I created a unique pen-name and devoted it to this very personal project. The upshot is: it’s a collection of songs that pay honor to my love of classic 70s country music and old school song craft. Some call it “A.M. Gold”. But whatever you call it: I grew up listening to it with my Grandma and late Father (whose name I honor). It’s unabashedly nostalgic music with a big ole’ heart.
The songs are co-produced by my good friend Tim DeLaney, who has been a big help in the visual renderings of the tracks — allowing me to invade his studio with my friend DoP Jordan Pilgrim and a camera on occasion.
The Digital 45 “Delilah & Gospel” is actually the same song sung at two different points in the narrator’s life: one as an eager young man on the make, the other as an older man looking back on what he might have missed…
“You and Me” was written for my amazing wife — with a good bit of Dan Fogelberg nostalgia thrown in atop the 70 country sensibility.
