May 10 sees the brand-new release “Krissy Matthews & Friends”, which, after “Pizza Man Blues” is his second album released with Ruf Records.
It is a monster album which unites the who’s who of the modern blues and rock scene and took Krissy one year to produce!
Friends on the album include rap metal giants Clawfinger, the god of hellfire Arthur Brown, the voice Chris Farlowe, Germany’s soul queen Inga Rumpf, legendary singer songwriter Stoppok, the iconic Hamburg Blues Band, elite drummers Dennis Chambers & Curt Cress, Blues singing dynamite Big Daddy Wilson, guitar heroes Clem Clempson, Siggi Schwarz, Kai Strauss, Miller Anderson, Eric Steckel, Keith Matthews & Danny Bryant, the beautiful voices of Erja Lyytinen, Alice Armstrong, Layla Zoe, Vanja Sky, Heidi Solheim, Kim Jennett, Marlia Rae, Dani Wilde, Whitney Shay & Cherry Lee Mewis, Harmonica royalty Will Wilde, Jimmy Z & Giles Robson and many more talented musicians!
The album includes 24 songs (double CD) and is almost 3 hours long with a mix of Krissy’s original material and his favourite cover songs. “It was a long time in the making and I managed to get it done. I started the pre-production in November 2022 and went in the studio to begin the meat and potatoes process in January 2023. I wanted to get all my favourite musicians together that I have met on the road in my career. They are not all here by any means, but a good handful are! I did not want this album to have a box, so there are many different genres from metal to blues and jazz to rock’n’roll. But in the end, it is a Krissy Matthews record.”
