Blind Hogs & Acorns

Chuck Jones

In cart Not available Out of stock

This is an album I recorded about a decade ago. Simple acoustic versions of some of my radio hits. The album title refers to an old saying from the South, "even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then". It's an attempt at humility. Do I get credit for trying?

The album was recorded by Chip Matthews, mixed by Chip Matthews and Eric Legg, produced
