(Kayos) Eagle Rock will release Paul Rodgers & Friends Live At Montreux 1994 on CD and DVD on September 13th. Touring in support of his Grammy nominated Muddy Water Blues album (available on Eagle Records), Rodgers assembled a top notch unit of blues and rock veterans to give the Montreux faithful the night of their lives. What a lineup! , Queen's Brian May, Black Country Communion's Jason Bonham , Toto's Steve Lukather and Journey's Neal Schon, joined guitarist Ian Hatton, bassist John Smithson and such blues performers and players as Eddie Kirkland, Sherman Robertson, Luther Allison, Robert Lucas and Kenny Neal. As Willie Dixon says, it's a wang-dang doodle!
Material consisted of many of the songs Rodgers penned and built his sterling reputation on (including "All Right Now," "Can't Get Enough" and "Feel Like Making Love") but the bulk of the evening was nothin' but the blues: faithful joyously jam-happy renditions of songs written by Robert Johnson in 1936 ("Crossroads"), Sonny Boy Williamson in 1937 ("Good Morning Little School Girl"), Booker T & The MGs in 1967 ("The Hunter") and three that Willie Dixon wrote for Muddy Waters in 1954 ("I'm Ready" and "Hoochie Coochie Man") and 1961 ("Let Me Love You Baby").
