It has been a long road to get to this point in his career, but Cordell believes people
shouldn’t let obstacles stand in the way of their dreams and the vision for their life because everyone can achieve their dreams with persistence, hard work, and spiritual guidance. That is a philosophy that he hopes comes across in his latest music project which was recorded at The Project room with producer Jerry Webb in Nashville, Tennessee. The songs on this CD were chosen because they speak of experiences that he and his listeners can relate to in one way or another. One of the songs included on the CD, “Cowboy On”, is an upbeat dance song about letting go of the workplace drama of that nine-to-five job and being able to be yourself and doing what you love to do. This music is fun and will have everybody on their feet.
