NEWS: Songs For A Voodoo Wedding from 7Horse out on June 10

May 27, 2014  •  Leave a Comment
"Songs for a Voodoo Wedding’ are back alley tales, gin joint anecdotes and street corner legend backs by throw back blues playing which would make Robert Johnson stand up and profess his love to 7Horse." – Innocent Words
 
7Horse-Joie Calio and Phil Leavitt are gearing up to release their new album Songs For A Voodoo Wedding on June 10, produced by Phil Leavitt and Joie Calio, engineered by Jonathan Chi and Scott Gordon, mixed by Dave Way and mastered by Howie Weinberg. The first wave of their summer tour with 28 North kicks off on June 7.
 
The release of the new album coincides with The Holy Day of Voodoo: St. Johns Eve, a celebration that honors the Voodoo Queen Maria Laveau, and much of the inspiration for the new album comes from a visit to New Orleans. The Big Easy is a city the vocalist/drummer had visited often while on tour, but he’d never spent considerable time there until he went to attend a friend’s wedding. “It got the juices flowing.” Explained Leavitt said.
 
From Calio’s dirty blues licks to Leavitt’s earnest, unadorned vocals, Songs for a Voodoo Wedding sounds like the work of two guys who’ve turned over the soil and found the roots.
 
Even if, Calio points out, it doesn’t feel like a do-over. “We don’t feel like this is the second bite off the apple,” he says. “That was a different apple. This is the one.”
