The Long Haul (2015) is an EP excerpted from about 30-some demos I made between 2010 and 2015 for the Nashville sausage machine in the early 2000s. With the skill, talent and friendship of John Macy at Macy sound Studios, we turned 12 or 15 of them into actual artist tracks and then (after selling plasma downtown for a few months) I still had enough money left to put out this 6-song EP. All six songs are cowrites from my time trying to be IN Nashville, but not OF Nashville--songs, like thousands a year in that town, that I don't think ever got the attention they deserved.
