"Had, baby I been had, brought me down to my
knees.
Bad, been feelin' bad and need some sympathy.
Dry, done drained my dry, my needle's way past E,
But I'm gone, too far gone, too far gone to see."
...from new tune, "Too Far Gone"
Hope the New Year has been kind to everyone thus far. Our
year is actually much better than "Too Far Gone"
makes it sound. After a several month spiritual enrichment
hiatus (lots of good growing, family and writing time), we've
got a new website, some new tunes - (in addition to above
here's one called "45,"
and another called "Father
& Daughter," both in the very rough stages),
and are easing back into the performance swim.
Ken and I will be doing the duo thing tonight at Artspace
@ 7:00PM for First Friday @ Raleigh's City Market, and will
be on the bill as a trio (with guest guitarist Drew Lile)
next Saturday March 15th @ 11:00AM for the "Change Poverty"
benefit concert held @ the Armadillo Grill across from Sullivan's
(a truly great cause open to the public and all ages).
Here's a few other dates coming on
the horizon...hope to see you soon!

THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'VE GOT reaches
#23 on the European Country HotDisc Chart! The song (Track
#3 on the Crossroads
Grocery album), is a duet with Shana Morrison (daughter
of Van) about working through the hard times in a relationship,
and grass on the other side perhaps not being as green as
it seems. I guess it's like accents and foreigners. For some
reason our music just seems...I don't know...more unique over
there. It's an obscure chart but none-the-less, its honest
and makes this the 3rd cut from Crossroads Grocery to crack
their top 25 (this marks the tune's 6th week on the chart
- in good company with Wynona, Tim McGraw, Gretchen Peters
and Collin Raye).

HotDisc Chart!... DJ's and media types all across Europe voted
Ustacould (Track #10 on the Crossroads
Grocery record) into the 13th postion in their Top 40!
This chart is put out by 2003 CMA International

European radio show, "Radio Caroline." Stuart has
assembled a substantial network of European radio and film
professionals who independently vote to determine these results.
Kinda cool seeing our name listed alongside artists like Alan
Jackson, Keith Urban, Dwight Yoakum & Gretchen Wilson.

New Record Getting International Exposure!
Crossroads
Grocery is building momentum and getting airtime on radio
stations across Europe, Canada and the U.S. of A. The album
was independently released in January and continues to receive
rave reviews.
Grammy and Oscar nominated producer and multi-instrumentalist
Scott Matthews produced the album and does an outstanding
job blending elements of Alt. Country, Pop and Americana into
a thought-provoking yet still rockin' record true to our Southern
roots. Scott is known for his work with the likes of Bonnie
Raitt, John Hiatt, Elvis Costello, Johnny Cash, Van Morrison
and the Beach Boys to name a few! Shana Morrison (Van's daughter
who has deservedly made her own name out in the Bay area)
lends her considerable vocal talents on three tracks.
Thanks to our friends @ WUNC 91.5 (Backporch
Music), WNCW 88.7, and WRAL Mix 101.5 who have been playing
cuts from Crossroads
Grocery. We appreciate their support and hope you will
all continue to support them in their efforts to help local
artists get heard!
