Chances Worth Taking

By adampope84@gmail.com

We want to say THANK YOU to those who made this album possible-

To Darin Aldridge for doing such an amazing job producing, arranging the songs, pickin' on them, and singing on this record. The musicians you assembled (you included) are all the A-team and y'all are an absolute blast to work with.

To the magic mix master, Van (the Man) Atkins for having us at your incredible studio in the heart of the Blueridge Mountains. Your mixes are stunningly great, and your studio vibe is perfect. Thank you for all the hours, patience, and love that you and Darin put into this project.

To secret ninja, executive producer Mr. Ron for the listening ear, comedy, "BOOM" support, daily wisdom, and "Whoa-liners." To our Arkansas family, Mr. Cecil & Miss Nola for the housewarming, green beans, guidance, and prayers.

To the Warehouse Fellowship for loving our family, supporting us with prayers and validation when we leave for the road, and providing us the opportunity to lead worship when we are back home in Tennessee. It is a blessing to our family!

To Frank and Karen Smith and our Music Ranch Montana family for the countless opportunities, sponsorship, road support in the form of an incredible truck/RV that helps our family tremendously, and for facilitating so many of our "memories worth making."

To songwriters Bill Whyte, Robyn Collins, Jackson Collins, Dee Briggs, Steve Dean, and Mike Actrachan for joining us in the creation of our music. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents so we can have an album full of songs we love to sing for audiences everywhere.

To our extended families/parents for raising us right, teaching us respect, and the value of hard work. Without the sacrifice our mothers made to watch our children while we tracked at the studio, this album would not have been possible.

To our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, for leading us together as a couple and for blessing our efforts. We work hard and drive lots of late nights. We thank the Lord for safety. We aim to honor Him first and foremost with our lives and follow wherever He may lead us.
