Our good friend, singer/songwriter Kenneth Pattengale's 6th full-length studio album Storied Places [Milan Records (Rykodisc/WEA)] is finally out! "Running the gamut from swamp music to rhythm and blues, lullaby to country and western, folk song to piano ballad- the songs on [Storied Places] take direction from the stories they tell."



"Kenneth Pattengale works outside—or at least on the fringes—of what the music industry might traditionally call its own. Over the last eight years, Pattengale has taken inspiration from the career paths of artists like Randy Newman, Elvis Costello and personal hero Joe Henry by exploring what it means to wear the differing hats of film composer, record producer and performing songwriter."
