This is the same question I keep asking myself!

First of all, THANK YOU to all of you who are still waiting so patiently for my album to be ready.  I've been saying 'Its coming!' since last fall and here we are in July still with nothing to give you.

So here is the scoop.  The original plan was to release an 8 song album.  All of the songs were recorded and ready to go when we ran into a couple problems with the licensing of the songs. There were two songs in particular that we were having difficulty with and they just happened to be the only two songs that I wasn't a writer on. Long story short, I can't put them on my album (at least not at this point).  This was really a tough blow for me because they are both really great songs, but that's life.

I contemplated releasing a 6 song EP, but decided to go back to Nashville instead.  Sometimes what seems to be these things turn out to be a blessing in disguise.  My producer (Adam) and I spent a week in June planning to replace the 2 songs I had lost and ended up with 4 new songs! I can say with complete confidence that these are the best songs yet!  The final cherry on top is that now I can say that I wrote every song on my album (a fact I am very proud of).

So where are we now in this process?  I will be going back to Nashville in July to record these 4 new songs and we hope to have everything ready by . . . . well, let's just say as soon as possible (I've learned my lesson with promising release dates).

Thanks for sticking with me through this LONG process.  I promise you it will be worth the wait.
