Andy,
I came across your music about a year ago and just listened to Godspeed again this evening. This song is so right on for Rick McGee. I am very sorry about his passing. I hope all is well with you and please do more great music.
Take Care

Having never heard of Andy Budd before, I picked up a cd at the Warrenton Father's Day antique car show where the Monterey was displayed. Both the music and the lyrics were wonderful, and I played it all afternoon. I often get bored by themes of young composers, but Andy Budd has seen a lot of life and articulates its richness--both humor and sorrow-- as well as the cars. Thank you so much. I will be passing your name on to my friends.

I would like to say thank you very much for your music CD. I downloaded it on my ipod and have listened to the entire CD. WOW, it is absolutely awesome. It made me laugh, and even caused me to jerk a little tear, truth be told !! I enjoy various forms of music, and your style is amongst my favorite. You did a phenominal job on producing it, and it is giving me much listening pleasure while I am 8000 miles away in a pretty hostile environment. I will say however, there is something that I noted that is even more awesome; that is the fact that you are donating the proceeds to Habitat for Humanity and the Boys and Girls club of Fauquier County. I am aware of the many contributions that you have made to our community and I am grateful for folks like yourself who are truly a rare and dying breed. As you say in one of your songs, giving is better than taking; you personify this attribute. Thank you for doing all that you do.

Thanks for this latest CD - I just happened to hear a clip of you on cd baby, and ordered it on a whim. I'm not even a big country fan, but I love good music, and this certainly is! I quote your lyrics to my friends: "she gave away his gun rack, and sold his favorite chair. Now he's living with the stink of scented candles in the air." Make more music. Come to Austin!

Andy,
Looking forward to seeing you at the wedding. I listened to all your songs, you are a great song writer. We also have your first album. I carefully listen to all your songs. The songs I like the most are the slow songs, they have so much meaning and make me cry. Good Luck to you.
Love you,

Andy Budd is definitley a man who can focus and aspire on a multitude of people and grab their attention, by his God given gift of making folks listen verbally and by being a musician. I always knew that there was something magical about Andy...and now I know what it is. That he holds a great talent of writing his own music & lyrics, with a voice to charm everyone of all ages. Can't wait to hear your upcoming CD!

We had the privilege of receiving an advanced master copy of the new "ragtop monterey". This CD is the real deal! Very professional. Our family is really enjoying it. Looks like Andy will spending more time in Nashville than the car business! I know everyone will agree. Very very good!

Hi Andy,
Excellent job on the writing!
You continue to improve and impress me with your abilities. This coming from a country music fan since I was a young child.
Continue to pursue Nashville with the same passion you write with and I know I'll be listening to one of your songs on the local radio, satalite and live in a concert before long.
All the best,
Tim

Andy Budd and Trent Jeffcoat?....a match made in heaven! I'm speechless for once. I've listened to these songs a hundred times and loved each one but Trent has added something that was missing that I never knew was missing: another man's interpretation; another man who feels the songs the way they were written: with emotion of the heart. I don't know Trent but I already love him like a brother....another brother??? yeah, there's room in my heart for one that sings my brother Andy's songs like that!!! Whew! ....I guess I was speechless , after all......just awestruck. Love you , Andy....and love you, too, Trent.
Danan Caldwell
September 12, 2009
Love the new music and lyrics! Trent Jeffcoat has a great voice ... why, he may be the next big country star and singing your awesome songs. Expect to see you both at the Grammy Awards! "64 Shortbed" should be Chevy's next commercial! Have to say though...my personal favorite is Ride That Ol' Freight - this ole body just can't sit still and it never fails to put a smile on my face! Andy, thanks for the music! Keep the songs comin' Love ya, Danan

What a beautiful song -- and how special to dedicate it to Jack. He was a beautiful friend. I lost my husband, Kenny, two years ago to cancer and wish I had heard your song then. The words are perfect!! Good luck to you -- you have new fans in Centreville!!

Thank you for this special tribute to my brother-in-law. Jack was as much a brother to me as if we were actually blood related. He was my husband's brother and best friend. He will be missed. Your song touches a cord deep in my heart and I thank God for your talent that you've shared with us. God Bless ~Lorrie

Superb, Andy! These latest songs, with the addition of Trent Jeffcoat's rich, deep voice, are going to showcase the depth and soulfullness of your songwriting talents and we all know there are many more tunes and stories just waiting for you to bring them to life with your guitar. Godspeed: A tremendously tender and visual song that only a best friend could have felt and written. '64 Shortbed: another terrific true story that you've brought to life with your lyrics, music and one hellava bunch of talented studio muscians who transformed your music into tunes I want to play over and over again and savor every note and musical nuiance. Congrats to you and Trent Jeffcoat for givisng us all such great music to listen to this weekend and can't wait to hear your new CD when you release it!

Just finished listening to your new songs. Thought Godspeed was beautiful--any of us who has lost a friend or loved one can relate. The new singer sounds great, but must confess that at first, I thought it was you. I loved your voice on This Crazy Dream and many others. Hope your songs go far--thanks for more great music!

Andy,
I like all four songs. Godspeed is a hauntingly beautiful song that brought tears to my evyes. I tapped my toes to O'l Freight. I can see Trace Atkins singing both of them. He's Still Missing Her shows your very unique sense of humor.
Hey, while you are pitching songs throw What Would I DO Without the Music in the mix. Remember, it meets all the criteria....you never know!
Tom Garden

Godspeed gets me thinking about my best friend -- we grew up together and went to college together. He died two years ago of brain disease. Music helps people make lots of connections.
Thanks Andy. I hope this goes a long way.

Andy....love your music! Who knew you were so talented! Of course it has been 30 plus years since I have seen you. Sounds like you have done real well for yourself. I can honestly say I have had a real blessed life as well...married 27 years with 3 kids,one married and 2 in college. I have been lucky to stay home with the kids and do all the volunteer work, PTA, running around, etc. Frank was in the Marines and then went into commercial real estate for for 20 years. He was very successful. He is now retired and works full time with Habitat for Humanity. I still stay busy with volunteer work at church (love my high school kids), tennis, running , gardening, travelling, mission trips, part time "fun" job,etc.
Do you ever tour with your music? Great to see you are doing well.

Hi there!
I just want to tell you how much I have enjoyed your CD! You were handing them out on Saturday at your dealership, and we listeded to it on our way home. My favorites(so far)include, "Time Won't Do It For Me", "Too Poor to Paint", and "Matthew 5:16". And! "Have I Got A Deal For You" is hysterical!
Just wanted you to know that we have truly enjoyed this CD so far. We hope to hear more from you in the future.

While waiting for my car to be serviced at your dealership, I picked up the "Jimmy Buffett for President" CD. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it (fun and cute) and decided to go online to check out your other songs. Well, for the past two hours I have been listening and enjoying. I especially like "This Crazy Dream" and "Matthew 5:16" and look forward to buying the CD. Thanks for the great entertainment.
Do you entertain anywhere in the local area? We recently moved back to Northern VA and now live in the Warrenton area.
