about

PHYSICAL CD IS AVAILABLE AT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> WWW.STEELDERRICKMUSIC.COM!!

Gratitude Blues was written and recorded during my COVID-19 pandemic quarantine in Burbank, CA. After about two months, I started to feel a sort of cabin fever and knew I had to do something, which of course involves creating art. A third and final solo record was always in the cards but I had no immediate plans...it became immediate in the summer of 2020.

Gratitude Blues is mostly personal and autobiographical like my first two records. However this one feels even more in that direction and completes that musical journey. It was always going to be a triptych. I just don't think I could do another one of these anyway. That's just me. The next will probably be a country/Americana record with a gal singer, I don't know. That's about all I want to do now that I just turned 60...figures.

I hope my friends and fans dig Gratitude Blues. I also wanna wish love and peace in the lives of all the people who lost someone during the terrible pandemic of 2020/21. That’s where the blues in my
Gratitude comes from. In my life, I’ve found that music heals. That’s why I made this...for myself, and for those who need it. Hope it works for you too.

Love to Everyone — Nelson Bragg, August 14, 2021
