Karp’s striking new album, Magnificent Heart is a stirring collection of songs and observations. It bends the boundaries from blues to ballads, all conveyed with the insight and authority for which Karp’s songs have come to be known.
Released Feb. 2, 2018. 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.
Alabama Town is Peter Karp’s 8th original CD. Produced by Peter and multi Grammy Award winning producer Dae Bennett (Tony Bennett). It was inspired by the music he heard growing up in Enterprise, Ala in the 1960s and is dedicated to his African American step mom Ruth Turner (12/4/1925 - 10/29/2016). It features his trademark slide guitar as well as guitar work from his friends Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones), Garth Hudson (The Band) Paul Carbonara (Blondie), Todd Wolfe (Sheryl Crow), his son James Otis Karp, and harmonica virtuoso Dennis Gruenling.
The Arson’s Match, a never-released live show, was recorded at a sold-out performance in New York City. Originally broadcast on Sirius Satellite Radio, Karp and his Roadshow Band perform his original songs together with Mick Taylor, of the legendary Rolling Stones, on guitar.
