Mix the truthfulness of Johnny Cash and the pure tones of Nat King Cole in a shaker and pour yourself a strong cocktail of Michael Winters, straight up.

In 1989 I was seated at a dinner party next to superstar Al Jarreau. Our host was playing a bootleg recording of the soon-to-be Voice of the Hour, Harry Connick, Jr. Jarreau, amused by our host”s delight in sharing this music, turned to me and said, ””It”s so cool to find a new sound.”” I agree. Now you have the opportunity to enjoy that experience, because Michael Winters is that new sound.

Winters brings his spellbinding baritone to the table, as well as a disarming connection to his music and authenticity in his treatment of every song on this recording creates a vivid soundtrack to who he truly is: unfussy, charming, sensual and completely
natural. Add smart to that list (did I mention he is an MD?) as you discover the roster of talent that Winters gathered to create this recording.

Produced by the multi-award winning Stacy Sullivan (who happens to be his high school friend and a fellow Oklahoman) with musical direction by ace pianist and arranger, Tedd Firth. A Pre-Existing Condition is a synthesis of classics and country that works because it speaks directly from Winters” heart. Each song is arranged to stand out as a single even as it seamlessly flows into the next tune. That is no small feat, though Sullivan and Firth make it sound easy.
