With this album Paul Dougherty pays tribute to his father, jazz singer, composer, and organ player Tommy Dougherty, who passed away in 2017 He has chosen a selection of fourteen songs, all them composed by his father during the 80’s and 90’s Paul has selected a wide range of songs that cover various styles, from jazzy ballads to blues or even a more rocky tunes, together with other compositions where you will find some Ray Charles’ and Billie Holiday’s influences His father career was mainly developed in Nashville, where he got a certain notoriety and popularity and where Paul made his first musical attempts, although he now lives in Munich, Germany and it has been in this European city where he has recorded this album where, besides singing, he also plays all the instruments with the exception of Cowgirl Song where you will also find Paul Hilton on pedal steel guitar This album lets us either discover or remember a musician who does not deserve to be forgotten Paul Dougherty has been able to return his love to an important person In his life, giving the best of himself in each of the album songs, to round up a recording that becomes a well deserved tribute as well as a good musical experience
