Perspective. That's what makes Tebow divisive. I...

This whole thing makes no football sense, of course. Most NFL players hardly talk to teammatesbefore a game, much less visit with the sick and dying. Isn’t that a huge distraction? “Just the opposite,” Tebow says. “It’s by far the best thing I do to get myself ready. Here you are, about to play a game that the world says is the most important thing in the world....

Jars of Clay, shows, being inspired, etc.

Let me start this blog with this - I have played 4 shows with Jars of Clay this weekend. A first for me with these guys, though i have known them for a while. Know them as in fun little conversations at cocktails, not laughing heartily over jokes by a fireplace. Know them, but not KNOW them. That got weird. I digress. The thing is, Jars’ first album, their self titled debut with...

I write. They sing. I happy.

First, i am excite. Very excite. I feel like most of you probably know that by now between my twitter and facebook updates and possibly seeing me in public with a smile on my face that sandpaper couldn’t scrub off. The fact that Blake 1. recorded the song and then 2. decided to use it as his single in my opinion is one of the coolest things in the world. Now, i need to break it down for...

Amen.

A quote by my dear friend Thad Cockrell. PREACH it. “Listen, I know myself and trust me, that wasn’t me writing. I’d be afraid to take credit for it! Some people would say that is cowardly, they would say it’s ridiculous to not take credit for what you make. But I don’t care to take credit. Besides, I think that’s why a lot of artists’ early stuff is so...

A Very Merry Christmas

Some of you might know by now, but i released a Christmas album “Very Merry Christmas” a week ago and i don’t know that i’ve ever been more excited about a record i’ve ever done. Or maybe it’s not that, it’s just a different kind of excited. Excited in that i know how much Christmas music means to me. How much it takes me to a very specific place, a...

Attitude of Gratitude

I’m typing this with a huge smile across my face. Two dreams i have had for quite a while were both realized today. I both rode and became best friends with a unicorn. (named Lawrence) Okay, okay. That’s not true. His name was Eustice. Alright. ALRIGHT. Two dreams. To have a song cut by a country artist and to produce a record. Today these were both realized. Billy Currington cut...

The Truth About Jeb

The secret is out. I have a big brother, Jeb “The Jet” Tallidacious Redbird Barnes, III. I can’t apologize for him, but I can tell you who he is. His story, if you will. It all started when he was making elaborate Lego models of the white house when he was 6, speaking to his imaginary friends in Arabic, using the phrase, “that’s the bomb” a bit too much. His cries were always whimpers; he...

Until you

I’m so excited to share this news with you guys - Billy Currington has cut Until You for his new cd, “Enjoy Yourself”, that comes out September 21st. This is a dream come true for me. 1 I LOVE what Billy does. Soulful country holds a very special place in my heart and “Dont” is one of my favorite country songs of all time. 2. When I started writing songs at MTSU 14...

Holy Moley

This is just a little something i wrote a …ahem..few..years ago. At 26 I’m not old. I’m not. I’m middle. Here in the quarter life I’ve found that I’m a lot more attuned to any weird physical blemishes or sicknesses that I encounter. Things at 20 that would “go away after a week or so” or would “stop hurting in a few days” aren’t given that much time. More than often, minutes are even a ...

IFun, part deux

It’s that time again, kiddos. While my Iphone and I are on the same team, there are times where it seems to think it knows me better than I know myself (or mice elf). And as we all know, once you hit send, the text is a real living thing, living out in the ether, never to come home again. Seeing as how there so many HYSTERICAL responses to the last post about this, and seeing also as how...

Ed Cash

Ed Cash is a dear friend. Also, a friend of deers. Moving on. Ed and I have worked on every album i’ve done until this Christmas album. i love him very much. He is INSANELY talented and is more amazing of a man than a producer, which is AMAZING (all caps). I wrote his bio for his site a couple of years ago. I like it, hence, it’s appearance here. Enjoy. Ed Cash. At these words the ...

This is a blog from a while ago. It still makes ME laugh, though. I have an iphone. I love it. Some (being me) would argue that i might not be able to do without it. It’s a great phone. It’s a great email machine. It’s a great ipod. It’s a decent camera, but decent works well when you need an immediate shot of that friend laughing as chocolate milk pours out of his or her nose. With the new...
