Out on the Ridge
I first met producer, Mark Moseley in 2002, when he produced my first Nashville album, “Dogwood Place”. I contacted Mark in 2010 who agreed to produce two more albums in the summer of 2011. “Out on the Ridge” is a joint album made with my old friend and bluegrass mentor, Ced Thorose. I wanted to maintain the aim of recording original material. I wrote six of the songs, Ced wrote the four instrumentals and we co-wrote two songs.

As with Dogwood Place, Mark managed to bring together a stellar cast of bluegrass musicians including guitarist Bryan Sutton, fiddle player Aubrey Haynie, banjo player Scott Vestal, mandolin players Adam Steffey and Andy Leftwich and the two most respected bass players in Nashville, Mike Bub and Dennis Crouch. Mark’s studio was in the process of being refurbished so we recorded the main tracks at Ricky Skaggs’ Studio in Hendersonville and mixed the tracks at Mark’s second studio. We then had Ronny Light, who was the chief engineer at RCA for many years, master the CDs.

Working with musicians of this calibre is always a thrill and Mark has all the qualities you need in a producer: he has technical knowledge, great ears, great ideas and is a fantastic musician. It is really an extraordinary privilege to be able to make an album in this way and I am pleased to say it exceeded all my expectations.
