Highly awaited new album from longtime British Blues/ Americanastalwart Todd Sharpville
"Medication Time" explores a period of hislife 16 years ago, where the stress of a child contact battle duringa messy breakup resulted in a total breakdown and a 2 month stayin a mental hospital in West Wales. "I wasn't emotionally prepared forthe sudden separation from my children that came with the divorce. Upuntil then I was somewhat of a control freak, so the realisation thatcontrol is but an illusion never really dawned on me until I found myself foored by reactivedepression, suicidal, & sectioned within a state- run facility. Men rarely discuss these kindof emotions with one another, so they can often surprise the hell out of us and prove tobe too overwhelming to cope with. Being a musician, I was lucky that I was able to ft thepracticalities of my working life around my predicament. I also have some amazing friends.I managed to get back on my feet. Many people don't have these luxuries. Many fall by thewayside and never get back up again." "Medication Time" examines & expresses many of the emotions that led to thebreakdown, the hospital stay, and the slow climb back to fgurative normality. 12 relevant tracks (9 originals & 3 quirky covers), recorded in West Greenwich Rhode Island,produced by 2-time Grammy nominee & multi BMA winner Duke Robillard. Featuringtwo duets: one with Detroit artist Larry McCray, the other with Rhode Island's own SugarRay Norcia.
