If you take some progressive rock, add some jazz, some Americana, a bit of blues and a tad of country you get the album Inward by Montreal, Canada-based artist Ghostly Beard A.K.A. Patrick Talbot a virtuoso singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who recently came out of a 15-year musical retirement. When listening to his music, one can hear his inspiration from such legendary artists and bands as Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, Michael Franks, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Genesis, XTC, and Weather Report. This May 4, 2018, ten track album which consists of songs written, and all instruments and vocals by Talbot is the third official CD release which defines the Ghostly Beard sound which is a blend of many influences and genres including such tracks as How Does It Feel, Autumn Blues, Let It Rain, Going Away and so much more. I was impressed with how well this album was written, recorded and performed. This album is available from Amazon, Bandcamp and other outlets and proceeds from album sales will be given to MusiCounts, a Canadian charity organization that promotes music education through a wide variety of programs, including scholarships and providing musical instruments and equipment to after-school music programs and other community non-profit organizations.
