This is Heartwood's first album. Or rather, a re-recording of their first album. They recorded these songs and when they were signed to the GRC label, it was suggested they re-record the lot. Which is what they did. And here it is. A pleasant piece of Southern Country Rock. Thanks again to the French Connection (they do provide a lot of what I post). If you like The Outlaws' harmony vocals, this is your stop. And like those early Outlaws records, you get lots of Country too. But not the slick kind. I'm loving this lots.
Former Heartwood drummer Robert Hudson has his own website, where you can read about Heartwood as well. It's here. Then there's more to read on Classicrockmusicblog.com. They have an interview with both Robert Hudson and Tim Hildebrandt (guitar/vocals), which you can find here. They speak mostly of their second album, "Nothin' Fancy. But be sure to check this, their earliest songs, out. You'll love it. Showdown.

A new link would be realy fine, uploading to rapidsuck without a premium account only allow the 1st ten lucky people a chance to hear this treasure. I'm looking forward to a new link asap. Thank you in advance.
Sorry about that, I didn't know it would only last ten takes. Somehow I'm having trouble with megaupload. It appears to upload like crazy, then the verification process starts and then... nothing. It just states "undefined" and does nothing.
I won't be back till Friday, so you'll have to be patient a bit. In the meanwhile, if any of you have any suggestions about where I can best upload from now on, or fix my problem with megaupload...
I read somewhere that Norton might cause problems such as these. I'm not using Norton. I use AVG and ZoneAlarm. Back in 5 days...
Try it with ZSHARE, Skydogg; I think is fine and easy.
I'm waiting friday...
Thanks.

Thanks ! I'm looking forward to listening to this.
Hi Skydog!
Increadible post, this Heartwood!
Many thanks!
I got something really strange for you! This is japanese Guitar´Player/Songwriter Kunio´s 2006 release ALABAMA BOY feat. Chuck Leavell, Bobby Bramlett, Bobby Whitlock and many others! This was produced by Johnny Sandlin. Very nice tunes in style of the Allman Brothers - but sadly the vocals from Kunio - well, strange. Anywaym this is worth to check out! Very talented guy from Japan!
