Gone to Texas

Hope all is well in your blue world.
Happy new year to all of you.
I was so fortunate to be home for the holidays and having all the kids at the house is such a treat. We played lots of games and ate wayyyy too much!
Then my oldest children, Zach, Riley and Sam hit the road with me on tour with RSB opening for Gregg Allman.
Sam got sick along the way, and the other two were troopers. What a fun tour it was. Zach helped by being my roadie and Riley ran around getting everyone's autograph. John Hiatt asked Riley if he could have his picture taken with her! The tour was short but wonderful and ended on such a high note for me personally. I sat in with Gregg Allman and band and played One Way Out. It was a dream come true.
As soon as the tour ended we packed our bags again and hit the Rock Legends Cruise. It was certainly legendary. 4300 fans on one huge ship!
Great shows, met some wonderful people and got to spend some quality time with my wife Laura. She had such a good time, she's a rocker chick at heart.
We are wrapping up a week of dates with RSB and then I head straight to Dockside Studios to record my next album "Gone to Texas"
This is a very exciting album for me.
It is the first time I will be bringing in my own band The Wheel: Rob Lee, Jimmy Carpenter, Lewis Stephens, Scot Sutherland and Susan Cowsill. It is also the first album that I will be producing myself on a label. I'm so thankful to Ruf Records for allowing me to be the artist I have always hoped to be. This again is a very personal record. Stories from my life and songs I really love about my time in the Lonestar State.
Look for this release in early May.
Devon's new album Turquoise is on its way out soon as well as Bart Walkers album as well. Both fantastic records by great artists.
Check online for all touring dates for all the bands and join the Street Crew by all means!
Peace, Love, Zito
