Hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2006 album ""CMon CMere"", Ohio native Patrick Sweany returns with a new set of rock n' soul numbers on ""Every Hour Is A Dollar Spent"". The album was engineered and produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, and  features 11 new Sweany-penned tunes. The album was mastered by Paul Hamman, who, along with his legendary father Kenneth, was responsible for engineering classic albums by The James Gang and Grand Funk Railroad, among others. The combination of Auerbach and Hamman takes the new album away from the Southern roots sound of Sweany's previous releases and into the classic Rust Belt rock of the 70s. Add to this Sweany's tasteful guitar work and impressive vocals (that seem to get better with each recording), and you have an album that not only sounds gorgeous, but captures the energy of Sweanys riotous live sets.
