Another Day’s Journey

Description

Greetings from my journey! I have had a great time visiting some wonderful musical friends and have been inspired by trips to various places from my past, present and future. I went all the way back to my jug band and classic blues roots and recorded a couple of duets with MARIA MULDAUR. On a sunny day in Brooklyn with blues great GUY DAVIS and Les Paul’s last bass player, NICKI PARROTT, we had a mini hootenanny with tunes, old and new. DUANE ANDREWS came all the way from Newfoundland to add his sparkling guitar to some swing and blues locales. I have also been looking ahead with my friends KIM & REGGIE HARRIS. Reggie and I collaborated on a couple of new songs that we have packaged up here with sacred steel star, CHUCK CAMPBELL. Along the way DAVID WALL, AMOY LEVY and JOANNA CHAPMAN-SMITH added vocals, and my brother CHRIS WHITELEY, son BEN WHITELEY, drummer BUCKY BERGER and national treasure, pianist JOE SEALY, all stopped by to be part of my musical adventure. I hope Another Day’s Journey will be as joyful and memorable a trip for you as it has been for me. Check out my twisted map too! ~ Ken Whiteley
