Huey Lewis And The News album "Soulsville"
Recorded at the historic Ardent studios in Memphis, the album features 14 classic songs from the vaults of Stax, considered to be the pre-eminent soul music label in the U.S.
Ably paying tribute to the rich Stax legacy, Huey Lewis And The News are joined by their long time horn section to capture the energy and excitement of the recordings originally made in the ‘60s and ‘70s.
“We’re especially proud of the collection.” says Lewis, who has been previewing material from the album while on a critically acclaimed summer U.S. tour.
“There should be a number of surprises for everyone.”
Formed from two rival Bay Area bands in 1979, Huey Lewis and The News play a brand of straight-ahead rock and roll that has outlasted countless trends, selling over 20 million albums and earning Grammy Awards along the way. The group still performs around 100 shows a year. Lewis has enjoyed recent success on screen and stage as well, acting on the hit US television show “Hot in Cleveland”, and performing in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical “Chicago”.
