These Cowboy Blues

This month, I released my eighth album, These Cowboy Blues. It’s now avaiable in all the places you get music.

TCB is inspired mostly by a conversation with my good friend TS about what a Paul Schiernecker country album would sound like. What ended up happening is that I filtered my own music through with some cowboy references in the lyrics and little else that could make it a country album. All the same, it was a lot of fun.

This album consists of ten songs, which I’ve spent the last year working on. The underlying message is about recovery and personal growth, continuing to fight your corner and not giving up when things are a little tough.

I make music for the sole purpose of enjoying the process of doing it. That’s an unusual thing (for me at least). It’s a catalogue of a time and a recognition of where I am at. Having self recorded and released a number of them now, that’s how I see this. It’s an opportunity for me to share where I am at and look to spread a smile every once in a while.
