The Land Of Tomorrow

Charley Stefl and I have been writing songs together for about twenty years now. Charley co-wrote one of my all-time favorite country songs “The Fool,” a big hit for Lee Ann Womack.

Charley Stefl and I have been writing songs together for about twenty years now. Charley co-wrote one of my all-time favorite country songs “The Fool,” a big hit for Lee Ann Womack.

He is a scholar of Byzantine history and art, a very smart and well-read man, an excellent guy to have a beer with, and one of my oldest friends in Nashville.

We co-wrote some songs with the late great Nanci Griffith that she ended up recording, and we got a bunch of Bluegrass cuts together. Two went to number one, if I remember correctly.

We still get together to write a couple of times a month - and it’s always good and easy.

This is another song about traveling, and arriving - if only for a moment.

I had the guitar lick for a while and had never used it in a song.

We wrote the rest in less than an hour, no need to get in the way when the flow is right.
