New Track: A Good Man to Ride the River With


I wrote a song, as therapy. It’s from a note Johnny Cash wrote to Tom Petty, one which Mr. Petty mentioned with pride more than once. It read: “You’re a good man to ride the river with,” which, apparently, is an expression from the South or maybe Texas specifically. I have to admit I violated the Heartbreaker rule of “Don’t bore us, get to the chorus.” I’m sure my record company will complain. It fades in, so give it a second to get going.

Guest guitarist Sporky Snakeskin, recluse brother of Sparky Snakeskin, was pretty down through most of the session, and not just because his arthritis was flaring up. This track is updated Oct. 31, 2017. It should be in stores and with streaming providers soon. If you listen, thanks! And if you listened and liked it, please share it with someone who might feel similarly. Thanks. In case the embed above doesn’t work, here’s a link.
Update: Bandcamp lets you revise your audio file, so the newest mixes are there. The last was Nov. 27th.
