It's been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different result. That maxim was the basis for this song. So I put it in a smoky bar, soaked it in beer and added some heartbreak. Thus, "Drink" was born. 

The second song on the new album (Blanco County Lights) is also the oldest song on the album. I wrote Doing Well (and I hope you are!) almost 10 years ago and it was included on my first record. 

The album opens with "When You Come to Me." I wrote this song a few summers ago while I was trying to finish another song -- something that happens a lot. The melody for the chorus came into my head and I realized it was a different song entirely, so I followed the muse down a different path. I'm glad I did, as it lead me to one of my favorite songs I've written to date.
