Album Notes

*** Including the International Number 1 Radio Hit "Made in Mexico"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Being born in a musical family, singer-songwriter Marty Rivers was drawn into music from a very early age by listening attentively to his grandfather playing guitar in the little bar next to the family home. Although his passion for country music has been within him since childhood, he ventured into other styles of music which developed in him a sense of versatility that is so evident in his music today: versatility in the way he writes his songs and also in the way he delivers them. The first collection of songs was released in Marty’s debut self-titled album with a number of tracks placing high on various country radio charts including the Hit ‘Queen of my Heart’.
Marty’s new album, ‘Out of the Blue’, produced in Nashville by Gary Carter who worked with artists such as Randy Travis and Faith Hill, is a collection of 11 great songs all co-written by Marty himself. Songs that reflect the various musical influences that left such a blueprint on Marty’s unique style.
Songs such as Mexican vacation and Made in Mexico reveal the artist‘s Latin music influence while his island upbringing was the inspiration behind Paceville.
The title track along with the ballads Baby, you’ve changed my life and A lonely star uncover Marty’s more romantic side with Call Colorado being the most laid-back song on the album, a deep contrast from the track I’m available, which is a real country rocker with a touch of humor. The beauty of freedom is celebrated in So good to be free while the joy of redemption is delivered in the spiritual song Blinded.
The track Teasin’ kind of woman completes this album with its raw honky-tonk sound.
This is indeed a unique collection of songs that Marty is so excited to share with you all.
Enjoy the ride!
