kinds of things when you start saying them are so powerful. So, this song, even though it’s so fun, it captures a lot. And there is praise at the end, which is really fun. It’s one of my favorite songs for sure. [WM] Is there anything else that you would like to tell us about the album or any of the songs? [Chris] No, I think we covered it, I love telling the story of how it came to be, it was just a surprise record and wasn’t anything I was looking for. I think that’s the story I love telling, because it wasn’t a master plan, it just happened. I feel like as the river was going, the current was going, and I was just trying to get in the river and get in the current where it was taking me. And I think thirteen or fourteen records in it’s pretty special to feel something like that and to do something I’ve never done before. [WM] In closing I’m going to ask you a question that I’ve only asked one other Texan now living in Tennessee. If you could import real barbeque from any Texas establishment, what barbeque would you choose? [Chris] That’s a great question. I’m pretty simple, and I love Rudy’s Barbeque. They started in San Antonio, now it’s in Austin, now it’s kind of franchising all over Texas. But man do I miss Rudy’s. It’s the sauce, to me in Texas they do the brisket so well in so many places, they’ve got it down. It’s the sauce, and Rudy’s sauce, it has all that spice in it, it’s so good. Right now, you’re making me so hungry thinking about Rudy’s Barbeque. (laughing) [WM] Thank you Chris! May this project reach and impact many lives that would normally not hear songs like these. [Chris] Thank you, I appreciate it.
