Chas & Dave detail new LP, Jools Holland and Hugh Laurie to guest
By Aly Barchi | Published on Monday 29 July 2013
Chas & Dave are back (that 2009 ‘retirement‘ didn’t come to much) in time to celebrate their 50th year in the biz. Having camped for a week at Abbey Road Studios with Grammy-winning blues great Joe Henry in charge, the pair will now release a new record called ‘That’s What Happens’ via a brand new deal with Warner Music.
A combination of original tracks and C&D’s takes on early R&B, skiffle and rock n roll classics, it features Jools Holland and Hugh Laurie on ‘keys’, Buddy Holly’s one-time drummer J I Allison, and guitarists Albert Lee and Martin Taylor.
Chime Chas And Dave: “This is one of the most enjoyable albums we’ve ever done. It was a great week in Abbey Road with top class musicians and producer Joe Henry at the helm. An unregimented atmosphere where the ‘room’ worked well alongside the microphone resulting in an album that ran so smooth and joyful that we’ve almost forgotten we did it. But we’ve got proof! It will be available for you all to enjoy really soon”.
‘That’s What Happens’ is released 28 Oct.
