My friend Ehren Ebbage — who is a very talented musician and who recorded half of my first album, Flood or Drought — also lives in Nashville, and he recorded a couple of new tunes with me last weekend. Here’s one of them:

Now where do I find me one of those songwriting deals? I just have to sit on the porch playing guitar and someone will come by with a bucket full of cash, right?

A former Iowa Citian sent me this Milk Carton review of the Iowa City Song Project compilation that has very nice things to say about my song, “Unsteady Youth.” I’m thrilled that people feel the song captures Iowa City in a true and ‘inside’ fashion.

If you haven’t already ordered your copy of the compilation (now available on vinyl), be sure to visit Maximum Ames Records’ website to remedy that. It’s SO GOOD.
