With the record mixed and mastered, I wanted to share some details about my new self-titled album, Kelly Carmichael. Just before landing here in TX, drummer Jesse Shultzaberger and I laid the groundwork for this record, and joining that rhythm section is Randy Ball on electric bass. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for having these two cats on the record.
Unlike my past acoustic blues records, this one is fully plugged in. The music still draws on my country blues, Delta blues and Americana roots, but it leans hard into rock, a sound that’s been described as ‘Delta Rock.’ The record also features some fabulous guest musicians. I’m super excited to get this record out and into y’all’s ears!
