Artist picture
Ive written hundreds of songs over the past 40 years. I love Jesus, the word of God, people and music. I play guitar, bass and sing. Thank you for listening!
My music is about the new life found in Jesus Christ. He is our access to the Father and is worthy of all praise and glory. He has taken our sins away by the selfless sacrifice of His death upon the cross. He is deserving of songs and worship. The sound of my music is influenced by the delta blues and artists that have followed through the 60s and 70s who have taken this music and written folk, Americana, and Rock n Roll. Thank you for listening to my songs, and also the collaboration projects, thank you to all who contributed to these songs..

Lyrics
Chain Gang fifty men in stripes sweat breakin their spine swinging with them picks digging up that line heads are hangin' low in the hot Georgia sun the devil his dues for the sins they have done keep them mind on that road or face that hard regret, never se the sun go set from the beatings they will get not one soul here has got a name a number is all here on the chain gang the sun dont shine the moon wont glow escape if you want aint nowhere to go yo mamma aint here to sing you a lullaby last time she saw you was a tear in her eyes you said dont you fret I'm gonna be home soon there in the dark ya know she knew it was bitter sweet little lies not one soul here has got a name a number is all here on the chain gang the sun dont shine the moon wont glow escape if you want aint nowhere to go over the wall got one running fast got freedom in sight at last no escapin what must be loose the hounds set em free till they smell their breath hear them stinking howls nobody escapes made it so plain were all a number here on the chain gang Gary Ramsey - words and vocals Mark Schuster - lead guitar, slide guitar Rick Smerage - keys, bass GeeS - backing vocals John Matteson - composer, rhythm guitar

Thanks you guys! Jamtrax are so great because it is such a blank canvas when you start. Just come up with a cool riff or something, super fun!
