Listeners are assured of a shiver down the spine when listening to the intro of this song. Broad electric guitars, their strong vibrations, forceful rhythmic patterns with a firm kick and sharp snare ensure that the theme of this song is robust and ambitious. A country song at heart, yet it pushes every single musical element, admirably breaking the limits of its genre. Guitar riffs are impressive and add a lot of colour to this song, staying bright behind the vocals as well as filling the spaces in between. The listener is treated to one of the coolest guitar solos, connecting to the bridge section of this song. The strength in the artist to keep this song consistently vibrant is immeasurable and really appreciated.
The Voice of Gary Pratt is an ultimate pleasure to listen to. The potential that this voice holds can be heard through numerous variations and harmonies just in this one piece. Crispy hi-hats and cymbals make a lot of difference during softened and loud sections of this track. Overall the song is grand, addictive and delivers its meaning through outstanding music and words that the listener won't become tired of listening to.
Definitely listen to Gary Pratt - 'Country To the Bone' on Spotify and all other streaming platforms.
About Gary Pratt:
"Gary Pratt is a singer, a songwriter, and most of all, an energetic country entertainer, who connects with his audience. He grew up in the small, old coal-mining town of Slickville, Pennsylvania. In addition to being the frontman for several local bands in the Pittsburgh area, he has had the experience of hitting the Nashville club and showcase scene. He has had the pleasure of singing at the Tennessee State Fair, Rocky Gap Music Festival and CMA Fest. Gary has been the opening act for such greats as Dwight Yoakum, Pam Tillis, Lorrie Morgan, Ronnie Milsap and Crystal Gayle, to name a few.
His March album release, "Something Worth Remembering'' (MTS Records), is dedicated to his brother, who recently passed. The album is a combination of Gary's originals and songs written by hit Nashville songwriters. The title track was written by Grammy Award Nominee, Tony Arata, who wrote Garth Brooks' "The Dance". In the making for more than a year, the album was recorded at Tonic Studios with Engineer Doug Kasper, Producer Bryan Cole (Ashley Puckett, Savannah) and Musician/Artist Adam Ernst. Excited about this new album, Gary invited MTS Records’ award-winning male vocalist Matt Westin and multiple international #1 iTunes female vocalist Savannah (Nider) to help out on a few songs. Savannah and Gary recorded the duet he wrote, "To Find Us", at Omni Studios in Nashville. The album contains the international #1 iTunes smash, “A Song You Can Drink a Beer To.”
Gary is a 2021 International Singer-Songwriters Association Award Winner and a 2021 Josie Music Awards nominee.
A man of faith, Gary is forever thankful to God for walking with him through life, paving this musical journey and putting the gift of music in his heart. Not only has music been an outlet emotionally that has helped Gary through some rough times, but it has also brought the family together and has introduced him to some of the most amazing people he is proud to call friends."
