“Ain’t no doubt there’s something special in the air down in Lubbock. It’s put out too many artists and songwriters for there not to be. I’m proud to have cut my teeth in the legendary Blue Light with so many of my friends and to have someone there like Tom to witness and capture that time frame is something that’s really rare. I’m proud to know Tom and proud to be an 806er.”
