Firefighter Anthony Michael James strikes his own match to the flames reaffirming what Country music should be. The CD and title song “Old Friends” remembers the precious moments of time and friendships that have passed through our lives like the falling of a warm summer shower. Tossed into the mix is the funky, upbeat and nowhere politically correct “Steel Stampede” that hits a one horse town with cowboys riding their hogs and Indians ... motorcycles that is.
