Thank you to those who have been praying for and supporting the vision of the new Slim Dusty Tribute album. Bed tracks and lead vocals are all done and this week we complete backing vocals and additional instruments. Some of Nashville’s finest turned up to play on this album and we get the feeling it will be well received by country music audiences in Australia. I have to be honest and say… I still get overwhelmed with the doors God opens and the opportunities He provides to record songs in a city like Nashville. It blows me away!! Somehow Brent Mason, known as the most in demand session electric guitar player in America at the moment… found some days to dedicate his skills to the 11 songs we’ve recorded. Thanks also to John Hammond who has toured the world with many of the greats, an incredible drummer.
Our prayer is that this project will find a brand new audience in the mainstream country music market in Australia. By honouring one of our greatest singer/ songwriters and paying tribute to a collection of his songs… I believe we will effectively reach many with the Gospel message. Thanks for believing in the dream with us.
