This isn't my first song about a couple on opposite shorelines. "True Love” On my first album is about two people who have never met and is set in present day. This song is set in 18th century France where the woman is and out on the front of sea battle where the man is shipped off to. Somewhere cold. I think I may be the first guy to inject the words “ma chérie” into a country song. I originally wrote this for a Céline Dion pitch but I don’t think she ever got to hear it. This is my first duet that I have recorded on a studio album. Listen for the Irish Bouzouki.


Recording notes ~ Shoreline
This song really held up the whole album from completion. I had everything done but this song. I just couldn't find the right girl to sing the female part. There are so many amazing vocalists but I wanted someone foreign and exotic for this song; French in a perfect world. I ended up casting a friend who used to sit in at my old full band jam in Vegas. Vanessa Andrea. She was made for it. We recorded her vocal at Odds On Studio in Vegas so it really was two people on opposite ends of the earth since I recorded my part in Nashville.
