Very hard to wipe a smile from my face at the moment :) "Mothers Love" is now number 19 on the National Country Charts here in OZ :) This song means so much to me because it is written from the heart! So not only are people hearing my song they are hearing my story! It is the first single from the new album and I am overwhelmed by the support!
This month has been a little quieter gig wise, which was rather nice! Next month is busy and I also get some great quality time with my family and I cant wait!
Signing off for now! new blog soon
Love and smiles

People that Make an Album Sing EPISODE 3 Feat BEN FLANDERS
Sorry for the Delay in the 3rd Episode :)have been on the road for gigs and getting the new Single up and away on air!
This Blog features the Talents of 16 Year Old Musician Ben Flanders. Sometimes the Ability of young Musicians amazes me! this Extremely talented lad has only been playing guitar for a few years check him out on YouTube at
http://www.youtube.com/user/bengrockson
I guess it was obvious that Ben would be introduced into music in style! With his Father Michael Flanders being an aclaimed Producer and Instrumentalist! Michael Produced my Album "YES" and will be featured in a blog soon :) and His Mother Chaise is an amazing songwriter and a great singer also! I think his fate was made when he was born!
The song Ben is featured on is the title Track "YES" when I found out that it was Ben that Played the Solo on "YES" I was really excited about it! The solo was so tasteful and Mature!! It pleases me that we had such a diverse team working on this album!
I think in the future Ben will be in Demand as a live and studio Musician and I wish him so much success, he really deserves it!!
Thanks Ben for Playing such a Kick Ass solo and for being a part of my musical Journey!
YOU CAN LISTEN TO "YES" by Clicking on the Player on this page :)
Until Episode Four Stay safe and Happy!

The People that Make an Album Sing :) Episode TWO
Welcome to Episode Two of the people that Make an Album Sing :)
This blog features the great Talents of Australias Own BENJY POCOCK.
I can remember first meeting Benjy when I was 16 years old at the Tamworth Country Music festival, while we all travelled around doing country Music Contests. He was just a young lad with an amazing Talent! I remember seeing him playing guitar and thinking how awesome he was.
I have been lucky enough to form a friendship with Benjy and his beautful wife Soni (who also had a part in this album)and throughout the years done the odd gig with them.
Benjy did many great guitar parts and backing vocals on this album, but the one that sticks out for me is the Little Guitar Parts at the start of the verses in "THAT'S NOT LOVE" for me they really made the song :) You can listen on the Player at the TOP of this Blog page :) At first I was worried this song wasnt going to make the cut, I absolutely loved the song, but wasnt sure if I was doing it justice vocally ! And if the Melody of it was working enough! BUT once I heard it mixed and the guitars brought up in the Mix it became one of my favorites!
Benjy has also CO WRITTEN Three of the songs on "YES" and heres hoping we get a huge number one hit ! So we can spend more time writing and hanging out!
Benjy and Soni now have a fabulous Studio Tucked away in the Gorgeous Sunshine Coast and are pulling fantastic sounds and always have a fabulous atmosphere and Vibe! Have attached the link check it out :)

Thanks guys for being a great Part of this Album! I Look forward to more writing and making music soon :)
Thanks for tuning in to the blog everyone :) Have a fabulous Week!
Will be back with the Next episode soon! Thanks for your time and for listening to my music! its not un noticed ! I am grateful :)

The People that Make an Album Sing :) Episode ONE
Over the next few weeks I will be blogging about the AMAZING Musicians that played on the new Album "YES" a lot of the time an artist brings out an album and it's all about them! But behind every artist is a line up of amazing musicians who bring the songs to life and make the singers job so much Easier :)
This week I would like to talk about the Fiddle Player on track number one "RAIN TONIGHT" you can listen to the track at www.myspace.com/luellamusic
His Name is Tim Lorsch, he is Based in America and Has played with many profiled artists ( Have listed them at the Bottom of this blog )
I absolutely LOVE what he did with this song, everything he played really helped to tell the story and the Solo is absolutely WORLD ClASS, he opens the song with the cutest little intro and he finishes the song with something that most fiddle players could only dream of being able to play :) Every time I hear this song, the solo makes me smile! It's like he's a part of the song and understands it and he plays with such emotion, WE HAVE NEVER MET!! I thank you Tim Lorsch for sharing your talent with us on this album. I look forward to meeting you in Person :)
You can check out his website at http://www.timlorsch.com/about.html
Artists he has performed and/or recorded with include Kris Kristofferson, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Pat Green, Ray Price, Percy Sledge, Lorrie Morgan, Andrew Gold, Joy Lynn White, Goose Creek Symphony, Mel McDaniel, Mary Gauthier, Hank Thompson, Jo-El Sonnier, Allison Moorer, Danni Leigh, Townes Van Zandt, The Kinleys, Keith Gaddis, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, Kevin Welch and Sam Baker.

Hello March
I can not Believe it is March already!! where did the first two months go!! January I guess went to the Tamworth Country Music festival where we had such a wonderful time :) then two weeks after Tamworth was me recovering and wishing I was back there. February was a little quiet gig wise with all the devastation of the floods and cyclones and Mother Nature having PMS in general :( The album will be released in a couple of weeks and what an awesome journey it has been, the musicians on it are outstanding and their credentials are mind blowing!!! I cant wait to share it with everyone :)
I got some exciting news this week and found out that I won Singer Universe Vocalist of the month :) I had to read the email five times to believe it to be honest, people from all over the world enter and the company is based in LA, it may lead to nothing but it may lead to something and I am just so stoked:) I will have a feature article on their website with one of the new songs called "NOT THINKING ABOUT YOU" the album is called "YES" the song was written by Chaise Flanders and Mary Loving and Its a beauty :) It will be posted on the singer universe site when the article is released :) and I will post the link.
The next month will be spent preparing for the new album and contacting radio stations and promoting. Hopefully in April we will be making a film clip for the first single called "MOTHERS LOVE" it is due to hit the airways on the 2nd of May :)
It is raining here today and it is just glorious, in fact why am I sitting in the office writing blogs when I could be out standing in it!! On that note I must sign off for now and get my raindrops on :)
Have a fabulous Week everyone.
Love and Smiles
