw more then one perfect sunset And I thought it would never fail I’d always be able to see what I’d done Now there’s part of my life for sale My Granddaddy bought his land After the war in 1949 Spent a week in 97’ Painting the for sale sign All five kids married and gone Seven grand kids come around too After those years of farming that land What will my granddaddy do
