My brother Mike Neal had the opportunity back in 1992 to jam one night at his studio with his friend Joey Floyd, who also brought along the one and only Honkytonk King, Gary Stewart. Gary had previously written this song and that night he, Mike and Joey recorded it. Throughout the years, Mike has worked on the song with help from fellow musicians and it is now available on most streaming platforms and is truly remarkable. I talked with Mike about that night and the evolution of "I'm Guilty". Here's a link to the song and it will also be featured at the end of our interview. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/PfxPBxv58Ig?si=RAXylEVPi-h1lNmr
