Sure Empty Now
Song from my latest album The Last Tall Tree
Working on a Building
This is a great version of the classic Bill Monroe tune. It comes from Steve Hanson’s solo CD–Songs from the Fire. I co-produced this CD with Steve and you can hear the Lightning Bugs singing background vocals.

This Land is Our Land
Here is a new version of the classic Woody Guthrie song with lyrics I wrote regarding our fight to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. This was recorded at the Bold Nebraska Solar barn near Benedict, Ne. This barn was built by volunteers in the projected path of the pipeline. It is completely powered by solar and wind sources. This song features the Toasted Ponies and will be part of a special compilation CD/DVD featuring many of the midwest’s finest musicians. Proceeds from CD/DVD sales will go to support BoldNebraska.

Simple Man
Here is an acoustic version of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic from Steve Hanson’s new CD—FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I co-produced the CD and this track features the Lightning Bugs along with fiddler Sam Packard. For more information go to: stevehansonmusic.com.

I’ll Go Too
There are a lot of goodbye songs–probably because goodbye is certainly one of the most inescapable aspects to this little puzzle we call life. So here’s one more goodbye tune to add to the book.
Deep Elem Blues
The Toasted Ponies put a new spin on a great old song telling of the perils found on the deep end of an infamous street in Dallas, Texas.
