I've wanted to work with Jon for about ten years, and it was worth the wait. I love this song! I hope you will too. Included is a bonus instrumental track. Over the years, I've worked with incredible musicians who create tracks that stand on their own, so I decided to let you hear what I hear. Shane Gaalaas added some kick-ass drums, and GRAMMY Winner Hans DeKline provided mastering. The digital version is available now, and a limited run of CD's will also be available.
