His first album was a collection of radio friendly songs, six of which Curtis co-wrote, including that award winning “Georgia Rain”.

Curtis now has four videos on Canada’s “CMT”. They include, “Georgia Rain”, “Midnight Angel”, “A Tender Heart Is The Strongest Part Of A Man”, and his current single, “Just In Time”. “Still”, says Curtis, I receive great satisfaction performing live.
