THE CALLING by Sean Wright

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – May 18, 2009 – Musically, THE CALLING finds Wright once again mining the regally traditionalist sound first heard on ACOUSTIC ARCADE. Hazy bluegrass numbers, acoustic-based songbook pop, and jumpin’ country swing provide the backdrop for Wright’s continuing study of the vicissitudes of life, love, and death. Although he is certainly world-weary and wise, a lot of life is lived in the verses of these songs and there is a sublime spirituality that provides, if not hope (a rather prosaic notion for Wright by this point, to be sure), at least a means to finding contentment. Finally, a word about Wright’s voice here: while his singing has always been unconventional and inveriably melodic in any traditional sense…

Sean Terrington Wright began his Album-A-Month Project in April 2007, offering all of his huge catalogue up for free download at Last FM and Jamendo. His first challenge was to record 12 albums in 12 months. After achieving this in March 2008, he continued to pursue his next goal: to record 24 albums in 24 months. He achieved his aim during March 2009, releasing the 24th album - EXIT RIGHT WITHOUT A SOUND.

EXIT RIGHT is a 12 track album of original songs penned by Sean Wright that cover a wide range of themes and stories. The title track tells the tale of Detective Irvine Smith on the criminal trail of the crooked Two Tone Twins. "A Good Day To Die" is an acoustic masterpiece examining the Battle Of Little Big Horn. "Total Change" calls for a complete transformation of heart, mind, and soul - a global revolution, a re-thinking of what is possible for the future of humanity. While perhaps the most forward-thinking song on the album is the opening track "Our Love…

After writing, recording, and releasing 22 albums in 22 months, Sean Wright has released his first compilation CD album called ESSENTIAL. The album takes 20 of Wright's personal favourites from all of his work so far and combines them on this single disc. Running time is 76 minutes, ranging from acoustic tracks, to rock, to country and folk rock.

"For first time listeners, or folk relatively new to my music ESSENTIAL is a great introduction," said Wright. ESSENTIAL

Album 12 - WAR NO MORE - by Sean Wright was released at the end of March 2008, heralding Wright's remarkable achievement of writing, recording and releasing 12 albums in 12 months.

War No More is a very special album, Wright said. It's my first album that carries a strong anti-war motif throughout. It tells a story that switches narrative, from my strong personal views to the wider perspective of my alter-ego Jimmy, who appears in many of my songs. It completes a very traumatic and paradoxically creative year. It culminated with the loss of my father to cancer on the eve of the album's completion, as well as working with the innovative production genius of Mark Tinley (Duran Duran, Adamski, Dandy Warhols).

Wright began his album-a-month project back in April 2007 and so far he hasn't stopped.

WAR NO MORE completes a remarkable musical achievement: the writing, recording, and releasing of 144 new and original songs that make up a dozen albums.

Wright began his album-a-month project back in April 2007. The project quickly garnered an impressive array of fans and supporters on Myspace and Last FM. Music industry pros soon joined in the plaudits for Wright's songwriting talents - attracting public support from major music industry names, such as Alexander Nevermind, Dan Nash of Just Good Management, Najam Sheraz, Alana Grace, Roman Klun, Betsy Hammer, Swapmeet Louie, Robin Olson, Dana Gaynor, and the legendary harmonica player Jimmy 'Z' Zavala.

Album twelve WAR NO MORE saw a shift in production perspective, with Mark Tinley (Duran Duran, Dandy Warhols, Adamski, The Stranglers, Gary Numan) becoming involved in the project as producer.
