Artists in not only country but other genres usually make four or five albums, then they change producers to keep their sound moving forward.

As you know, the business is cyclic with styles. It's no different from clothing styles.

Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound.

In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.

My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s.

But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that.

Our show doesn't rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music.
