SPECIAL THANKS FROM THE MCCORMICK BORTHERS

We have been very excited about this project from beginning until its completion. We feel this is some of our best work. Thanks to Buddy Butts for believing in us and his willingness to produce this C.D.. Thanks to Jimmy Tarbutton for his hard work in the studio as engineer and the long hours to make this project a reality. What an honor it was to have some of the best musicians in the bluegrass field to be a part of this C.D.. Michael Cleveland, thanks for your creativity on the fiddle and mandolin. What an awesome musician to work with. He was an inspiration to all of us. Haskel and Michael was having so much fun we didn't know where to stop them so we just opened the microphones and let them pick. You will get the same feeling as you listen to Old Joe Clark. We are excited to have William's son Jason singing tenor, playing mandolin, snare drum, and singing solo's on this C.D. and working with us on our show dates and festivals. What a voice! Gerald's grandson Aaron Bible is playing the bluegrass box drum. He is only 13 years old, but already a very accomplished drummer. This acoustical box gives Three Men On A Mountain and Twilight Zone a sound we feel everyone will enjoy. Our thanks to Carl Franklin who works show dates with us and is also a big part of this C.D.. He is one of the best
traditional bluegrass fiddlers that you will hear. He has worked with Bill Monroe, Dave Peterson's Band 1946, and many other great bluegrass groups. It was exciting to hear him say, "When I start hang on." You will understand when you hear I Still Miss Someone. A fun guy to work with in the studio and on the road. We have a special guest appearance from Haskel's granddaughter, Ragen. She is fast becoming a great fiddle player, and is only 10 years old. Ragen and Haskel team up on Cripple Creek. All you can say is just great picking. William demonstrates his skilled bass playing through out this project. He exemplifies some great licks as he picks out on Salty Dog Blues. We feel sure you will appreciate his solid bass rhythm on each song and his bass harmony on the quartet songs. Gerald is playing rhythm guitar and sings harmony and lead vocals. His singing has a lot of feel and expression in each song. Haskel's five string banjo picking is as fast and smooth as it was 54 years ago on Hickory Records. His expression through his picking is always exciting and uplifting to listen to. He also gives you this same feeling when he is picking the guitar on Camping In Canaan's Land. We hope you have as much fun listening to this C.D. as we did making it. Our thanks to everyone who had a part in making this project a reality.
