I’ll Admit I Hit An Awkward Stage With My Voice When It Was Changing A Few Years Ago But I Like The Way Things Have Worked Out So Far.” Quinn Confides “My Major Goal As An Artist Is To Get Into Songwriting More ” And He’s Well On His Way With Midnight Highway For Which He Had A Hand In Writing Three Of The Stand-Out Tracks “Eyes For You” “Lifting Off” And “Going.” One Of The Other Songs That Quinn Tackled Is George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” While Quinn Will Forever Be Rooted In The Blues He’s Extremely Passionate About The Beatles So Every Effort Was Made To Replicate The Harrison Classic As Faithfully As Possible. Producer Tom Hambridge Remarked “We Really Tried To Make It Sound Like It Was Off The White Album So We Researched Everything About The Track Where The Mic Placement Should Be How To Get The Organ To Sound Like The Original. Quinn Is Such A Huge Beatles Fan So Of Course He Really Loved The Process.” The Album Was Recorded Primarily At Nashville’s Prestigious Blackbird Studio With Some Of The Greatest Players In Nashville Including Many Of The Same Musicians Who Played On The Buddy Guy Albums That Hambridge Produced. These Include Bassists Michael Rhodes And Tom Macdonald Guitarist Rob McNelley And Keyboard Player Reese Wynans A Veteran Of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble. Hambridge Notes “Quinn Was Anxious To Make An Album The Way I Make Those Buddy Guy Albums And He Did In Fact Tear It Up. Quinn Felt The Mojo And He ‘brought It’ In A Big Way.” As A Young Child Quinn Was Brought To Numerous Festivals And Concerts By His Music-Loving Parents. He Was The “kid With The Guitar “ In The Audience Who Would Strum Along With What Was Happening On Stage. Through Videos Quinn Became Enamored With Buddy Guy So His Dad Made Arrangements For Him To Meet His Idol When Guy Came To His Hometown. Backstage Before The Show He Asked Buddy To Autograph His Guitar Which Of Course He Did — But On Condition That The Boy Play It For Him. That Led To Buddy Calling Quinn Onstage To Join Him During His Set And An Unlikely Though Solid Bond Was Then Formed Between The Great Chicago Bluesman And The Eager Youngster From Massachusetts. Tom Hambridge Calls Quinn “a Sponge Who Soaks Up Everything That’s Around Him ” Adding “he’s Listening All The Time And He Just So Happens To Be Around Great Artists. Every Time He Plays It’s A Little Deeper. Buddy Guy Is Of Course His Mentor So He Channels Buddy’s Over-The-Top Reckless Abandon.” That’s Completely Understandable As Buddy Has More Than Once Advised Quinn “Just Go Out There And Show Them Why You’re Here… Make Them Remember You.” Off Stage Quinn Is Well Aware Of The Unique Opportunity He’s Been Afforded And Is Focused On Music As An Ongoing Pursuit. He Contrasts His Experience With Many Of His Contemporaries’ – “They’re Struggling To Come Up With What They’re Going To Do When They’re Out Of School But I’ve Decided This Is What I’m Going To Be Doing For The Rest Of My Life.” Website Quinn Sullivan
