What A Life The Lost LA Sessions

Description

For fans of John Lee Hooker, Blues Brothers, and Blues Rock! David "Lefty" Foster has been captivated by music, particularly the blues, since the beginning of his professional singing career at the age of 14. His journey into the world of blues solidified in his twenties when he co-owned the legendary Shaboo Inn, an R&B and jazz nightclub that hosted blues greats like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and T-Bone Walker. In 1987, he moved to Los Angeles and seized the opportunity to record his solo album "What a Life," produced by the highly esteemed Paul Rothchild (The Doors, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchell). Despite the album's eventual shelving due to unforeseen circumstances, Lefty has now partnered with Deko Entertainment to bring this album to life, now titled "What A Life - The Lost L.A. Sessions." In addition to Rothchild, the album features the incredible Phenix Horns, notably known as Earth, Wind & Fire's horn section, as well as a who's who of the era's top session players, including Jack Scarangella (Blood Sweat & Tears), Mark Williams (Don Henley), Joe Lala (Whitney Houston), Kal David (Etta James), and many more.
