Same Old Blues
Lil’ Red & The Rooster unveil a soul-stirring rendition of Don Nix’s Same Old Blues, originally recorded by Freddie King. Featuring Grammy-nominated pianist Bobby Floyd, this track weaves raw emotion and masterful musicianship into a moving, healing blues experience.
About the Track
Lil’ Red (Jen Milligan) delivers a heart-wrenching vocal performance, matched by Pascal Fouquet’s searing blues guitar and Bobby Floyd’s soul-soaked piano. The track features Jeff Morrow on backing vocals and the Paris Combo—Jean-Marc Despeignes (bass) and Pascal Mucci (drums)—bringing rich intensity to the rhythm section.
“Tears stream each time I hear Bobby’s first notes on the ivories—simple, full, spacious. You can hear his soul cry. Then Pascal’s guitar rips through to the guts of that universal pain—powerful and precise, as only a blues guitar can. Ripped open to feel again, now the healing can begin from those same old blues.” – Lil’ Red
Recorded and mixed by Matt Hagberg at Vaughn Music Studio in Columbus, OH, and mastered by Mark Abrams, this single offers a first taste of the upcoming album 7, slated for a waterfall rollout leading to an August release.
