Synopsis

Product Description
A songwriter's songwriter, Pierce Pettis is back with his first new studio album in nearly a decade with FATHER'S SON. Featuring 10 tracks, including a cover of Jesse Winchester's "A Showman's Life," Pettis writes about friends he's lost, childhood memories, and the relationships he's experienced both as a son and a father on these deeply moving, literate songs. Pettis, who first came to recognition as part of the "Fast Folk" movement in New York that featured fellow artists as Shawn Colvin, John Gorka and Suzanne Vega, moved to Nashville in the 90s and worked for years as a staff writer for Polygram Records before breaking out on his own as a solo recording and touring artist. FATHER'S SON, reuniting Pettis with producer Garry West, was recorded "live on the floor, with the band, with minimal overdubs, to create the energy authenticity of the sessions."
