I've had the good fortune to enjoy a relatively stable band in recent years, no doubt due to the lavish paychecks I give out (brief pause for howls of laughter). Jon Weisberger and Ned Luberecki have played with me for over 6 years, and I've never enjoyed playing music more than I have with those guys. It took us a while to get in the studio, though, because my first release after they joined was a live album for the Strictly Country label in the Netherlands (though Jon and Ned did play on the bonus track of that album, "Diesel Smoke on Danger Road"). After that I signed with Little Dog Records in LA (with whom I'm still signed) and I recorded "Too Far Down the Road", produced by the Grammy-winning producer, Pete Anderson. Though there were bluegrass elements to the CD, some of it was pretty straight ahead country (but in a Pete Anderson kind of way). Pete Anderson and Little Dog were nice enough to let us record this project on the side. I produced it myself, but I couldn't have done it without the expertise of engineer Ben Surratt and the creative contributions of the other Night Drivers.
