FIRST ALBUM IN NINE YEARS
Soulsville is the first new album in nine years from Huey Lewis and the News. The new album was recorded in the city's historic Ardent Studios. Recorded with their long time horn section in Memphis, Soulsville features 14 classic songs from the vault of Stax Records, including “Respect Yourself" and “Got To Get You Off My Mind."
For the album cover, Memphis folk artist Lamar Sorrento has created a striking, affectionate caricature of a Memphis street corner. Complete with musicians, rib joints, and, of course, WDIA, the country's first black radio station, Sorrento captures the sprit and energy of Memphis just as vibrantly as Lewis and the News do on their new album.
Soulsville is out November 2.
