George Benson – Walking To New Orleans

Description

Release Date:04/26/2019;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. George Benson gets back to Americana basics on Walking to New Orleans, the jazz guitar legend’s tribute to both piano-pounding hit machine Fats Domino and the original rock guitar hero and poet, Chuck Berry. Walking to New Orleans is Benson’s first recording since 2013’s Inspiration: A Tribute to Nat King Cole, but it couldn’t be more different. Where Benson embellished Cole’s cool tunes with lush orchestral arrangements, the 10-track collection came about by hunkering down in a Music Row studio, with a quartet of first-call Nashville cats. This is Benson’s 45th album, and few sound as loose-limbed and flat-out fun!;Track List:1. Nadine (Is It You);2. Ain’t That a Shame;3. Rockin’ Chair;4. You Can’t Catch Me;5. Havana Moon;6.
