Going beyond the southern textures of 2017’s, Alabama Town, Karp broadens his sound with his 9th release, Blue Flame. Inspired by a conversation with blues songwriter Willie Dixon, he masterfully crafts these 13 original songs by infusing genuine emotion, humor and candor with some funky R&B, southern soul, Americana storytelling and and rock blues. His band gets in on the action too, with special guest Kim Wilson playing some soulful harmonica on the tracks "You Know" and "Rollin' On A Log." Mick Taylor contributes some fine guitar work on "The Turning Point."
