Howdy, after touring with Alabama for 18 years I’m finally getting to do a few things at home. It’s great to be a civilian and nice to be off the road! I can’t complain about the Alabama days or the band—it was always great to be on the road with them. When I first started with the guys in 1987 I really thought that my Alabama gig would last a year or two—well that just shows you not only how good the songs, the guys and the management were and but how great the Alabama fans are! Somehow 18 years later that last farewell date in Bismarck, ND came and went—an end to an incredible era! Since I’ve been home I’ve been working mainly with my daughter, Jennifer Hanson. If you see her live I’ll be the old guy in the back—I’m not sure that I’m plugged in or even in the house mix but just humor me—I’m just proud to be out with my kid.I still play with Alabama’s Jeff Cook, working with Cook & Glenn and the AGB Band. Jeff and Mitch have a single soon to be released on Lofton Creek Records.Also, I’m playing with Tim Briggs when I’m out in LA. I played with Tim back in the 90’s, on his first CD, with his live band and together on the road with Alabama. Tim’s writing is as great as ever—check out his MySpace and hear a few of his new songs.The last couple of years I’ve been in the studio recording for many different projects. I’ve had the chance to not only play guitar but the Hammond B3 which I love doing! I’m also writing and recording for Crew 22, a production company here in Nashville.During my career I’ve had the honor to work with these artist and groups: Alabama, The Righteous Brothers, Bill Medley, Jennifer Hanson, Gretchen Wilson, Kenny Chesney, Jim Nabors, Darlene Love, Mark Nesler, Bob Gulley, Dick Dale, Tim Briggs, MeKenna Medley, The Midnighters, Little Anthony, Maureen McDonald, The Bait Brothers, Dan Carlin, Jerry Quary (yeah—the boxer), Cook & Glenn and the AGB, Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, Great Plains, The Sauna Boys, The Skylar Brothers, Bim Bam, Madness, Taxi Dancer, Rainbow, The Racque, The Human Zoo—thanks for visiting my site.
