I am so fortunate to have several special guest musicians on this recording and each one added their incredible talent and unique feel to the songs they performed on. A VERY special thanks to: Sam Bush, Mike Compton, Aubrey Haynie, Ronnie McCoury, Jimmy Mattingly, Tony Wray, Tim Surrett, Paul Harrigill and Dominic Illingworth it was an honor to pick with you folks! I also want to make special mention of a couple of musicians that I don t refer to as guests because they are my band mates in The Grascals Kristin Scott Benson and Adam Haynes. Thanks to you both for the awesome playing you did and especially to Kristin for helping me work these tunes up out on the road. Thanks to every one for making my tunes sound just like I heard them in my head! I want to thank my girls, Andrea and Jaelee, for providing the vocals on this CD. I don t have the words to adequately say how it feels to hear them singing some of my favorite songs. And to top it off, having my 12-year-old daughter sing on this certainly has made this daddy mighty happy and just a little bit proud! Jaelee Danielle Roberts, you are our gift from God. I love my girls and I am truly blessed!! Thank you to Mickey Gamble and ALL of the wonderful folks at Mountain Home/Crossroads for allowing me do this project I m so glad to be part of the family! I want to also give a special shout out to Van Atkins for the awesome recording and mixing at Crossroads Studios and to Paul Harrigill for doing a great job engineering the overdub sessions at Dark Horse Recording Studios. Thanks also to my other band mates in The Grascals Terry Eldredge, Jamie Johnson, and Terry Smith it s hard to believe we ve been running the roads together for ten years! Thanks to Tony Conway (Conway Entertainment), Victoria Fister (Fister, CPA), Tim Dillman, David Crow (Milom, Horsnell, Crow, Rose, Kelley, PLC) and Claire Ratliff (Laughing Penguin Publicity) for handling all of the business. As always, I m thankful to my mom, dad and family for supporting me from the beginning and to the Mullins clan that I married into for always rooting me on. I m also very grateful for the wonderful friends that I have made over the years and your continued support means the world to me. Thanks also to my pastor, Brother Joel Young, and all my church family at Redemption Baptist Church. Finally, I have to say an extra special thanks to my wife Andrea for everything she does to help me: for being my extra ears for producing, my secretary, my booking agent, my schedule keeper, and most importantly for being my best friend. Above all, I want to thank my Savior, Jesus Christ, for salvation and all that He has blessed me with without Him nothing is possible.
