Diamond Rio - Title Track ‘I Made It’

So I've been hinting around about a few amazing things going down in my career for weeks now. This is one of the coolest for me!

When I was in the 4th grade we line danced to "Meet In The Middle" for our annual school play. After that I totally fell in love with Diamond Rio. I vividly remember crying listening to Marty's singing at mom's house in VA while stealing chops from Dan Truman, and being mesmerized by Jimmy Olander's B-bender shredding. When I moved to Nashville Jimmy O. and I became pals and started writing tunes together. I really love the guy and his super sweet family. We've written a ton of my favorite songs including a few off my solo album. A few years ago we wrote one about Rio's career and Marty's journey to Nashville called "I Made It."

Not only am I completely dumbfounded that the guys have recorded our song, but it's also the title track from their latest album! Like, seriously?!? : ) I somehow ended up co-writing the title track of my heroes' new record! On top of that they allowed me to play on a track that features the amazing Joshua Bell on violin! I'll post more about that later; I promise. Thanks to the entire Rio gang for making my dreams come true...I feel incredibly blessed to be included on their new project! Congrats to the entire Diamond Rio gang and continued success to you!
