Paul Rodgers Previews New Album

11/13/2013
. (hennemusic) Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers is sharing a preview of "The Royal Sessions", a collection of classic R&B and soul songs re-imagined by the iconic rock singer due for release in early 2014.

Recorded at Memphis' Royal Studios, historic home of Willie Mitchell and Hi Records, "The Royal Sessions" features Rodgers' interpretations of songs by Otis Redding, Albert King and Ann Peebles, among others

Produced by Perry Margouleff, "The Royal Sessions" pairs Rodgers with an all-star roster of legendary musicians who played on the original hits dating back to the '60's. The classic rhythm section includes Reverend Charles Hodges (Hammond B3), Michael Tolls (guitar), LeRoy Hodges Jr. (bass), "Hubby" Archie Turner (Wurlitzer), Steve Potts and James Robertson Sr. (drums), The Royal Horns and the Royal Singers.

"I really felt I had to get deeper inside myself than I ever had in my life," explains Rodgers. "The end result is that recording these songs left me recharged as a singer and also as a songwriter. My favorite part was the love we could feel in the room throughout all the sessions. We all spoke the same language." Check out the preview here.
