Jimmy Thackery "Natural State"
with the Cate Brothers

This was a dream project for me. To make a recording with Gary Nicholson was something we both have talked about for years! Some very significant sacrifices were made by all the folks involved; without those sacrifices, it could not have happened. Primarily, I would like to thank Gary and David Z. It was my honor and privilege to have them on board. Second, thanks to all my "Nashville Cats": Kenny, Michael, Steve, Kevin, Lynn, Tom and Jimmy Hall, for playin' so purty. To the writers, Tom Hambridge, Kenny Greenburg, Chuck Jones, Russell Smith, Mike Henderson, and Gary, truly the "nuts" and bolts of this record. Thanks to Island Bound Studios and Whitey's Brick Hit House. Jeremiah for straightening out the kinks. Barbara Ann for letting me have her man, Gary, for this marathon. My sweet wife, Sally, for her sacrifice and for helping me to the Healin' Ground.
"The Drivers" for letting me "Get 'er done" and keeping me on the right road all these years. Blue Mountain Entertainment, Rueben Williams, Blues legend Whitey "Snowflake" Johnson , and, lastly, Ken Addington for the inspiration. This record is dedicated to the loving memory of Inez Starkey, and "A Shot in the Dark" is dedicated to my Pop and "Little" Bro' Jon. "It is my beeznus to know these things."
