    "a sound and style that epitomises all that is so good about the Americana genre. This is honest roots music by a veteran artist who makes music on his own terms regardless of current fads and fancies. We celebrate artists like that - especially when the music is of such uniformly high quality." - Maverick Magazine

lyrics

Violet Skies
Whirl like a dervish howling at a moon. Someday looks like pretty soon
Speed strength stamina. Looks like I'm having a dream
Go get Goliath and David's on his way
I think something good's gonna' happen today
Twenty years from Tuesday. Looks like I'm having a dream

The sun was red in violet skies

Pray to the one who answers all your prayers
Wear what you want but avoid all the stares
Call out the Calvary. Looks like I'm having a dream

Hold back the water with your thumb in a dam
Look in the mirror and guess who I am
Say something simple. Looks like I'm having a dream

The sun was red in violet skies

Say 10 20 30 40 50 million. Words can be as deadly as any gun
Can you believe it. Looks like I'm having a dream

Open up the closet let the skeleton out
You're living in the present while the past still shouts
Close out my calendar. Looks like I'm having a dream

The sun was red in violet skies
