MusicTalk with A.J. Croce

The 13th Floor’s Marty Duda spoke to A.J. Croce about his new all-covers album, By Request, which is due out tomorrow. Watch here!

Over the past three decades, A.J. Croce (son of Jim Croce) has established his reputation as a piano player and serious vocal stylist who draws on a range of musical traditions — part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul. His new album was born of memories — of favorite artists and shows, but mostly, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends, many of them fellow musicians, with Croce at the piano taking requests.

Croce revisits these musical evenings on BY REQUEST, 12 personally curated covers that traverse decades and genres, propelled by his spirited, piano mastery and emotive vocals. Both the variety and execution is inspired, aided by a full band and horns.

Available to pre-order now, the album comes out February 5 via Compass Records.
