Here and Gone Tomorrow
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

I wasn't gonna write a blog this month but here it is anyway, I feel I owe it to all you fans and for what it is worth, we will have a random drawing for a free album release to all you friends but it is only for the ones, yes you guys, who send your home address to us for a free record.  It will be a random in drawing -- too many to give away to all but you don't have a chance if you don't send that address, so send it on, old school way this month and as soon as we print you may get a surprise in the mail, so please all fans start sending your address to us. The single and artwork are ready with a new edit for radio and being manufactured. We should hit the airwaves by middle or end of August. Please request "Altar Call" all you can to your stations and keep you ears open.  This month's song is "Nothing Left to Lose," a free download for newsletter subscribers. I wonder who I wrote this one about?  I've seen it coming, listen to the words.

God Bless!!!!!

Neil with the news
Current mood: amorous
Category: Music

Off to North Carolina again to, "tie up a few loose ends, I'm gonna work a week, make a hundred dollars and hit the road again, so I don't want you to think you're the first one to leave me out here on my own, no this ain't gonna be the first time this old cowboy spent the night alone." Marshall tucker that is, and it is just the way I feel. Things are tough all over now and the love of my life and I are in a heck of a mess and I'm searching for the answers. Nevertheless, the good news is after 16 years I went to the crossroads again, this time with no shots of Thorazine or One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest or Pink Floyd's, "there be no more ah!!!! but you may fell a little sick." So there it is, I'm ready to do what I am to do in life with this record and all to follow the Lord and his paths of direction. We will release, so I'm told, soon in the next month "Altar Call" as the first single, so it is our newsletter free download again for this month.  Call all radio stations and request the song to help, and keep Melissa and I in you prayers -- this is our record and I will put it out undaunted as a tribute of how and where love finds a way to fulfill and to last through it all.  I love you Melissa and always will, you changed my life. Thanks to all the fans for your support, Sincerely, Neil Carswell

News from Neil Carswell
Current mood: bummed
Category: Music

I'm still in North Carolina and will be coming home to Tennessee at the end of this month to seal the deal with Asperion Records and get the new record out on the streets. I've been playing a few acoustic shows and have enjoyed performing live again. I miss my wife Melissa very much, we have never been apart this long before and we have been having relationship problems, which is one of the reasons I left Tennessee for awhile, besides to make some money out performing and with my company. It has been a hard time in my life here lately because Melissa has been my biggest fan and best friend for so many years, her birthday is May 18th, and I want be able to spend it with her for the first time I can ever remember. We have traveled so many miles together made so many records and she has been the biggest inspiration to me of probably anyone in my life. This life of music tears you apart somehow, the bars, the drinking, the life in the fast lane and all.  I wish sometimes that I could have just lived a more simple life, but I chose not to. Music has been a calling in my life, without living my life the right way. Nevertheless, I have been so blessed but it hasn't been worth the loss I have seen through the years and I refuse to let the Devil take my Melissa away. This month is for her, Happy Birthday Baby, I'll be coming home soon. So this month I will be giving my newsletter subscribers the free download song called "Since I Met You" which is her song and will be on my new record along with a lot more she inspired me to write. I hate the blues and the blues man inside of me but it is what it is and all we can do is keep the faith and press on. Thanks to all you fans and your support, keep us in your prayers please.

Neil in NC
Current mood: angsty

I'm in NC now with family - came to go fishing and haven't even hit the water yet, TCB all the time it seems. I'm starting a small acoustic show tour to set up the new "Keep you Guessing" record. I'll be doing live performances and radio, regionally, and to get the band ready.  My keyboard player is in the Orient and we are all in different spots now including me and my mind; still working on artwork and trying to get in on the shelves. We did land an old Copperhead song I wrote a few years back called, "Get Out Of My Way,"  with NASCAR, an appropriate title I guess and always good to get mailbox money. Thanks for all the support and record sales, God bless all you fans, Neil Carswell

News of Ski and Song
Current mood: anxious
Category: Art and Photography

Back home safe from Switzerland on the 6th of Feb. I will be posting a few pics of the slopes and of Wes and I skiing, in my newsletter this month (if you haven't already done so, you can sign up for the newsletter on my website).  We skied at three resorts, the Jungfrau region on two mountains the Jungfrabuhan, The Slitzerhorn and then by train 10 hours to St. Moretz, where we skied the two mountains Cravatch and Corvella. Had a horse meat steak platter and then went by train, The Glacier Express, on to Zermatt at the Matterhorn, skiing out three days on the Swiss side under the Matterhorn and into Cervania Italy. What great long distance runs they were - some of which were 50 miles from top of glaciers to the valley below.

 
I 'm now finishing up the credits on the record, thank you credits, etc. working on artwork also, but the record is done, mastered and done!!! We will officially sign the deal at the end of the month and start warm up to radio while PR starts and records get replicated. This record is a 15 song record and has been a work of four years, with an array of great musicians and family. I will never write a record like this again or work on one this long, so you better get a copy ASAP.  Too much work in task that has been, a record dear to everyone's heart involved in it. The title, instead of South Wind, will be "Keep You Guessing," the epic song of the record.  I will feature a free download of the song in this month's newsletter. Hold tight, the CD will be on the shelves soon.  I know we have an overwhelming response asking when, but for real here it comes end of next month. Thanks for all the support. Neil
