Country Side

“Riders of the Road” is a cinematic outlaw country ballad, paying heartfelt tribute to The Highwaymen—Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. With deep baritone vocals, acoustic storytelling, and a slow-burning rhythm, the song honors their legacy as legends who carved their truth into every mile of the open road. A timeless journey through rebellion, brotherhood, and the fire that never dies.

Common Bridges is a collection of songs about the ties that hold us together — across generations, across struggles, across the places we call home. It’s an album built on honesty, grit, and hope, carrying the spirit of country, gospel, and soul into one powerful story.

From the barroom anthems of “Butte USA” and “Old Montana” to the mountain reflections of “Above the Clouds,” these songs honor the land and the people who shaped it. “The Old Soldier” tells of brotherhood, sacrifice, and survival, while “One Life to Hold” and “In Another Life” remind us to cherish joy, learn from regret, and keep moving forward. “Time to Give a Damn” is a gospel-soul rallying cry to reclaim compassion and common sense, while “Ain’t No Need” offers peace in knowing that bitterness and hate only hold us back.

With outlaw country swagger, gospel fire, and the honesty of mountain folk, Common Bridges is more than an album — it’s a journey across the divides of pain and pride toward the places where we still meet, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart.
