The honest to God truth is that Dean Strickland's "Hitchhiking Guitarman"� CD is a product of his faith, determination and answered prayers. Without each of those things the"Hitchhiking Guitarman"� by Dean Strickland would have never come about. Faith, and determination are what Dean Strickland used, which helped him through years of immensely dangerous hitchhiking from town to town seeking to grow as a musician, as he prayed in Jesus' name that the Lord would guide his feet, send him songs, and keep him safe. In addition to Dean's prayers mentioned previously, Dean prayed that the Lord would make it possible that the songs he had written be recorded before he set off on a hitchhiking journey from Texas to Nashville, Tennessee. While hitchhiking to Nashville, Dean's prayer that a retail ready CD be made came to pass. That CD would be called "Hitchhiking Guitarman"�. While hitchhiking to Nashville, a man claiming to be a prophet picked Dean up in Texas, and prophesied that Dean will be influential worldwide.
