About Chrissy
I hope this message finds you and yours well. It feels like forever since I've had anything to report. But now…. I don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt?!
After thirty years of performing other people's songs, I can finally sing with my band. And be as busy as we want to be. It's weird to say that my full-time job now is writing music to me. That's the easy part. Words come easy when they are your own—knowing all that I know now. And what I learned from back then. I've come to realize. You have to pirate up and protect your treasures. Or you'll be forced into singing duets with pop stars and wearing glitter cowboy hats! So I got to work. I started my own record label, publishing, and merchandise company. Rid the middleman and call my own shots.
So if your interested in knowing all that goes into making an album and what Nashville isn't these days. I welcome you to come back for a visit. See what we've been up to! I'll be posting videos and pics as I go along. So you can see how silly we all can get after a long day of writing or studio sessions. I can't wait to share my experiences and stories with you.
Until then, be well. Be on the lookout for more updates and local shows. Hugs, Chrissy
Waymore's Outlaws
Waymore's Outlaws are made up of members from the late Waylon Jennings. Waylon's bass player. Jerry Bridges. He took me under his wing and gathered up the posse to produce Chrissy's first album. Chrissy grew up listening to Waylon on an 8-track tape. Now she is doing music with members of his band. "Never in a million years"….
