Where I’m Supposed To Be

ALBUM NOTES

The country boys are back in town. Eleven new songs from two old dreamers, Oscar winner (ON GOLDEN POND) Ernest Thompson and longtime collaborator Ray Porcell, with more to say on the subjects of lust and wanderlust, remorse and revenge and renewal. Bookended by the upbeat ode to the one who got away, “Country Girl,” and the eponymous “Where I’m Supposed to Be,” one traveler’s never-too-late realization that it’s time to head home, this collection runs the gamut from aching ballads to kick-ass blues to old-time rock-n-roll.
