BLUES/ROOTS BAND MUDCAT TO CELEBRATE RELEASE OF AMERICAN IDLE CD
30 Miles Up is pleased to announce the arrival of
blues/roots/Americana band Mudcat’s tenth studio album, American Idle.
Vocalist and slide guitarist Danny Dudeck (Mudcat) is backed by the
talents of Eskil Wetterqvist on percussion, Shannon Kirk on bass, and
Lil Joe Burton on trombone. Guest appearances include Lori Beth
Edgeman, Lola Gulley, and the Atlanta Horns.
To celebrate this release, Mudcat and band will be performing tunes
from the CD, as well as old favorites on Saturday, November 26, 2011
at Northside Tavern, 1058 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA. Music begins at
10PM; $10 cover; 21 and over. Club info:

After creating and releasing five live-to-tape CDs, American Idle
finds Mudcat returning to multi-tracking with the recording and
engineering talents of Rob Gal. “This batch of new tunes was a bit
different and benefitted from layering and soundscapes that required
using the studio as an instrument,” said Mudcat. Fans will travel on
an expansive musical journey from joyous, sing-along harmonies to
psychedelic guitar riffs and sumptuous horn flourishes and then back
home to front porch parties with close friends through the twelve
original compositions.
