On the upcoming THE
RINGMASTER GENERAL, DAVE STEWART creates a potent and
distinctive musical gumbo, mixing in rock, blues, country, rhythm & blues
and psychedelia. His songs are alternately moving and wry; they are
filled with twists and turns--both musical and lyrical--that constantly
surprise with repeated listens. STEWART’s voice has an alluringly
mysterious quality that guides the listener through these stories of, explains
the ringmaster himself, “love, discovery, and ....”
The album was recorded and mixed
by John McBride at his famed Blackbird Studio in Nashville.
It features 13 new songs--including striking duets withAlison Krauss, Diane
Birch and Joss Stone as well as a duet sung with and co-written
by Jessie Baylin. The blistering guitar skills
of Orianthi are featured as well. As with his recent
album, The Blackbird Diaries, STEWART is backed by some
of the finest musicians in Nashville including: guitarist Tom
Bukovac, drummer Chad Cromwell, bassist Michael
Rhodes, steel guitarist Dan Dugmore and Mike Rojas on
piano.
THE RINGMASTER GENERAL, is set for release September 4 in
the U.S. and September 3 in Europe.
