Title - The Tulsa Sessions
Artist - Kent Blazy
For those not in the know, hitmaker and Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member Kent Blazy returns with The Tulsa Sessions, a deeply personal collection of 12 recordings captured inside the legendary Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Recorded in a single, creatively charged session with acclaimed engineer Gary Laney, the project brings together 10 newly written songs alongside two reimagined favorites.
Tracked in the same historic room where music icons including Leon Russell, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and J.J. Cale created timeless recordings, THE TULSA SESSIONS reflects Blazy’s signature storytelling while honoring the rich musical legacy of one of America’s most revered recording studios.
1. ANY GIVEN DAY
2. NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU DO
3. EVERYTHING YOU ARE
4. NOTHING LIKE ANYTHING
5. FIRSTS
6. GOOD TIMES ARE COMING
7. ONCE UPON A RHYME
8. SUNSHINE GIRL
9. FOOTSTEPS OF DYLAN
10. PERFECT FOR ME
11. LIFE IS
With the new recording capturing a real moment in time, no artificial enhancements, no Auto-Tune, no Pro Tools fixes, just musicians, songs, and a performance exactly as it happened, the acclaimed songwriter and recording artist opens on the highly emotive ANY GIVEN DAY and the affecting NOBODY LOVES ME LIKE YOU DO and then he brings us the upbeat and forthright EVERYTHING YOU ARE, the gently rocking NOTHING LIKE ANYTHING and the low slung balladry of FIRSTS.
Along next is the free-flowing GOOD TIMES ARE COMING and some engaging storytelling within ONCE UPON A RHYME, and they are in turn backed by the impassioned SUNSHINE GIRL, a troubadour-spun homage to FOOTSTEPS OF DYLAN, the new set rounding out on the sedate rocker PERFECT FOR ME, concluding on the delicately sculpted LIFE IS.
“Sometimes everything just falls into place. I left home before daylight, flew to Tulsa, dropped my bag at the hotel, and headed straight to The Church Studio. From the moment we started recording with Gary Laney, there was an energy in that room that you could feel.”
“Standing where artists like Leon Russell, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and J.J. Cale made music was incredibly inspiring. By the end of the day, after recording 12 songs, I realized we hadn’t just made demos; we had made a record. That’s how The Tulsa Sessions came to life.” - Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame Member, Kent Blazy.
