Andy Griggs Latest Project, Naked, Featured as -New & Noteworthy- on iTunes

Nashville, Tenn. - Andy Griggs often says, there is no defining a style of song. As long as theres soul, it has a place in music. Griggs took these words to heart when he set out to record and produce his latest album, NAKED, which is all acoustic. Country Weekly says most listeners latch onto a song because of a melody, a voice or a lyric. So Andy Griggs did something really clever. He stripped away the high-tech production on his new album, Naked, and presents the things you lovea melody, a voice and an amazing stack of songs. Armed with just his guitar and accompanied by his earthy soul-filled vocals, Griggs penned original tunes for his new offering, as well as covered songs from artists that influenced him like Waylons Old Timer and Willies Angel Flying Too Close To the Ground. Country Weekly bestowed it with 4 stars, the highest rating Griggs has had on any album. iTunes, the largest distributor of digital music puts its stamp of approval on the albums they believe to be significant additions to the musical landscape.

Me On His Mind "Witnessing this recording session solidified all of my beliefs about Andys undeniable talent and the sheer, transcendent power of music and fulfilled all my expectations, says Griggs manager, Cathy Nakos. One track, one singer/musician, raw, no frills, totally vulnerable, one engineer, no punching...it was magical and incredible to behold. How could one person/artist put himself out there for all to see, totally exposed, mistakes and all, but totally willing to sacrifice for the authenticity and soul-baring honesty and pure emotion of the songs. How could we title this album anything but NAKED?" Griggs states, "Im addicted to pure and raw feelings thats as still and quiet as the wind. Throwing your heart out whether its healthy or broken! Exposing a hurting soul! Bearing and giving it all with that ol piece of wood and 6 strings! Its underwear on the couch, singing until daylight! Its vulnerability to yourself! Its vulnerability to your friends! Its vulnerability to a crowd of strangers! In short, its all about bein NAKED!" For more information about Andy Griggs, visit andygriggs.com
