Matt Basile – Hang On St. Christopher
On April 25, New York artist Matt Basile released his first single of the year, titled 'Hang On St. Christopher'. Matt Basileis preparing to release his new record, which should be released in September, and by this time he plans to release singles from this album, and 'Hang On St. Christopher' is one of them.

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.
