Tim Dabbs

Safely Home. Tim's latest CD was released in late 2006. You can order this album from CD Baby, or download it from a wide variety of digital download sites including ITunes, Napster. and Rhapsody. Tim covers his three main influences on this album with tunes by Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, and John Denver. It includes the first licensed recording of John Denver's Storms of November. The original music on the album continues Tim's penchant for singing about the people and places of America, including the barnstorming pilots of the early airmail service, the Chesapeake Bay watermen, and railroadmen. The title track is a tribute to Tim's friend Lt Col Michael Anderson, and the crew of the space shuttle Columbia (STS-107).
