Brady Seals back with new song, CD

The Pennsylvania-based label, headed by Grammy-nominated producer and engineer Jeff Glixman and musician/songwriter Jim Gentile, gave Seals control to pick songs, hire musicians and work in different Nashville studios. Seals self-produced an album for the first time in his long career.

The single is about "long-legged, half-wasted" party girls, dance club debauchery, illicit smoke breaks and a prize-winning marijuana crop. "There's no question of this being a really adult record," Seals said. "It gets raunchy and raw. But I've always wanted to make music that affects people. Love it, hate it. But you can't ignore it."

The album features contributions from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers drummer Stan Lynch, and pop singer Richard Marx - both played on separate tracks and co-wrote songs for the album with Seals. Hot Apple Pie makes guest appearances on three tracks.

Seals will be active during Nashville's CMA Music Fest this week. He will be in the 2009 Kick-Off Parade on Wednesday, June 10; sign in three booth. Seals will perform on the Hard Rock stage at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 12 and participate in the 2009 Ride for a Cure event on Sunday, June 14 which benefits the T.J. Martell Foundation.

At 16, Seals left his home in Ohio as a touring musician, and by 21 had scored 3 number 1 hits with Little Texas. He released three solo albums in the late '90s before forming and fronting the quartet Hot Apple Pie.
