Recently released is Chris Crown's album, The Sun's Gonna Shine. Recorded at Mackinaw Harvest Studios and produced by Chris Andrus, the album is an acoustic journey through Crown's thoughts, emotions and blues influences.
Crown's blues staple - and favorite track on the album - "Blues Honeymoon" was inspired by Crown's own honeymoon.
"While most women dream of a honeymoon in the Bahamas or on a Caribbean cruise, I took my new bride on a blues honeymoon to the Mississippi Delta," Crown said. "We visited grave sites of 'old dead blues guys,' as she says."
The track is quick and upbeat, what one would expect from a blues song, and features Tomas Esparza on harmonica.
The Sun's Gonna Shine transitions from heavily influenced blues tracks to stripped-down acoustic melodies like in the sweetly honest "Doin' the Best I Can."
See Crown play his original tracks all summer long during the Holland Street Performer series every Thursday from 6-8 p.m. And be sure to stop by his CD release show on August 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Schuler Books & Music's downtown location.
