The song 'Hang On St. Christopher' is actually a cover version of the famous hit by Tom Waits but it sounds completely different when performed by Matt Basile. As the artist Matt Basile himself notes, this is not a Christian song, but rather a song about dangerous journeys and what adventures happen on the path of a brave traveler.
Musicaly, 'Hang On St. Christopher' is a wonderful country western with its own musical arrangement where every instrument and every note is heard. Warm jazz organ and bright country guitar are wonderfully intertwined with a moving rhythm section and deep and velvety vocals. Matt Basile sings with a sense of knowledge of the business, because he also had to travel and take part in the most incredible adventures.
Matt Basile's 'Hang On St. Christopher' is a treat for country and Americana music lovers and we highly recommend listening to the track right now below on Spotify.
