Update on Tommy Shaw’s Bluegrass Album
by admin on Jan.20, 2010, under News
Yesterday I printed the news that Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw is working on a bluegrass album, as he talked about at the NAMM show recently. Today there’s an update. On January 18th Shaw posted to www.tommyshaw.com saying “I’m working on a bluegrass album with my friend Brad Davis. We started writing bluegrass in 2006 after I sang on a track of his and liked the way I sounded singing bluegrass. I love the story telling aspect and colorful instrumental opportunities which are so different from anything else I’ve ever done. This was the first time I had enough of a break to spend some serious woodshedding time and now most of the writing has been completed. We will be cutting the tracks in Nashville in March. We plan to release it later this year.”
Rumor has it that the album will feature guest appearances by some of Nashville’s finest, perhaps including Alison Krauss (who sang on Shaw’s last solo album 7 Deadly Zens) and Marty Stuart.
