I'm well aware of how lucky I am to find and play great songs by great writers, and I'd love it if you'd find out more about them. Here are links to some of their websites.

Michael Reynolds	The enormously talented and eerily pretty Michael Reynolds wrote Longest Road, the third track on "Far Enough Away." He's doing his own thing as one of the founding members of a cool alt-country band called Pin Monkey. You've GOT to hear what they've done to Sugar Ray...	http://www.pinmonkey.net
Steve Earle	Steve Earle ("Fearless Heart") looks tough, plays loud and writes gorgeous. I love what he has to say musically and politically and wish everyone in the world knew about him.	http://www.steveearle.net
Dana Cooper	Cooper ("Standing In My Own Way") is my touring hero -- the road warrior I strive to be. He's got fans all over the place and is worshipped as a near-god in Texas, and his too-true lyrics and beautiful melodies never fail to get me. Join the club.	http://www.songs.com/dc/
Paul Brady	I got to meet Paul Brady ("The World Is What You Make It") once, but i was too shy and dorky to actually tell him how cool I thought his music was. Plus that Irish accent got me all a-flutter. He's written tons of famous songs, and you should know about him.	http://www.paulbrady.com
Ross Rice	When I meet musicians, I drop Ross Rice's ("Gone") name as a measure of taste: if they love and worship him, it's a good bet we'll get along fine. His record is so damn funky, it'll become one of your favorites.	http://www.e2records.com/rossr.html
