Sweany, Patrick: Close to the Floor [Vinyl LP]

In 1999 a young kid named Patrick Sweany went into legendary Suma Studios in NE Ohio and recorded a simple 11 track record featuring only acoustic guitar and one vocal. Most of the tracks were done in 2 takes. That recording made it's way into the hands of Jorma Kaukonen, Roy Book Binder, and Dan Auerbach (among others), landing Sweany a gig at prestigious Merlefest just a few months later. In honor of the record's 20th anniversary, Nine Mile Records has pressed this recording onto deluxe 180g vinyl, and Sweany's mentor and friend Jorma Kaukonen has written the liner notes. 20 years on, and it sounds both relevant and timeless.

Nashville Blues artist Patrick Sweany returns after a three-year hiatus to present his new full-length Ancient Noise. Recorded at legendary Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN with Grammy-winning engineer/producer Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell, Margo Price), Ancient Noise encapsulates all of the highlights of Sweany's 18 year career, from the breakneck howl of opening tracks "Old Time Ways" and "Up and Down" to the lush piano ballad "Country Loving" and the organ funk of "Get Along," Sweany moves effortlessly between styles, tying it all together with his rich, deep baritone voice and intricate finger-picking guitar style. Joining Sweany for this landmark record is Ken Coomer (ex-Wilco) on drums, longtime collaborator Ted Pecchio (Susan Tedeschi, Col. Bruce Hampton) on bass, and the legendary Charles Hodges (Al Green) on keys.
