Kevin McCourt / Color Of The Truth

Who is Kevin McCourt? This was my first reaction to hear his name from my friend. To be honest, I have not been aware that he made many composition with Bill Meyers on his 2nd solo album "The Color Of The Truth". After listening to this Kevin McCourt's solo album released in 1997, I felt that I should give my old web ACMJ visitors full information in respect of the album. Kevin's melodies are the real Westcoast music and his vocal is awesome!
After more than two decades passed, I say I can give you full guarantee of its quality. This album is one of the best albums in late 1990's.

In 2004, I wrote his biography on my blog when he released three CDs - The Words & Music Series: Short Stories With A Soundtrack so I hereby quote as below;

Kevin McCourt started playing music when he was 4 years old, and has been involved in the business ever since. Kevin studied music at North Texas State Univ. and moved to L.A. in the end of 80's era. He did studio session works or touring with many big artists including Taylor Dayne and Stevie Wonder.
Kevin had done film promotional work includes campaigns for "Pearl Harbor", "Oceans 11" and "Finding Nemo" in recent years, but we have been waiting for very very long period until we have the next Kevin McCourt album.
