This CD started out as a collection of songs you might hear on any jukebox in a real blues bar or roadhouse anywhere you might be able to find cold beer and killer barbeque. Of course, only the best beer joints are found out in the country, where only a few people know the exact location and the bar clientele are happy to see a new face. These are the selections I would make if I found myself standing in front of an old Rock-ola or Wurlitzer jukebox on any Saturday night far away from the strip malls and theme restaurants.

I hope this collection of songs takes you to your favorite bar, roadhouse, beer joint or Rib shack, where the music is good and the joint is jumpin and a new adventure waits for you down that two lane road.
