Lively: New CD from Andy Fairweather Low & The Low Riders
Andy Fairweather Low & The Low Riders - who opened for Eric Clapton on all of his May / June 2011 dates - have released a new CD: Lively. Mixed by band member Dave Bronze, it features R&B, gospel, country and blues all of the tracks highlight the guitar players and songs that influenced Andy when he was growing up. The tracks were recorded at last year's gigs. The other Low Riders are Paul Beavis and Nick Pentelow.
There's a special guest appearance from Chris Stainton on two tracks "Lay My Burden Down / Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and "Worried Man Blues". Of course, Andy, Dave and Chris are all familiar to Clapton fans from their respective tenures in EC's touring and recording bands.
Andy first came to prominence as the lead vocalist / guitarist for Amen Corner in the sixties. In the following decade, he had a string of solo hits. Over the course of his career, he’s also toured and recorded with Roger Waters, Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and many others.
