YES! My new favorite rockin blues band has a new CD coming out on June 16. Got my review copy today (thank you, Sharon Weiss, at W3 PR!) I’ve been listening to it for the last couple of hours and its great. Produced by none other than the talented Mr. Peter Frampton.

Right now “Hear Me Lord” is playing - written by George Harrison. I believe its the only song on the CD that is not an original. “Amber’s Song” is so pretty and sad. The whole CD is great. I am not disappointed. I think there first one will remain my favorite but they came through again the second time around.

“After a brief break from two years of non-stop touring, Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam is back with a new album produced by Peter Frampton and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. Coming Up For Air, a smorgasbord of rockers and acoustic ballads, includes Davy s and Peter s dueling guitar solos on George Harrison s anthem, Hear Me Lord, and an extraordinary bonus track duet with Jonatha Brooke of her Taste of Danger. The album is built around nine Davy originals (two co-written with Peter Frampton). Highlights include rockers Tear Down The Walls and Riverbed and the soulful Can t Take This Back. After a three week solo stint opening for Jeff Beck in April, Davy and the band are hitting the road again in support of this album.”

Geez, I really don’t want to give this copy away - you’re gonna have to buy your own this time, its worth it!!!!

I hope to maybe catch these guys this summer….my fingers are crossed.
