Haint Blue was produced by Steve Haggard, working with his longtime recording
engineer Andrew Hooker at The Cave Studios in Leiper's Fork, TN. Steve plays guitar 
and harmonica (plus a bit of keyboards on two songs), and is joined on the album
 by a group of first-rate musicians including Walter Egan, John Heinrich, and others.

and ways to purchase the CD and/or downloads.  

Now that Steve's album has finally seen the light of day, he'll be going back to work
producing a new album for a longtime Wild Oats Records artist, the talented Canadian singer/songwriter Garry Jackson. Garry has had a number of excellent releases over
the years here at Oat Central, and the new project is shaping up to be a very good one.
It'll feature ten of Garry's originals, and should be ready for release in early 2024. 
Andrew Hooker will be engineering, and among the fine musicians contributing 
to the album already have been Walter Egan, Chris James and Merna Lewis.

Back in Radioland, Steve Haggard continues to host The Haggard & Haggard Radio Hour, 
which has been broadcast weekly on WRFN (Radio Free Nashville) here in Nashville since
 May 2008. You can listen locally on either 107.1 FM or 103.7 FM, or live via streaming audio
   (worldwide!) at www.radiofreenashville.org. The show airs each and every Tuesday from 
4:00 to 5:00 PM (Central Time), so tune in for an hour of what Steve calls "an eclectic mess 
of music, information about the songs and artists, and a whole lot of meaningless banter".

As you may or may not know, The Tennessee Wobblers, released an excellent album on  
the Wild Oats Records label back in 2020. But if it wasn't for bad luck, this trio, consisting of 
Todd Elgin, Bryon Russell and Steve Haggard (fine singers, songwriters and musicians all),
wouldn't have no luck all. You see, a week after the release party for the album -- cleverly 
titled The Tennessee Wobblers --the pandemic basically shut the music business down. As a 
result, the album and the band have pretty much remained in limbo. We're hoping that by 
early 2024, they'll be back in action, and the album will finally receive a full-scale release.

Last but not least, if you've got a few minutes, take a look at these short video documentaries
that Steve Haggard made for Mark Brine (link), and for Garry Jackson (link).
