We hope to have this ready for you by mid-January. We will also put up the lyrics from all of Jay’s songs on the website. That’s right. No more guessing and singing the wrong words!!!!

“Chrystal”, a movie which stars Billy Bob Thornton, Harry Dean Stanton, Lisa Blount, Ray McKinnon & Walton Goggins, is bound for to Sundance in less than a week. The end of the film will feature “Dent County” from Terroir Blues. Ray McKinnon directed this film. He, along with Lisa & Walton, won an Oscar in 2002 for their short film “The Accountant”. We hope this film gets picked up and everyone will be able to see it on the big screen!
