“Like Red on a Rose” is the first single from Alan’s upcoming CD, scheduled for a Sept. 26 release and produced by Alison Krauss. “She had this vision, and she has such a good ear for music and songs,” says Alan. “I think more than the songs, it was probably the approach of her production and the instruments, and how she used them to see how they all worked with my voice.” Obviously, they’ve already made the right choice for the debut single.
