Leaving the bright lights of Las Vegas behind him, Terry now makes music from a cabin in the secluded North Cascade Mountains of Washington state. Terry's fast-living countrypolitan past is present on these tracks; but so is a gentle serenity that mirrors his current surroundings.
These are songs from Terry Lee Hardesty & The Eagle River Band "Lover's Moon" CD recorded Live at "The Red Boot Saloon" at "The Oasis Casino" in Misquite, Nevada in 1996. This is what Terry Hardesty was doing in Las Vegas when he wasn't performing with music legends like Merle Haggard and Johnny Paycheck. Terry lives like a real mountain man these days with his wife and wolf deep in the forest. There is always the clubs and the music on those weekend nights. Three new songs that he has written are also posted on this page and not available on any CD. Mama's Love, Legend, and Lovin' You Blues were recorded in a small local Twisp Studio. Life is good here in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State. The rivers and creeks are clean and the air is sweet. There are deer, bears, turkeys, geese, and grouse. This is good living up here in a land where people really love the wilderness. So Las Vegas and all the glamour and money is in the past. These are the days of peace and happiness surrounded with the beauty of nature barely touched by the labors of humans. Terry and Merle Haggard co-wrote the song "Winds of Change" which appears on Merle's CD "1996" in which Terry also plays acoustic guitar.
