SWEET DREAMS
From the album Back Home in Country
Listen: Sweet Dreams
I have always loved Patsy Cline. She is my favorite artist of all time as she sings with so much soul and passion.
I had just finished a recording session of some of my gospel songs and walked out from the recording booth into the open room where the piano was. The keyboard player from the session walked in and sat down at the piano and played a song while I listened. He then asked me if I liked Patsy Cline as he said the timber in my voice reminded him a lot of Patsy. Yes, I answered and I mentioned that Sweet Dreams was one of my favorites. He said to sing a long with him as He began to play Sweet Dreams. No mics, relaxed, just he and I and Gary and the engineer behind the window in the mixing booth.
Little did I know that the engineer had turned the live mics on in the room and we were being recorded. I thanked the piano player and went in to see what Gary thought of the recording session we had just completed. He said, "Listen to this and tell me what you think." It was Sweet Dreams! Just simply done and we decided to add it to the album.
I do believe that Gary is the more creative one between the two of us! Once again, thank you!
