Info for Whiskey & Blues

New York born singer/songwriter Allen Hulsey will release his debut solo album 'Whiskey & Blues' on March 14th. The invite only release party/concert will take place at Babylon located in the old Bomonti beer factory.

Allen's gritty vocals and signature slide guitar sound are accompanied by cello and harmonica in a stripped down acoustic session that sound like he dropped into your living room for a cameo performance. The songwriting encompasses blues, classic country, and rock and had a classic 70's sound due to the fact that it was recorded live with no overdubs untypical in today's digital culture.

'Whiskey & Blues' was produced and engineered by Çağan Tunalı at Noiseist Studio in Istanbul.

The vinyl was cut at Abbey Road Studio and manufactured in London.
