This is one of my very favorite songs I've ever written. I love Christmas and sometimes it's hard to figure out where you really want to be.

I wrote this song about 18 famous musicians who had Cadillac's while I was deciding to buy a Cadillac. It's amazing how many musicians actually owned at least one Cadillac!

“I Can’t Breathe Anymore” is the only song I remember ever writing in my sleep. It came to me and I awoke thinking, “What was that?” So I got up and wrote it down – that was 4 years ago.

Official lyric video for my song "Times Are Hard"! It's a funny thing about a song. When you write it, it belongs to you. When you release it, it belongs to the listener. People tell me all the time they really related to this song when their mom died, they were battling cancer, addiction, homelessness or violence.
