In Patterns of Blue, his second release for Soona Songs, Kevin Elliott once again brings his unique finger-style guitar to a collection of his original songs. With a dark and quirky eye, he creates love songs, hopeless, lost, and true; and songs that examine many aspects of humanity, the ones we love to acknowledge, and the ones we try to forget. - Ghost Dog Kevin Elliott’s new album, Patterns of Blue, is for fans of emotionally complex, lyric driven music. With the vocals out front, and deceptively simple arrangements, the listener is drawn in by the seemingly familiar before being wowed by great lines like “a potion from the jimmy-crack collection he sells to provide me the knack to buy yesterdays back,” and “She ruled the dancefloor at the drunkards ball… that was her & that was me, and everything else was a mystery.” These are personal songs with universal appeal, and stripping away every extraneous nuance, the production fully supports connecting the listener with the inner song, and making this an album worthy of your attention. - Alan Gann, poet and educator Patterns of Blue Kevin Elliott Produced by Marilyn Duncan and Graham Duncan Recorded at Soona Songs Studio, Jonesborough, TN Engineered and Mixed by Graham Duncan Mastered by John Scrip at Massive Mastering Musicians: Kevin Elliott – vocals, acoustic guitars (Gibson J-45, Gramann Rappahannock, Martin Backpacker), Luna 6-String Banjo, percussion Graham Duncan – backing vocals, electric guitar, baritone, percussion Armand Beaudoin – double bass Kate Maurer –percussion Artwork: Graphic Design by Graham Duncan Paintings by Sandra Ahten Photo by Stephanie Rausch
