First and foremost, I wanna thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has given me a passion for words and melody…who has healed me many times and shown me love through redemption.
To Mike Wrucke…there is only one you in the world and you’re all I could ever want. You bring my music to life, and bring my life such happiness. This record is a perfect example of how you love and care for someone…. You pay attention to every detail, you put time and love into it, and you patiently work at it without taking away the heart of it. Thank you for this gift you’ve given me. I love you so much.
To My Parents, Tom and Deanna.. thank you for giving me the gift of music, humility, kindness, tenacity, and spunk. You both have believed in me when no one else did. I love you both so much.
To Mike’s Parents, Charles and Patricia… thank you for being supportive in helping your son move to Nashville. I can’t imagine my life without his love and talent. I love you both so much.
To Sammie Jo… no one is more proud of their child than I am of you. You are a beautiful girl, but you have a beautiful and empathic heart. You are 50 times more talented than me and I can’t wait to take you on the road to sing harmonies. You’re the best song I could ever hope to write. I love you so much.
To Adam Sensenbrenner and everyone at Mick Management… thank you for taking a chance on me. Thank you for taking me under your wing and believing in me and helping me realize my crazy dreams. I’m so proud to be managed and loved by you, because I love you guys so much.
To Mark Williams and Margi Cheske… thank you for tapping me on the shoulder before I walked out of the Troubadour. I have felt such a musical kinship with you both and everyone on the Fantasy team. Thank you for giving me the record deal I always hoped for when I was a kid.
A big thank you to all the writers for sharing your musical genius and your friendship with me … Aaron Raitiere, KS Rhoads, Sunny Sweeney, Barry Dean, Jeff Trott, Miranda Lambert, Kelly Archer, JoAnna Janét, Maren Morris, Tj Osborne, John Osborne, Jedd Hughes, Rose Cousins, Jabe Beyer, Madison Kozak…
To Lenore and Keith and everyone at Paradigm…. Thank you for helping this girl get on a stage and for thinking outside the box.
Mike and I both wanna thank Chuck Leavell, Greg Leisz, and Dan Needham for their insane talent. Thank you to Mark Dobson, Trace Foster, and Howie Weinberg Mastering for their insane genius. David Crow and Kella Stephenson for their protective wings. Thank you to Walter Carter at Carter Vintage Guitars and Mark Arnold for always taking care of us and our instruments.
And thank you to anyone who has listened or bought my music. I don’t take if for granted… I’m grateful everyday for you.
