| Marlboro musician releases new CD, slates local show On Oct. 22, New Jersey country/ Americana performer Michael Patrick, of Marlboro, will celebrate the release of his newest solo CD, "Another Song You Never Heard, " with a concert at The Saint in Asbury Park. In recent years, Patrick, along with his bands the Suburban Hillbillies and the Johnny Cash tribute Ring of Fire Band, has shared the stage with country music superstars Randy Travis, Rosanne Cash, John Carter Cash, Steve Earle, Justin Townes Earle and Marty Stuart. Patrick's prior independent releases include "Roots and Branches" and "Something to Fall Back On." His latest release features 11 new, original songs that continue in theAmericana, country and folk rock traditions that make up Patrick's signature style, alongside a few that incorporate elements of blues, ragtime, gospel and even rock. According to a press release, Patrick is comfortable and confident in taking a leap forward with this CD, evidenced by the simple honesty and humor in songs like "I'm Still Young, " the hilarious tale of getting older on the outside, but still feeling like a kid on the inside; "Callin' in Well, " which Patrick remarks, "beats telling the boss you're sick!" and "Your Top Ten, " which is a humorous little ditty lamenting social media love gone bad. This latest project was recorded at Studio X in Nashville, Tenn., and produced in conjunction with award-winning producer Tom Manche. "Another Song You Never Heard" features some of Nashville's top session players, including Mark T. Jordan on keyboards, Vince Santoro on drums, Tim Lorsch on fiddle and mandolin, and Jim Hoke on harmonica. Patrick will perform at The Saint, 601 Main St., Asbury Park, at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22. "Another Song You Never Heard" will be available for purchase at Patrick's show and on iTunes, Amazon.com and CD Baby. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Jazz News :: home page |
