Tony Holiday is excited to share his new single, “She’s A Burglar.” The track is off his forthcoming album, Keep Your Head Up, produced by Eric Corne. The new disc will be released on April 18th via Forty Below Records.
The album opener, “She’s A Burglar,” written by Jerry Ragovoy, is a Freddie King classic. It’s Texas Blues featuring good pal Eddie 9V on lead guitar and sharing vocals. Tony is also joined on the track by guitarist Jad Tariq, bassist Terrence Grayson, drummer Ray Hangan, horns are Mark Pender (trumpets), David Ralicke on saxophone, Chad Mason on Fender Rhodes and Sasha Smith on Hammond organ.
Tony explains, “I chose this song because it’s been an all time favorite of mine for years, the Howard Tate and Freddie King version. He continues, “Eddie 9V added an authentic sting to the song with his guitar and set the tone with his great vocals.”
In addition to Eddie 9V, the album features a wide array of special guests – there’s Kevin Burt, Albert Castiglia, and Laura Chavez, last year’s Blues Music Award winner for ‘Guitarist of the Year’ with Holiday shining throughout on vocals and harmonica.
Tony Holiday has been at the center of a Memphis soul-blues revival anchored by a contingent of young, savvy, well-schooled musiciians with a “family-like” attitude and a strong belief in one another. Over the past couple of years, He’s been touring hard, taking spells in between to write and record with Producer Eric Corne in Memphis and Los Angeles. The result is this new album, Keep Your Head Up.
