Corb Lund – Counterfeit Blues (CD)
Product Details
Corb Lund built his reputation playing hardscrabble honky-tonk and cowboy songs rooted in the Alberta ranching life he grew up in, so stepping into the room where Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Howlin' Wolf once cut sides wasn't a stretch so much as a homecoming. The deluxe edition adds extra material that deepens the portrait of a songwriter who has always understood that the blues and country music share the same bones.
On very short notice, Americana and Canadian Roots artist Corb Lund was given the chance to record an album at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. There were two challenges, it would be filmed for a CMT-TV special and he had two days to record. Taking advantage of Sun's record live on the floor nature, Corb recorded Counterfeit Blues an electric, raw and pure homage to the sound of Sun Studios.
