Musicians:
Spooner Oldham (piano) – One of the original Swampers from Muscle Shoals. Has played on hundreds of hit songs by Aretha Franklin to Neil Young and too many to mention.
Mark T. Jordan (Hammond organ and piano) – Mark played on Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey record. Many tours with his as well. He also toured with Jackson Browne on his Pretender tour. As well as Lyle Lovett.
Mike McAdam (guitar) Mike is known as a top notch guitar slinger and played and recorded with Steve Earle on Copperhead Road. He has many many recording and touring credits.
Dann Sherrill (drums and percussion) – Dann is not only one of my best friends, he is one of the most gifted players and nicest guys you will ever meet. We have played on my records together including Summervilla-Work to do and both my solo records. His knowledge of Afro-Cuban grooves to the old school rock and blues in unsurpassed by most out there.
Jim Brock (drums and percussion) – As I said I wanted to the best. Jim Brock is a legend in the Charlotte music scene and already was even when I began playing around there in the early 80s. His credits look like the greatest rock, folk and jazz artists in the world.
Rick Plant (guitar) – I met Rick very early on when I moved to Nashville. We did lots of playing and recording together. He was working with Buddy and Julie Miller when he moved from Nashville To Melbourne, Australia! So we are kindred spirits! He was about my favorite picker in town.
Danny Carter (vocals) – What can I say about Danny. I worked with Danny and Tim for 18 years. We are brothers through and through. He is one of the best songwriters and singers you will ever hear. I wouldn’t think of doing a recording without him.
Tim Carter (banjo, mandolin, vocals) – Tim is known as one of the finest human beings you will ever know. He is also an astounding musician and recording engineer. I can safely say every record I have done would not be possible without him. He has guided me through each one with patience and encouragement. Tim has 4 Grammys on his wall to prove he is one of the best at what he does.
Richard Crooks – Legendary session drummer known for playing on Bob Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks album. He worked with Dr. John for 20 years or so. I was lucky to be able to briefly befriend him when he moved to Key West. He was kind enough to play on a track for me.
Robert Bowlin – Robert is one of the most talented guys on the planet. He was a fiddler for Bill Monroe for several years. He is an amazing player all the way around. A good friend too and we have made many records together over the years, including two of mine.
