Is this session available for purchase on CD?

[@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61]

I'm hoping me and my daughter can cover this song personally I like white house road a little better this one has hammer ons that are cool and to sing it in that key requires a capo when I was younger I didn't think i needed one but for songs like Wonderwall and Landslide or even Brian Adam's run to you

There’s pop radio country 🤢the there’s THIS, real country. This is what they meant by real country.

Found out a month ago my old man had a tumor in his urinary tract. They scheduled surgery end of the month to remove it and had a follow up appointment yesterday to see how things were. Sister called me last night with vague info about bladder cancer and needing seven more surgeries and chemo over the next three years. Life has given me gut punch after gut punch but I don’t know what I’ll do without my old man. This line definitely brought tears to my eyes on my way to work.

Stuff now a days is stadium country music. There is only a handful of good country singers today that play good stuff.

I remember the first time I came across this song, I was high as a kite on opiates, any kind I could get my hands on whether it was H or oxy or whatever. I heard this song and that line….”keep your nose on the grindstone and outta the pills”…..and I bawled. I wanted out of that addiction so bad but I was in so deep. Within a week of listening to that song every day….I checked myself into detox and rehab. It was the absolute worst two weeks of my life. I was at risk of having a stroke or a heart attack because it was so bad. Had to be medically supervised around the clock. BP of 180/130. I don’t know how I didn’t die. But I came out of that detox…..and I haven’t looked back since. I just got 2 years clean and sober this past July. And honestly…thank you Tyler. Thank you.

This is, uh, "Nose to the Grindstone" Hold on Daddy worked like a mule minin' Pike County coal 'Til he fucked up his back and couldn't work anymore He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills See, the ways of this world will just bring you to tears Keep the Lord in your heart, and you'll have nothin' to fear Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steal Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me the chills Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt And there's hurt you can 'cause time alone cannot heal Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world I can't seem to shake But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me to chills Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills Keep your nose on the grindstone

Im a native american/african american 21 year old man who was adopted by white parents and have been struggling with a substance addiction on and off for 4 years. I found this song a year ago, showed to me by a co worker who had been raised in a different way than I. I was raised with some country music, but I generally don't partake. Music does not discriminate between race, color, or creed. When a man or woman is singing from the soul, it resonates to those who seek the same truth: We are all humans, and humans make mistakes. But it takes true humility to accept that you have to take accountability for your actions, and the only way to have the strength to do that is asking God for help. And God is good, so any potential good you see in others is God working through them.
