Grammy 2025 : paras nykybluesalbumi -ehdokas.
Not many people start new bands in their 80s, but legendary guitarist, producer, and songwriter Steve Cropper isn't slowing down any time soon. The triple-threat musician was recently nominated for his first solo Grammy for the debut from his tight and tuneful rock n' soul quintet, Steve Cropper & The Midnight Hour.
Cropper has wasted no time in following up this success with the sophomore album, Friendlytown. Always pushing ahead and never repeating himself, Steve Cropper & The Midnight Hour is now introducing its new lead guitarist, none other than ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons. Also stopping by Friendlytown is Queen guitarist extraordinaire Brian May, and country-rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Tim Montana who has balanced a successful solo career with high-profile collaborations with Gibbons and Kid Rock.
"If your booty is not shaking in the first two bars of this album you're already dead in a chair," laughs Cropper. "I feel so good about this batch of songs. They're packed with radio hooks, and we have Billy Gibbons, Brian May, and Tim Montana playing on the album--it's like guitar heaven."
