Still Her Daddy (Now & Then) - New Release!

“Still Her Daddy (Now & Then)” was made possible by the collaborative forces of William “Dew” R. Dewberry Jr. from San Antonio, Texas, and Ernest “Ernie” Lewis, from Bakersfield, California. The story in the song is that of Dew’s life on the road as a musician and the hardship it caused.

Dew operates and owns AM1670 Dewberry Jam Community Radio in San Antonio, Texas. The station broadcasts Outlaw, Country, Blues, Rock and Talk. Ernie's songs have been on rotation on Dew's playlists for the past 18 months. In January of 2012, Dew asked Ernie if he would record "Still Her Daddy (Now & Then)," and Ernie accepted. The two reworked and reworded the song where needed. The instruments used during the sessions were all acoustic, except the bass. and Ernie played all of them. He also recorded and mastered the tune. The song is Country at heart.

“Still Her Daddy (Now & Then)” features the warm, rich voice of Theresa Spanke from Bakersfield, California. Theresa has filled the hearts of many with her sincere personality and stunning stage presence. She is truly a powerhouse singer who loves performing. You’ll be hearing more recordings from her for certain.

The song is available on CDBaby, iTunes, Amazon.com and other digital distribution sites.
