The creative force of Heavy Drunk’s cutting-edge, rhythm-focused sound is now focused on a new mission to restore the historic Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church and the burial site of Blues Legend Robert Johnson.
To support this effort, Heavy Drunk and an all-star line–up of legendary session players have just released their dynamic new 12-track record ‘You Don’t Know Me’. Listeners will become immersed in the powerful melodies each song holds. From the soulful and stirring lead single, “You Don’t Know Me”, to the irresistible bluesy-jazz soundbed crafted by Los Angeles-based Deltaz brothers – the music here stands out as a divine blend of the past, present, and future.
Heavily drawn from heavyweights of the genre, including the likes of Al Green, Tedeschi-Trucks, and the Marcus King Band, but still with its own unique and undeniable twist. The record culminates with the power of Prince’s Trombone player Roy Agee, four-time ACM Bass player of the year nominee Alison Prestwood, and Dave & Sugar’s Etta Britt on vocals.
Expertly recorded and mixed by Grammy winning Casey Wasner, this album adds dynamism to the legacy of Heavy Drunk and Robert Johnson alike. By recognizing Heavy Drunk’s talent and influence, it will spark conversation about an important mission to preserve a vital piece of music history.
Give your ears the opportunity to experience such a rich and soulful sound, while knowing that a portion of the proceeds go towards restoring the Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church and Robert Johnson’s grave.
