About the Album:
Twelve solo piano improvisations inspired by historic hymns of worship.

Joshua is a bright, creative and amazing young man who was diagnosed a year ago with bone and lung cancer (osteosarcoma). At the age of 16, he was facing a year of intense chemotherapy and surgeries. He is still fighting the fight and is a model of grace and courage to all those who know him.

I have been close friends with Joshua's mother since we were four years old. The news of Joshua's diagnosis was wrenching. So I sat at the piano and improvised on some hymns, recording as I went, thinking that I could send these as an encouragement to the family. The emotions and prayers I experienced as I played each day were both a comfort and a catharsis to me. In the process, the more I recorded, the more I realized these might be worth sharing with a wider circle. These recordings are quite different from anything else I have created in the past. These aren't played from a dusty hymnal. Their spontaneity and "rawness", sometimes wandering, sometimes focused, reminded me of the divine conversation that prayer can be.

May these recordings encourage your heart and your prayers, whatever you may be facing today.

REVIEWS/ARTICLES:

It's been four years since Neil Patton released his Solitaire album, so to say his new release, Holy Ground, was highly anticipated is very much an understatement! Those who are familiar with Neil's music know that he has the playing chops to express whatever he chooses at the piano, but these improvisations come straight from the heart and overflow with Neil's faith as well as his humanity. I see I have used the word "heart" many times in this review, and that really says it all. I give it my highest recommendation.
