This quasi “blues-grass” spiritual was born in one of those moments where we break ourselves down and check out what’s inside the shell. Life is marked by those milestone moments where we are left with the bare shardglass of truth, and if we’re lucky, acknowledging what went wrong and finding the courage to get up, dust off, and keep walking the trail. lyrics Words & music A. McKnight, 1999©Catalooch Music, BMI from Beyond Borders, released 01 January 2005 AM – lead & harmony vocals, guitar Danny Knicely – mandolin, bass Alexander Mitchell – fiddle N. Scott Robinson – cajon

From my 5th solo CD, "Something Worth Standing For" Words & music A. McKnight, ©2007 Catalooch Music, BMI Since the Revolution young Appalachians join the armed forces in disproportionate numbers relative to other parts of the country. Perhaps it is to escape, perhaps for adventure. As a new parent myself, this is an acknowledgement of all the mountaineers, and all the families who hold their breath and say their prayers when their children go off to war to protect the things we cherish. AM – vocals, acoustic guitar Chance McCoy – banjo, fiddle Jim Baird - bass Pamela Temple – harmony vocal

As a young girl growing up in remote southwest Virginia, Mother Maybelle Carter developed the unique guitar style that is among the very foundations of country music. I thought it high time to pay tribute, and it strung together nicely with this tune my old bandmate Jeff originally concocted on the mandola. Traditional melody, words by A.P. Carter; Jeff Arey, ©1998, arranged by A. McKnight no lyrics, instrumental version from Something Worth Standing For, released 01 February 2008 AM – acoustic guitar Chance McCoy – banjo Jim Baird - bass
