Amour
Amour
Manufacturer Description
Linden and Dickinson recruited a host of Nashville talent as guest vocalists on the new disc, including the legendary Billy Swan, who sings lead on ''Lover Please'', a song he wrote, which was recorded and became a classic hit for Clyde McPhatter, as well as songbirds Rachael Davis and Ruby Amanfu, plus two of Linden's Nashville TV series buddies - Sam Palladio (''Crazy Arms'') and Jonathan Jackson (''I Forgot to Remember to Forget'').
''These are songs of sentimental, romantic love,'' says Colin Linden. ''They come from country (''Crazy Arms''), blues (''Honest I Do''), rock 'n' roll (''Lover Please''), rhythm and blues (''What Am I Living For''), and folk music (''Careless Love''). I think that is a pretty good read on what Americana really is. ''Careless Love'' is the ID of the record a traditional song of love, longing and regret. I view the entire album as a soundtrack for romance and romantics everywhere, bound together by melody and atmosphere.''
Amour is the first collaboration between Colin Linden (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, TV show Nashville) and Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars, Black Crowes) and consists of classic love songs from the Americana world. Both Linden and Dickinson are true veterans of roots music, having played with and produced some of the biggest names in the business, while displaying the mantle of countless awards and accolades to reflect that.
