From Jeannie:
In recording this CD, it wasn’t my intention to ‘cover’ any of these great performances by some of the most talented artists of our time, but rather to do these wonderful old songs in the way I hear and feel them….for me. It brings me such joy to hear them again, and to relive some wonderful memories of that special time in our lives we were all privileged to share….artists, friends and fans alike....called ‘youth’! I hope you will enjoy this “Vintage” collection and that it will bring back some old memories for you….as we make new ones together.
Speaking of memories, Billie Jo Spears and I shared many ‘memorable moments’ during our heyday, and we had such a good time reminiscing when we toured Ireland together recently…I haven’t stopped laughing or humming "Blanket On The Ground" since then…."Funny How Time Slips Away" came about after being asked to perform a tribute to Billy Walker on the Tuesday Night Opry following his fatal accident….and that song is for Bettie, Charlie Lilly and Danny Patton as well. I can never sing enough Willie Nelson songs….and I can still remember my mother singing and dancing to "Darktown Strutters’ Ball"…..hopefully I did a respectable female version of Jimmy "Dickens’ Another Bridge To Burn"….he was, is and will always be my hero. I am very proud to share the spotlight with Danny Davis and Tim Atwood on a couple duets, and I thank them for sharing their remarkable talents with me.
My appreciation goes to the incredibly creative musicians, with special thanks to Grammy nominee Dawn Sears….and once again, my most sincere thanks to Ron Harman who continues to keep me up and running…he seems to know how to do everything…and does it so well. It was only fitting that we record this Vintage collection at Hilltop Recording Studio with the Master John Nicholson at the helm…Hilltop is the oldest independent studio in Nashville whose doors have never been closed since opening in 1963….and whose phone number has never been changed…615-865-5272…I recommend it!
As I enter my sixth decade of recording with this project….I want to extend a huge Thanks to all of you who have been on my bandwagon for such a long time….as well as to those of you just joining us. I hope the ride’s not over…so Welcome Aboard…..and Hang On!!
