“Fireworks” – Steve Dean, Don Gatlin, Mike Ulvila “Civil War (Live),” recorded at Atlanta’s Chastain Park in 1993 – Cindy Richardson, Carol Chase “This Side of Heaven” – Brent Maher, Allen Shamblin, Mike Reid “Almost Mine” – David Ball, Randy Goodrum “A Better Word for Love” – Al Anderson, Gary Nicholson
“Wild Honey” – Jim Weatherly, Nigel Wright “Big Bertha” featuring Vince Gill -Randy Moore, Carl Perkins, DJ Perkins Says Milsap, “Singing a song about a golf club without Vince Gill just didn’t feel right.” To that end, Milsap tapped Vince Gill to join him on the song that isn’t about a woman, but instead the famous “Big Bertha” driver. Milsap enlisted some of Nashville’s finest players for the project: guitarists Brent Mason, Steve Gibson, Mark Casstevens, and Chris Leuzinger bass player Michael Rhodes drummer Lonnie Wilson double steel players Mike Johnson and Paul Franklin and Milsap’s longtime musical director Jamie Brantley.Īlong the way, Milsap received a special package from Carl Perkins’ widow, containing the last song the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer ever wrote. You know, even a sad song when you do it sad enough’ll make you feel better.” “We got to go back to Ronnie’s Place, the studio I built all those years ago, just dig in and cut them-and some songs that have the same kind of heart, the soul and that joy that I’ve always loved. When Rob and I started this project a few years ago, we decided some of those songs were so special… We wanted to build this album around them, so they wouldn’t be treasures only Joyce and I could hear. “Over the years, they’ve kept bringing me unbelievable songs, and in some cases, they’ve let me hang onto them because I loved them so much. “I have been blessed to work with some of the very best songwriters in the world,” says Milsap. Teaming with longtime co-producer Rob Galbraith, Milsap recorded much-loved songs that didn’t fit his prior albums, including those by renowned songwriters Mike Reid, Gary Nicholson, Al Anderson, Jim Weatherly, Brent Maher, Allen Shamblin, and David Ball. His 10-song album, A Better Word for Love, will be released April 30 on Black River Records, and is the follow-up to his all-star project Duets. Country Music Hall of Fame legend Ronnie Milsap is back with new music this spring.
