Bobby Charles Cover... Decoration Day Album

Bobby Charles Cover... Decoration Day Album

Bobby Charles is a brand new favorite of mine. I was recently asked by Mason Jar Music to record a song for the Decoration Day Album, Volume 5. This year's album features songs and artists based in New York City and Nashville. Producer, Dan Knobler, suggested a Bobby Charles tune for me to sing, I Must Be In A Good Place Now. I fell in love with the singer and the tune. You can listen to the track along with the rest of the album here...
