Mick Fleetwood Set To Release A Blues Album With Jake Shimabukuro

Legendary Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood has teamed up with distinguished ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro to record a forthcoming blues album. Blues Experience is due out on October 18 via Forty Below Records. The duo just shared the first single from the record, a cover of the delta blues classic, “Rollin’ N Tumblin’,” which was made famous due to celebrated renditions by Muddy Waters and Cream. “Jake and I had a full let-it-all-go moment on this one!” says Fleetwood of their take on “Rollin’ N Tumblin’. “Jake let his hair down. A blues standard being given a wake-up call!” “Mick’s energy when he plays is so infectious,” adds Shimabukuro. “He’s such an intense musician. He pushes everyone around him, and it’s inspiring to see his facial expressions and watch his movement and the way he hits the drums.” (Louder Sound)
