My CD is entitled "In The Kingdom of the Blind," and I'm working on finishing up another one soon, which is called "On Top of the World." "Kingdom of the Blind" had a tendency to drift between genres, whereas "On Top of the World" Just Rocks!!!

The musical style spans the genres of Blues and Rock, ranging from hard and heavy, all the way down to soft and light. I have have a tendency, with some of my songs, to be a bit outrageous, and the music can be rather adultish. Cock Rock, and Shock Rock!!!...I Love It!!! But at times I drift toward Blues. People often tell me that my vocals sound like Elvis, so to describe my musical style in as few words as possible, you might envision Elvis meets Spinal Tap. I love Spinal Tap!

My musical career began as a bass player. I played bass for a number of Blues, and Classic Rock bands. Eventually, I moved more towards playing guitar, as I became more of a solo artist. At this time I began concentrating more on making my own recordings.

As you listen to my CD you will notice that my influences are the great legends from Blues and Classic Rock, Cock Rock, and Shock Rock. Artists such as Eric Clapton and Cream, Jim Morrison and the Doors, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Zappa, Alice Cooper, and of course Elvis, and Spinal Tap.

In actuality, Elvis was probably the original Cock Rocker, getting banned off the Ed Sullivan show for moving his hips around. But anyway...IMO, these artists drew heavily on both Rock and Blues, to achieve their unique sound. In many ways, I have also done this, and in the hope of adding my own style and signature to a compilation of Patch Jones tunes, that you will find to be something new and unique.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you Enjoy the tunes!!!
