My new CD titled "Can't Stop Now " will be released on Electro-Fi Records in the spring of 2008!  The contents will include 2 songs dedicated to my good friend and yours the late great Johnnie Johnson.  The remaining songs will be a mixture of modern and traditional blues.  On "You Cured My Blues" features a wonderful guitar solo from Jeff Healey who recently passed away. He was a true friend and will be deeply missed. I've included my son Cory to lay down a little rap on "My Little Peach" which I believe will get a lot of attention from the younger generation.  Thanks to all the musicians and my personal manager Rick Bates for his musical guidance.  Rick Bates has recently accepted a prestigious position as Activities Coordinator for the Big Bear, California region. Rick is sharing the management responsibilities with the capable and well-respected Nancy Meyer of the BatesMeyer Inc. I've known Nancy for some time and her experience managing great bluesmen like Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters and other Blues & Jazz artists is welcomed. Welcome aboard Nancy Meyer! Also welcome back my publicist Karen Leipziger from Nashville, she's one of the best in the Nation!

I had the pleasure of meeting and performing with these three great piano players. I did a concert in St. Louis, Missouri with Johnnie Johnson, a concert in Atlanta, Georgia with Floyd Dixon and a concert in Vancouver with Big Joe Duskin before they all passed on. It was truly an honor to have met and boogie-woogied with them all. You'll be missed, my piano brothers. 

My trip down to New Orleans last year to meet my mentor "Fats Domino" in person was delayed until further notice due to the rebuilding of the 9th Ward. Fats Domino's house was the only house in the Ward that was rebuilt. My prayers goes out to the other folks who could not return back to their homes. Stay tuned for a possible documentary about my adventure to New Orleans in the near future. More to come...
