THANK YOU
Thanks to my producer, Billy Crockett, for his dedicated hours and consummate work and for his caring for this project above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks also to Dodee Crockett, who does more behind the scenes than you’d guess and who also makes a mean chocolate chip cookie. Thanks to a few big supporters: Marc McCollough and Dee Langford, Mary Ray, Terry Hawkins, Lora Lee and Graham McCullough, Mike Hall, Mae Robertson, Jon and Esther Phelps, Phil and Teresa Morris, Cabin 10, Inc., and Rice Harrington, Jim Lokey, Kevin Nordlie, and John Cook. The “creatives” (players, artists, and conspirators): Billy Crockett, Dirje Smith, Kevin Lovejoy, Rick Richards, Chris Maresh, Daren DeShazo, Colin Brooks, Tania Elizabeth, Robby Hecht, Taylor Powell, Mike Meadows, Devon Sproule, Paul Curreri, Pierce Pettis, Philip McWhorter, Austin Tucker, Rodney Bursiel, Wayne Brezinka, Bradley Prakope, Neale Eckstein, and Megan Burtt.
Additional thanks to: Trip Aldredge Kevin Nordlie, Lewis Knight and Caron Bey Knight, Joe Morra, Arthur Wood, Michael Granberry, John and Sheila Platt, Blake and Taylor Powell, Judi Sawyer, George and Lisa Neall, Mike Hall, The Vespers, Lindsey Lee, Deb Rouse, Liz Rouse, Neale Eckstein and Laurie Laba, David Gentiles, Zhenya Wine, and Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church.
I’d like to thank my family and friends for excusing bad behavior, unreturned phone calls, and conspicuous absences. Especially: my parents, grandparents, siblings, and in-laws.
Thanks to my husband Cris, for being so easy to love and so good at loving me.
And thanks to Jesus, for saving my soul. Matthew 10:29 grace
Billy Crockett – :
“Grace Pettis has outdone herself with her sophomore release, “Two Birds”. It is completely brilliant from the vocals, to the songwriting and the stellar production by Billy Crockett of Blue Rock Studios in Wimberley, TX. I’ve been listening steadily since I got home a couple of weeks ago and found it waiting for me in my mailbox. If you can only buy one record this year this is the one…you won’t want to miss it!” – Judi Sawyer
