Thank you God for all of my many blessings. I know my family, friends and music are all gifts from you, and I am truly humbled and grateful to Dann & Justin, you have both inspired me constantly throughout the making of this album, not just as musicians, but as husbands, fathers, friends and brothers. I've learned so much from you and feel quite blessed that God saw fit for this time of our lives to intersect.

To the band, and everyone who worked on this album and created such a brotherly fellowship, I thank you all for going beyond the call of duty. I love making records this way.

Thank you to all the songwriters who gave so much of themselves to the music. It all starts with a song

Thank you to everyone in the Capitol Nashville family for believing in this music.

Thank you to everyone in the extraordinary internet community that seem to have found common threads in the music and my support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and max it out for meningitis research.

I'm surrounded by some of the most amazing people in my life, and I know you know who you are. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all. I truly love making music and so I dedicate this album to everyone who makes this possible.

P.S. If you bought this record, this very much includes you. May God bless you us all and may we strive daily to reflect his love.

Dann Huff would like to thank, Keith - thank you from the bottom of my heart for including me in your life and on the musical journey. I am honored to be your co-Producer and a brother. The truth is I am also your biggest fan! Justin - Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious, I have come to rely on both your tremendous musicality and your taste in movies!

All the musicians - through the course of this project I have been constantly reminded of the immense talent and the heart that each one of you possesses. Thank you all for sharing so freely, you make me look better than I really am. Drew & Mark - you two are the unsung heroes, without your attention to detail, who knows where this project would be now. Mike Dungan & all of the Capitol Records staff - thank you for the encouragement and the space to make this record!

Sherri, Ashlyne, Maddie & Elliott - I love each one of you more every day. Thank you for putting up with my creative dreams. You all are my true inspiration.
