Hey Guys, I did an Interview with the Gadsden Times today about the release of "Roll Your Mind", my newest CD.   It's good to get some hometown support!  My Gadsden CREW is one of the most loyal bunch in the world!  Thanks to all the people who have helped me out throughout the years! (you know who you are),  You guys are the reason I have had the opportunity to do what I do for such a long time without having to go work for THE MAN!  For the next couple months I will only be playing my regular Wednesday and Thursday shows.  I have to do real work, like promotion for the new album.  Ill be sure to post the tour schedule asap.  If you can make it to the CD release party on november 25 & 26, it will be at LU LU's in Gulf Shores, AL., I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks, Albert...........

Finally finished recording Roll Your Mind ,  an all original cd where I played all the Instruments.  I've always wanted to do a record like this.  It sounds exactly the way I hear it in my head!  I even produced it with the help of Mark Turnham from Excessivesound.com .  I have to give Mark credit where it is due!  He does an incredible job of recording.  Besides being a great producer / engineer, he has also become a very close friend.  I'm not sure about when im gonna release this album because I want to do it right.  It's the first one I have had complete control over, so there is gonna be a learning curve for me.  All I know is that I am excited and proud of what is done so far!  I'm also very proud to have such a wonderful artist (my wife, Sharon Maudsley} at my disposal.  She did all the artwork for the album.  Hats off to my girl!   Catch You guys later!

Yesterday was a very good day for me! I didn't have to go very far to have a good time. If you like to paddle, you might want to check out Nelson's Redneck Yacht Club.  Owners, Hank and Teresa Nelson have one of the best venues in Alabama for a festival event.  It's almost like a natural ampitheatre.  I made some great new friends, had some good food, and had a blast!  Just google the event and you will be able to find out all about what you missed if you were not one of the lucky ones who made it this year!  Thanks to Ricky Kingery, I now own a fiddle!  Ricky won the raffle for the fiddle and gave it to me.  Everyone should give a big shout out to Mike and Wendy Quinn for all their hard work in making this happen!  Hope to see you there next year!
