About: HILLBILLY DREADNOUGHT
Most people ask about the name right away.
There is no denying I am a hillbilly, from the things I do to the way I view Faith , Family, and the world.
Dreadnought from the undestroyable battle ship. It will go to hell and back on Sunday, and take all kinds of fire and damage but refuses to lay down and die. That kinda sums up my life.
And you can hear that in my first album,
MORE TIME THAN MONEY
I sincerely hope you enjoy.
