With help on studio instruments overseas from pedal steel player Justin Schipper whose career has seen him work with some of the best Country artists which include Shania Twain, Josh Turner and Carrie Underwood.
His debut single Whiskey Eyes, released 10th November 2019 features Kentucky native Kinsey Rose giving her amazing vocal talent from across the pond. Based on a story from Alan’s time at University. Silverball Country says: “Backed by a powerfully strong beat throughout from the guitar and drums this really is beautiful storytelling in the country tradition. The theme is a Country favourite – it’s a song about loss and only truly realising what you have when its gone.”
Big Man Small Town, released 20th December is the creation of Alan’s memories of living in his hometown. Previewed in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium by Hunter Wolfe, one of the recording technicians at the studio. He says that it has a reminiscent 90’s country sound, with the best bits of modern country pop and rock to provide an upbeat sound that many people will enjoy.
