If Brad Paisley and Willie Nelson ever spawned a lovechild, it might sound like Atlanta singer/songwriter Derek Toomey. His voice, like blackberries tangled on rusted barbed wire, is organic and rough around the edges, yet honest enough to evoke raw emotion. Mixed with Cajun and Irish roots, Derek grew up in Central Louisiana and remembers singing along to his grandparents’ Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn and Beatles records—when he wasn''t catching crawfish or wandering through the sugarcane fields near their Avoyelles Parish farmhouse. His debut CD “Kiss on the Wind” is a gumbo blend of those iconic styles—with a pinch of pop, folk rock and swamp thrown in.
Cajun French Music Association Hall of Fame accordionist Jo-El Sonnier lends his musical genius to the track “Evangeline,” while the album’s remaining 10 tracks take on a unique, guitar-driven Americana flavor. It is the storytelling and songwriting that shine on this project – infectious rhythms make you want to use your dashboard as a drum, and haunting, thought-provoking lyrics stick in your head.
Produced by David Leonard, whose credits include engineering https://www.tradebit.come’s album "Voyage to India," Derek’s CD is available at https://www.tradebit.com and popular online e-tailers. With words and melodies written to move you – the way Derek was moved to create them – “Kiss on the Wind” is a must-have for your CD player or iPod. The CD includes a downloadable pdf of the lyrics.
