- Kevin McCOURT shares positive "Passion and Insight" in his album COLOR OF THE TRUTH
- COLOR OF THE TRUTH, the new MPWest Records release from Kevin McCOURT, arrived in stores January 2nd, 1998. Says Stevie WONDER, "I love this CD. There's a lot of great stuff here." Greg PHILLINGANES, producer and keyboardist for artists such as Eric CLAPTON, Phil COLLINS, and currently the musical director of Quincy JONES' new, late-night, TV talk show, VIBE, agrees praising the collection as "a work of passion and insight that I thoroughly enjoyed."
- Kevin's passion and insight shine a unique positive light in today's world of dark, cynical songs. All of Kevin's concepts and lyrics arise from personal experiences in which he has found an encouraging message. Those who seek out this rare uplifting attitude in COLOR OF THE TRUTH, will also hear Kevin's talents as a composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and keyboard player.
- For his heart-felt ballads, such as What We Learn From Love and Waiting Here For You, and the steamy R&B groove of Burning Alive to the hypnotic title track, COLOR OF THE TRUTH, Kevin's music will pull you into his everyday world of magical mystique.
- McCOURT was not alone in his efforts. Featured on the CD are the talents of saxophonist Gerard ALBRIGHT, vocalist Phil PERRY, guitarist Mike LANDAU, bassist Nathan WATTS, drummer Gerry BROWN, keyboardist Bill MEYERS and others. Adult Contemporary music fans will notice that Jon LIND, who wrote Save The Best For Last for Vanessa WILLIAMS, has also lent a hand. Jon shares writing for Life's Too Short.
- Kevin has worked with a variety of notable artists including Stevie WONDER, EARTH, WIND And FIRE, BOINGO and LITTLE FEAT. He has also lent his talents to the film and television industries by creating commercial and trailer music for The Walt Disney Studios, New Line Cinema and NBC Network.
- McCOURT is also involved in other special projects, most recently prodsucing a benefit CD for Tom HORMEL and Conservation International in which all proceeds from sales are being donated to the organization in an effort to heighten global environmental awareness. At present, Kevin is working on 2 more releases for the MPWest label, one with his brother, Sean McCOURT - currently on Broadway in The Tony Award winning musical Titanic.
- After years of writing, playing and producing for others, Kevin has finally created a CD to showcase his own talent and positive outlook. The result, COLOR OF THE TRUTH, is what LITTLE FEAT artist Billy PAYNE calls "A collection of songs that are expressive of... joyful surprise, soulfulness, tender and heartfelt meaning... All of which make for a pleasurable and sensual ride."
