Hennessee notes: “Cody and I spent a few months Holed up in his studio recording this record. The two of us would go in in the morning and come out in the evening with a basically completed track. It was probably the most fun I’ve ever had making a record.” The album includes the afore mentioned “Twilight In The South” as the title track. “I wrote this one with Chris Dubois over 10 years ago. Chris Stapleton was singing demo’s back then and he sang on this one. My wife has loved the demo for so long so I decided to give it a try on this record and it turned out great!” “Blacktop Blues” was written with Hennessee’s long time friend Trent Willmon. “It’s a driving song” Chris notes. “Trent and I wrote this one with that in mind, something that makes ya want to just go faster”. “Back To Tennessee” is a heart felt ballad of Hennessee’s home state. “It’s one of, if not my favorite track on the album. It has all the elements of Tennessee music. It has fiddle and banjo for the East Tennessee and Nashville folks and a little slide guitar for the Memphis side of the state. I’m so proud to be from the Volunteer state and I hope this song reflects that”. This will be the 5th album release for Chris in the last decade. He’s most recent album “Ramble” was released in 2018 and included “Wrong End Of The Rainbow”. This was an all out Honky Tonk tune that included a duet with Chris’s long time friend Jamey Johnson.
