The artist, John Padovano padpublishing@yahoo.com
I perform solo year round along the Jersey shore (USA) at coffeehouses and cafes. THE DUSTY ROAD SESSION was recorded on one afternoon, live in-studio without over-dubs with only my vocal and acoustic guitar. A B Movie I Was In and Dusty Road are the key songs on this release. There is a cinematic theme to the Dusty Road Session; the first song is called Opening Song and the last song is called Closing Song. And in-between are songs varied in topics. But there is a definite yearning for simpler days that inter-twines this collection. My first four albums are entitled : SET IN NOVEMBER, BLUES STATION MEMOIRS, SONGS AND BELONGINGS, and LOST IN A CROWD. I opened for Leon Redbone, which is an indication ,of sorts,of yet another genre of music I appreciate. My influences range from Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Lightnin'Hopkins, Sonny Terry and Brownie Mcghee to The Beatles, Ray Davies and Bob Dylan. I consider a show I saw of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee in Greenwich Village New York a definite influence on my deciding to keep up live performances at coffeehouses and cafes. All 27 of the songs on this CD are my originals
