As a departure, he has also included three cover songs that he has always wanted to produce and perform. Classic tunes reimagined but still with the flavor of the original. The Guitar Man written by David Gates-Bread, These Days written by Jackson Browne, and Flying Turkey Trot, his tribute to one of his guitar heroes, the late Gary Richrath formerly of REO Speedwagon.
" I wish I could say that it's releasing post-pandemic but I'm happy to be launching it now. The name of the album and even some of the lyrical content represent the current climate somewhat. I'm excited to let it go this year with the hopes of gaining traction and momentum into the 2022 concert season."
