THE MICK FLEETWOOD BLUES BAND'S 'BLUE AGAIN' CD
SET FOR RELEASE MARCH 17
Release Coincides With
Nationwide Fleetwood Mac Tour
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock legend Mick Fleetwood will appear in person in New York at the Barnes & Noble Store at 555 Fifth Avenue on Friday, March 20 at 12 Noon to celebrate the release of BLUE AGAIN--a stunning new project by his Mick Fleetwood Blues Band. Revisiting the classic songs of early Fleetwood Mac, along with new songs in the same style, Fleetwood has assembled a hand-picked quartet of blues and Fleetwood Mac veterans who perform on this fiery blues showcase. BLUE AGAIN is equal parts blues rave-up and loving homage to the early incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, who are just beginning their 40th Anniversary celebration. BLUE AGAIN will be released by the Savoy Label Group's 429 Records on March 17, in time for the kickoff of Fleetwood Mac's highly anticipated world wide tour.
Barnes & Noble is located at 555 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10017.
Produced by Mick Fleetwood and occasional Fleetwood Mac member Rick Vito, BLUE AGAIN was recorded live at the Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, Missouri in February of 2008 and sees him teaming up on this recording with guitarist and lead vocalist Rick Vito, bassist Lenny Castellanos and keyboardist Mark Johnstone. The immaculate recording gives the songs a vibrant, modern immediacy which transcends easy nostalgia. Says Mick: "Over my career I've been called a pop star and a rock star, yet in my inner heart, I will always be part bluesman. On my journey from blues to a life of rock 'n' roll, I've always remembered where I started." BLUE AGAIN is both an original musical tour de force and a respectful tribute to Fleetwood Mac initiated by the sole member of the band to be in every incarnation from the beginning.
