MORTON will release his 7th
full-length recording entitled Slow Burn
on January 21, 2014, on Rara Avis Records.

electric guitar and harmonica. Players on the CD include:

drums; Tim Adams,
bass; Scotty Nicholson,
keyboards; Andrew Vickery,
slide guitar; and John Keane,
harmonies (track 6). The 9 original songs were tracked at John Keane

Salino at 1093
Boulevard and
mastered by J.P. Pruett.
The cover art for the CD was created by local musician/artist Jack Logan.

stellar press and is recognized for his distinctive voice and unique
lyrical style. His music has been praised by Relix,

Discovery Channel. “On My Feet Again” was used in the closing
sequence of the indie film “Flight Of
The Cardinal” (now on
Netflix). Most recently, his song “Devil In Me” was used in
