Demo tracks- This is a compilation of songs slated to be on our first solo cd, due for release in early 2010.
- April Fools Day
- This is an old Marty Robbins song I heard on the jukebox while in the U.S.A.F. overseas. As I recall it was the flip side of Devil Woman.
- How Could I Love Her So Much
- Johnny Rodriguez has long been one of my favorite entertainers, so when I came across this song I had to add it to my list. Hope you like it, too.
- Honky Tonkers Don't Cry
Dale Watson penned this tribute to all who have a "second" home at the local honky tonk.
- Long Necks, Cigarettes
- This track features Amy, one of the hottest Redheads to ever grace a stage. Excellent singer, too.
- Let's Leave The Lights On Tonight
- This is another Johnny Rodriguez song that caught my attention. Take a listen.
- Don't Worry 'bout me
For those who don't know me, I'm a long time fan of Marty Robbins music. He's definitely the main influence in my music.
- Make The World Go Away
This Eddy Arnold classic is a favorite at all the nursing homes. The residents always sing along to this one song, if none other. Amy did both harmony parts.
- Crazy
- Crazy has to be one of the most popular and recognised songs in any genre of music. You hear the intro and everyone knows it's Crazy. Thanks to Patsy Cline for sticking to her guns and doing this song as a ballad instead of up-tempo like Willie wanted her to do it.
- Good Ol Boy
- After All
- This cut is the only one done at Red Rock Studios in the Poconos. Thanks to Randy & Ray Cramer, Norm Lohman and Marty Wilson for their contributions. This one of the best songs from Ed Bruce.

More Information
Contact us today!
We welcome your questions and queries. Since this is a new project, I'm going to try something I don't believe was ever done before: e-mail me with your choice of Real Country songs to add to this cd. It must be something NOT on the top 40, preferably from my posted list, an independent artist or someone "too country for country". Of the songs chosen, the person submitting the song will be recognized in the credits. Please see our Contact Us page for complete contact information.
