Last July, I posted about Hugh Laurie working on a blues album, well it’s called Let Them Talk, it drops May 9, and you can hear & download the tune Guess I’m a Fool from it now for free from his website.
The album was recorded in New Orleans, and you can hear that influence for sure. I have to say I’m impressed with Laurie’s skills! He not only sings and plays guitar (which you House fans already know), but he also plays piano and has that New Orleans style down! I grew up with New Orleans blues & jazz music playing in the house all the time, and for me, listening to this music is like slipping into a comfy old pair of shoes.
