Three Kings feat. Henry Butler

Three Kings feat. Henry Butler

• Shrink-wrapped

On his first album for eOne Music, Blues For You, Jeff Golub began a stunning career transition from a contemporary, smooth jazz icon, back to his roots as a blues-rock guitarist of tremendous power and authority. That transition is now complete with Jeff s creation of The Jeff Golub Band, featuring the living legend of New Orleans piano, Henry Butler, currently a featured artist on the hit HBO series Treme. <br><br>The Three Kings of this new collection are B.B., Albert, and Freddie: cornerstones of the modern blues revival of the 1960s, and personal touchstones for Jeff Golub as he dives deeper into the limitless wellspring of this music. Some of the best-known tunes by these three giants are given fresh, modern interpretations, along with inspired original tunes. In addition to the instrumental dazzle, the album is packed with passionate vocals by Henry Butler and drummer Josh Dion. And to add final spice and sizzle, check out the guest appearances by Jeff s fellow guitar masters Robben Ford and Sonny Landreth. <br><br>The album closes with a poignant and haunting instrumental version of B.B. King s greatest hit, The Thrill Is Gone, in which Golub and Butler bring new dimensions and details to this classic of classics. All in all, THREE KINGS promises to be one of the most listened-to and talked-about blues releases of 2011.
