Worth a Listen: Willy Catt

Worth a Listen focuses exclusively on independent artists and songwriters whose music has emotional impact without regard to recording or production quality.

Take a dash of emo, a pinch of funk, and blend in a generous cup of bluesy rock and you have a savory dish that will satisfy the most discriminating musical palette. Willy Cat's Time's Told On You is a tasty buffet of sweet laid back pop ballads topped with rich harmonies and garnished with uptempo Chicago-style horns. Oh, and did I mention it comes with Western Swing on the side? (Check out track 5 "10 Hours To Austin.") Catt makes this unique blend of flavors work with tasty jazz-influenced acoustic guitar playing and evocative singing. Backed by top-flight players from the Bruce Hornsby and Mary Chapin Carpenter bands and produced by Hornsby's guitarist, Doug Derryberry, Time's Told On You is ear candy from the first chord to the last guitar riff.

Available at Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, The Orchard.com and on Willy's website.
