Into the Flow CD

Into the Flow is the seventh solo album from Joseph Akins. It’s a diverse collection of twelve original solo piano pieces that flow from one to the other with the unique style Joseph has established over the past twenty years. Never leaving out his Southern roots, he gracefully blends together elements from new age, jazz and pop genres to deliver heartfelt piano compositions.

Into the Flow begins with the title track, a simple, melodic composition that sets the peaceful mood of the record. The other eleven tracks include slow, pretty pieces such as “A Pretty One for Unita” and “Memories of Far Away”, positive, cheerful songs, such as “The Waterfall Waltz”, and “Foster Falls”; and passionate, emotional compositions such as “The Mystery Café” and “Winter is Here”. Don’t miss the easy country feeling tune similar to “Watertank Hill” (A Southern Sun) called “Ghost of Mill Wee Hollow”.
