With the sentiment and allure of “Be Mine For Christmas” (KEM--featuring Ledisi) and the Ann Margret/Al Hirt rendition of “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” this solo, seductive contemporary holiday track is “Mississippi Blues meets early Elvis.” Featuring saloon parlor ivories, screamin’ guitar licks and harmonica to jazz things up, this tune is a mood swinger.

Writer James Joiner elaborated and said, "On his latest record, Daytime Turned to Nighttime, he’s relaxed a little, settled into his role as a Southern gentleman, and the laconic tunes seep sincerity as much as they do musical dexterity." For Daytime Turned To Nighttime, Sweany continued to work with local producer and engineer Joe McMahan, who lent his talents to Close To The Floor (2013) as well as That Old Southern Drag (2011). Together, they recruited Ron Eoff (The Band, The Cate Brothers) and Bryan Owings (Tony Joe White, Emmylou Harris) as the rhythm section.

Luke Torn of Uncut rated the album 8 out of 10 and said, "Digging deep into the essence of the late-'60s Muscle Shoals with every note, tapping into both the musical and emotional pull of myriad postwar blues, soul and country styles, Nashvillian Patrick Sweany crafts what sounds like a career highlight."

Inspired by the eruption of submissions to Coors Banquet’s One Horse Town contest, this track is quickly becoming a tribute to the pride Canadians have for their small towns. “As soon as the folks from Coors approached us with the idea about the One Horse Town contest, I knew we needed a theme song for the event, and a song to celebrate the heart of country music,” explains Jason McCoy. “Every One Horse Town is filled with a thousand stories and good times, we wanted the right soundtrack for the party!” “We couldn’t be more excited to have Canada’s best country music act on board to represent the FBR brand,” says Fueled By Rednecks president, Craig Hawthorne. “The FBR store and team will be out in full force at all Road Hammers events, with lots of fun, contests, prizes, and innovative social media activities.
