| Album Notes |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "Open Roads" is about keeping the faith in self freedom. There are things in life that can derail folks and sometimes you just gotta hit the road. Go see fresh stuff. Living true to your smile with an open heart. Just keeping things simple and getting back to one's roots. I hope you enjoy the journey of a friendly trail, good friends, and a course always traveled on open roads. GLA |

| Gerald Lee Ames was raised in the western ranch settings of Okanogan County, WA. "When I was a kid, I remember our field trips were going out to the livestock cattle auctions. Everything was about the ranch. We grew up on the farm riding " Shem " a hot shot barrel racing horse, chasing steers & cows, muddy pigs and well .......... (slow to admit ).........even sheep." "It's tough work, the farm life and all, bucking bales, changing sprinkler pipes, feeding the livestock, chickens and milking cows. It teaches real basic hard working values." "You know , good old fashioned elbow grease. You can still find it on the shelf in some places.- It's just way in the back." |

| Everything We Share, was recorded in one take live to digital track. "I wanted to get the real emotional feel of the song. It's raw, and rings true." The guitar stuff is a bit of a tribute to Albert Ames from theCascade Country Boys, the best darn gi'tar picker this side of Chet Atkins. |
