Hank Jr., Eldredge drop new albums
Friday, June 17, 2022 – Hank Williams Jr. goes the bluesy root on "Rich White Honky Blues," on Easy Eye Sound. Dan Auerbach, of The Black Keys, recorded the set live over three days, with a dozen songs, reprising classics from Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins, R.L. Burnside, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Turner, and a few from Bocephus himself. The core band consisted of electric slide guitarist Kenny Brown (claimed as "my adopted son" by Burnside), bassist Eric Deaton (who first toured with Fat Possum's Juke Joint Caravan, backing up T-Model Ford and Paul "Wine" Jones), plus drummer Kinney Kimbrough (son of North Mississippi blues legend Junior Kimbrough).
Brett Eldredge is out with "Songs About You." The Illinois native had a hand in writing all 12 songs on the disc. Eldredge gets personal on songs such as "Get Out of My House" and "I Feel Fine," which directly address his struggle with anxiety.
