One More Ride
(Doug Adkins)
Doug Adkins
ok, a true story here....
In 2000, i had hung up my spurs, so to speak... I decided i was done with Country Music, the whole Nashville "get a record deal mentality..." I decided to visit the grave site of Hank Sr. in Montgomery Alabama.... And sticking to tradition, I did so at midnight (midnight in Montgomery... Alan Jackson) , with a bottle of whiskey...
I found the grave site, and ... well... I was inspired somehow... So I decided to give it "One More Ride"... I wrote the song the next day, shortly thereafter moved to Europe, and started a band with the same name....
and one we go
Man of Honor
(Tammy Martin)
Doug Adkins / Steffi Zellhoffer / Gerd Vogel
We planned two songs for Steffi to sing on the CD... As it turned out, she couldn't stay with the band... About a year before, I remembered this American girl, Tammy Martin, coming up to me at a show at the Kazabra Club at Vogelweh Army Base... I still had her phone number, so I called Tammy and asked if she could help us out... Well, one rehearsal and I heard all I needed to hear.... Tammy was with the band for 3 years, and she still has one of the best voices in music...
Nice To Be Loved By You

After relationships break-up... Sometimes we get to the point where we can look at the person and say... "hey, it was nice to be loved by you..."
Back Room Deals
(Doug Adkins)
Doug Adkins / Gerd Vogel
This was my view of the record industry back in 2003 when Gerd and I wrote this... He had this rif that had all this attitude about it... I had lyrics that needed a rif... The two parts fit!

Gerd Vogel, Andy Knapp and myself were sittin in the studio in 2004 ??? We were getting ready to lay down some guitar parts.... Gerd was warming up and started playing the dobro to a losin' soul... next thing Andy joined in on the acoustic... then I grabbed a chair and we ran through this song, .... Luckily... the tape was running...
I love this version
