  • Description

    Stephen Simmons was raised in the small town of Woodbury, Tennessee. His mother was a schoolteacher and his father held a factory job (In his family, they were the first generation that didn't work the farm). Humble and soft-spoken, Stephen at first seems to exemplify this rural, Church of Christ upbringing. As a songwriter, however, his vision is much more complex. The songs on this new recording tell stories of country life's dark side and serve to remind listeners how it feels to stand at the intersection of piety and sin. The album was recorded in Nashville by producer/engineer Eric Fritsch (Scott Miller, Carter Little, Rowland Stebbins) and is the follow-up to Simmons' self-released acoustic debut which was much praised by Nashville's music critics. This new release features performances by some of Nashville's most in-demand players, including guitarist Kenny Vaughn, bassist Dave Jacques, drummer Paul Griffith and cellist David Henry. "This is not so much a record about saints, as it is one about sinners," Stephen says. "But I truly believe that there's salvation out there for everyone. In that sense, I guess it's really a record about all of us."
