I was born in Savannah, GA, raised on nearby Tybee Island, and moved to Nashville in 1986 to pursue songwriting. I am fortunate to have written for some of my favorites in my time here including Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Bonnie Raitt, Lee Roy Parnell, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Delbert McClinton, Reba McEntire, Suzy Bogguss, Don Williams and Hal Ketchum. Some of the songs on this album you'll recognize, and some of them are still looking for a home; but I am grateful for every one of them and for the good people to whom they've led me.

Way Back When
author: Joe Zizza
This is a quiet and unassuming gem from a songwriter gifted with insight and a rare talent for evoking emotion without being maudlin. Not the world's greatest voice, but he sings with feeling and restraint, which some more famous singers could learn from. This is one I will come back to, just as I still listen to his "Changes" LP from back in '84. Nice to have another recording from Tony.

Tony is awesome - singer, performer and writer extraordinaire
author: Patricia
We make it a point to hear Tony in Nashville whenever and wherever he performs. His songs are among the very best that are being written today and his voice is remarkable..clear, deep, unaffected, and just downright beautiful. His guitar playing is outstanding and his guitar and his vocal melody are perfectly in complement. If it sounds like we are devoted fans, then you get the idea. This is a CD that keeps getting put in our top rotation, month after month. Just can't get enough of him. His songs have style, depth and character. He is a poet, an artist and a beautiful soul, which all come through when he sings his own songs. He has penned hits for some of our biggest stars, but there is nothing that compares to his singing his songs himself.

Beautiful songs from a beautiful writer.

You may not know of Tony Arata's songs if you haven't read the credits to the songs on half of Nashville's top stars, but you should learn about them now. Arata combines candor and intelligence with tender sentiment and hope. No wonder he is so revered among songsmiths.
