    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    So many people have asked me: "when are you going to make vinyl available"? Well, here it is. The new recording 'Dirt Road Confessional' in full vinyl glory. Contains 10 songs (5 per side). This is 2 less than the CD version (Walkin' Shoes and Queen of Broken Souls don't appear on the vinyl version) - there simply wasn't room! You can always buy the digital versions of those 2 songs, or stream them on spotify. I've been told by listeners that this vinyl master is really warm and sounds fantastic. I hope you enjoy it.
    Allow 3-5 days for delivery within Canada; 6-10 days to get elsewhere around the globe.
    Sorry shipping is kind of expensive for vinyl. This is the absolute lowest postage rate I could send it with.

lyrics

Beauty in the Grey

Another view of the country from here behind the wheel
Coffee shakes and high hopes take the edge off & conceal
Doubts from all directions, tonight’s another stage
Moth unto the lamplight never to forsake, to forsake

So I fill the tank and chart the course and say my good byes
I miss my friends and family oh how I’m alone but I'm not lonely
These voices in my head whispering about the hunger, waiting to be fed

Chorus
Some days I work for dollars, some days for dimes
I’ve rolled downhill, aimed for stars, I’ve braved the steep inclines
I Follow fate through the shadows, seeking beauty in the grey
I got wandering in my bones and I let go, ya let my heart lead the way

I got a pocket full of promises I’ve made to myself
The prophets on their barstools say, only time will tell
I been thinking about the faces, I never get to know
Don’t let myself get too close, for to ease the letting go

Chorus

and as for regret it tiptoes in every now and then
Looking for a place to lie and stumbles out again

Chorus
