Prodigal, the long awaited 20 song album of Fidel Martinez and yours truly is available on a major streaming services.

The creation of Prodigal was a feat, but it was well worth it. Outstanding Bakersfield artists, such as Marlon E. Mackey, Kyle Appleton, Reygun Brown, Chris Neufeld, Norm Hamlet, Joey Wilson, Kris Tiner, Paul Perez, Brain Boozer, John Irwin, Zanne Zarow, Paul Cierley, and John Haupt (Joni), are featured throughout the collection of songs.
 
Here (below) is the music video of "Fortune Teller." You will hear Kyle Appleton set fire to the song with his Stevie Ray Vaughn licks and John Haupt who embellishes the tune with his amazing sitar playing skills. Both Fidel and I are over the moon with the production outcome.
Enjoy and please share.
