Recently I was in a Traditional Country, whimsical kind of mood. I’ve always loved this genre and have great respect for Country Western artists like Jimmy Rogers, Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. The simplistic genius of their music captivated me from my early years and continues to this day. I would study their clever lyrics that always seemed to include an unexpected twist. “I Confess” made its way to my conscious mind when I was in such a mood. Although a good portion of the lyric is “tongue in cheek” I meant every word in the lines that say, “But I defy you to find someone who loves you as much as me.”

After writing the song I wanted to keep the recording bare bones. Going into the studio my thoughts were to make the acoustic guitar the main instrument, with embellishment by the piano. Drums and bass held down the bottom. It was a fun song to write and was equally fun to record.
