Notes
Originally from New York City and now based in New Orleans, veteran bassist, composer and producer Dean Zucchero has constructed a production edifice to showcase his savvy songwriting by conjuring up the righteousness of the New Orleans music congregation and realizing it on record.
Spanning a broad spectrum of sub-genres, Electric Church for the Spiritually Misguided is a sanctuary for all those who’ve fallen astray in the abyss of “musical monotheism.” As a sidestep from the “neo-adherence” to the rigid convention of “the blues,” Electric Church generates a unified spirit through a collection of voices. The shift finds light via the Holy Trinity of songwriting, musicianship and production.
Zucchero commissioned the services of nine of his favorite regional vocalists who each croon a tune: New Orleans’ Blues statesman Johnny Sansone, Mississippi Soul-Blues legend Johnny Rawls, Zydeco master Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes and rising stars Jonathon “Boogie” Long and Ghalia Volt, to name a few. Add two instrumentals to the track list and you have the 11-song album.
