The latest project out of Sliding Door Studios is a terrific version of "Georgia On My Mind" featuring Courtney Hanley on vocals, Pamela Sklar on Flute, and Ken Eichler on guitar.
Also featuring Glenn Eichler on bass and Paul Connors on piano and organ, this track pays homage to the Ray Charles version recorded in the 60s.
Thanks to all the fantastic musicians involved.
I had the pleasure of playing a gig with Wendy Moten about 10 years ago. She was phenomenal. Tonight she landed a spot on Blake Shelton's team on the Voice. Congratulations, Wendy! No one deserves it more than you.

Tom Nicks and I were very fortunate to get our song placed in Showtime's hit series "City On A Hill" last week. We were even more excited to find out it was on for a second week in a row in the season finale. Check out the bar scenes in each episode and you'll hear our tune "When Love Turns To Sin" playing in the background.
My songwriting partner Tom Nicks‘ and my song “When Love Turns to Sin” will be featured on the new episode of City on a Hill (starring Kevin Bacon) on Showtime this Sunday night, May 9.
Hope you enjoy!
Ken

I am honored to become a featured artist on Don's Tunes.

Please support Don's Tunes. He does a fantastic job promoting great music!
The top YouTube Blues channel, Don's Tunes, recently included one of my earlier productions, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, in their second 1 hour Slow Blues Show.
I am truly humbled.
This recording was originally included on the Hip Pocket Band album Returns and featured Kevin "Dr. C" Crutchfield on lead vocals.
Kevin was one of the most talented vocalists I have ever worked with. Like his recording of Dock Of The Bay, Dr. C nailed this track in one take. We didn't need a second.
He was also a dear friend and though I am sad he is not here with me to enjoy this I believe his spirit is flying around laughing at me right now.
Please send Don's Tunes some love: https://youtu.be/Yul22_8pAwg and donstunes.com.
Recent Ken's Tunes "sitings" include three CBS NFL games back in late 2018. CBS also gave Ken the thumbs up in a feature about college football athletes.
Other new additions to the growing list of TV shows using Ken's tunes are Tanked and Junkyard Empire.
A big thank you to my publishers and the music supervisors picking Ken's tunes!
Just Released!
Dimensions - A Tribute to the Allman Brothers Band
As a young musician growing up in the 70s the Allman Brothers were an amazing source of blues, rock, and country licks. They were musically mature beyond their years and played with raw passion. I wonder to this day what Duane would have sounded like had his life not been cut short. Gregg was a soulful songwriter and one of my favorite singers of all time. Midnight Rider is an absolute classic and one of my favorite songs of all time.
I believe their musical soul lives on through me as it does for so many others who grew up with the ABB. To say that they were huge influence on my playing would be an understatement.
I hope you enjoy Dimensions. It was a spiritual experience to produce it.
