I'm in the process of preparing to record my next album. We've now done two sessions for this as-yet-untitled project. I (along with my record label) am also in the process for raising the funds to record, master, manufacture and promote the album.

To that end, I am taking pre-orders for this album, and also have started releasing some live recordings... the first is a live acoustic performance of my song "Magnolia Road" at Smith Park in Jackson, Mississippi from the fall of 2008. I am offering three options:

- Individual mp3 recordings will be downloadable for just $1.39 (payable by credit card or PayPal), starting with "Magnolia Road"
- for $10: a lifetime subscription to all live download releases
- for $25: a lifetime subscription to all live download releases, PLUS you will receive a digital download of the new album prior to its official release AND an actual physical copy of the album as soon as it comes back from the manufacturer. In other words, you'll be pre-ordering the album as well as getting the live recordings.

You can purchase the song or one of these packages by going to this link:

Every single penny raised through these sales will go directly toward the cost of recording, mastering, manufacturing, and promoting the album. We're already off to a great start, but there's still a long way to go (releasing and promoting an album, especially in today's music world, is an expensive and time-consuming process.

Even if you just purchase one digital download, you'll be supporting independent music in a very direct and tangible way, and it's very much appreciated!!!
