about
"Sweet Talker" was written for the Grapevine Opry in TX's 21st Anniversary in 2008, when I was invited to perform at the event.
It was the first time a theremin appeared on the Opry stage.
The arrangement that ended up on CD was a challenge for a non 'country artist' such as me, but worth the execute; my emulation of slide/fuzz/picked guitar and fiddle on synthesizer.
Sweet Talker is American country meets Australian folk-rock!
With Curtis Randall (LeAnn Rimes) on Bass.

LYRICS:
[Verses] He brushed against me with cases in his hand
Said he was sorry while we waited for his band
Said I was an angel with dimples in my cheek
He was a little boy, not a man!
He looked in my eyes through the top of his shades
Said I was precious, he'd quit smokes for my sake
But he was messing around, with one of my friends
He was a little boy, not a man!
[Chorus] Sweet talker with a rotten rap sheet,
Thanks to his mama he made it this far
Sweet talker, a misguided fact sheet,
He knows which side to butter yet.

But he was messing around, with one of my friends
He was a little boy, not a man!
[Chorus] Sweet talker with a rotten rap sheet,
Thanks to his mama he made it this far
Sweet talker, a misguided fact sheet,
He knows which side to butter yet.
