    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

Something’s Gotta Give

Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give

I been losing sleep, mind churning overtime
Bucket full of dreams, flaws in their design
All this shadow boxing, all this black and blue
Choices, chances, get the best of you
Feet dangling in the fire flirting with a flame
and a smile pasted on my face

Chorus
Won’t be remembered for the things I never did
I’m on the precipice of the thick of it
Take this crown as tarnished as it is
Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give oh
Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give

I fear the day when dreams become explanations
Naked, on trial nowhere to run
With a compass & a map clutched into my hand & an hour glass run out of sand
Keeping arms length from all my re grets
Life teaches you lessons then it gives you the test

Chorus

Oh the hours are fleeting
Oh for my mind to be believing in my heart

Chorus
