STEVEN SEAGAL GATHERS REMAINING BLUES PIONEERS TOGETHER TO RECORD ALL-STAR ALBUM
STEVEN SEAGAL (star of action films including Under Siege and
Nico) has assembled some of the most vital remaining architects of blues music to record an all-star album in Memphis. As the blues community mourns the recent loss of R.L. Burnside, Little Milton and Gatemouth Brown - who was scheduled to participate - this gathering will preserve the legacy of significant artists and their musical heritage.
In addition to producing the project, the actor and life-long musician will sing and play guitar with such blues pioneers as Bo Diddley, Iverson "Louisiana Red" Minter, Ruth Brown, Bo Diddley, James Cotton, Willie "Pine Top" Perkins, Willie Smith, Calvin Jones, Bob Margolin, Hubert Sumlin, Koko Taylor, Tom Brill, "Big"
George Brock, David "Honeyboy Edwards," Robert Lockwood, Jr., "Homesick James" William Henderson, Henry Townsend.
Alternating recording sessions between Memphis' House of Blues and Sounds Unreel studios, the blues assembly will perform a number of standards plus a few of SEAGAL's originals. Details re the album's 2006 release are forthcoming.
