Friends,
This album has been long in the making. From my early beginnings in the wild West of Australia looking up to my heroes like Norma Kelly, Alby Pool and Sarge Warner, I had been listening to Country Music from an early age, Hank Williams Sr, in particular. The late Stuart Leuba from the Country Music Centre of W.A. introduced me to the music of Waylon jennings and Earl Reeve, who hosted a long-running Country Music radio program in Western Australia, encouraged me to enter the only talent quest I ever entered, and I won. I knew I had something to offer Country Music. Since those early times in Western Australia and subsequently moving to South Australia, I have enjoyed playing Country Music with a good many musicians in many places throughout Australia. In 2004, I was inducted into the South Australian Country Music Hall Of Fame. I acquired my Diploma of Music Industry (Technical Production) in 2008 and had already built my recording studio, now called “The Refinery” in O’Sullivan Beach, South Australia. I had everything it takes to record a CD album, except songs. I began to write songs and together with my good friend Darin Warner, I co-wrote most of the songs on this album. Now I had everything it takes, except a producer. Mike Festa (The Blues Man) came from New York via London and Texas and is a multi-instrumentalist in Blues and Country Music, and as such, I knew he had a lot to offer in the making of this album, so I invited him to produce the album for my newly formed independent label CBM Records. Mike plays almost everything with strings on this album and co-wrote a song with me as well as producing the album. Tim Whibley, of T J Productions mixed the album, his patience, perseverance, gentle manner and excellent ears made this mix the best it could be. Trev Warner provided the fiddle tracks with his usual enthusiasm and Miguel Garcia the drum tracks. Steve Sherrah and Tracy Stewart added the wonderful harmony vocals. Mastering engineer, Neville Clark of Disk-Edits in Adelaide did a superb mastering job. An old friend, Peter Evans of Evans Photographics took the mug shots and Megan Short of MJS Design did the Graphic Artwork and put this booklet together. To all those mentioned above, I owe a sincere debt of thanks from the bottom of my heart. A special thanks to Dave Younger of Younger-Hail Songwriters in the USA for offering me the opportunity to sing “Whatever Happened”. To everyone who has ever supported me in my journey, you all know who you are, thanks for your patience and support. Thank you Lord for keeping me alive long enough to do this, I continue to count all of my blessings. Lastly , and most importantly, thank you to my partner and love of my life, Jill, who allowed me to do this instead of finishing her kitchen, thank you so much, you make me “A Better Man” and you are “Too Good For Words”, thank you also for looking after me all these years, God knows I can’t look after myself. In recording this album, I have become what I always wanted to be, a Country Music songwriter, performer and recording artist. If I were to dedicate this album to any one person, it would be the late Waylon Jennings. Waylon was my hero and I miss him so much. My thanks in advance go to all the people who buy this album and all the radio presenters who play the songs on it. God bless you!
I hope you enjoy this album of Country Music as much as we enjoyed making it.
Charlie.
