Notes
Our new CD "Highway Headin' South" was released in February of 2012. This project was developed with so many of our "Winter Texan" friends in mind. Sherwin penned the lyrics to the title cut "Highway Headin' South" in January of 2011 while driving from Minneapolis, MN to McAllen, TX. "On a highway headin' south to the Rio Grande Valley" "Where the bougainvilleas bloom and the snow don't fly" "I'm gonna rest my chilly bones in the Texas sunshine" "And be a Winter Texan till I die" Because so many mid-westerners make the trip each winter for the southern climate the song caught on quickly and was a nightly request. Sherwin decided to record it and eleven other songs including some Tex-Mex songs, love songs, novelty songs and Gospel songs all on one CD! This project was recorded at Track Record Studios in St. Paul, MN with Sherwin's band "The Cotton Kings" also featuring special guest Dick Moebakken who adds his vocals to several of the selections and delivers the "love story," Allis Chalmers in the style of Grandpa McCoy. Several selections take the listener on a heartwarming romantic trip to "Old Mexico" and days done by.
