The VizzTone label group is proud to announce the upcoming February 28 release of the newest album from Bob Corritore and Friends, Doin’ the Shout! This powerful album marks the career milestone of Bob Corritore’s thirtieth album release.
And today marks the debut of the album’s first single, “I’ve Got Three Problems,” featuring none other than the legendary Bobby Rush! This track, penned by Rush himself, is a significant moment that brings two generations of blues talent together. Known for his masterful harmonica skills, Rush steps back from the harp duties, passing the torch to Bob Corritore while lending his voice and commentary to the track.
The band includes Dexter Allen and Jimi Primetime Smith on guitars, Chester Thompson (known for his work with Santana and Tower of Power) on B3 organ and bass pedals, and Steve Ferrone (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Average White Band, Eric Clapton, and many others) on drums. With this lineup, the result is a strong performance from skilled musicians at the height of their craft.
Doin’ the Shout! comprises twelve tracks, freshly recorded during 2023 and 2024. Featured singers include Thornetta Davis, Oscar Wilson, Nora Jean, Francine Reed, Bobby Rush, Tia Carroll, John Primer, Jimi Primetime Smith and Bob Stroger.
And the amazing list of musicians includes Bob Margolin, Duke Robillard, Kid Ramos, Dexter Allen, Steve Ferrone, Ben Levin, Chester Thompson, Mark Early, Johnny Burgin and many more.
Stay tuned for the second single, “I Guess I’m A Fool” (ft. Francine Reed), out February 7!
