Years ago I worked in a fine furniture and cabinet shop, with a few friends of mine (brothers) Cory and Grant Batson.  Turns out the brothers have turned out to be luthiers and are building some amazing guitars!  These guitars not only sound great, but they are works of art!  They have Incorporated some pretty unique design innovations (the soundport, the trussbrase, the sureboard and the shortail).

Grant has been asking me to come out to the shop for some time and last night we finally hooked up.  I saw the shop(killer), played some beautiful guitars(sounded great) and we celebrated the moment with a few brews!  Good times, check out the link.  http://batsonguitars.com/

Josh Ragsdale (along w/his crew) and I were in the studio the last few days tracking a new tune. Really cool tune and we’ll be writing more soon along w/Tammi Kidd. Both Josh and Tammi are killer talents, you’ll be hearing from them soon enough!
