Hi guys, the new album is all done. It's a double album entitled "Getting Into Trouble (20 Years Of Gunslinging)" - a reference to my debut album "Gunslinger's Tales" from 1997. CD1 contains eleven new recordings. Most of them are brand-new songs but there's also new versions of previously released songs. These are re-imaginings if you will, re-written with different lyrics or different chords, and new arrangements. There's a lot of cool stuff on this album: Hooky songs, bluegrass, a driving road song, an acoustic ballad, storytelling tunes - the whole gamut of handmade song-oriented music. CD2 contains eleven songs not previously released on Blue Rose Records. These are songs from privately released, limited edition EPs and CDs as well as from my solo album "Late Night Drive" and from "Heart & Soul & Rock'n'Roll", my collaboration with Hubert Treml & Franz Schuier. I wasn't sure beforehand how the songs from these various sources would fit together but, if you ask me, it's a very nice collection that holds together well. The album's official release date is January 26, 2018.
