It was a guy in his dance studio teaching the world line-dancing steps to Get Down! It was totally amazing. We contacted Cef, who it turns out is a line-dancing instructor from Idaho, told him how great we thought it was, and next thing you know we had even more footage to work with. We knew this stuff had to be shared. Cef is a great guy and I thank him (and his wonderful class!) wholeheartedly for sharing his pure talent and enthusiasm with me and letting me share it with you. Doug worked really hard to bring the finished product you’re about to see together.
Listen: "Where The Night Goes" When I first got my driver's license I used to drive around to all the tiny towns that dotted the farmland where I grew up. Sometimes I was with friends, sometimes I was alone. Sometimes I went so far that it was well past dark when I got home. "Where the Night Goes" is about a memory springing back to life. It's about second chances and tough girls and the savor of a time that has just begun and must surely end, no matter where it leads us in the in-between. I remember fall nights at the football game, the wheat fields freshly shorn, their stubble burning, filling the autumn air with harvest dust, sweet smoke, and the light of the red-orange ball that was the rising moon. To think of nights like that is to let the moonlight in, half-bright like my memories of those times. Maybe there was never a night like that. Maybe there was. It was in my head though, like a dream I'd only just remembered. And when I remembered it, I had to write about it. (Oh yeah, and this is a picture that my mom took of the place I grew up. Beautiful, huh?) Pre-order Sermon on the RocksWe’re getting closer to the 10/16 release of Sermon on the Rocks.
