James Leg has announced his upcoming tour, set to kick off on December 1st.
James Leg, growler, shouter, composer, and Fender Rhodes finger-fer, of the Black Diamond Heavies, steps out with some friends for more songs of hedonistic excess, crazy ass women, and Southern salvation.
On "Solitary Pleasure" he is joined by longtime friend and Cincinnati heavy hitter, Andy Jet Jody (The Gazelles, Pearlene, The Long Gones, The Customs, Oxford Cotton, Barrence Whitfield and The Savages) on drums.
The album was recorded in December 2010 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, during a record cold snap, in the oldest standing church in Rutherford County, now the home of an all analog studio called Grand Palace Studio. The result was then rushed up to Detroit and mixed by Jim Diamond at Ghetto Recorders.
