47: Past My Prime And Still Getting Better
26-Track, Dual-Disc Country/Rock Album from Crimulus

Past My Prime and Still Getting Better arrive as companion albums that trace a life in motion—looking backward without getting stuck there, and forward without pretending the road is smooth. Across both records, the songs wrestle openly with aging, identity, love, regret, and endurance, balancing hard-earned wisdom with the restless curiosity that never quite fades. These are songs about staying present while time keeps marching on, about finding meaning not in perfection, but in persistence.

Past My Prime leans into reflection and reckoning. Songs like “Folks On Fire,” “Some Me,” and “Waiting” explore the strange tension between who we thought we’d be and who we actually became, while tracks such as “78 Pinto” and “Sometimes Ya Gotta Let The Other Guy Drive” turn memory and metaphor into something warm, human, and lived-in. There’s humor here, too, and humility—an understanding that nostalgia can comfort without controlling us. Even in its heavier moments, the album never loses sight of forward momentum.

Still Getting Better shifts the focus toward survival, connection, and emotional honesty in the present tense. From the intimacy of “Every Time I Go To Sleep” to the raw confrontation of “Tough Pill To Swallow” and “The Victim,” these songs face heartbreak, mental health, and resilience head-on. Moments of levity and tenderness—like “Bad Baby Ducks” or “You’re Holding Me” — provide balance, reminding us that softness and strength often exist side by side.

Together, these discs tell a bigger story: that life doesn’t peak and fade—it changes shape. That growth isn’t linear, closure isn’t guaranteed, and meaning is found by continuing to show up. Past My Prime and Still Getting Better aren’t about having the answers; they’re about asking better questions, carrying hope through the rain, and lighting a fire anyway.
