“Baton”
Tim Dillinger

Available on iTunes and other e-outlets October 9

Nashville-based Christian singer-songwriter Tim Dillinger samples James Cleveland and the Angelic Choir’s classic “I Stood On The Banks Of Jordan” to underscore a chillingly soulful and confident meditation on what all of us must someday do: pack for the Promised Land and pass the baton to the next generation, so our work may not be in vain.

Dillinger told TBGB that “Baton” is dedicated to the late Albertina Walker and specifically slated for release to coincide with the two-year anniversary of her passing.  He also noted that the full-length album version will lead in with a speech by the late Fred Hampton, chairman of Chicago’s Black Panther Party branch, “talking about dying for liberation and his desire for the people to live for their freedom.”

“Baton” was produced by B. Slade and written by Dillinger and Slade.  Although the single got some unofficial airplay around Nashville, it will officially debut on radio in the US and UK tomorrow.
