Album Thanks
I want to thank everyone who has been there for me through the ups and downs along the way – Lord knows there have been many. To all my family, friends and fans that have supported - and continue to support me - I wouldn’t be here without you and I am so grateful. I really tried my best to show you who I am as an artist and as a person on this record, and I really hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did making it. A huge thanks to all my co-writers and all the writers who contributed to this project.
Special thanks to my Mom and Dad who have supported me 100% from the get go and never once told me to ever give up on my dream. To my wonderful Jill for making life better; and my three dogs Dakota, Gizmo and our new Mexican immigrant, Stella, for unconditional love. Big thanks to my partners in crime, Eddie Gore and Johnny Gasparic. Eddie - thanks for spearheading this whole project and understanding my vision and direction as an artist. I think we nailed it! Johnny - thanks for your great ears and talent and for helping me get that vocal! Two questions come to mind when we were deciding on a final take for something. Johnny - “What do you think?” Craig-“I dunno, what do you think?” and vise versa lol. Stephen Lawrance for always believing in me, Natalie Harper for being one of the best damn publicists I have ever met and jumping on board the crazy CM train again, Randy and Kym Matthews for giving me the huge opportunity of getting my music heard south of the Canadian border and opening up your home to me when I’m in Nashville, Dave, Rick and the MCC Studios gang for being so accommodating to me, Big Joe Matthews for just being so damn excited about great country music, Ms. Jessica Northey (#StageFiveExcited) for her coaching and expertise on the social media front. Louis O'Reilly and everyone at OnRamp/EMI, and all the folks at TCM Records and the Nashville Music Guide. Thanks to everyone in country music radio.
CRAIG AND CANDi
