Search - :: Songs From The Regal Ranch Sessions

Songs from The Regal Ranch Sessions was recorded in a make shift studio housed in defunct A-frame saloon on the Regal Ranch property outside of Houston. Tracks for Ranch Sessions were also cut in Austin, New York City and my former hometown metropolis of Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Looking at this record's title and cover, most people think that this stuff is country. Believe it or not, Ive never been a real country type of a guy. In fact, some people would find it hard to believe (being an Oklahoma State University Cowboy alum) Ive never even been on a horse........Besides I grew up "Sailing On" to Commodores records on my dads turntable.

A lot of this record features songwriter/ producer/ multi-instrumentalist Matt Hammon. Matt has toured been behind the drum kit backing Ben Folds, Sixpence None the Richer, Cary Pierce (Jack OPierce) and Bob Mould (former front man of legendary English pioneer punk-band Husker Du and Sugar).

Track # 6 Roy Rogers in California really showcases the drumming genius of Mr. Hammon. Making my first record took a lot of time but was a great experience. So was working with a talent like Matt and co-producer Jimmy Pizzitola. I also would like to thank long-time friend Adam Headrick in New York City and Nathan Clewell from Daddio's Music in Stillwater for contributions to Track #10 State of Dakota. The track has been getting some recent airplay on 90.1 KPFT in Houston.
