This new album, "I’m Old Fashioned," is the culmination of a project deeply rooted in timeless musical experiences and collaborations. The journey began with “I Could Have Told You So,” a song that ignited the entire endeavor. Recorded in New York at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio, this album boasts an exceptional lineup of musicians: Ben Paterson, Chris Flory, and Neal Miner. Their musical talents brought depth and richness to the recording, for which the artist expresses heartfelt gratitude.

The sequencing of the album posed challenges due to the abundance of slower tracks, but it opens boldly with the bass-led and vocal-driven “You Took Advantage of Me,” a lively mainstay in the artist’s repertoire. The album’s emotional range spans from the poignant “Spring Won’t Be Around This Season,” introduced by Cory and inspired by Teddi King’s performance, to the irresistibly catchy “Candy,” reminiscent of the Nat Cole Trio's energy.

“A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” stands out for its rhythmic novelty, thanks to Ben Paterson’s innovative suggestion that showcases Chris Flory’s skillful touch. The choice of recording with a vintage RCA ribbon microphone added a special texture, enhancing the vocal quality on this track.

The classic “Don’t Go To Strangers” highlights Ben’s idea of a rubato refrain, adding depth and feeling. The title track, “I’m Old Fashioned,” perfectly embodies the sentiment and feel of the album. The band’s tight, swinging performance and Chris’s tasteful solo make it a standout, aligning with the artist’s vision of danceable joy.

The emotional core of the project, “I Could Have Told You So,” harkens back to a live performance in Vancouver that set everything in motion. The artist recounts this personal history with warmth, underscoring its significance.

“Mean to Me” offers playful, sarcastic fun, underpinned by Ben’s stride piano and the compelling solos by Chris and Neal. The ballad “Blame it On My Youth” brings an introspective nostalgia, reflecting on the passage of time and the poignancy of youthful love.

The inclusion of “Surfer Girl” holds special personal meaning as it’s a nod to the artist’s relationship with his wife, making it a touching and heartfelt addition. Ben’s sensitive arrangement fits seamlessly with the album’s classic style, infusing it with genuine emotion.

The album, recorded in the same sessions as "Ready, Willing, and Able" over two years ago, retains a timeless essence. The mixing and mastering by Shawn Pierce, a trusted collaborator, brought the project to life with a polished finish, closing this chapter and setting the stage for more musical journeys to come.
