Interview with Dennis Herring, producer of Buddy Guy’s Sweet Tea (2001). Best blues album I’ve heard in decades. This piece explores how Buddy and Dennis created the songs.

@Tijn@dosgame.club it reminded me of a moment in a film when a reimagined cover song plays over a scene - it’s familiar but also different and the audience enjoys the surprise when they figure it out

@Tijn@dosgame.club The Plastic Bertrand classic reimagined! I really liked it - in a minor key, with a bass solo and a choir at the end.
