Guy Sebastian’s Memphis Album was such a success, he’s decided to head back to the States to prepare for a follow-up. But don’t expect another album of soul covers. While it’d undoubtedly sell well, Guy’s busy collaborating with the likes of David Ryan Harris on some original songs. A star in his own right, Aussie music lovers might recognise David as part of John Mayer’s current band.
Stax legend Steve Cropper must have enjoyed Guy’s company last time around, because he’s also working on this new release.
“We are meant to be writing but we are mainly just jamming and hanging out,” Guy said on his website.
Great things come out of jam sessions, so who knows what this meeting of creative minds will produce.
Guy fans won’t hear this new release for a while, so thankfully there’s a DVD in the works to tide fans over. Sony BMG plan to release a live DVD featuring one of Guy’s Memphis Album performances at Melbourne’s Crown Casino. It will be in stores on May 3.
