Artist picture
Outlaw Country with a touch of Bluegrass and Southern Rock. Americana. Biker Music. It's a fresh, unique sound that is hard to fit into a catagory.
Patti Stevens' first CD, produced by legendary outlaw singer/songwriter Billy Don Burns, was released in the spring of 2006. The project is full of heartfelt honesty and emotion. Her style has strong undertones of the rebellious outlaws of the past and present. It is hard to tell fact from fiction as she weaves a vivid tale in every song, each one thought provoking, and bravely exposing a part of herself. Her stories of love and life and the journey in between will bring you to tears and laughter almost simutaniously. One of Patti's songs from the CD, a fun gospel tune with a twist titled Just In Case, recently won first place in the Indianapolis Songwriters Association contest and the song She Rides has been picked up by independent artist band Cabin Row. Her tribute to the Confederate flag, The X They Stole From Dixie has been very popular with-in the biker crowd and also Civil War buffs. "I'm a Civil War buff myself and I ride a Harley, " she says, "so most of my songs are a reflection of that." She came to Nashville to create a niche for herself and she has accomplished this. Many legendary songwriters in Nashville recognized her talent and offered guidance and support...all for the love of a song. Click on Nashville Knows, a song about her first experiences in Nashville and you will hear Billy Don Burns stepping in for the last chorus...(thanks, Billy!). If you are looking for a totally different, yet pure sound, check out her songs and watch for the CD release in january. And if you are and artist interested in performing any of her songs she would love to hear from you! (bio by Paulette LaFay...Music Row, Nashville, TN)

Just telling the truth. As a songwriter, it's not always easy to put the details of your life out there for all the world to see. Hope you like what you hear!
Lyrics
She Rides (c) 2005 Patti Stevens If you saw her you would only see a smile But she has been unhappy since she was a child Bounced from home to home Growing up alone And wild Tried to learn the love she wasn’t taught Blames herself for heartaches that Really weren’t her fault Has her share of men But she won’t love again She’s lost So she rides.....she rides And the wind wipes the tears from her eyes The thunder of the road Is the only love she knows....So she rides You might see her on the highway dressed in black The little girl inside her running from the past When a mom that didn’t care And a dad that wasn’t there Come back Those visions in her head won’t let her be Twisted faces calling from the shadows of the street But she clears ‘em from her mind Outruns ‘em one more time She’s free
