The album opens with the upbeat "One Away From One Too Many Heartaches"
written by long time Potter friend Ray Pennington. Pennington also
contributes "Then I Can Face Your Memory" and "So Many Ways To Say Goodbye".
Potter also calls on some other legendary songwriters for this project
including Hank Cochran and Red Lane on "I Wish It Was That Easy Going Home."
Heart of Texas artist Leona Williams also lends her harmony vocals on the
beautiful ballad. Cochran also contributes "We Never Touch At All"-a song
that Merle Haggard also recorded in the 1980's.
"I have always been a fan of the Texas shuffle and story songs," Potter
said. "I really enjoyed recording 'Down In Texas Today' and 'If This Was
Texas'. These songs show some of the special aspects of Texas."

Forward From Leona Williams
"Meeting someone who so loves and is so devoted to pure Country
Music is
amazing. I knew I'd met one of these people several years ago when
I met
Tracy! Tracy's love for traditional Country is evident in all he
does to
promote artists, as me. He is truly an asset to all that loves this
music.
I'm just lucky to be able to call him a dear sweet friend."
