I have included all my own compositions though which you will get an insight into the way I view life. Songs such as To Hell With You And Me, this is the way I see the Government of today, treating us without any respect or interest in our views similarly with the song Turn This Mess About. Just Be Your Self which has the message to a take life as you find it and just be your self and remember as the title track warns us that life is “Just” A Game. I have included two gospel songs on the Album, Nearer To God In My Garden and The End Is Neigh, written because I grew up with a love of country gospel music and I believe that we need to lead a Christian way of life.
Then for a change of pace I have included a couple of humorous songs One One and One Two. Originally a four line kid’s rhyme which I expanded to nearly the length of the Melbourne Cup, and every man’s embarrassment when his pants begin to go ask Henry Lawson. I have also included a Christmas song, Christmas Time In Tingha one that was given to Buddy Williams to record, just changing Tingha to Tamworth and a couple of lines but here is my original version.

Neil Ross Buttsworth
"Buttsy"
15.02.1949 - 26.06.2011
Some of Australia's finest Country Music Artists, along with Kross Kut Records, family and friends saw the Wauchope RSL auditorium packed on Sunday 3rd July to give Neil Buttsworth a sendoff to be remembered. Neil launched his new CD "Lifes Journey" which he got to listen to only days before his sad passing on the 26th June.
