My Weekly Mixtape Album Dive: Sonny Gullage - “Go Be Free” (w/ Kevin "Sonny" Gullage)

Pantheon - Home for Music Lovers

On this "Album Dive" episode of My Weekly Mixtape, I am joined by modern blues artist Kevin "Sonny" Gullage to dig into the stories behind several songs from his debut album “Go Be Free” which is being released via Blind Pig Records.

Some of the songs we discuss include: Just Kiss Me Baby, Go Be Free, Things I Can’t Control, Worried About The Young (feat. Christone “Kingfish” Ingram), Tattooed Wings & Hot House.

We also talk about Sonny’s experience on Season 20 of American Idol, his family relation to blues/folk legend, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee “Lead Belly” Ledbetter; the music lineage in his family (Sister Alberta Gullage released gospel records for the Wajo label in the 1960’s and his father, Tony Gullage played bass for Dr. John, Henry Butler as well as other artists around the New Orleans music scene); working with Tom Hambridge on the writing & production of the album; recording with Christone “Kingfish” Ingram & the lesson he learned from the entire experience overall.
