One Country Album Project Thank You's
First and foremost I'd like to thank God Almighty from Whom all my blessings flow for not only giving me the gift of song but for your spiritual anointing. To my Heavenly Father for this, everything I am, and everything I long to be: Thank you Yahweh!
I dedicate this album to my son Calvin B. Richardson and my daughter Tamara R. Garmon. You guys are my life and I love you more than life. And also my brother, William Moore aka "Wiz". I'll never forget you or what you've done for me. You have made an everlasting impression on my life. Here's to you and everyone like you whose rise and fall was to help someone else. So peace until your release. One Country.
To my mother, I love you with all my heart. Thank you and the rest of my family and friends who support me. Extra love to my sister Candy Burch. I'm proud of you. And to my brother Larry Burch aka "Lary Love", I'm with you til the end.
Special Thanks to Damian "Deo" Blyden, for sharing my vision. Oh! Let's not forget it was you who put me on. This project is without question what it is because of you. I can't thank you enough for staying consistently involved in the completion of my project, taking all those two hour drives to the studio in Bridgeport, CT., staying until the wee hours of the night. So for everything I've mention as well as things I didn't, man, I love you like a brother. It's been a long road and because of you and the dedication you've shown to me and my project I'm ready to do what I've got to do. Yo! Take care of Gig, you know you guys could never beat me and my brother in B-Ball Peace Out, One Country.
Kadar, thank you for taking the time to sit down with me and sharing your profound knowledge and vision.
Congratulations on your new position as CEO of Motown. I think you are that much needed addition to breathe life back into the company. Good Luck, I know you can do it...Peace, One Country.
Ms. Jocelyn Cooper, words cannot express the love I have for you. You knew where I was from the first time I met you, which lets me know you have vision beyond vision. Tank you for your support and belief...Peace, One Country.

To Heavy D, Thank you looking past what I was and seeing what I could be. I've Got Nothin' But Love For Ya. Peace, One Country.
To my brother, Country Hall, man, you've been one of my best friends as well as my brother. We've kicked up dust all over, but Monroe was our spot. Now let's kick dust up at the top!! Peace, One Country.
Eloise Bryan, I thank you for taking me under your wing with lots of love and for keeping a protective and watchfull eye on my Recording Budget. Just for being there whenever I called you. My hat is forever off to you. Let's see who'll really rule. Peace One Country.
Mr. Doug Morris, I never got the chance to say thank you for giving a country boy like me a new life and the opportunity to express myself as an artist. So with much gratitude and respect, I thank you.
Extra thanks to everyone at Universal Records for standing by me from start to finish. I need every last one of you to succeed and I know this. Thank You.
To my new found family at Padell, Nadell, Fine, Weinberger & Co., Bert, You're the best. (I think Liz and Wanda are a Big Factor as to why.)
To My Brother Russell Davis aka "Russ D". There's no words to describe how grateful I am for having a friend like you. Thank you for being a friend.
Now there's a Special Thanks to all the Producers and Artist that worked on this album. May God be with you all, especially Gerald Isaac, JJ, and my man Ira Schick. Gerald, thank you for sticking by me and encouraging me in times I felt discouraged. I love you my brother. Peace!
To the One Country Family, George Hughes, Tony Reese, and Christopher Fauci, together we stand so we'll never fall 'cause this Country Boy's got love for you all. George, I wonder if anybody from Monroe really doubted we'd come through.
To Monifah, you know "I've had a thang" for you from the start, something you can take to heart "I close my eyes and think of you" each time we are part. You are a beautiful person who seemingly without effort can lighten up one's darkest days. Peace, One Country.
