The title track “All the Right Reasons” gives his raw perspective on the timeless topic of unrequited love. Like a battle-tried soldier, “All the Right Reasons” maintains the glory of battle despite ultimate defeat.
All the Right Reasons

American Mojo, was recorded in Sheffield, Alabama in an area known as “The Shoals”, with legendary studio musicians including members of the “Swampers”“.

They have appeared on more than 75 gold and platinum hits (Source Wikipedia 2016).
American Mojo is the record of Cline’s journey not only to this place, but the documentary of his baptism as a Troubadour in the roots of American music. This journey has taken him across the country: from the crossroadsof the Little Goose River in the Big Horn Mountains, across the plains of Kansas, through Texas, Louisiana and beyond.
As Cline followed the songs, they led him to a new home at the banks of the Tennessee River. Cline was inspired,challenged and humbled by the spirit of the people which led him to find his Mojo!
