IT'S SIMPLE

Over the years, some people have asked me “Have you ever recorded a follow up to ‘From Here to Eternity?” They told me they would like a song that would be about the same couple a few years into their marriage. This is that song. 

Co-written with my producers Robert Ellis Orrall and Josh Leo, the song “Before Another Day Goes By” was a hidden track on the “Being Human” album. As a result, some of you may have missed this…until now. Enjoy!

BEFORE ANOTHER DAY GOES BY

This version of “Silent Night.” is the only Christmas song I have ever recorded. Produced by the late great Buddy Killen. This was featured in the companion CD for the book “A Country Music Christmas.” By Edie Hand and Buddy Killen in 2006.
