About the Album: “Heart of the Eternal”
“Heart of the Eternal” is Croce’s follow-up to his critically lauded cover album “By Request” and marks his first full collection of original material since 2017’s “Just Like Medicine,” described by No Depression as “brilliant” and by PopMatters as a “fluid expression of sorrow and gratitude.” Reflecting on the album’s inspiration, Croce says:
“I’ve always felt that music is the heart of our humanity. It’s the purest way to connect to one another. Every songwriter I’ve ever met has told me that they don’t know where their greatest songs have come from. Maybe it’s our dreams or subconscious that allow us to draw from that eternal well of creativity. I don’t know the answer but I’m always looking for it. While stylistically diverse, this album is my search for the heart of the eternal.”
Recorded at the iconic Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, the new album features a group of celebrated musicians, including bassist David Barard (Dr. John), drummer Gary Mallaber (Van Morrison’s Moondance and Tupelo Honey), and guitarist James Pennebaker (Delbert McClinton, Jimmie Dale Gilmore).

Regarding the lead single, “I Got A Feeling,” Croce adds:
“I’d written the music and had the hook for a few months before sharing the song with Tommy Sims, who I thought would be the perfect collaborator. The groove, my guitar riff, and my distorted Rhodes solo were all influenced by the psychedelic soul of the late ’60s. Artists like The Chambers Brothers and Shuggie Otis were the inspirational point of departure.”
