CeeLo Green releases his new album, CeeLo Green is… Thomas Callaway, featuring singles “Lead Me”, “Doing It All Together” and “People Watching”. This is the Grammy Award Winning artist’s first album in five years, and as critics are saying, “Green’s boom of a voice has been unearthed in a different way than fans… are used to hearing.”
LISTEN to CeeLo Green is… Thomas Callaway HERE:
CeeLo Green, real name Thomas Callaway, collaborated with Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, who is the producer and creative director of this new album. It all came together when Dan invited CeeLo to Nashville for some songwriting sessions and after penning almost 30 songs together (with no intention of creating an album), Dan said that CeeLo’s voice would be great on some of the tracks.
They went into his studio with a live band of legendary 60s & 70s musicians and in one take, they recorded the album that you hear today. This is the first time that CeeLo has recorded in-studio with a live band behind him and it really gives it that vintage sound and feel.
The live band, which Auerbach curated, included Nashville musicians such as Bobby Wood (who has backed greats like ELVIS), Dave Roe (bass player for Johnny Cash), Gene Crisman (famous drummer who played with Elvis, Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield), Russ Pahl (electric guitarist who plays for Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift), among others.
