Release: Pat McDougall - In The Key Of Sorry

Pat McDougall - In The Key Of Sorry Title: In The Key Of Sorry Release Date: April 25, 2023 Produced By: Pat McDougall & Jimi Bott Engineered and Mixed By: Jimi Bott Recorded At: Roseleaf Recording, Portland OR In The Key Of Sorry is a collection of 12 songs co-produced by Pat McDougall and Jimi Bott at Roseleaf Recording. All songs were written by Pat; two were co-written with others. This eclectic collection has something for everyone: up-tempo blues, melancholy soul ballads, swampy slide guitar blues, ironically humorous romps, even a pop-rock anthem.

“It’s a huge thrill to bring my songs to a wider audience through this recording,” Pat says. “I’m infinitely grateful to the musicians who brought their talents to the project, and to my brilliantly creative and unfailingly wise co-producer, Jimi Bott.”
