We enjoyed a terrific fortieth year. The new album, "Forty years and counting..." represented a satisfying look at where we have been and where we are going. We've been humbled by the interest in us that it's generated. It continues to be available here on the website in CD format and digital download and, for the first time for us, available as a digital download only in the online stores. We have an artist page at CD Baby and you'll also find it at Apple Music and Amazon and many other stores and streaming services as well. The first single released, "Silver Dollar", is also the leading track off the album, written by our friend, singer songwriter Frank Martin Gilligan, formerly of Mason Dixon.

We are truly grateful at the realization that we have been blessed by music and friendships for this many years. We're happy to be able to be thanking in person many of our friends that have provided us the opportunity to make music for four decades. It's been such a wave of emotion to see so many people smile and connect with the music we've made. It truly flows to the center of our souls.

Our first appearance of this year, our annual winter show at Music City Texas Theater was a joy. We have known Katy and Penny of The Purple Hulls since they were just kids. Don gave them some of their first lessons. What a blessing it was to share the stage. These ladies are something special. And the great part was supposed to be our being with them again in June at the Texas Blueberry Festival in Nacogdoches. Unfortunately, as now fully understandable, the event has been postponed.

We are all deeply concerned about the pandemic that has now become front and center in all of our lives. Our prayers are with all of our Hickory Hill family and with the rest of our global family as we continue to battle with this serious virus and its extensive repercussions.

Our Schedule page will continue to reflect any upcoming appearances to the best of our knowledge. We of course consider all of the dates tentative for now. You can check that page anytime for the status of which we're aware. You may also easily just check the event tab on our Facebook page or the Band Profile tab also found on the page which reflects all the event information from our ReverbNation account. We do encourage you to make sure you're on our email list so that you can get updates directly when we have them. Links to all those places are at the top of the page along with some others where you can stream and/or purchase tracks from the new album. We encourage you to visit those. It will help others to find us as well.

Our thanks again for your role in everything that connects us. We sincerely appreciate you allowing us to be a part of your life. Please accept our very best wishes for an improved 2020 once we begin to make definitive progress towards overcoming our current peril. We'll be looking forward to once again enjoying some great music time together. May all good blessings come your way.

Until the next time...
