    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

Get What You Give

You might pray for love, try to coax it your way
Cross your fingers to the point of breaking cuz you
Just need a place for your heart to go to sooth the aching
With those 3 words you got tucked at the back of your mind
You know what you want but it's hard to describe
do you go looking for it or let it find you, pretend to kill some time?
Place poetic quotes in old picture frames, and wishbones and clover and falling star games, it’s hope reaching out trying to tap on the shoulder of fate, oh

Chorus
Do you fear for the break, hold on to what if’s?
No the truth of the heart lies in lessons you live
When it comes to love it seems you get what you give

The stranger you were too scared to say hello to
The moment slipped by like a ghost and you were
Caught between what’s meant to be and what it meant to you

Those 3 words sitting there at the back of your throat
you wanna move ‘em to your lips where they matter the most
Be proud you said it wear that smile around like the warmest winter coat

Chorus

While a pawnshop is selling off old wedding rings you feel a tug at your sagging heartstrings, a widow places flowers on a grave she’s been tending
You see newlywed tears under confetti spray, that couple one table over with nothing left to say, words struggle to hold the heavy of all that weight
But you put it together & you come know, the greater the heart the more cracks it can hold, while a small part of you knows that at some point it might be too late, so

Chorus
