I Don't Need The Whiskey Anymore
When I started this project I had no real plan or direction. I just started by choosing songs that I like. I didn't choose them all at once, some were thought out and a few were spur of the moment decisions. While working on the sequencing of the songs for the disc, listening to them over and over, I realized there is direction or, at least a pattern to the madness. I had chosen songs that were of the styles I had grown up with. The title track, "I Don't Need The Whiskey Anymore" is the kind of honky-tonk bluegrass I cut my teeth on as a kid playing fiddlers conventions. "Dad's Medley" takes me back to that same time; backing up old-time fiddlers. I was influenced by the "Folk Scare" of the early sixties, especially Mississippi John Hurt and Doc Watson. "See See Rider " and "Through the Country" are examples of the country blues I was exposed to in the South. "I Could Find A Way " and "McKinley's Blues" bring me around to what I enjoy playing today. I had the honor of making music with my some of my best friends and found a renewed appreciation for where I've been, along with an insight into where I'm going. I hope you enjoy it.
