The multi talented Katey Sagal who you might know as Gemma Teller Morrow on the hit FX Series “Sons of Anarchy” has debuted her cover of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin” on RollingStone.com today. Although many know of Katey from her acting career, she has had a long standing musical career that included the release of two solo albums, performing back up vocals for Bob Dylan, Gene Simmons, Bette Midler and Tanya Tucker as well as contributing music to the “Sons Of Anarchy” soundtrack.
One thing is for sure, Katey has such an amazing voice that not only emotionally draws you in but her powerful vocals wrap around you as if to keep you safe. She is purely magical when you hear her sing. She will be releasing her album “Covered” on November 11th but you can head over to Itunes and pick up her “Free Fallin” single now. Asked about this upcoming album, Katey replied, “Covered is my third solo record. My two previous records were mostly original compositions. This one is not. I was tired of waiting for myself to write, and anxious to make another album.”
Covered will feature duets with Jackson Browne and songs of Ryan Adams, Gillian Welch, Tom Petty, Ray LaMontagne & more. On this ablum, Katey is also joined by The Forest Rangers, which you might know as the “house band” of “Sons of Anarchy” which is being led by their musical supervisor/ musical director Bob Thiele.
You can listen to the debut of “Free Fallin” by heading over to RollingStone.com. You can also check out Katey as she performed the song live back in April in Minneapolis. Here is that video:
